Nostalgia has a place in everyone's hearts, but no one floods the internet with their sentiments about the past as much as 90s kids. The 90s, after all, were a magical time when playing silly games outside all day met the development of modern technologies that have shaped and molded us into who we are now. And proud about it we are. However, since no age group spends online as much time as we do, cut us some slack, why don't you?

Many things made our childhood special — the CD player that wouldn't fit into any pocket, the legendary Tamagotchi, and hilarious 90s fashion that seem to have re-born nowadays quite seriously and not in the form of hilarious memes (much to our dismay). Most of these 90s nostalgia relicts are hardly available now, so we have to keep their memories alive. And what better way to do so than creating funny memes? Scroll down to check out the nostalgic selection of 90s trend that will instantly send every kid of the decade down the memory lane and upvote your favorites.

The real issue was what little boys did at the top of the slide after dark. Also, how the hell are playground slides a "90's" thing?

Gah! I used to open this and clean the inside all of the time. It drove me up a wall if the little rollers inside got caked with gunk and my cursor wouldn't move smoothly.

My daughter started this and then she wouldn't finish it, they would get hungry, sick and die. I started feeling sorry for them and took over raising the last one I found she had begun. After I got it finished and it became an adult. I hid the game on her. Lmao

Still remember my teacher got so exasperated with all the beeping noises and everyone pausing to feed the pet. Lost the argument when he's told turning it off would "kill" the pets.

I yanked the batteries and the compartment lid off. Yanked because we didn't have a screwdriver small enough to open the battery compartment screw.

My husband, when he was a child, enjoyed making the poor virtual animal die in the most cruel ways, not feeding him, ceasing to cuddle, ceasing to clean it. it was a unique cruelty with that poor little dog. but I forgot it around, maybe at school or friends. much better my real cats who take me to head if I do not feed him.

I had a bet with a friend that she would quit smoking for as long as I could keep my pet alive. It lasted a really long time... like three months? When it finally died I didn't tell her for a few days until she asked about it. Turned out she'd also started smoking again a few days back without telling me. Ah well. I'm pretty sure she did eventually kick the habit.

When I grew up we didn't had such money to afford SONY. But there came another brand which copied sony and made these things accessible to many people - "AIWA". Does anyone else remember that brand ?

Worse with the ones that fall really slowly. The start of it wakes you up, then you spend the following 10 mins frozen in bed, trying to distinguish what the sound was and if you were actually still asleep or not lol

Well there was a time when i got a whole set of colors ( bear headed crayons, markers, water colors, pencil colors) and that was the happiest day of my life since that was my very first time I started my journey as an artist.. but one of my classmate stole it.. he freaking stole it.. -_- and this was back when I was in 1st grade and he didn't admit he stole it and i never saw my own art kit again..

Nsync, Back Street Boys, U2, Nirvana, Metallica, Guns n Roses, The Verve, Savage Garden, Santana and hundreds of such more awesome bands. Thousand times better then todays crappy EDM and other techno nonsense. Glad to be born in that era. And Sorry how can I forget BRYAN ADAMS.
