5 Great Aspects Of Growing Up In The 90s

The 90s are back! Well no, not really. However it seems that most of the styles of the 90s TV shows are being revamped and brought into our modern times. We have all seen the Twitter trends, "You know you're a 90s baby if..." or "Only 90s kids will understand..." Why is that? Aside from the fact that the 90s were time of pure awesomeness, it was also a great time of change. So in honor of this new, not-so-newfound craze "the 90s," here are five great things about growing up in the 90s!

1. The music.


The 90s were known for an array of music from grunge and pop to hip-hop and rap. MTV, before it consisted of bad reality shows and stories of people getting catfished, it actually played music. Bands like 311, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Backstreet Boys, and The Spice Girls redefined what music was and how fans reacted to music.

2. The TV shows.


There was nothing like the television shows from the 90s. From Nickelodeon's "Rugrats" and "Doug," Disney channel original movies, to sitcoms like "Friends," it seemed like there was no better time for television than in the 90s. The shows of the 90s reminded us to have fun, enjoy our youth, and that there is something powerful about sending important messages through television.

3. The clothes.

The baggy style of the 90s clothes made it iconic. You couldn't decide whether your style fit more of a DJ Tanner type of look or Cher's from "Clueless." It was a time where denim outfits were not only acceptable to wear, but encouraged and admired. Whether it was baggy shirts, baggy pants or a combination of the two, you could never go wrong.

4. The TV game shows.


There was nothing more exciting than turning on the TV and watching "Guts," "Double Dare 2000," or even "Legends of the Hidden Temple." Kids from all over wanted to be on these gameshows participating in the games. You are lying if you didn't practice the trivia while the contestants were playing. These gameshows made any kid feel like they could be the one to win the awesome prizes (like the newest bike or game boy that was available at the time).

5. The treats.

Snack time was never better than when you would whip out a Wonderball (you 90s kids know what I'm talking about), or a pack of Dunkaroos (the choice of chocolate or vanilla was very serious and could make or break friendships). Not only did you have delicious treats to munch on, but all of a sudden everyone wanted to be your friend.

If you were lucky enough to live in the 90s, you got to experience some pretty awesome trends.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
