Just 90s Vibes: 30 Photos That Instantly Transport You Back in Time

It wasn't just the slap bracelets or the Dunkaroos. It wasn't even the fact that your mom let you eat neon-colored cereal while watching TGIF in pajamas that doubled as streetwear. The 90s had a vibe. A glorious, unfiltered, scrunchie-wrapped, Starter jacket-wearing vibe. And no, it's not just nostalgia lying to us through our Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers - life actually looked like this. The fashion was loud. The tech was chunky. The hair defied gravity and explanation. These 30 photos don't just show the 90s, they feel like the 90s. You can practically hear the dial-up tone humming softly in the background.

The Y2K aesthetic was pure chaos in the best way: shiny plastics, bold angles, fisheye lenses, wild makeup, spiky fonts, metallic everything.  So dust off your Tamagotchi, put on your best JNCOs, and get ready to time travel to a decade where everyone was vibing and nobody knew how to center a text document in Word.
