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.

And the pain of tape coming out, and then you have to put the reel in through clocking in via pen or pencil.

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?

With your cursor inside the minesweeper window type "XYZZY" then press Shift-Enter and Enter. A white dot should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. If it turns black, your cursor is resting on a mine

I heard that one of the reasons these and other games came preloaded is so owners can become proficient with using the mouse, clicking on icons, not randomly clicking etc.

My quickest on easy was 4 seconds, and 87 on extreme. I don't think that I want to give any more of my life to that thing. (What, someone has Daleks? Where?!)

It's a lot like baccarat: two turns and I lose. At least they don't take away my chips in Minesweeper.

You didn't understand the 1 rule of the game? Literally the one, single point/rule? You're an idiot.

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.

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.
