The 90s was a special time. The only other time in history when self-deprecation was as trendy as it is now was the 90s. We were the trailblazers of grunge, of self-loathing, and we created a culture teeming with apathy. Quite an indelible decade filled with a myriad of cultures. From pop music like Christina Aguilera and N'Sync, to bands like Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots, the 90s gave the messed up people of the day what they wanted and more. There's a fluid uniqueness even in fashion of the 90s. Cut off tanks, butterfly clips, and bhindi's were all the rage. Gwen Stefani of No Doubt was one of the first to take pink hair for an everyday look. 

The 90s will forever be immortalized in our hearts and minds through memories, mix CDs, and butterfly clips we'll never wear again. Arcade vending machines at pizza restaurants were out smart phones, and Tamagotchi's were our best friends. Enjoy these wonderfully nostalgic 90s memes for anyone who needs a nostalgia pick-me-up.

  • But as a child of the 90s, music will always be a critical source of comfort for me. Growing up in a time where music was truly appreciated, and people had to know the names of the artists and songs they listened to by virtue of literally listening.
