My favorite pop culture from the 90's were TV shows (especially cartoons from Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network), music, movies and video games.

[@trinaq]

Probably all of the classic 90's Disney animated films, or 90's TV shows like Friends or Seinfeld.

[@mrvincentjackson]

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman." I was born in 1985 and I still remember that lol.

[@mistybenjamin9009]

Hanson. I fell in love with Hanson. I'm still a Hanson fan.

[@Bangchanis500]

The 90s was an excellent time period. It sure feels nostalgic looking back at it now.

[@darkstarmoonshadow8892]

Epically Nostalgic

[@thecunninlynguist]

glad to be born in the 80's and live the 80/90's life...before the internet really got big...before the evil of Social media. Much simpler times...

[@jaclynsanture6643]

i was born in 1985 and Yes the 80s and 90s were so simple back then i miss it

[@JennyAmponsah]

Couldn’t agree more! We really had it so good!

[@brepoole6669]

Absolutely! When "look it up" had a completely different meaning!!!!

[@rosemadder5547]

And here you are commenting making yourself part of social media 😂 does that make you evil? I remember pretty awful things in the 90’s that easily rival the “evils” of social media. Social media is only evil when evil people use it for evil gains and to spread evil. There were evil people in the 90’s. It’s no different. The only real difference is you were young and so life seemed better. The world has barely changed over the past hundred years. What’s changed is your perspective as you’ve become an adult. In my opinion lol people that grew up before TV said it about TV and movies. People that grew up without Elvis said Elvis was literally satanic. People that grew up without radio said radio programs rot your mind and radio was evil 🙄 These things aren’t evil, life just had less apparent evil when you were a kid. Social Media is evil is an absolutely ridiculous statement. Social media is not an entity at all without the same type of humans that have always existed commenting on it.

[@SnowWolf90]

Yeah I was just a little baby man in the 90s... By that I mean I was born in 1990... But it's still nostalgic

Agreed, I barely remember the 90's, but thanks to growing up with TV shows and movies from the era, I feel like I've lived it!

[@thelthrythquezada8397]

What parts of the 90's became part of your childhood?

[@MarissaFloro]

Oh gosh! The 90s were soo good. So many classics. They are so hard to top. Like Clueless! Are you for real?? It's absolutely one of my favorite movies of all time. Animated wise: Mulan is hands down. 💜🖤💜 I know there are other movies just as great but these are the top two that come to mind. The whole AS-IF era with I'll make a man out of you is just so iconic. Omg i remember y2k. Everyone was freaking out about that. AND NOTHING HAPPENED. Lol

[@bennymora3086]

I may have not grown up in the 1990s, but it sure looked great for people to be in that decade!💿

[@darkstarmoonshadow8892]

I was born in the mid 90s, but there was so much going on from movies, to cartoons, and anime. Damn, I miss the 90s.

Blockbuster, AOL, Friends, grunge rock, Pizza Hut Book-It club, too many movies to count or list, the GREATEST music decade ever........damn, what a decade.

[@brepoole6669]

You know it!!!! So much fun to take this trip down memory lane! I remember rocking my overalls and being dumped because I didn't look like Alicia Silverstone!!! I wish my kid could spend a year living like I did back when I was her age so she could grasp what the world was before every kid from 4-18 wanted to be a "you-tuber"!!!! When "look it up" meant find the right encyclopedia not say "hey siri" and have the answer in .5 seconds!!! Have a spectacular day fellow 90's fan!!!

[@zacharywhitaker3955]

This is so helpful. I was basically raised in a cult so I have no context for 99% of the cultural touchstones of my childhood. Things like this help give me some context for what was going on in the world around me.

I really like how you guys did this. Every other compilation video just piles all the videos together and lets it play. I like that there's someone introducing each section so it doesn't just feel like one giant list..

[@davidbiagi2932]

Man, the 90s were so damn awesome. Will never be a decade anywhere close to it.

[@mistybenjamin9009]

Ah... The good old days. All I had to worry about was school.

[@Venquine_R]

I was born at the start of this amazing decade and I still *love* a lot of things that became what they are today back then. To make matters even greater (or funnier, depending on how you want to look at it) I actually have the Windows 95 maze installed on my computer. I can double click it like a program and it plays itself for as long as I feel like watching. So relaxing when I come home from a stressful day at work or something.

[@matthewbaduria]

My favorite pop culture from the 90's were tv shows (especally USA Network),movies,music and board games.

Mariah’s music was the music of the 90s! 🎉

[@rwwilson21]

another great about the 90's was it bled into the early 2000s. so, if you were a 90's kid it went with you as you became a teenager. Think about it: in the early 2000s 90's kids as teenagers had the prime music of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, and Eminem, Shows like House, Gilmore Girls, lost, The O.C., Arrested Development, punk'd, the prime of American Idol, TRL, the spring break specials. Sports we had things like Boston ending the curse of the bambino, Kobe dropping 81, Tigers famous masters shot on the 16th hole, and The Super Bowl giants helmet catch. as for technology we had the iPod, the iPad, the iPhone. social media: we had myspace, KZbin, Facebook. when it comes to the 90's, it wasn't just great to be a kid to be 90's but it was great to be a teenager in the early 2000s.

[@brepoole6669]

You must be the same age as me! You just described my high school experiences and all the things that were necessary in the good old days!!! To go back and appreciate it all over again would be incredible!!

Watching this was a gigantic chunk of nostalgia for me! Being born in 1989... I obviously grew up in the '90s... So I spent this list going oh my God I remember that! Seriously... I think I only saw one thing that I was not aware of. That witches movie. After watching the small clip you showed... I'm okay with that. To be honest... The makeup and everything looks gross... I don't know how I would have felt about it as a kid. However 30 or 4-year-old me just went ew! Are you sure they weren't just trying to gross people out? Lol. Now it's time to talk about my beloved are you afraid of the dark. I've always been a horror girl... So of course my young eyes were glued to the TV. There was one episode of are you afraid of the dark... It was just creepy on a whole different level. I loved it! It was and still is so creepy to me... In fact as I watch as an adult... I think to myself wow! They took us there on a TV show that's labeled y7? They sure did. Just went and looked it up... In case anyone's interested. It's called The tale of the dream girl. Have you seen it? Did you see it as a kid? Did you feel like it was a bit more creepy than the typical are you afraid of the dark episode? I'd love to hear thoughts. Thanks again for putting this video together! 👍🏻💕
