We all have a favorite decade. Maybe you're in an older generation, and you hark back to the 60s, the time of free love, or experimentation, and when rebellion was pacifist and cool. Maybe you're a disco gal, and you miss riding around under a disco ball while dancing. Maybe you miss all the big hair, the nascent electronic music, and wearing crazy colors for clothes. But there is one generation that is a favorite for many…and that's the 90s. The 90s really had it all. It didn't have traumatic war, it didn't have drafts or rebellion in a global way. The 90s version of rebellion was against oneself, it was a self-deprecating anthem of grunge music that we were all a part of. 

As a 90s baby, I obviously adore the 90s. The style, the fact that technology existed, but that it wasn't all encompassing in our lives. We still rode bicycles until all hours of the night when we were kids. We still watch cartoons on Saturday mornings. We still had imaginations to play games with friends and siblings, instead of being mentally sedated all day on our phones. It was a good time, enjoy these 90s memes.
