But as a child of the 90s, music will always be a huge source of comfort for me. When I was growing up, it was 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 actually listening. These days, these streaming services, although incredible tools, can actually work against respect for music or the artist. In a world where playlists are curated by AI, where you can just click on one song in an anthology instead of listening from beginning to end, it creates a disturbing dystopia of what's missing from music today.

The 90s will forever be immortalized in our hearts through memories, mix CDs, old crimp irons we'll never use again, temporary butterfly tattoos from pizza arcade vending machines, and Tamagotchi's. As a 90s kid myself, I grew up on all the indelible Disney princess movies, and I can still sing all the songs. Lisa Frank made going back to school cool, and the lack of smart phones afforded us the skillset of socializing and bicycle riding.
