25 Things We Secretly Or Openly Miss From The '90s

Many polls conducted by major online and print media such as The Independent and Reader’s Digest among others have shown recently that even though we have greatly superior technology today, over fifty percent of the readers who participated in the polls apparently miss the more simple gadgets and glory days of analog technology of the ‘90s.

We need a national 90's day. All TV, Radio and Fashion must revert back for a full 24 hrs!

[XxVampireHeroAngelxX]

I miss waking up on Saturday mornings to watch cartoons. ;___;

[DayzieCat]

While I openly miss like 90% of this stuff, I have never, nor will I ever, miss dial-up internet! That screeching sound it made is burned into my brain, lol.

[matzpimp]

I miss how everything wasn't PC and how TV didn't suck

[tallicafan]

i miss the 90's and people not being on their cell phones all time... the simple days

[brainboy]

I actually miss NOT having a cell phone. Could ignore people if you wanted

[DeltaSniperZRR]

The 90s were way better then now, that's a fucking fact.

I hate the 2010's, the 90's were great, and the early to mid 2000's were fun too, but as soon as it got aroun 09', everything fell to utter shit. Everything sucks now.

And if you missed a show, you had to tape it with the vcr. We used to have a couple of video tapes dedicated to recordings. After tons of re-uses the picture quality got pretty bad

[ihswap]

Who else remembers the nostalgic mechanical sound that the VHS tape made as it slid into the VCR it kinda made some sort of beat. Or how about the little car shaped devices used to rewind the VHS tape.

[JeffTheHokie]

TLC was "The Learning Channel" . It consisted of good documentaries and college lectures. Now it is 100% crap.

[jeremypeele]

I miss playing in the creek and the woods all day till the sun went down. Carving sticks, playing I was a machine

[scholarlycat]

My teenage years were the 2010s. But I wish they had been the 90s. There was no drama or toxic social media or smartphones. Everyone seemed so friendly, social, and carefree. Such simple times.

If you wanna bring back the culture and music of the 90s into todays society, here are some of MY tips i believe will help us spawn an era like the nineties
-these are all optional of course.

1.Dress like the part: this means start wearing 90s gear normally which may spark a fashion trend and get other people along to start wearing what you wear. This includes popular 90s hairdos.

2.Get people you know that have musical talent and try to teach them how to any kind of music like the 90s.

3. Use 90s catch phrases like "psyche!" or "did i do that?" to get people to use it more.

4. Exclude most 2000s technology that you don't want in your life any more.

5. Bring popular nineties dance moves back like voguing, running man, and Kid N' Play from House Party.

6.Buy and/or create things from the 90s like beepers, Entertainment systems, games and even vehicles.

7. Teach your children about the 90s and/or live the lifestyle with them like if you were a parent raising a child in the 90s.

*I believe that if we do this we can usher in a new decade just like the 90s, because to be honest this decade sucks for the most part and I'm pretty sure you guys think so to. :(

I miss the 90s quality of clothing. T-shirts in the 90s where actually built and designed to last.

[carpo]

I miss the 90's...but the 80's kicked it's ass! ;)

[slipperyfish]

I was born in 2000, but I miss actually talking to people face to face instead of texting

[TimDaCorgi]

I miss cars that didnt require a crap load of technology. Blind spot monitoring? It's called watch your mirrors lane keep assist? Its called control your car

[constantreader]

I loved the 90s. Everything about it. I was born in 1980 but more remember the 90s than the 80s (minus some of the toys) but nothing NOTHING will beat growing up as a tween/teen in the 90s. NOTHING ❤️❤️❤️

[toplaycool]

80s and 90s were the best times to live. 2000s and 2010s suck.
