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.

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!"

OK, I'm not one of those people who think the worst thing in the world is blacking out obscenities... but this is hilarious!

It's even worse that talking about the 70s today is the same as kids in the 70s talking about the 1920s!!! **** I'm old!

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

Just watched Back to the Future last night and thought the same thing. Marty went 30 years in the past and it was 1955. When I think 30 years ago it felt like yesterday.

Why would you tell me this? Why would you do that? What is wrong with you?

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 saw something the other day that said 2023 is as far from 1980 as 1937.

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.

My best friend and i were tasked by the science teacher to record new episodes of bill nye to bring into class. I noticed that he never did a show on atoms so i emailed the show and a few weeks later a "special edition" show came out all about atoms.

Nobody but the young generation understands the young generations fashion. So it was in the past, so it will be in the future.
