You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"





When we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy...

Before the Internet & text messaging...

Before Sidekicks & iPods...

Before MIKE JONES...

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX...

...Back when you put off the 5 hours of homework you had every night.

When light up sneakers were cool.

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs.

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing.

When we didn't have to dial area codes for local numbers.

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie.

When we called the radio station to request songs to hear off our walkmans.

When 2Pac and Biggie where alive.

When the Chicago Bulls were the best team ever.

Way back.

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

I actually met a woman on a bus the other day with a walkman. She said her iPod had broke or something.

nice list. I totally had forgotten about trapper keeper

and your right I couldn't resist singing the theme song to Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Wow, I hit nearly every one of those things. Freaking Gak.

Heh, the majority of them apply to the australian 90's kids too. Nice nostalgic post, should throw something in there about hypercolour shirts too, they were the best, until you put them in the wash :(

NIIiicee...brings back some good old memories...totally forgot about them slap on bracelets

Think the fresh prince still applies everytime.....In fact:
iiiin west Philadelphia born and raised,
on the playground is where I spent most of my days
chillin out, maxin, relaxing all cool,
and shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys who were up to no good
started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one lil fight and my mom got scared
and said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air

Agree with the hypercolour shirts....and also gotta mention something about Michael Jackson Thriller or wanting that red multi zipped jacket he wore

Nice list there mate. Although I'm from a different country, I can relate to most of what you have written which is quite funny thinking that we didn't have privileges like the net, or whatever, like we do these days.
