The 90’s were really quite a decade for technological advancements and breakthroughs. It was the era when we launched the Hubble Space Telescope and when the World Wide Web became truly world-wide thanks to more affordable home computers and dial-up ISP’s. But maybe most importantly of all, it was when VCR’s reigned supreme – allowing us all to obsessively re-watch movies and tape our favorite shows, cementing pop culture in our brains in a way that was perhaps more thorough than what was available to any previous generation.
These days, anything and everything can be called up on a whim, but the impressions left by those 90’s influences still feel as big as they ever have. Come with us on a trip down memory lane with these 13 tributes to 90’s nostalgia.
13. Mama always said
“I just felt like runnin’.” – dads
12. Instant waiting
I met the lead singer of my favorite band and double exposed the pictures, I’m still mad about it.
11. Another era
Now we’re remembering things from another era that were about things from a previous era. This is going too far.
10. Genie in a bottle
This song is old enough to drink now.
9. Reject
That quarter is GONE, son.
8. Busted
Back when DVD’s were still crazy future tech.
7. Tangled
That slinky has slinked its last slunk.
6. Having a ball
These were more frustrating than fun. There, I said it.
5. Disk to the rescue!
Most floppy disks held less than 2mb. Theoretically, they could store about 5 seconds of a modern Netflix stream.
4. Rub it down
He’s more eraser now than pencil.
3. The terror

1. Thanks for the memory
That’s almost 30 seconds of modern video. Huge step up.
If I could go back, I wouldn’t because honestly streaming and GPS and all that are just too good to live without. But it sure is fun to remember…
