Hey there, lovers of nostalgia. Everyone adores the 90s. Let's just face the facts about it. Who can deny the wonders of Nickelodeon, butterfly clips, nirvana, beanie babies, dial-up internet, or the memorable Lisa Frank folders we would buy before going back to school after summer break. The wonders of the 90s will remain in our souls forever, a kind of cemetery of history, of society, of a way of life that will never ever be born again. 


I miss the 90s on a day-to-day basis, and I'm not afraid to admit it. The 90s still felt earthly and innocent. These days, kids are growing up more corrupted than your local dictator. The internet has done more damage than good, and I always wish we could go back in time. Here's to better days and an era when everything felt right. When you're in a loop of grieving for the 90s, listen to bands like Goo Goo Dolls, Nirvana, Beck, or No Doubt. It's bound to get you in a better mood.
