If you were lucky enough to grow up in the 1990s, you know what a time it was to be alive. You may have forgotten all the great things that made your childhood so special. Here are 15 of some of the greatest 90s trends you may have crazed!
1. Nintendo 64
If you weren’t playing Mario cart, Mario party, or super smash bros in your bean bag or inflatable chair, you were doing life wrong.
2. Spice Girls
Let's be honest, if you say you haven’t jammed out in the shower or sang karaoke to “Wannabe”, you’re not just lying to everybody but to yourself, too.
3. Lisa Frank
Lisa Frank school supplies was a must have for any girl, most especially, unique rainbow folders, ranging from unicorn to puppy designs. Now, you’ll be surprised if you can get your hand on a printed folder that isn’t of a new boy band or artist.

Whether plain gray or classic purple, tetris, donkey kong, and pokemon games, served as unlimited fun.
11. Tamagotchi
Mom wouldn’t let you get that puppy you wanted. Deal, settled for a tamagotchi and probably gave it more attention then you would a real pet.
