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.

    When I was a kid I used to wear track pants under a skirt. My mother hated it but I refused to go in public otherwise. Also I would stretch my socks up to my knees XD I have no idea why. Yet today I'm the person my family come to for fashion advice XD

    When the girl on the left is an adult, she will look back at that photo and complain about the awful clothing her parents put her in. Styles change and we look back at the styles of the past with disgust. It's how it works.

    Nah I really think it depends on the parent, and also where they are from maybe. My mum and her mum would always dress me in fuzzy pants and a regular shirt (usually mismatched) and my grandma on my dad's side always tried to get me to wear fancy clothes

    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.
