A few years back, an internet trend started circulating about being a millennial, or a “90’s kid”. People would post photos of VCR’s, floppy disks, and screen-caps from favorite cartoons with captions like “only real 90’s kids will remember this”.
Millennials have been known to feel great nostalgia for the “good ol’ days”, even though most of us are below the age of 30. This widespread nostalgia among young people has become so predominant in our society that some have even deemed millennials the “nostalgia generation”. And they’re not wrong. We 90’s kids are about as nostalgic as they come, especially when it comes to the following list:
1. The Black Parade
Or any other punk song from our adolescence for that matter. Many of us have our favorite pop-punk and emo songs from middle school saved to iTunes. You may have outgrown the side-bangs and guy-liner, but when this 2006 song comes on, everyone sings along.
2. Wonderballs
Or Fruit Rollups, or Gushers, or any other distinctly 90's snack. These snacks tended to be violently colorful, full of sugar, and they really need to make a comeback.
3. Any Disney movie made in the 90's
We grew up with these classic films, so when movie night rolls around, its hard to say no to "Hercules" or "The Lion King"...
4. French Toast Crunch
Everyones favorite cereal recently made a comeback, and it was well worth the wait!
5. Tamagotchis
The most 90's toy ever invented, Tamagotchi was a HUGE deal. Keeping one alive was a struggle, but for some reason it was always so much fun. And if you didn't have a Tamagotchi, you looked forward to the days when your friends would ask you to "babysit" theirs...
