How do you know that your childhood is truly over and you’re getting old? When the things you grew up with start making the rounds on “nostalgia” pages on social media. At least that’s how I learned that I’m not young anymore. Pokémon, Tamagotchi, and It, starring Tim Curry, became things today’s youth knew nothing about — something intriguing and exotic, or, simply put, things from the ‘90s.

Bored Panda has prepared a list of more nostalgic things from the best decade of them all — the 1990s, this time from the wildly popular IG page “90s.era.nostalgia.” Scroll through them and get lost in the delightful waves of nostalgia as you reminisce about biking around the neighborhood, watching Home Alone on Christmas, and your questionable fashion choices.

    I have a cousin that got arrested for removing a sewer drain. I thought it was just because he was drunk and stupid. I didn't know he was looking for work.

    Pokemon professors gave 10 year olds pokeballs and a pokedex that could have easily come pre-filled out so the kid would go out and explore the world so they could sleep with their single moms.

    X-Box (Microsoft) would be the fire nation, buying up (taking over) as much as they can. Dreamcast would the the Air Nation (No longer around), Playstation would be the Earth Kingdom (went evil in Legend of Korra - getting rid of physical media), making Nintendo the Water Nation
