The '90s was probably the best decade of your childhood. Everything was carefree and the tech was still brand new. We were the first kid generation to really experience the wonders of technology and the best cartoons. Nothing could beat those Saturday morning sitcoms with your box of cheerios.

You were a total '90s kid if you remember all of this.

1. Cartoons

Our cartoons were pretty rad in the 90s. Nothing could beat the amount of greatness there was on Tv. We had: Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, The Original Teen Titans, Space Jam/Looney Toons, Land Before Time and Rugrats. Not to mention the show Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends that let you think it was okay to keep your imaginary friend around longer than you should.

2. MTV

When you could actually watch music videos on MTV for hours and hours, listening to the top songs of the week and year. It was the first thing you turned on Sunday mornings.

3. VCR/The Rewind Button

When DVDs were the rich kid’s way to watch movies. You had the bulky, rectangular piece of plastic that you shoved into a VCR player. Then you had to press the dreaded rewind button, because you were too lazy to do it when you finished watching the movie last time. Rewinding took FOREVER and you still refused to do it at the end for next time.

4. The Games

Our games were the best and took up so much of our time. If you wanted to break your ankles we had Skip-it. Wanted to predict our future life? We had MASH and MATH. On Fridays and the last day of school we played Heads Up 7-Up to keep busy and figure out who liked who. When our parents wouldn’t get us a real pet we got a virtual one called Tamagotchi.

5. The Food

Nothing was better than the snacks our mom’s packed in our school lunches. We always had a Lunchable when the was no leftovers from dinner or mom didn’t want to make anything. We chewed Fruit Stripe Gum and gave ourselves tongue tattoos. We drank Bug Juice with confidence, ate a whole box of gushers in 10 minutes and killed our taste buds with Warheads.

6. Bill Nye

When your science teacher didn’t feel like talking during class, he/she rolled in a large television on a cart, shoved a tape into the VCR and you watched the best science guy to ever live.

7. Mr. Sketch and Gel Pens

The original way to get high in school was to smell Mr. Sketch markers, grape was the most avoided of them all. Then you had gel pens that you used to draw on your face, hands, and arms with, because they were pretty and was a loophole to the “no face paint” rule in school.

8. Glow in The Dark Stars

Admit it, we all had a hatred for the dark. To combat it, we had glow in the dark stars that we stuck on our ceilings and stared at for hours before falling asleep.

9. AOL Instant Messenger

Wanted to talk to your friends? Well you had to wait for half an hour before even fully signing in and were kicked off when the telephone rang. At least our usernames were pretty bomb and we had some crazy conversations.

10. Portable CD Players

We didn’t the iPod, we had CD players to play our music. Bad part? You could only listen to one artist at a time unless you were really cool and your mom bought you the “NOW That’s What I Call…” CDs.

11. The Music

We had the best throwback music from: Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears, Destiny’s Child, Eminem, and Spice Girls

12. The Autographed T-Shirt on the Last Day of School

On the last day of school you had EVERYONE sign your white t-shirt in case you never saw them again, even though it was 3 months until 6^th grade started.

13. Hot Wheels vs Barbie

The gender stereotyping was hardcore as kids. Your mom made sure you got the right toy in your McDonald’s Happy Meal or she was ticked.

14. The Dewey Decimal System

If you wanted to find a specific book to read, you logged onto the library computer, typed it in, and wrote down on a ripped piece of paper, the cataloged number then ran around the place looking for it.

15. The Dancing

We killed it at school dances whenever the dance songs came on and we still kill it. We knew and know every move to The Macarena, Electric Slide, Cotton Eye Joe, Cha Cha Slide, and Cupid Shuffle.

16. Goosebumps and Magic Treehouse

You learned how the read with one of these book series’. Then when the Goosebumps movies and shows started, we either purposefully scared the crap out of ourselves or we mind-f***ed ourselves.

17. Nintendo 64

Sonic the Hedgehog or Mario kept us busy until our parents called us for dinner or bed. Then when the system stopped working your caressed it and blew on the cartridges trying to save your game play.

18. Mufasa

The death of Mufasa was the worst thing to ever happen to a 90s kid. We didn’t expect it and when it happened we cried and got pretty angry at Disney. Mufasa’s death was traumatizing, but every time we watched it after that we still prayed he got back up.

19. The Original Disney

Disney was prime in the 90s. We had the best movies and shows to ever grace our televisions. Also, the commercials were way better with Mickey’s head being traced by a glitter wand by our favorite actors.

20. Lisa Frank

The original rainbow puke for girls. Everything was rainbows, kittens, puppies, makeup, and unicorns. We also used glitter gel pens or colored pencils only to make our coloring look as disgustingly pretty as possible.
