As the subject of endless rose-tinted memes over the years, there's nothing certain parts of social media enjoy more than reminiscing on being a 90s kid. Gen Z kids might enjoy borrowing some of its fashion, TV and music, but they will never understand the unique benefits and challenges of a which they often use for their grab bag of cultural references. What may have seemed like vintage novelties only a few short years ago could be considered bona fide relics by teens nowadays; or at least that's the theory proposed by Twitter user @aklingus.

If there's one thing that we can take away from everyone's responses to this tweet, we will probably never see the likes of the decade's creatively rampant consumerism again.
