The 90's Suck....PSYCHE!!

Nice topic, Zecora ^__^

Yes, I do miss the 90's. I mean, I enjoy this age of technology that we live in currently, but I miss simpler days and times.

-I miss the days of 'Snick' on Nickelodeon, on Saturdays, and the green slime that represented Nickelodeon.

-I remember having a crappy dial up connection as a kid, and we had AOL 3.0. I'd stay on there for an hour or two a day just IMing family members, and such. Huh...strange. I still have a dial up connection, but not with AOL, lol

-I recall watching countless episodes of Doug, Rugrats, Rocko's Modern Life, and Ren & Stimpy. I also remember being afraid of the Snick show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?", around the age of 5 or so. lol.

-I owned countless Pokemon cards to the point that it made my mother crazy at times, just trying to keep up with the trend, and the merchandise! lol.

-I had a furby, too. He was colored like a giraffe. I played with him for a year or two, and grew bored of him.

-Did anyone have slap-bracelets, or was that the wrong era? I had quite a few of those. I think me and my older cousin would trade those.

-I remember right around '98 or '99, I was really into Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and N*sync. ...Yeah, I was one of those girls.

-EDIT: I recall owning a pair of pink jelly shoes, and crying when they didn't fit me anymore. I was really sad to see those go. I also owned some of those wacky troll dolls with the bright colored hair [not sure what their purpose was], and some of them had a jewel in their belly button. I also had a few cupcake dolls, and crystal princesses [I think that's what they were called]

Remember this awesome music video?:



Talent shows would be dominated by this dance for years to come.

Anyone else remember the tamagotchi fad?



I got my very first one for my ninth birthday. I brought it to school with me, and left it on my desk at recess. When I came back, someone had reset it and it was back to being an egg. Many tears were shed that day. :<

The '90s were also memorable for being the start of computer animated films. I remember being absolutely astounded when I went to see Toy Story at the age of 7.

Oh, and the music! I still love the Cranberries and the Corrs, and there was also Lisa Loeb, Des'ree, Seal ("Kiss from a rose" <3), etc. Also, I've got to admit, even this is still a guilty pleasure for me:

Haha, I liked how in the opening sequence, when all the other Planeteers shouted their superpower, it showed them doing something cool like summoning up a fireball or a waterspout...but when Mati yelled "Heart!", it immediately cut to "Goooooooo Captain Planet!"

Oh my god if another person my age says theyre a 90s kid, i'm going to flip my ♥♥♥♥.
Yeah from what my sisters tell me, the 90s seem cool. Cool bands in the 90s ill give you guys that.

LOL YES. His pet MONKEY was more entertaining than him wtffffffff.

Let's look at it this way.

Ocarina of Time came out in '98.

However you feel about OoT or Zelda in general, there's a damn good chance that this site wouldn't exist without that game.

Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is debatable.

I hated those Giga Pet things. I remember being in school and they'd always be going off in kids' backbacks because they needed to be fed or have their poop cleaned up.

Also:





♥♥♥♥ YEAH!

Some reason I couldn't find the actual video, but this was describes the 90s. Everyone loved the 90s, Bush ruined it and it's gonna take like another 3 half-black presidents to fix it.

Even better (much much better):



Super Mario 64 ('96) alone makes the 90's the best decade ever.

Bush was a great band, I don't know what you are talking about.

The 90's were kind of okay, I guess. I don't think of those years with nostalgia, though. Junior and senior high school was kind of sucky; and when I hear 90's music on the radio, the DJs insist on calling them "oldies," or whatever.





And I feel that this is obligatory, although completely off-topic:
Damn kids, GET OFF MY LAWN

Jinny lets go be old together. I had some good times in the early 90s with watching Beavis and Butthead and junk. Oh yes and discovering good music. But we know the 80s were better.

We're doing '90's music, huh?

We should go find a porch somewhere, sit in our rockers and just enjoy drinking tea. Maybe hose down a few kids who dare walk on the lawn.

But we know the 80s were better.

Yeah, they were totally rad.

\(^o^)/

I was totally going to post some Fraggle Rock up in here to please Jinny, but then I realized that was an 80's thing.
