Photographic Proof The 90s Was The Best Decade
Twitter

Ah, the 90s. Those years were a simpler time: a time without smartphones or the Kardashians, and all the Bop Its,

Let's face it though, men had less luck in the fashion department


**Still fly though**

Also the bad fashion that was oh-so-good

In the 90s, apparently no one cared, at all. And it's a beautiful thing. #blessup

Robert Downey Jr., bless you

The Shows

When I first started watching and appreciating TV, it was reruns from the 90s. My childhood would be completely different without Everybody Loves Raymond, FRIENDS, the Amanda Show, Seinfeld, the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and of course, Spongebob. Plus, SNL was in its absolute prime (you don't agree? I'll fight you). Other popular shows that remain faves of today are Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Saved By the Bell, Full House, Law and Order, Dawson's Creek, and Alf.

"Are you familiar with... truth or dare, Canteen Boy?"

The Toys

Since I wasn't old enough to appreciate Kate Moss and Johnny Depp while they were dating, I was thankful af for 90s toys. We all had Super Soakers, Bop-Its, Ferbies, and Tamagotchis (until we let them die). I can honestly say that if you gave me a box of Beanie Babies (with the tags on) with the Battleship board game in it, I would be entertained for hours. And I still play my Gameboy, so...

And finally, the people who made the decade special.

No, I'm not talking about your parents, but I'm sure they did their part. I'm talking about 90s royalty: Kurt Cobain, Tubac, Winona Ryder, David Bowie, Bill Clinton, the entire cast of FRIENDS, and many more. Whenever I see these people, I smile and wish they hadn't had so many bad plastic surgeries.

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
