1990s Things We Will Never Do!

It's hard to believe that the start of the 90s is now more than 30 years ago but it's true. A lot has changed since that time and some may say that it was the last great decade before technology changed us. In this video we will take a look back at some 1990s things we will never do!

When the 90s rolled around it was still the 80s for a couple years yet, the big hair didn't go away overnight. '93-'94 is about when things started to crop up that we largely associate with the time, there's always a little bleed over from the previous decade.

I was in the parking lot after a Ratdog show (where I got a very short handshake meeting with Bob Weir and annoyed him by asking him to sign my ticket, which he did). One of the first Bonnaroo festivals was happening (Ratdog were playing it the next day) as well as a smaller GD related festival in Southeastern Missouri. Some traveling wooks had a big map out and were showing some others how to get there. Dunno why that sticks out but I can still picture it. Maybe because the guy with the map was supposed to sell me a small amount of pot and I was getting tired of waiting for him.

A walk down memory lane. I remember being dropped off at the mall and hanging out with friends in the Arcade. Those are also the days where they had $1 movie theatre's. I could never fully enjoy movies no matter what theatre I was at because stadium seating wasn't a thing back then. I could only hope that in a theatre packed full of people nobody who was tall would sit in front of me and that barely happened. I remember the sound of manual credit card machines. Don't know why I loved the sound of it so much. Cars had roll down windows. Coming home with the streetlights came on and watching "Tales from the Crypt" at night with my friends. Simpler time back then and I have a wealth of childhood memories. I have to watch some more of these videos!!

There were some inconveniences but overall I miss the 90s so much. It is a pity that my nephews were not born yet. Yes, I only have a few beanie babies and got a few cheap ones that I liked. I still have them to this day. Sadly they are not worth anything. However, they are a priceless memory to me. Thanks so much for sharing and making this video! I felt like I just got into a time machine and went back to the 90s. The feeling is indescribable.❤👍

You can say anything you want about "nostalgia" but the fact is that it connects people like nothing else.

I still have a brand new RCA VCR, and a 1996 Olympics limited edition Motorola flip phone. Lots of other cool retro stuff too.

[@BCbudzzz420]

This makes me tear up🥲...I definitely miss growing up in those times, life seemed simpler the spring and summer months also brighter ... family BBQs at the park or going to rent movies and games for the weekend .. Hanging out at the arcades or going to a friday night dance then to a beach party afterwards..now those things never happen anymore 😢.

I miss 90s mall & cheap movie nights, high school teens like myself would go to socialize & meet girls..just hangin' at the mall

I just watched this video with my 8 year old trying to explain to her the things in the video that I owned or did at the time during the 90's when I was a tween and teenager lol. It's so crazy that I have to explain these things when It used to be common knowledge, this makes me really feel my age and now I understand more than ever why my parents and grandparents would say often that life is short, before you know it you'll be my age!

[@mjallen1308]

I always have a fondness for the 80s, 90s and even early 2000s. Being a kid made EVERYTHING magical. Holidays were super special and having a big family made them even more so. You def know how to bring out the nostalgia my friend ☺️

Graduated high-school in 1994. What a crazy decade, i hated the music. 30 years ago....if Marty when back in time in his DeLorean today, it would be 1994. That just makes me feel old 😆 well 48 ain't that old. Cheers 🍻👍

[@lainiwakura1776]

Damn, it's like a cycle. I love 90s music because I was a kid then, and I have modern day music.

[@digitalfootballer9032]

90's music was a mixed bag. There was definitely a lot of crap but there were some great ones too. At the time I was obsessed with 311, and they were pretty good for their time but their music hasn't aged well. Almost all the he new stuff is garbage except for the synthwave stuff that sounds like music from the 80's, hence why it's good 😂

[@hiramlewis3873]

This was my favorite decade as a grown up with the 1970's was my best as a child. However I was born in the early 1960's and didn't understand anything. One of my first memories was seeing Teddy Kennedy cry at RFK's funeral in 1968. I can remember that because we moved into our New House then. I kinda remember Super Bowl 2 and 3 but the TV was in black and white with lots of static. The 1990's were awesome. I started making money in the early 1980's but in the 1990's I really start making money. I went out on dates and you know the rest about dating lol. The clothes were awesome. Omg, take me back. Since then, i lost Mom,Dad, 3 brothers and a sister. Only mom passed in the 1990's. The 2000's has been hard without my original family. Miss them so much😞

[@GoonSquadLifeMember]

Pagers were tools of Satan himself. The idea was to have one to keep in contact SHOULD an emergency arise. Guess what? Every routine page became an emergency. I had one in the late 1990s, no cell phones yet. My dispatch used to put "911" on the page very rarely. Within a month or 2, every message on my pager had 911 attached, as in "drop whatever you're doing and call me".

My dad just retired but he was a photographer and at one time co-owned a photo studio that did knock-off Glamour Shots. It was lucrative for a while but he saw its decline (as well as predicted digital photography) and sold his half of the business. I had one of those thermal reactive T- shirts and despite washing & drying it as instructed, the effect stopped working after a while. My tape-less digital answering machine had caller ID and I thought it was the coolest thing! Oh and I remember those Thomas Guide notebook map. You didn’t have to fold them and they were crucial for pizza delivery drivers, as they allowed one to find specific addresses as well as smaller streets and roads that you couldn’t find on big maps!

@@lizlucey3812 I remember when we were called Gen-Y. Most Millennials don't know what happened 2 days ago. Millennial has become a derogatory term and an insult, so I will always tell people I am Gen-Y. Besides, it's kind of stupid we went from Gen-X to Gen- Z and just skipped a letter.
