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.

Coming from a non-English background, these really helped understand the lyrics.

    Whoa CHILL... 'Me' I appreciate your expression of opinion but it is really not an untrue fact that many people of the young generation are on their phones a lot but it is also not untrue that many older people are always on their phone (to state my opinion). I see almost nobody not on their phones in the train but I can't say that it is a problem. People need phones for work and leisure (which is good once in a while). I think it is alright for everyone, (including the young generation) to adapt to the recent times and take advantage of the technology available. Thanks for reading my opinion! 😁

    Oh please, if you were born after 1920 you had way, way, way more technology than any previous generation had. We were condemned for playing Nintendo and Sega Genesis and watching 80s/90s kids shows. How quickly everyone forgets and suddenly acts like they grew up in the 1880s.

    It wasn't 24/7 then, it was when you'd finished your chores maybe. I'm an adult now and will admit I'm addicted to my cellphone. I long for simpler times when I counted myself fortunate to have a 20' long phone cord so I could walk around my room freely with my landline telephone. Ha.

    Pretty sure plenty "kids these days" also still play outside. And plenty of 80's and 90's kids probably stayed in doors playing video games or carrying around old school portable game systems. Just because you found a photo matching your ideals doesn't make it true.

    i hate these things. everyone uses what they had available/were allowed. we weren't allowed outside to do those things cause we lived in a crappy neighborhood and it was dangerous so i ended up reading a lot because that's what i *could* do. i've seen lots of parents today not allow their kids outside without supervision (which is mostly absent as most homes are 2 parent working households). of course they're going to connect with what they have access to.

    Actually, you'd take the photos and look at them. You'd try and get a good pic, rather than just taking a whole bunch. And, get this: you'd take photos of other people and things, rather than always being the center of attention.

    I'm not being rude or a troll here, but I do take photos on my cell phone and look at them. I do get good pics (for free) and get to take better pics when the initial ones did not work out. I also mostly take photos of other people and things and myself once in a while. We did that too with this disposables (selfies) it just never turned out well.

    When I was in 2nd grade we had this Daddy-Daughter-Dance thing where a bunch of sweaty elementary scholars would dance to Disney songs while the dads would stand by the bleachers in a 90 degree gym. Anyways, my mom did NOT trust me with a nice camera, so she found one of these cameras (TBH I have no idea what they're called) and said that I couldn't take many pictures, so don't go crazy. I, being 7 years old, figured that this meant, like, 100 pictures or something. So I take a ton of photos. I come home and I'm like, "Moooooom, can I see my pictures now?" And she said, "I'll pick them up sometime this week." I was so confused. So that week, I go with my mom and we get the photos. "Wait, Mom, there's only, like, 10 pictures here and some of them are blurry." Long-story-short, my Mom decided to be very specific after I kept asking the lady at the counter for my photos XD

    1. That's the most 90's Jr High List ever. 2. I know from personal experience, you can fit more than nine songs on a mix CD and 3. That's a DVD-R. There's no playing that in your Sony boombox.

    We had a teacher who would confiscate and read aloud any note she saw. I deliberately wrote the most embarrassing/shocking/silly thing I could think of and exaggeratedly passed it. Mrs. Lemon grabbed the note and began reading: "What are you giving up for Lent? I'm giving up smoking cigars and..." She went quite red and refused to read the rest, which was something like "farting in crowded elevators while picking my nose".

I've seen them only used- for well over $800 each. Every time I watch them run through the airport I count the money and wonder.

    who remembers.. Kali? a seriously addictive powder sold to young children everywhere in the 1960s/70's - generally to be bought secretively in a white paper bag - sometimes with a lolly

    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 remember actually having conversations on the phone before all our phones had TEENY TINY LITTLE hold where the sound came out, and you have to be a magician to get it positioned JUST RIGHT on your ear to hear. And holding a cellphone to the ear is very uncomfortable for any length time. And also, it doesn't allow for both to talk at once, making the conversation jilted, awkward, etc. The cell phone killed conversation. I used to talk for hours with my best buddy in high school when it was too late for he and I to hang out.

    Do the children and teens these days decorate their rooms with posters? When I was a teen there was plenty of teen magazines available and each of them had plenty of posters of new movies and popular bands. Nowadays there are not many of teen magazines available so also posters are probably more difficult and expensive to get.

    Go see how far you can sharpen it in that big crank-turn pencil sharpener in the class that you get to get up from your desk to use and annoy everybody...

    Kids still do this. It was like a challenge in 6th grade:"Who can write the best with the shortest pencil?????"

    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.
