It was both simpler and yet more complex. Technology has made our lives more efficient, but at a cost. Life was slower back then, yet still packed with possibilities. Technology didn't invade every aspect of our lives and most of the technology in our lives was there to make our lives easier. Now technology has been designed to make our lives easier but also with less privacy. It's a big trade off that over time has long repercussions. The thing I miss most was the socializing. Personal relationships genuinely meant a lot more back then. People would take the time to spend literally all day just to play board games together with neighbors and friends. Barbeques and parties were common throughout the entire summer. Even if it was just cheep hot dogs, corn on the cob, and maybe some burger patties, people would get together almost every evening throughout the summer. It was that or sit inside and watch TV, if you had one. People in apartment buildings would even leave their doors open when they were at home, so that neighbors could just walk by and say hello, although this quickly became phased out even in the 90s, I still saw it enough to know it was still a common thing. In so many ways I miss it. I know it had it's major flaws, but it was truly a great time to have been alive. I'm glad I was a 90s kid
Yes I'm a 83 baby to I'm 40 now I grew up in inner-city and I think back how we was raised to now I go to my old neighborhood I don't see kids outside as much now days all kids have cellphones including my 13 yr old neice she does not go outside much either cause all the fun is in her hands I remember we played throw up tackle, sidelines kills, basketball riding bikes we was alot more active and also I miss the entertainment like fresh prince,90210 yes we watch that in hood lol martin, family matters,full house now days it's weird reality tv maybe I'm just getting old but life does not stay the same just have to appreciate your child hood and adapt
@@G2BryceThat’s got to be the best description I’ve seen to accurately describe it. Don’t get me wrong, I love being able to use navigation, pay bills, take pictures, etc. all on my phone, but you’re absolutely right, technology has also diminished our relationship with people and made us more rushed with little patience.
I was born in '83 as well. The '90's were something else. Every year there was something new. 1990 and 1999 looked like two different worlds, at least to me. Some people like to put the blame on Social media, but forget we had blogs.
i was born in 88 and grew up in the 90's, and one thing in this list hit me real hard. life was more simple. i miss AOL, going outside to hang out with friends, watching TGIF, watching my favorite cartoons at 7:30 AM on a saturday. life was good then.

What happened in the 80's? I grew up through the nineties, I wonder if an affinity or comfort with a decade is easy when you're born, toward one (as I interpret your username). I was 1987 so likewise, I do not know a lot about it
As someone who was born in the mid 1980s, I've always enjoyed that the 90s were the best of old and new. -Rotary phones, corded phones, and cell phones -Manual and automatic cars -Typewriters and computers -Cursive and plain handwriting -Pen pals and AOL instant messenger. -Etc, etc, etc
My stepdad just bought a used car. The guy he bought it from said a kid looked at it that morning. He said the kid got in it and asked him what the extra pedal was for. The man just told him that the car wasn’t for him. In that moment I realized I was old. Kids (most not all) old enough to drive and buy their own cars, have no idea what a manual transmission is. I still can’t drive one, have tried many times, but at least I know what it is! LOL
@@susanwright1931 the one vehicle I've tried it with was a 1987 Ford Ranger where the transmission was blown, so it had about half of second gear and that's it. Because of that, I'm not sure whether I suck at manual transmission, or if I'm amazing at it. Nobody else except for my buddy Nate could even drive the damn thing without stalling, but we could make it peel tire.
Born in '75. Really miss my skateboarding days and biking marathons. I wish my kids could experience the freedom of the outdoors like I did. The world has sadly become a dangerous place in numerous ways. Great video!
The thing is a lot of modern day technology, music, movies franchise, video game franchises, trends, fashion etc. got invented or took a foothold in the 90’s. It is hard to think of things that actually got invented in the 2020’s or 2010’s or even 2000’s. The 90’s were the last decade of great invention. Most things today have just been improved upon rehashes of yesteryear.
I'm 115 years old and remember the 90s with great fondness. Everything was enjoyable and I keep revisiting the movies, TV and music that I shared with my tiny cousins and nephews. As adults, we still love a bit of retrospective.
Born in 1988, I grew up in the '90's, and apparently a millennial. lol You are so right, Mike, the '90's really was the best decade; I was a kid then! From the fashion, to the music, the toys, the video games, the Disney movies, Nickelodeon, Pokémon, the list goes on! I had my long hair up in a ponytail with a scrunchie a lot of the time; played on my digital pet thing called a Giga Pet, similar to a Tamogotchi, a whole lot; had a ton of Beanie Babies and Polly Pockets; watched a lot of Disney movies numerous times(when you mentioned Disney movies and I saw the Lion King clips, you got Circle of Life stuck in my head! XD); was introduced to the whole Lisa Frank and Hello Kitty fads; saw my share of Nick shows at school before it started for the day(my home didn't have cable tv for much of the decade), shows like Doug, Aaahh Real Monsters, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, All That, The Amanda Show, and (ugh! gave me nightmares!) Beetlejuice; discovered Pokémon and _adored_ it, the cards, the show, and the video game; got introduced to computer games like Dig Dug, Pac Man, Solitaire, Minesweeper, 3D Pinball, Kid Pix, and others; discovered Robin Williams films and _adored_ them; played outside a lot more; got hooked on video games(well, watching them being played, mostly, aside from Pokémon) like Bomberman Hero, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, Gran Turismo, etc...; and so on and so forth... XD That was a nice trip down memory lane, dude! ^_^
I spent half of the 90s in high school and half in college. The last few years were on some of my first jobs as an adult, but I miss that decade. Especially grunge. Ah, the memories…didn’t appreciate it then, but I surely do now!
Was born in 2002 but I knew I would’ve loved the 90s. The music, the fashion, movies and TV, and the vibes of how people interacted. So many innovations in technology and research, 1994 gave us so many of the greatest movies ever, 1998 which was a legendary year for games, many of the most iconic albums and songs are from the 90s. Sometimes I wish I was my parents’ age just to experience how cool the 90s was! 😌
Loved this! I graduated high school in 1999. There's way too much to tell about my experiences, but I still find time on my time off from work to enjoy a lot of what I enjoyed back then.
Love this list!!! I am so grateful to have been a child of the 80s and teenager/adult of the 90s. The best part for me was the overall acceptance to be weird and be yourself.
I was born in 1980. The 90's were the best time in my life and I truly wish we could go back! I miss those days mostly because my Dad and oldest brother were still here.
I graduated high school in 98 and oh boy.Let me tell you.Those were the greatest times of my life! No internet, no smartphones you actually had to talk to girls. It was amazing.
Those were the best days! For my sister and me, it meant playing outside, socializing, and some of the best pop culture! Whether it was reading popular books (Babysitters Club for me, Goosebumps for her), or watching the best sitcoms (Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld) or some of the best cartoons (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain), it was the best time to be a kid or a teen. But those days don't last forever. Things are so different now. We'll still have the memories, though. By the way, I still enjoy watching some of these shows in reruns. Good thing we have DVDs!
I was born at the beginning of that wonderful decade and I was caught in the Canadian crazes that were popular during the time. I remember growing up playing with Furby, watching awesome TV shows and getting awesome Happy Meal toys from McDonalds. Also, I well remember the Disney Reneaissance era which I watched just about every musical from that decade. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Mulan and Tarzan were the movies that were released during that time. In fact, one of my favorite shows The Big Comfy Couch debuted in 1993 on YTV and it was a great Canadian show teaching us valuable lessons. Then, Arthur, Teletubbies and Blue's Clues came along on my radar and I was hooked to the TV screen. Even Caillou was interesting to me, even though that show was annoying to parents. Today, I don't even watch the new kids' shows because I'm often drawn to the nostalgia of the 90s. Also, we had kitchen parties and yes, celebrating class birthdays was a real thing. I even collected troll dolls and other collectible toys back in those days.
The 1990s was my favorite decade too. I had a dog for most of it and we went to numerous places to walk and explore. He loved to swim too, so many ponds, brooks and lakes were visited. It just seemed times were better then.
Oh man, the 90's were HUGE for me... my first trip to Disney World at 16, a trip to Spain, meeting and dating my now husband in high school, graduating high school, getting my driver's license, my first car, going to college, graduating college, getting our first apartment, getting married, and having my first child. What a packed decade!!
Off by ten years,the 1980s was the best decade! The decade gave us Mario,PacMan,Transformers,Thunder cats,TMNT,Indiana Jones,the NES,and Heavy Metal Rock.
Born in '63 but enjoyed the '90s having gen x friends and contemporarys. My wife and I were on a plane over Utah at midnight y2k. LAX was like a ghost town, but for our flight.
I'm thankful I grew up in the 90s. I really wish the the current generation could have what we did. Especially, the financial situation. Grunge Rock forever Mike
As a 20 year old in 92 in London, everything that is taken for granted now started in the 90s. The 20s 30s 50s 60s 70s 80 and 90s all had a specific individuality. In the years since NOTHING stands out as original , not music, fashion, art , political thought and practice, architecture. Nothing but fear and cynicism even the "me too" and "black lives matter" had origins in fear and abuse. I feel for the youth of today but I also despair of them. Stand up, fight back, shout louder. It's like whole generations have instinctively dumbed down.
Back in 1997 I was 12 my brother was 8. He looked like he was 5 or 6. My dad was a college professor. We were at a Christmas party held by the university. The MC said it was time for the Macarena. If you don’t know it, no worries we’ll teach you. My brother gets all excited and jumps on to the dance floor the size of a football field. Music starts and he starts dancing in the middle of the dance floor. The MC says to just watch him. Imagine a little kid alone dancing the Macarena. Slowly other people start joining him. Imagine if that happened today. Everyone would start recording it and it might have gone viral.
I can see the startling difference between today's movies and TV shows and those of the 1990s. The old movies and TV shows that came out in the 1990s were, and still are, WAY better than the ones we have out now. What a magical time the 1990s were!!!
I miss Orbits so much. I was a huge fan of them when they came out both due to their taste and the nerd cred that came with knowing how those little balls were suspended. But they were insanely expensive for the time. At $3.00-$5.00 a pop, depending on if you luckily found them at a grocery store, or stumbled across them at Busch Gardens, at a time when a one litre Coca-Cola was only 99¢, it was doomed to fail once the wow factor wore off.
I agree! The 90s was A BADASS DECADE! I'M a Generation Xer, and Mr Williams, music, and a simpler times REALLY ARE my Favorites! NOT TO MENTION, BOTH OF MY KIDS WERE BORN in the 90s😮
I was born in 85, My childhood was spent in the 1990’s and yes it was the best decade ever. Sometimes I wish I can go back to it cause my parents would be younger and healthier. The games I grew up with was Sonic the Hedgehog and Megaman, spending time with Family was everything cause we actually talked to each other and not on the phone. I still have my tote full of beanie babies. Favorite 90’s movies were The rescuers down under, the great mouse detective and Oliver and company . The best part of all of the 90’s for me and my friends was finding out that The King of Pop composed every single soundtrack to Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and that’s why that is the only game in the franchise is protected by copyrights.
The Noughy era...my era, yes. I miss this a lot. Hard to believe that it wasn't long ago either. Also I can't believe that the party decade sort of gave birth to this weird decade. Considering it was just a generation, the divide is quite huge. Yes, the last of everything, as we'll never do a lot of this stuff again.
When the new millenium came, me and my family didn't do squat. We watched the Variety Show like we did every year. I didn't even know about the end of the world thing until this video.
I married my high school sweetheart in May of 1990, so YES, this is our 34th Anniversary! We're going to WinStar in Oklahoma to stay in a free room and eat some pretty good food in the casino. I grew up in the 70's and 80's, so the 1990's don't hold a card's ass to those 20 years!
Although I'm a 90's kid but I personally feel late 70's & 80's kid had the maximum fun in their youth 👍be it in modern western countries 🔥 or in developing countries or in the Middleast east countries, can u belive it 😂😂😂 Life was simpler, people used to value friendships, religious extremism wasn't there much, world population was under control, Almost every single person was having the best time of their lives 🙌 I'm so jealous that I didn't born in late 60's or early 70's 😢 then I cud have had a ball enjoying my life to the fullest in 80's & early 90's 🙌🕺🕺🕺🎉🎉🎉🎉
As a Gen X'er yeah it was okay, but growing up w/ a constant threat of nuclear war wasn't all that fun. We had nuclear drills in school, (just like tornado, fire drills, now its active shooter drills) my highschool was a fallout shelter. They started of the news talking about the doomsday clock. The fashion, music and etc took our minds of total anialation but it was all was in the back of your mind. This caused my generation, gen X to miss trust and rebel against athority. This is why we don't care about politics the status quo or falling in line w/ everyone else. "We're gonna do our own thing and if you don't like it s***w you." Is the motto we live by. We didn't want to grow up and be like our parents or grandparents. We're the beginning of the counter-culture movement, that's why we're called the slacker generation.
@@deathscythehell7937 being laid-back, dont care attitude had negative impact for sure, I completely agree with you...But still people used to value friendships more I think, we had much more empathy towards each other back then as a human being, which we lack in modern times..Modern Men are either depressed & lonely or over dependent on women, this a fucked up situation to be in as a Man I guess. From that point of view being a nomad,hippie, free spirited guy 70's/80's & early 90's era was best for Men & Women, because it helped u grow mentally, it made u Discover a lot of unknown things avt life, which might have made u more peaceful & spiritual at the end 👍 Which I think is not possible in today's time for modern generation kids like the milenials, gen z gen y whatever lol Also I believe since the inception first world countries were fucked up geo politically anyways, but Ur generation won against the odds 👌 kudos to u guys! And as far as poor developing countries were concerned life was much simpler back then, people were not that complicated so it was fun,safe & mentally happier place to be in compared to modern times, especially in those countries capital,metro cities! Internet opened a lot of doors since early 2000 but it made us dumb,selfish, oversmart but insecure & over dependent on Virtual world 🙄 Now we 🌍👥 are on the verge of destruction thru AI & other tech shits 😡😡😡 Can U belive it 🤬 Thats why feel sorry for today's kids, they are drugged to virtual world, over dependent on internet, And they literally has no clue what the real world is & how humankind sud actually function ☹️ Somewhat feel blessed that I'm from pre ⚠️ internet era, born in 80's & enjoyed the whole 90's era as a grown up kid despite not having much financial support in the family 🙌 I'm still old school that way 😀 & gonna carry forward the same mentality for the rest of my lives 👍😁
I was born in 1988. I was there for Pokemon, Beast Wars, the X-Men, Batman, and Spider man cartoons, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast, Britney Spears, NSync vs Backstreet Boys, Fight Club, the Matrix, Toy Story, the Simpsons, Gangsta Rap, and of course Nu-metal.
I literally had to make a 90s room in my house because i miss it so much and when i want to escape the garbage fake world we live in today i just go in that room, pop in a vhs of wrestle mania ppv i taped back in the day, and life is good again.
My son is obsessed with electronics and the internet. I have him in cub scouts, soccer, and baseball. Outside is a magical place beyond anything the internet can give. All I have to say is Breaking up was easy in the 90s. I miss road trips with no GPS. Just trying to get lost on purpose. Being able to meet befriend and talk to random people. Thank you for this video. My class of 1995. Enough said.
the 90's were the last decade to have it's out style like the 80's 70's 60s and 50's did. that really started in the 50s as before young people just wore what their mum's and dads did. since the 90s every decade has been so similar to the one before
I like your point that before the fifties there was "men"s and "women"s clothes I think what you're phrasing differently than I am is that individualism has become massproduced
I was born 1991 and had the best time through school in the 90s. I had my birthday in school this year (I’m a teacher) and introduced the kids to loads of 90s tunes
Dont forget about road hockey and staying out until the street lights came on, parents made their kids go outside and stay out lol, I hardly see kids outside now
Born 1990 and i feel like a hybrid kid of both the 90s and early 2000s. I remember seeing lion king in theaters, i lived in Atlanta and when the bombing happened at the 96 Olympics we talked about it thr next day in class. I remember seeing Columbine on news, i watch Tyson bite holyfield ear with my father. I remember seeing everyone crowded around tv watching Jordan in his bulls uniform. I seen space jam at the movies. I went to new York in 99 and been inside the twin towers. I was also there summer of 01. I remember 9/11 happening on the news in my 6th grade science class
For those of us who were into PCs, the 90's were amazing! Each new computer was eons more powerful than the previous generation. You had the advent of mass adoption of 3D graphics, sound cards, CD/DVD ROMs, etc. PC games saw the creationof RPGs, first person shooters, and flight sims. It was the golden age of EA, LucasArts, Sierra, Origin, etc. You could geek out at Frys or MicroCenter. You had the early internet through AOL, BBS's, and web pages through Netscape Navigator. But our lives were still disconnected enough where the PC was more of an escape from reality rather than an essential part of our lives.
It wasn't the Fast Food industry's responsibility to Ensure you eat healthier. They can Give you options yes, but in the end, it's up to You whether You do it or not.
I loved Mr. Bean, Art Attack, Rugrats, Doug, Bananas In Pyjamas, Dexter's Laboratory, Blue's Clues, Hey Arnold!, Pokémon, Teletubbies, Bear In The Big Blue House, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, 64 Zoo Lane, SpongeBob Squarepants, Futurama and Little Bill ❤
I just HAD to have Orbitz. I bought two of them, - one to drink and the other to use as a decoration. It is still sitting in my kitchen and the little orbs are still floating.
I was born in 1992 and from time to time I feel strong nostalgia of the 1990s. Life was way simplier, free of social media and eating pizza in front of a movie was considered entarteinment by both kids and teenagers. I grew up watching movies from before I was born and the ones that came afterwards were masterpieces like Matrix, Titanic and Pulp Fiction. Music was also great and as an Italian I have to mention Blue da ba dee of the Eiffel 65, which everybody knows, a music that has a strong taste of the 1990s in it. For both kids and adults, it didn’t take much to be happy in those days because society and life were simplier and that is what I miss the most from those days.
Just Subbed! This video is amazing. I have been on such a nostalgia binge with the 90s lately and you hit the nail on the head with this... Thank you 🥹
@@PraveenSrJ01 she's got 3 months on me lol but if she don't know yet I'm sure she'd be interested in the series quiet on set about Nickelodeons dark side... HBO max
Most people think the 90's was so great because of the TV shows, movies, video games, music, and memorable fads, but it was sooooooo much more then that. All that stuff is only half of why it was so great, and you will always be able to go back and experience all of that. The other half was just living life in general back then, and you can't go back and experience any of it. It was a time before people had completely lost there minds. There was little to no extremism, people were not easily offended, not everything was racist and people weren't labeled as racists constantly, there was no social media, there were no smart phones, you didn't have people starring at their mobile phones all damn day and ignoring everything around them, more people could be found hanging out outside, and people were more social in real life. Lastly, I think we all have at least a couple family members or friends that were alive back then and are no longer, or perhaps they simply ended up moving very far away. We miss those people. The internet was also in it's infancy in the late 90's, and it was pretty freakin' cool! People under 30 may be wondering how it could be so cool when there was a lot less on it and the connection speed was a whole lot slower. Surely it's 10X better today, right? Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but it seems like in some ways it was better in the late 90's. I think a lot of it was the newness of it all, the fact that there were a whole lot less trolls, and a lot of nostalgia for certain websites that either no longer exist or are a lot different today. I was also in my tweens at the time, and I think we can all agree that everything you experience as a kid before your late teenage years is just....magical. I can't think of a better word for it. Everything is far more impressive, and the memories stick with you forever.

Born in 83. I have a special nostalgia for the 90s. I'm sure most anyone my age does, but it sure does seem it was a simpler time.
It was both simpler and yet more complex. Technology has made our lives more efficient, but at a cost. Life was slower back then, yet still packed with possibilities. Technology didn't invade every aspect of our lives and most of the technology in our lives was there to make our lives easier. Now technology has been designed to make our lives easier but also with less privacy. It's a big trade off that over time has long repercussions. The thing I miss most was the socializing. Personal relationships genuinely meant a lot more back then. People would take the time to spend literally all day just to play board games together with neighbors and friends.

Even if it was just cheep hot dogs, corn on the cob, and maybe some burger patties, people would get together almost every evening throughout the summer. It was that or sit inside and watch TV, if you had one.

life was good then.
You were 9 in the year 1997 or in the 4th grade. Really cool 🆒
born in 88 as well..... 90s was the best
Things dies down after 2010. The 1980-2006 thats when it was at its peak.
Agree.After 2010 everything started to go down quick.
Born in 78 the 90s will forever be remembered in my heart as so much better than today
Are you turning 46 this year?
Damn guys I wish I was already in my 40's like yall born in 90 and wish I could retire and leave the US already
I agree. Born in 78 as well. Gen x for life. The 80’s and 90’s were special. I miss it so much.
I’m turning 41 years old this October
I am from 1992 and feel the same.
I wish I was born earlier to have more of those days and less of everything that came after 2008.
The 1990's was probably the best time I ever had.
Amazing movies, comfortable clothes, cool toys, fantastic music which in my opinion will never be replaced.
People talked to each other.
We went to the mall just to hangout. We called friends on landline phones and would run to the phone when it rang because we didn't know who was calling
It was an awesome decade.
Thank you so much Mike for what you do.💯♥️.
great decade, but no 80s
What happened in the 80's?
I grew up through the nineties, I wonder if an affinity or comfort with a decade is easy when you're born, toward one (as I interpret your username). I was 1987 so likewise, I do not know a lot about it
I appreciate seeing a comfort with intellectual pursuit, but I'm not sure how subjective that might have been.
Mine were the aughts.
@@peterq1978the 80’s were not that great

Same here
Born 1987. 90s were the best
I'm Born In 1989, I Miss The 90's. 💯
I've born in '91! All the movies, all the glory, the mess we made in schooll!!
I was born in 1983 and my sister was born in 1986 and will turn 38 years old this June
The music, the movies, the innocence, flannel. All things I miss.
As someone who was born in the mid 1980s, I've always enjoyed that the 90s were the best of old and new.

My parents were married on January 22, 1982 which was 1 year 9 months before I was born.
Born in '75. Really miss my skateboarding days and biking marathons. I wish my kids could experience the freedom of the outdoors like I did. The world has sadly become a dangerous place in numerous ways. Great video!
Most people debate on the 80s-90s being the best, but one thing everyone can agree on is they were a hell of a lot better than the 2020s.
The thing is a lot of modern day technology, music, movies franchise, video game franchises, trends, fashion etc. got invented or took a foothold in the 90’s.
It is hard to think of things that actually got invented in the 2020’s or 2010’s or even 2000’s. The 90’s were the last decade of great invention. Most things today have just been improved upon rehashes of yesteryear.
The 90’s and early 2000’s were great times.
I wish I had a time machine to go back in 2002.
I'm 115 years old and remember the 90s with great fondness. Everything was enjoyable and I keep revisiting the movies, TV and music that I shared with my tiny cousins and nephews. As adults, we still love a bit of retrospective.
Oh wow 😳
dont believe him@@RosheenQuynh
if you were as old as you claim to be, I think you have more decade options than the 90s you would feel fond of, maybe the 50s or the 60s.
Robin Williams was one of the greats. I love hearing how he improvised a lot in his movies
I want to see a lot of movies a couple decades old, now,
I was born in the early 70s and i remember all this and i have to agree. I miss a lot of things from then
74, Gen X had the best teens/20's hitting the millennium at 26 was like waking up with the shittiest hangover.
I was born on 1990
Do you feel any nostalgia from the 80's?
80s best music best films 90s was the start of crappy music like boy groups that couldn’t play an instrument
Born in 1988, I grew up in the '90's, and apparently a millennial. lol You are so right, Mike, the '90's really was the best decade; I was a kid then! From the fashion, to the music, the toys, the video games, the Disney movies, Nickelodeon, Pokémon, the list goes on! I had my long hair up in a ponytail with a scrunchie a lot of the time; played on my digital pet thing called a Giga Pet, similar to a Tamogotchi, a whole lot; had a ton of Beanie Babies and Polly Pockets; watched a lot of Disney movies numerous times(when you mentioned Disney movies and I saw the Lion King clips, you got Circle of Life stuck in my head! XD); was introduced to the whole Lisa Frank and Hello Kitty fads; saw my share of Nick shows at school before it started for the day(my home didn't have cable tv for much of the decade), shows like Doug, Aaahh Real Monsters, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, All That, The Amanda Show, and (ugh! gave me nightmares!) Beetlejuice; discovered Pokémon and _adored_ it, the cards, the show, and the video game; got introduced to computer games like Dig Dug, Pac Man, Solitaire, Minesweeper, 3D Pinball, Kid Pix, and others; discovered Robin Williams films and _adored_ them; played outside a lot more; got hooked on video games(well, watching them being played, mostly, aside from Pokémon) like Bomberman Hero, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong 64, Mario Party 2, Mario Kart 64, Gran Turismo, etc...; and so on and so forth... XD That was a nice trip down memory lane, dude! ^_^
Born in 89 and I feel the same way! I feel like our generation got the last best childhoods.
I was born in the early 80s. While the 90s were fantastic, the 80s were even better
There’s darkness to the Amanda show 😢. I hope you didn’t watch Quiet on Set.
@@tbc9096born in 89 too!
I spent half of the 90s in high school and half in college. The last few years were on some of my first jobs as an adult, but I miss that decade. Especially grunge. Ah, the memories…didn’t appreciate it then, but I surely do now!
Same! I tell my husband all the time how I wish I had appreciated things back then.
The best list so far.
Wow, thanks!
god i miss the 90's
I definitely miss the 90s also
Was born in 2002 but I knew I would’ve loved the 90s. The music, the fashion, movies and TV, and the vibes of how people interacted. So many innovations in technology and research, 1994 gave us so many of the greatest movies ever, 1998 which was a legendary year for games, many of the most iconic albums and songs are from the 90s. Sometimes I wish I was my parents’ age just to experience how cool the 90s was! 😌
Proud to be born in 1989! The 90s were the highlight of my childhood and a simpler time i definitely missed.
Although I'm in my 50's, the 90's was one of the best era's of my life. I'd still put the 80's first(for me).
Definitely. I was born in the early 80s. While the 90s were great, thr 80s were something uniquely special.
Born in 1981, 90s were the best!!! Miss those days😢 best childhood ever!!
Same! lol
Virtually the same as well.. let's toast to graduating in 1999
🍻
Loved this! I graduated high school in 1999. There's way too much to tell about my experiences, but I still find time on my time off from work to enjoy a lot of what I enjoyed back then.
Same here,class of 99!!
It's amazing how you communicate your words you're the only TH-cam video I can actually sit and watch for hours
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
I miss 90’S
Love this list!!! I am so grateful to have been a child of the 80s and teenager/adult of the 90s. The best part for me was the overall acceptance to be weird and be yourself.
I was born in 1980. The 90's were the best time in my life and I truly wish we could go back! I miss those days mostly because my Dad and oldest brother were still here.
I graduated high school in 98 and oh boy.Let me tell you.Those were the greatest times of my life! No internet, no smartphones you actually had to talk to girls. It was amazing.
Those were the best days! For my sister and me, it meant playing outside, socializing, and some of the best pop culture! Whether it was reading popular books (Babysitters Club for me, Goosebumps for her), or watching the best sitcoms (Friends, Frasier, Seinfeld) or some of the best cartoons (Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain), it was the best time to be a kid or a teen. But those days don't last forever. Things are so different now. We'll still have the memories, though. By the way, I still enjoy watching some of these shows in reruns. Good thing we have DVDs!
I was born at the beginning of that wonderful decade and I was caught in the Canadian crazes that were popular during the time. I remember growing up playing with Furby, watching awesome TV shows and getting awesome Happy Meal toys from McDonalds. Also, I well remember the Disney Reneaissance era which I watched just about every musical from that decade. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Mulan and Tarzan were the movies that were released during that time. In fact, one of my favorite shows The Big Comfy Couch debuted in 1993 on YTV and it was a great Canadian show teaching us valuable lessons. Then, Arthur, Teletubbies and Blue's Clues came along on my radar and I was hooked to the TV screen. Even Caillou was interesting to me, even though that show was annoying to parents. Today, I don't even watch the new kids' shows because I'm often drawn to the nostalgia of the 90s. Also, we had kitchen parties and yes, celebrating class birthdays was a real thing. I even collected troll dolls and other collectible toys back in those days.
I thought the 80s lasted in Canada through the first 4 years of the 90s, or so Robin claimed.
The 1990s was my favorite decade too. I had a dog for most of it and we went to numerous places to walk and explore. He loved to swim too, so many ponds, brooks and lakes were visited. It just seemed times were better then.
Oh man, the 90's were HUGE for me... my first trip to Disney World at 16, a trip to Spain, meeting and dating my now husband in high school, graduating high school, getting my driver's license, my first car, going to college, graduating college, getting our first apartment, getting married, and having my first child. What a packed decade!!
especially the music...........The music industry around the world was so legendary
Off by ten years,the 1980s was the best decade! The decade gave us Mario,PacMan,Transformers,Thunder cats,TMNT,Indiana Jones,the NES,and Heavy Metal Rock.
U got a point
Born in '63 but enjoyed the '90s having gen x friends and contemporarys. My wife and I were on a plane over Utah at midnight y2k. LAX was like a ghost town, but for our flight.
Goosebumps. Are you afraid of the dark. Ah good times.
I'm thankful I grew up in the 90s. I really wish the the current generation could have what we did. Especially, the financial situation.
Grunge Rock forever Mike
As a 20 year old in 92 in London, everything that is taken for granted now started in the 90s.
The 20s 30s 50s 60s 70s 80 and 90s all had a specific individuality. In the years since NOTHING stands out as original , not music, fashion, art , political thought and practice, architecture.
Nothing but fear and cynicism even the "me too" and "black lives matter" had origins in fear and abuse.
I feel for the youth of today but I also despair of them.
Stand up, fight back, shout louder.
It's like whole generations have instinctively dumbed down.
All of these 90s videos and no one has mentioned "the box". Anyone remember what that was?
Yes, that's how I heard most of the music I listened to in the early 90's started out as Jukebox
Back in 1997 I was 12 my brother was 8. He looked like he was 5 or 6. My dad was a college professor. We were at a Christmas party held by the university. The MC said it was time for the Macarena. If you don’t know it, no worries we’ll teach you. My brother gets all excited and jumps on to the dance floor the size of a football field. Music starts and he starts dancing in the middle of the dance floor. The MC says to just watch him. Imagine a little kid alone dancing the Macarena. Slowly other people start joining him. Imagine if that happened today. Everyone would start recording it and it might have gone viral.
I love how laid-back the 90s wear. It was also a fun time going out and seeing live bands.
I loved the 90s, too! Also, I was a young adult, and the pop music was great 🇬🇧🎶❤️
List 25 is back, baby, yeah!
Share us with everyone. We've been back since September and people are still only just finding out
I can see the startling difference between today's movies and TV shows and those of the 1990s. The old movies and TV shows that came out in the 1990s were, and still are, WAY better than the ones we have out now. What a magical time the 1990s were!!!
Everything now is a remake of movies that came out then. So, even now people recognize the movies from the 90s was it!
Truth
Thanks Mike & team! You're doing a great job. Sharing
Thank you!
I miss Orbits so much. I was a huge fan of them when they came out both due to their taste and the nerd cred that came with knowing how those little balls were suspended. But they were insanely expensive for the time. At $3.00-$5.00 a pop, depending on if you luckily found them at a grocery store, or stumbled across them at Busch Gardens, at a time when a one litre Coca-Cola was only 99¢, it was doomed to fail once the wow factor wore off.
Thanks for the kind words about Gen X - I feel like we are the forgotten generation!
We ARE, Love! I was born in the year of the Dragon (76), and as. A. Fellow Generation Xer, we are
Good I miss the 90s - I’d give anything to go back
I agree! The 90s was A BADASS DECADE! I'M a Generation Xer, and Mr Williams, music, and a simpler times REALLY ARE my Favorites! NOT TO MENTION, BOTH OF MY KIDS WERE BORN in the 90s😮
I was born in 85, My childhood was spent in the 1990’s and yes it was the best decade ever. Sometimes I wish I can go back to it cause my parents would be younger and healthier. The games I grew up with was Sonic the Hedgehog and Megaman, spending time with Family was everything cause we actually talked to each other and not on the phone. I still have my tote full of beanie babies. Favorite 90’s movies were The rescuers down under, the great mouse detective and Oliver and company . The best part of all of the 90’s for me and my friends was finding out that The King of Pop composed every single soundtrack to Sonic the Hedgehog 3, and that’s why that is the only game in the franchise is protected by copyrights.
One day when they invent the time machine,people will go back to the past and live in those times.
I lived my best teen years in the late 90s that was the best decade
The drugs were way better in the 90s.
Not the weed though
Except the weed lol the acid was 🔥🔥
Hell yeah and not everyone was dropping dead
@@GotTheBestLigmaalthough for some reason the weed from yesterday seems better than a lot of dispensary weed here in my state. That’s sad
@@SmokeWithMeInCT maybe it's just the memories of how stoned we used to get back in the day
The Noughy era...my era, yes. I miss this a lot. Hard to believe that it wasn't long ago either. Also I can't believe that the party decade sort of gave birth to this weird decade. Considering it was just a generation, the divide is quite huge. Yes, the last of everything, as we'll never do a lot of this stuff again.
When the new millenium came, me and my family didn't do squat. We watched the Variety Show like we did every year. I didn't even know about the end of the world thing until this video.
I married my high school sweetheart in May of 1990, so YES, this is our 34th Anniversary! We're going to WinStar in Oklahoma to stay in a free room and eat some pretty good food in the casino. I grew up in the 70's and 80's, so the 1990's don't hold a card's ass to those 20 years!
Congrats!
In other words, 90's Disney was the Era where it was Good and wholesome, not this Gutter Trash we've got today.
I was born in 89 I really miss the 90s I had such a amazing childhood 👍
Although I'm a 90's kid but I personally feel late 70's & 80's kid had the maximum fun in their youth 👍be it in modern western countries 🔥 or in developing countries or in the Middleast east countries, can u belive it 😂😂😂 Life was simpler, people used to value friendships, religious extremism wasn't there much, world population was under control, Almost every single person was having the best time of their lives 🙌 I'm so jealous that I didn't born in late 60's or early 70's 😢 then I cud have had a ball enjoying my life to the fullest in 80's & early 90's 🙌🕺🕺🕺🎉🎉🎉🎉
As a Gen X'er yeah it was okay, but growing up w/ a constant threat of nuclear war wasn't all that fun. We had nuclear drills in school, (just like tornado, fire drills, now its active shooter drills) my highschool was a fallout shelter. They started of the news talking about the doomsday clock. The fashion, music and etc took our minds of total anialation but it was all was in the back of your mind.
This caused my generation, gen X to miss trust and rebel against athority. This is why we don't care about politics the status quo or falling in line w/ everyone else. "We're gonna do our own thing and if you don't like it s***w you." Is the motto we live by. We didn't want to grow up and be like our parents or grandparents. We're the beginning of the counter-culture movement, that's why we're called the slacker generation.
@@deathscythehell7937 being laid-back, dont care attitude had negative impact for sure, I completely agree with you...But still people used to value friendships more I think, we had much more empathy towards each other back then as a human being, which we lack in modern times..Modern Men are either depressed & lonely or over dependent on women, this a fucked up situation to be in as a Man I guess. From that point of view being a nomad,hippie, free spirited guy 70's/80's & early 90's era was best for Men & Women, because it helped u grow mentally, it made u Discover a lot of unknown things avt life, which might have made u more peaceful & spiritual at the end 👍 Which I think is not possible in today's time for modern generation kids like the milenials, gen z gen y whatever lol
Also I believe since the inception first world countries were fucked up geo politically anyways, but Ur generation won against the odds 👌 kudos to u guys! And as far as poor developing countries were concerned life was much simpler back then, people were not that complicated so it was fun,safe & mentally happier place to be in compared to modern times, especially in those countries capital,metro cities!
Internet opened a lot of doors since early 2000 but it made us dumb,selfish, oversmart but insecure & over dependent on Virtual world 🙄
Now we 🌍👥 are on the verge of destruction thru AI & other tech shits 😡😡😡 Can U belive it 🤬
Thats why feel sorry for today's kids, they are drugged to virtual world, over dependent on internet,
And they literally has no clue what the real world is & how humankind sud actually function ☹️
Somewhat feel blessed that I'm from pre ⚠️ internet era,
born in 80's & enjoyed the whole 90's era as a grown up kid despite not having much financial support in the family 🙌 I'm still old school that way 😀 & gonna carry forward the same mentality for the rest of my lives 👍😁
I was born in 1988. I was there for Pokemon, Beast Wars, the X-Men, Batman, and Spider man cartoons, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast, Britney Spears, NSync vs Backstreet Boys, Fight Club, the Matrix, Toy Story, the Simpsons, Gangsta Rap, and of course Nu-metal.
I literally had to make a 90s room in my house because i miss it so much and when i want to escape the garbage fake world we live in today i just go in that room, pop in a vhs of wrestle mania ppv i taped back in the day, and life is good again.
My son is obsessed with electronics and the internet. I have him in cub scouts, soccer, and baseball. Outside is a magical place beyond anything the internet can give.
All I have to say is Breaking up was easy in the 90s. I miss road trips with no GPS. Just trying to get lost on purpose.
Being able to meet befriend and talk to random people.
Thank you for this video. My class of 1995. Enough said.
One other thing I miss about the 90s; there wasn't so much sensitivity.
So damn true!
I knew something was going on with you guys…glad to see content from you guys again
Im glad i was born in 89! I need a time machine to back to the 90s , dont get me wrong technology is good but i'll always miss the 90s
Technology is too advanced in 2024 and therefore makes it dull
A+ video!
Thank you so much for making it, it was such a great decade.
I remember a lot of this. I was born in 1992
This is your best video yet!
the 90's were the last decade to have it's out style like the 80's 70's 60s and 50's did. that really started in the 50s as before young people just wore what their mum's and dads did. since the 90s every decade has been so similar to the one before
I like your point that before the fifties there was "men"s and "women"s clothes
I think what you're phrasing differently than I am is that individualism has become massproduced
I was born in 1989 I miss the 90s I remember my parents trying to get home blowing the car horn there were so many kids in the street playing outside!
I was born 1991 and had the best time through school in the 90s. I had my birthday in school this year (I’m a teacher) and introduced the kids to loads of 90s tunes
That’s cool but didn’t you only make it to like second or third grade before the 00’s?
@@jcwoodstl4th grade. Im also a 91er yet I remember so much from like 1993 onward. I was one of the youngest amongst all my cousins
I was born in 83 new jersey and the 80s and 90s are the best ever i appreciate my time i need nothing from today time they don't have anything here
As a 90s baby n growing up in the late 1990s he’s right I was having fun n it was great even thought I was little
Dont forget about road hockey and staying out until the street lights came on, parents made their kids go outside and stay out lol, I hardly see kids outside now
Rip Robin Williams may he rest in peace.😔
He was a gift to us all!
Born 1990 and i feel like a hybrid kid of both the 90s and early 2000s. I remember seeing lion king in theaters, i lived in Atlanta and when the bombing happened at the 96 Olympics we talked about it thr next day in class. I remember seeing Columbine on news, i watch Tyson bite holyfield ear with my father. I remember seeing everyone crowded around tv watching Jordan in his bulls uniform. I seen space jam at the movies. I went to new York in 99 and been inside the twin towers. I was also there summer of 01. I remember 9/11 happening on the news in my 6th grade science class
I was in college as a freshman in 9/11/2001
For those of us who were into PCs, the 90's were amazing! Each new computer was eons more powerful than the previous generation. You had the advent of mass adoption of 3D graphics, sound cards, CD/DVD ROMs, etc. PC games saw the creationof RPGs, first person shooters, and flight sims. It was the golden age of EA, LucasArts, Sierra, Origin, etc. You could geek out at Frys or MicroCenter. You had the early internet through AOL, BBS's, and web pages through Netscape Navigator. But our lives were still disconnected enough where the PC was more of an escape from reality rather than an essential part of our lives.
I need a time machine!
80’s baby here. If I could live perpetually in the 90’s I could die a happy man.
It wasn't the Fast Food industry's responsibility to Ensure you eat healthier. They can Give you options yes, but in the end, it's up to You whether You do it or not.
True. They're not going to shove Big Macs down people's throats.
The only thing I agree with on this list is Robin Williams listing, 5 4, and parts of 1 and you CAN NOT count MTV as your own.
I loved Mr. Bean, Art Attack, Rugrats, Doug, Bananas In Pyjamas, Dexter's Laboratory, Blue's Clues, Hey Arnold!, Pokémon, Teletubbies, Bear In The Big Blue House, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, 64 Zoo Lane, SpongeBob Squarepants, Futurama and Little Bill ❤
I was born in 86. I can say i had a really good childhood in the 90s. Riding my bike listening to my walkmans 😎
Fellow 86 here
I just HAD to have Orbitz. I bought two of them, - one to drink and the other to use as a decoration. It is still sitting in my kitchen and the little orbs are still floating.
I was born in 1992 and from time to time I feel strong nostalgia of the 1990s.
Life was way simplier, free of social media and eating pizza in front of a movie was considered entarteinment by both kids and teenagers.
I grew up watching movies from before I was born and the ones that came afterwards were masterpieces like Matrix, Titanic and Pulp Fiction.
Music was also great and as an Italian I have to mention Blue da ba dee of the Eiffel 65, which everybody knows, a music that has a strong taste of the 1990s in it.
For both kids and adults, it didn’t take much to be happy in those days because society and life were simplier and that is what I miss the most from those days.
Just Subbed! This video is amazing. I have been on such a nostalgia binge with the 90s lately and you hit the nail on the head with this... Thank you 🥹
What I love is that for the past few years, the 90s have become cool again! lol the nostalgia is real
Oh hi! LoL
If Beanie Babies were released today, they would absolutely be worth a fortune. Anything with any hype typically exceeds on the secondary market.
I Love 90's ❤
One of the best thing about the 90s was the X Files. 👽👻
Lion King was my favourite....and Musfua death gets me every time,
1986 born an think that was perfect.... little bit of the 80's an then BOOM the 90's 💪
Hell yeah '86 babies!

Most people think the 90's was so great because of the TV shows, movies, video games, music, and memorable fads, but it was sooooooo much more then that. All that stuff is only half of why it was so great, and you will always be able to go back and experience all of that. The other half was just living life in general back then, and you can't go back and experience any of it. It was a time before people had completely lost there minds. There was little to no extremism, people were not easily offended, not everything was racist and people weren't labeled as racists constantly, there was no social media, there were no smart phones, you didn't have people starring at their mobile phones all damn day and ignoring everything around them, more people could be found hanging out outside, and people were more social in real life. Lastly, I think we all have at least a couple family members or friends that were alive back then and are no longer, or perhaps they simply ended up moving very far away. We miss those people.
The internet was also in it's infancy in the late 90's, and it was pretty freakin' cool! People under 30 may be wondering how it could be so cool when there was a lot less on it and the connection speed was a whole lot slower. Surely it's 10X better today, right? Well, it's kind of hard to explain, but it seems like in some ways it was better in the late 90's. I think a lot of it was the newness of it all, the fact that there were a whole lot less trolls, and a lot of nostalgia for certain websites that either no longer exist or are a lot different today. I was also in my tweens at the time, and I think we can all agree that everything you experience as a kid before your late teenage years is just....magical. I can't think of a better word for it. Everything is far more impressive, and the memories stick with you forever.
The 90’s was a fantastic decade with so many important things happening in my life. So glad you are back too!

The way you spoke about Robin Williams started to make me cry. He was truly great and will be missed.
🇧🇷🇧🇷The 50ths , the 60ths and the 70ths were, far away , better than the 90ths.🇧🇷🇧🇷
