Though it ended more than 20 years ago, the '90s was a special decade. And we can still feel its influence. If we take a look at fashion, we see slip dresses, cycling shorts, and cargo trousers making a comeback, and if we turn to the music world, we hear bands like Slowdive coming back from a long hiatus and having a renaissance, and all while TV shows like the Rugrats become the inspiration for memes shared all over the internet.
So in order to give you a full dose of nostalgia (or to simply show you what that period was like if you haven't lived through it), we put together a collection of the top posts we've seen on the social media project '90s Babies Only' that shares posts about what it was like to grow up back then.

Lol turning it off and putting your arm next to it to feel the energy
Wait, that guy is adam sandler???? NO WAY, what happened between the 90s and idk 2009???
It's wholesome and all, but this factoïd is so often presented on BP that I'm slowly getting to the "Jules' breaking point" : "Say 'Mr Roger narrate feeding the fish' again, I dare you! I double dare you MF!"
... I drove a stake through a guy's heart because I knew how his magic trick was done.
OK, I'm not one of those people who think the worst thing in the world is blacking out obscenities... but this is hilarious!
Growing up in the 80 I often wonder what went wrong. We were fighting for something better like this and we had this whole, be who you want to be culture rolling. How could it go backwards so badly
...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.................

It’s even worse now. If I hear just *one more* little knothead call my teenaged years “the 1900s” 😩
In the third grade, we would get the whole lunchroom singing the Fresh Prince theme song.
I was thinking about his today- realising that the way I fry about The Beatles when I was a teen, is how teens today feel about for eg: The Backstrret Boys or New Kids On The Block!
I realized this recently. I grew up in the 80s and I said the 1940s to the 1980s is like the 1980s to now. S#/T got real in my head.
Still, having my own money is better than not having my own money. Being confident beats feeling the need to justify my hobbies. Now I don't have to prove that the thing I like is "A stunning visual novel with a deep subtext that leaves a lot to think of" or "A unique animated narration with complex plot and appealing characters that all have many layers" or "A complex, challenging interactive feature with an original plot". I feel fine just saying "I like this cartoon, this videogame and this comic book about guys in spandex beating the living hell out of each other". I don't miss the childhood.

Same! Decades have definitely gotten shorter.

This actually applies to 80s babies too. Pretty much applies to all people who were kids in the 90s.
Too many of these are just kid things. Oscar Meyer has been making bologna for 125 years, sliced bread is 95 years old and Kraft came out with the fake American cheese slices in 1956. Our grandparents got those sandwiches stuck to the roof of their mouth.
Well, I don't know what the vast majority of these are so now I fell EXTRA old.
