The 1990s certainly had their moments, didn't they? While some memories from that decade bring a smile, others, particularly when it comes to fashion and fads, might make us chuckle (or perhaps even wince a little) in retrospect. It was a time of bold choices, and let's be honest, some of those choices were truly questionable. This collection of 34 trends is a rather amusing trip down memory lane, showcasing some of the styles and fads that, thankfully, most of us have moved on from. It’s a fun reminder that not everything from the past needs a comeback!

I may be the lone person who wishes these would make a comeback, except for that annoying swish-swish sound with every step. Comfy, water-resistant, and so vibrant!

Question: Are they lemon, pineapple, or banana flavored? I'd say lemon.

I wore them once but hated them. So hard on your feet and so many blisters!

Must have blinked and missed this in the 90s, but they were around as early as the 1950s and 60s, some kids were still made to wear them (and wear suitably ridiculed) when I was growing up (no, I'm not that old, thinking the 1970s here),

I was going to say 80s, but maybe I was just too old the second time around.

These are so popular again in Australia. My friend makes them and sells them at markets.

There’s one dude at my school that has this. I have no idea who he is, but I will periodically see him in the hall and think “oh, there’s Frosted Tips”

Parachute Pants/Jeans

An exaggeration from '70s hippie-style. I remember wearing my mother's 3 pants, what were her favorites in '70s, therefore preserved for me to have in '90s.

If you couldn't take care of your Tamagotchi, I'm not sure if you're qualified to raise a kid /hj

These got caught in your hair so easily and I always ended up stretching the springs trying to get it out.

Y2k Hysteria
Petra Peitsch 9 months ago (edited)
When society was still effective. Yes, I know, younger generations as gen-X, are making fun and memes about the Y2K-problem. What they really don't realize, that they are able to make fun of it, is due to very hard work of professionals on global scale, to fix this problem. And a generation later, is the same with Covid, in an other field. We never learn. Or at least, not enough.
