We know that sometimes you feel really old while talking about your childhood during the 1990s; you feel like the younger generations are looking at you in the same way that you looked at older people talking about the 1940s when you were a child. But there's one huge difference - your childhood was awesome! You see, back in the early 20th century life kinda sucked; everyone was poor, there was no entertainment and you had to boil your food before you ate it. However, the late 20th century was very close to what we have now, just less... soulless.

Back in the '90s, we had cell phones, computer games, tons of great movies, TV shows, and music—all the good stuff, just before big corporations got their grubby hands on everything and made it… homogeneous. So, as you go through this collection of '90s nostalgia, remember that you shouldn't feel like you're old—you should feel like you are a pioneer.
