Remember those sweet summer days in the 90s. When it felt like it was light out forever, and you got so tired playing in the street with your friends that you almost wanted to come home before your curfew kicked in. those were the days of true freedom, unencumbered by constructs, digital world and social media sniping. We were free to be who we were and discover the world around us in whatever way seemed interesting to us.

And thanks to the lack of internet, it was not all too tough to be cool in your small circle of friends. Forever leaving us with the feeling that we were the coolest 90s kids, which is why we made this list of throwbacks, for you to reminisce about the good old days. And remember the things that made them great, the events that caused endless titters amongst your friends and the movies and toys that made us the cool cats we are today.

  • Only the coolest kids on the bloc had razor scooters back in the day. So in that sense having the so-called mark of the razor scooter (no matter how annoyingly painful), should be considered as a cool badge of honor if you really think about it. Not that we would recommend grabbing your kid’s scooter…

  • With a bit of retrospect on this timeless piece that truly was displayed in almost every household. One has to begin to wonder if they were genuinely that popular or if there was a factory somewhere that made too many of these and then sold them for cheap. Because they.were.everywhere!
