Which ‘90s struggle are YOU the happiest about never having to contend with? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Things 90's Kids Used to Do - th-cam.com/video/gRGSX7jNLtE/w-d-xo.html
@@trasegorsuch5140 Me too I still remember reading the booklets that came with CDs, enjoying the best kid show era since the 80s and 90s and playing educational CD Roms when I wasn't using the internet at home. I still know how to use a VHS and DVD player.
It was so obnoxious when you waited over an hour for a song to play and the DJ talked through the beginning of the song or cut off the song before the ending. I forget how long I sat by my radio to record the Speedracer mix song, but it was worth it!
I can still remember when video stores, VHS, and desktop computers were a thing. I’d always come home from school and do either one of those things and it was so much fun. Life was so much better before social media! I’d give anything to go back to those simpler days.
I remember a lot of people peddling doom and gloom theories about it, particularly misunderstanding some aspects of tech. Being in IT I was less worried: there were real issues and a lot of people spending years working to fix it before it became a problem.
My Family Threw a huge Party invited everyone and my parents said if the world ends at least we will go out with a bang. Every Adult was holding their breath when the clock struck 12 after it did they partied till sun up.
How about the struggle of missing an episode of your favorite show on cable TV and you have to wait in about an undisclosed amount of time for it to come as a rerun?
As someone born in 1991, I remember some of those things before the internet. One thing I would add is no mobile phones. Back when I was a kid, we had no possibility of contacting others and had to hope they were ok or if we were meeting up that they simply turn up. Nowadays that's impossible.
@@Compuclesmobile phones became more available in the mid 90-s, at least in Europe where companies Nokia and Ericsson were based. I remember my mom having one of these bulky Nokia ones (black, the size of half a brick with a little antenna on the top) in the later part of the decade and a couple of years after that my dad and my older sister had their own newer phones.
This is from me who was born in 1991, it was easy back in the day, kids don't stress about money, I both had hard working parental units one in farming business and the other in psychology
Great economy, the Cold War and Apartheid are over, no major U.S. wars, the Animation Renaissance (and not just Disney), the Internet as we know is introduced and blows up, fewer headaches at airports, the Cubs still sucked, why not?
@@CompuclesThe biggest improvement in my day-to-day life now compared to the '90s and earlier is more widespread, faster internet access. I do love me my internet access (but not social media so much, which I think itself is half responsible for the state of society today but that's another discussion so I digress.) But everything else? Nawww.
I was just a kid when most of these things became a thing of the past. It's weird knowing what they were but not actually remembering being around when they still existed
Going to a video store was one of the bestest times ever for me as a Kid 😁😁 it was always fun to go there and pick out any movie you wanted to watch on a Friday night or the weekend ❤️❤️Me and my family used to choose so many 😊
I used to love waiting for my photos to develop lol. Hoping that they turned out good and hoping that your little brother didn’t waste some of the film lol. Good times, I’m so glad I was born in the 80s, I would honestly hate to be a kid or teen in this social media generation. I used to have to call my mates on their landline or just walk round and call for them lol and then just play out in woods, climbing trees and falling out and hurting yourself, but then having a bad arse scar lol. I can honestly say that the 90s was the last great generation. 80s and 90s were best days of my life. Xxx
I was born in '85 so all of these were very familar to me. My internet time didn't start until 10pm when my phone time was finished. I also remember paying 4x my hourly wage to buy a cd and 2x my wage to rent a movie or video game for a weekend.
As A 90s kid I remember all of these and I managed to come through just fine I actually miss them so much when the world was simple and people had common sense especially our 90s kids youth I Loved Blockbuster 📼 and would love to have it back it’s just so nostalgic 🥹🥹
True but it seemed less complicated before the 90s for some reason. I think also because in the 90s technology was rapidly changing but it either was a situation of, wait for it....or it was too expensive.
@brianlipensky1722 strangely I think the opposite, that the generations after the previous have it easier because the previous generation walked a path so this one doesn't have to.
@brianlipensky1722 believe me, I understand. A lot of us GEN X people are taking jobs we are technically over qualified for because we don't have the degree or some certification or current knowledge
I remember my family didn't believe anything was going to happen during Y2K, but my brother-in-law’s family did, I can remember his mom and sisters stocking their basement with water and canned food, they even brought bottles of water over to my sister, and her husband’s house. Me and my other sister had a good laugh at them when nothing happened.
I can remember when ps1 came out and I had Spyro the dragon, crash bandicoot, croc and Lara Croft lol. I thought it was the best thing ever at the time, I think we all did lol. Me and my mates would play it on it at each others houses but we didn’t revolve our life’s around it like kids do these days, going online and playing games 24/7. X
I was a 90's kid. Remember, looking at the TV 📺 guide every week. I also remember video stores so many wonderful memories. I wish they were more still around.
We didn't rent movies very often even back then, because we just bought our favorite movies on VHS to watch whenever we wanted. We didn't have cable TV back then, so my siblings and I got a lot of mileage out of our VHS players.
Good thing i was born in the late 90's , so, i didn't have to endure all of these struggles. What a nice top this was, Rebecca, it made me travel back to my childhood. Have a happy tuesday morning and God bless you, take care and greetings from Colombia to you as well.
I’m a late 90s baby. I remembered the pay phones at Walmart. Plus taking a disposable camera to a printing place. The maps was a thing. We still had floppy disks and can burn cds.
I remember all of the stuff. I was in college in the early 2000s, and I remember switching from dial up to DSL modem. Thought I died and went to heaven. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
My fretful grandma on the Rez insisted I have a map book for navigating home after Google got me there harmlessly. For shits and giggles I followed the map and it took me on a TERRIFYING MOUNTAINSIDE ROAD WITH NO BARRIERS, which is my one big phobia after a wreck I'd been in. It was cool not having to lean on data, and seeing my progress along the paper, though.
Technology at the time was very limited so we had to constantly ask our parents what we are doing and where we are going. This was during the whole "Stranger danger era"
*69 when someone called and you either missed it and didn't know who they were or wanted to be nosey lol. Rotary phones I miss those my grandma had one and I loved the way you had to flick it around to dial numbers. Born in 88' true millennial and had to deal with all these. Along with waiting 20 minutes to an hour for a photo to upload on a website.
Having been born in '86, some of my strongest memories involve the stuff on this list. Really glad I don't have to deal with dial up nor having someone tape over my VHS anymore.
Lmao I remember some of these glad I was too young for a lot of these things. I just love the 90s-20s cartoons waking up early for just too watch them.
For me, my biggest struggle was "Dial-Up Internet". One thing not mentioned in the pick was that it jacked up the phone bill. Due to my mom's history with such, it was VERY hard to convince her to sign up with the new-at-the-time broadband connections.
I remember i had to stay at school late one day or my sister was gonna be possibly late getting me so she gave me her beeper so i then had to use the pay phone to call her and she told me shed get me in so long. It was so annoying! Its a blessing to have someone just text you to come outside.
I was a kid in the 90’s so I do understand all of these. My parents got rid of their landline in 2001. I still remember the phone number. Renting movies over the weekend was my number one. A friend of mine kept insisting that in Ricky Martin’s song Livin La Vida Loca he was saying push and shampoo you down. I told him it was push and pull you down. A friend of ours had the cd with the lyrics and brought it over to show him he was wrong. LOL
Y2k was real. I was a government employee in 1999 and I can say that we spent so much time and money to rewrite all the essential systems. The banking systems were the worse.
Doing research papers are mega easy now. I remember having to go to a library and borrowing books after books to get information about a certain topic. And I’m unlucky moments, the book you want has been rented out. The fact they have digital libraries now blows my mind. I graduated from high school when Floppy Discs were becoming less frequent and CDs were the new in. I went on limewire in high school to burn CDs and pray I didn’t accidentally downloaded a virus on my parents computer. I remember my brother ruined a bunch of my dad’s tapes by tangling the rope. It was impossible to get a pencil to reel it back together. My brother was a wittle baby still. I remember getting a Blackberry phone when I finally turned 15! That would have been the cool, but the keyboard slide was the new in and I just had to get one. I got an LG Slide that had its first full keyboard!! Faster to text. I had a ringtone of the song I recorded from the radio. Like in 2017, I blinked and BAMMMMM technology felt so new that I’m still tryna catch up. And it’s gotten more advanced since. I love how easy it is! Gen Alpha is going to be hella blessed with technology at their fingertips
I was born in the 1990s in general. I remember these things so well honestly like the phonebook part I remember like when I would call friends for example trying to find their phone numbers and then the next day I will go to school and ask for their number so I can have it on the same thing with the maps. Using your phone now makes it easier obviously I’m proud and thankful to be a 90s baby and honestly I am very happy that I still remember these things from time to time. I miss being born in the 90s.
When I was a kid, my dad used to get faxes, and I would answer the phone, and it would scream computer noise at me, and I would hang up, and then we'd got the fax.
My mum was saying that when she was younger, if someone was on the phone, they had to wait for that person to be off the phone plus you couldn’t go anywhere because it was attached to the wall.
Being born on New Year’s Eve, 1991, I can definitely relate with nearly all of these, except Y2K and waiting for the internet to dial up. Can’t remember the Y2K problem and we didn’t get internet until after 2000
I was born in 83 so I was around before Internet lol, I still remember the first computer my mom bought and it was super basic, you could either go on the Internet which was basically just the encyclopedia lol, or play 1 of 3 games, Mindcraft not Minecraft, solitaire, or paint which wasn't a game but passed the time😅 no Cell company or Cable Company for TV or Internet so these high school graduates from our town opened a small company called Small Bytes and we bought our Internet thru them the next town over. It was dial up of course, after a few years people started websites and even Yahoo search was a huge thing you could actually search for things instead of going thru a list of what topic you choose to search. Kids have no idea how easy they have things these days😂
I miss video stores so effing much. I hated the time stores I would go to went bankrupt because of streaming services. And so much more. I miss the 90s period.
Actually in Britain we had the Britanica Encyclopaedia, the first CD Rom encyclopaedia, the precursor to Wikipedia in the 90’s.. Was a life saver when doing research on the home computer..
I’m glad we can now play handheld gaming consoles in the dark because back then when we had our game boys once the lights were out so was our gaming time
Admittedly I was born in 95 so I can't 100% relate but I remember society transitioning from this to the modern equivalents. One I remember using was the paper map as late as 07-08
Ummm I feel like a lot of stuff still needs batteries. Not as much but it isn't as uncommon as your making it out to be 😂😂😂 Captain Picard is better then Kirk too! 😂
The thing I hated the most was resetting the clock because of dead batteries or daylight savings. What I hated the most was trying to figure out time on the clock. Match up the dashes for each minute and trying to remember what the minute hand was and what the hour hand was.
Lol, I can remember having to do a project for school and all I had was one book the teacher supplied. A only later did she realise none of us could do any research beyond that. The Library was closed for fumigation! and it would not be open till after the project was supposed to be in. Now I help my brother's 8 year old learn how to navigate the computer for quizes they have to complete for school using the computer. As for maps I still have a few old paper ones about. When you have no signal, you need them. Or like me it cost you back even in about 2010 to access the maps and mobile dater was crazy expensive. Even still now. Was cheaper to have a paper map. Also meant you learned the layout of the town, when doing things like deliveries or just general navigation to find things. Unlike these days, when many don't have thier phone telling them where to go, they have no clue how to get there.

Dial up internet
Have you ever considered doing a video on the greatest 90's Cartoon shows. Because I have a lot of fond memories from them.
Rolling up the windows in the Texas heat, man talk about painfully hot!
Video rentals. My household didn't get internet, much less one of those box computers, until 2005; when high-speed internet and PCs happened.
I didn't understand Y2K as a kid.
I still remember when the internet was connected to the phone, so you couldn’t call your house or make calls if you were using it
Dial up basically seemed troublesome
god, how did we surive😅
And the sound it made while connecting :😅😵💫
You couldn't sneak online because the sound woke up your parents
OH YEAH The AOL Days. When you could get anything and everything about Britney Spears that your heart desired. Anything else,not so much.
I was born in 1997, but grew up in the early 2000s. I totally get these ones. So it evokes lots of nostalgia.....
Same thing. Except I was born in ‘98.
I understand though I was born in 89 grew up in the 90s and my tween and teen life was the 2000s
Same, but '96 kid😅
Yeah I was born in 97 too 😊 definitely don't the ones that I can remember 🤣
@@trasegorsuch5140 Me too I still remember reading the booklets that came with CDs, enjoying the best kid show era since the 80s and 90s and playing educational CD Roms when I wasn't using the internet at home. I still know how to use a VHS and DVD player.
I was born in 1989 and I used to record songs I liked off the radio using lots of blank cassette tapes, providing the radio station wasn’t fuzzy lol
It was so obnoxious when you waited over an hour for a song to play and the DJ talked through the beginning of the song or cut off the song before the ending.
I forget how long I sat by my radio to record the Speedracer mix song, but it was worth it!
@TomGuy89 for some reason I don't remember that and somehow it sounds like something I did when I was a kid XD
(I as also born in 89)
I can still remember when video stores, VHS, and desktop computers were a thing. I’d always come home from school and do either one of those things and it was so much fun. Life was so much better before social media! I’d give anything to go back to those simpler days.
My childhood was going to the video store and wait for either a movie or video game to be there.
Man, the nostalgia of the 90s. 😊😊😊😊😊
IKR 😊
I miss those days!
It was great when the game you wanted was in, sad when it wasn't.
Don't forget the rushing to return the videos before your parents got charged late fees
Y2K = Year 2000.
The beginning of the 21st century.
Some people were literally paranoid about it.
I remember a lot of people peddling doom and gloom theories about it, particularly misunderstanding some aspects of tech.
Being in IT I was less worried: there were real issues and a lot of people spending years working to fix it before it became a problem.
SOME ?!?!?!!???
I got anxious after hearing about it in the 5th grade, my mom reassured me that all will be ok
My Family Threw a huge Party invited everyone and my parents said if the world ends at least we will go out with a bang. Every Adult was holding their breath when the clock struck 12 after it did they partied till sun up.
2000 was indeed the year of Y2K, but the 21st Century didn't technically begin until 2001.
How about the struggle of missing an episode of your favorite show on cable TV and you have to wait in about an undisclosed amount of time for it to come as a rerun?
That wasn't exclusive to cable. Network shows had the same problem.
This entire video should be shown to kids in every classroom today. Thank you @MsMojo for bringing me back to childhood
As someone born in 1991, I remember some of those things before the internet.
One thing I would add is no mobile phones. Back when I was a kid, we had no possibility of contacting others and had to hope they were ok or if we were meeting up that they simply turn up. Nowadays that's impossible.
1989 here and yes I remember the lot of this and then some
Psst, rewatch #1 on the video.
Besides, cell phones did exist back then. They just weren't very common.
@@Compuclesmobile phones became more available in the mid 90-s, at least in Europe where companies Nokia and Ericsson were based. I remember my mom having one of these bulky Nokia ones (black, the size of half a brick with a little antenna on the top) in the later part of the decade and a couple of years after that my dad and my older sister had their own newer phones.
This is from me who was born in 1991, it was easy back in the day, kids don't stress about money, I both had hard working parental units one in farming business and the other in psychology
I'd go back to the '90s in a heartbeat, all this stuff be damned.
Great economy, the Cold War and Apartheid are over, no major U.S. wars, the Animation Renaissance (and not just Disney), the Internet as we know is introduced and blows up, fewer headaches at airports, the Cubs still sucked, why not?
@@CompuclesThe biggest improvement in my day-to-day life now compared to the '90s and earlier is more widespread, faster internet access.

But everything else? Nawww.
I wasn’t a 90’s kid, but my kids were. I feel each of these examples intensely.
My mom still has her home phone. The number has been the same since 1991 so yes I still know my childhood number and call it 😆
I was just a kid when most of these things became a thing of the past. It's weird knowing what they were but not actually remembering being around when they still existed
I was born in '92 so I feel you
Alot of this lasted well into the early 2000s (2000-2005)
Ahhh the warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia 😊
I know right?
😉

We had a lot of those struggles in the 1980s also... and the 1970s.

You find out later in life that it's actually the opposite.
@brianlipensky1722 strangely I think the opposite, that the generations after the previous have it easier because the previous generation walked a path so this one doesn't have to.
Try being unemployed when you're over 50, and younger employers think you're obsolete, even for non technical jobs.
@brianlipensky1722 believe me, I understand. A lot of us GEN X people are taking jobs we are technically over qualified for because we don't have the degree or some certification or current knowledge
7:47 I still have the old Internet dial up sounds in my memory to this day.
STILL laughing at myself thinking Bad Moon On The Rise was Bathroom on the right...Could have TOTALLY used a lyric version for that song!
TV Guide also had a lot of good TV related articles back before the Internet became popular, especially the Season Preview issues.
Running back to the 90s
I definitely grew up in the 90s; I relate to all these!!
I remember all of these! It was such a simpler time.
I remember my family didn't believe anything was going to happen during Y2K, but my brother-in-law’s family did, I can remember his mom and sisters stocking their basement with water and canned food, they even brought bottles of water over to my sister, and her husband’s house. Me and my other sister had a good laugh at them when nothing happened.
Of course, most of these also apply to 30's through 80's kids, as well.
which ones apply to kids in the 30's?
@@bobalooloo02 Paper maps, doing research, and phone calls
@@Compucles so not most them then

Me and my mates would play it on it at each others houses but we didn’t revolve our life’s around it like kids do these days, going online and playing games 24/7. X
Little did you know that that particular generation of video games would generally age worse than anything other than the very first two generations.

Back in the 90's...
Reading a book for information was never a struggle for myself. reading a big book on many different historical events is a fun hobby I love to do.
I'm a '90s kid and the struggle is real haha!!!
You're not alone on that.
I remember all of the stuff. I was in college in the early 2000s, and I remember switching from dial up to DSL modem. Thought I died and went to heaven.

dial television sets! you had no remote in the late 80s and early 90s so you had to turn a dial on the top right of the screen XD
I remember returning books to the library through the shoot and the same thing with Blockbuster
The 90's were my childhood and I remember every single thing about it.
1:56 - Bagel 😂
Luckily Ace of Base did include lyrics in their jewel cases!
Lmao I remember some of these glad I was too young for a lot of these things. I just love the 90s-20s cartoons waking up early for just too watch them.
Putting in the VHS and needing to rewind the dame thing 😂.
Never thought I'd miss the 90's(the decade I was born in)......
Loved phonebooks, vhs and cds, land lines, and block buster. Oh portable cameras! Dont miss Dial up 😅

I’m happy about not having to limit getting or making calls to be at home and we can call or receive calls from anyone wherever we go
and all are true i remember these as i am a 90s kid
Rolling up and down windows...it wasn't that long ago I rented a car in another country and encountered that. Oh, the horror!
Batteries. They had, I had a charger that you would plug in, and charge your batteries.
Internet EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME why I'm THANKFULLY not living back in the 90s!
I was born in 2001, but I totally get and know about many of these struggles. Some I even faced in the 2010s believe it or not.
Same!(I was born in 2002)
You and me both brother! (Also born in 2001)
Y2k was real. I was a government employee in 1999 and I can say that we spent so much time and money to rewrite all the essential systems. The banking systems were the worse.
Most of us are fully aware of that. We were thankfully able to fix most of it in time and ultimately had very few problems from it.
Having to buy a whole CD just to get to listen to the one song you like
Tbh though I didn’t find any of these struggles really. We didn’t no any different lol xx
I miss rolling down the wkndow with handles

My mum was saying that when she was younger, if someone was on the phone, they had to wait for that person to be off the phone plus you couldn’t go anywhere because it was attached to the wall.
Being born on New Year’s Eve, 1991, I can definitely relate with nearly all of these, except Y2K and waiting for the internet to dial up. Can’t remember the Y2K problem and we didn’t get internet until after 2000
I HAD A TALK JUST LIKE THIS WITH A MATE OF MINE JUST THE OTHER DAY
I was born in 91, so I had to deal with ALL of these, but in all honesty, I kinda miss them. You don't know how much you liked something until it gone
*sighs*
One of my few favorite decades.
I remember all of these struggles back when I was a kid.
THE REWIND STRUGGLE WAS REAL THOUGH, IT'S WORSE WITH SIBLINGS
2:39 I actually had to do that once, not cause my dad was looking at a map, he was on this new medication and it gave him extreme narcolepsy.
I was born in 83 so I was around before Internet lol, I still remember the first computer my mom bought and it was super basic, you could either go on the Internet which was basically just the encyclopedia lol, or play 1 of 3 games, Mindcraft not Minecraft, solitaire, or paint which wasn't a game but passed the time😅 no Cell company or Cable Company for TV or Internet so these high school graduates from our town opened a small company called Small Bytes and we bought our Internet thru them the next town over. It was dial up of course, after a few years people started websites and even Yahoo search was a huge thing you could actually search for things instead of going thru a list of what topic you choose to search. Kids have no idea how easy they have things these days😂
I miss video stores so effing much. I hated the time stores I would go to went bankrupt because of streaming services.
And so much more. I miss the 90s period.
I don't miss rolling up the windows in the Texas heat, talk about painfully hot!
I'm a 00s kid and experienced some of the same things until 2010.
Getting concert tickets.
Now it’s way too easy to get concert tickets. Back then you camped in line for tickets or had a reliable buddy to do it.
But I miss these days though LOL...the good times
Actually in Britain we had the Britanica Encyclopaedia, the first CD Rom encyclopaedia, the precursor to Wikipedia in the 90’s.. Was a life saver when doing research on the home computer..
oh thank God, it was an Emily who did this
How come?
Because she doesn’t it all the time
I’m glad we can now play handheld gaming consoles in the dark because back then when we had our game boys once the lights were out so was our gaming time
Very very great list I like it a lot very very great job mis mojo one of my absolute favorite list ever 😊❤
When the teacher asigned a topic to use the encyclopedia to write a report on....and your topic had 1 paragraph, and your friend's topic had 10 pages
I miss tv guides i still use them sometimes tv guides magazines and newspapers eere lik the jntenet thr only source of info and nred
Admittedly I was born in 95 so I can't 100% relate but I remember society transitioning from this to the modern equivalents. One I remember using was the paper map as late as 07-08
You also had your own Internet time. You could just not use it any time. It was expensive to use so you had to use it during the cheap hours!
Ummm I feel like a lot of stuff still needs batteries. Not as much but it isn't as uncommon as your making it out to be 😂😂😂
Captain Picard is better then Kirk too! 😂
The thing I hated the most was resetting the clock because of dead batteries or daylight savings. What I hated the most was trying to figure out time on the clock. Match up the dashes for each minute and trying to remember what the minute hand was and what the hour hand was.
Today's kids will never know or understand the struggle like we do the real life the real world
I wasn’t born in the 90’s! I was born in late 2000’s and grew up in early 2010’s!
I was only a toddler and started school in the ‘90s. I was in kindergarten when the millennium turned.
Ah the video store. I could never get a video back to the store on time. Streaming services has saved me so much money.
Lol, I can remember having to do a project for school and all I had was one book the teacher supplied. A only later did she realise none of us could do any research beyond that. The Library was closed for fumigation! and it would not be open till after the project was supposed to be in. Now I help my brother's 8 year old learn how to navigate the computer for quizes they have to complete for school using the computer.
As for maps I still have a few old paper ones about. When you have no signal, you need them. Or like me it cost you back even in about 2010 to access the maps and mobile dater was crazy expensive. Even still now. Was cheaper to have a paper map. Also meant you learned the layout of the town, when doing things like deliveries or just general navigation to find things. Unlike these days, when many don't have thier phone telling them where to go, they have no clue how to get there.
I was born in 1999, so I don’t know much about these back then.
Oh God Almighty, this list makes me feels so freaking old! 😂
