Everyone who's a 90s girl looks back on these simpler times with rose colored glasses. "In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine," said Czech author Milan Kundera. Even if there were teeming downsides to the innocent glow of the 90s, we look back on it with fond memories that we never want to forget. 

These days kids all have their own iphone, tablet, or what have you. Growing up, my family of four shared one computer and it was in my parent's bedroom! Talk about no privacy. It's insane to look back and imagine myself texting on AIM after school at the shared computer. Or playing video games like Roller Coaster Tycoon, or Reader Rabbit. I remember dressing up as Blossom from The Powerpuff Girls at least once for Halloween. And who could forget the notorious Lisa Frank folders and notebooks we all had going into the new school year. 

Regardless of what year you were born, everyone seems to love the 90s. Even the recent Gen Zers are sporting 90s fashion in obvious envy. So scroll down memory lane with these hilarious 90s memes!

  • I so MISS 90s clothing! I look back at old photos of myself from 5-10 years old, and my parents sure did know how to style me. From adorable Tinkerbell shirts, to matching plaid skirts and shirts, to Dalmatian lined sweaters, I was really pulling off some cool fits. Overalls and a beanie, I mean what's more 90s than that?

  • I can't believe I'm seeing this photo of the computer games…what a throwback. I remember having CD computer games. I loved playing Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, Reader Rabbit, Roller Coaster Tycoon, the list just goes on and on. I also have an unhealthy addiction to AIM, like we all did.
