- The 1990s were a weird and wild time to be alive. The internet and personal computers were suddenly everywhere, jeans were ridiculously oversized, and there was a black market for cute floppy toys. But in all seriousness, the '90s were a great time to be young. From digital pocket pets to see-through devices, technology and pop culture came together to create some of the greatest distractions any kid could ever hope for. While it's hard to choose the best of the best from the decade that birthed the technological revolution, we've pulled together a list of '90s must-haves that were truly all that and a bag of chips. Without further ado, here are 20 things that every cool '90s kid couldn't live without.

It must sound so ridiculous to kids now but literally going out to get a film to watch for the night was like an event in itself. Heading out with friends to go to Blockbuster where you'd debate and argue over what to get for the evening. Then grabbing some food and drinks on the way back and settling down and committed to watch what you just paid for. Such good times.
Even though I was born in early 2005, I can totally relate. In my hometown there was a blockbuster up until 2013 and we went regularly to find some movies to watch. And even to this day, I'll go to the local library with friends to borrow some movies lol.
I’m 8 months pregnant and I’m planning on raising my baby like a 90s kid 👍🏼🤘🏼
Good luck
adrianA 😍😘
He or she unfortunately won't be having many friends then😢
The A.I voice in this video is WILD.
Can we go back to the 90s please? The world we now live in is TRASH!!!
exactly
The 90s were so cool I thought I grew up thinking I was born in the top era of humanity and things were going to be better and better in the future.
Movies and actors were cool (Titanic, Pulp fiction, Matrix, etc.), music was not like the 80s one but still very cool, the world was an healthy place where to live and we had the right amount of technology (no social media on top of everything else).
Also, nobody was obsessed with instant deliveries and instant everything as we are today.
Life is more expensive, to be cool god knows what you need to do nowadays…going back and be stuck in there would be the best thing one could ask.
Amen to that
Ditto..
I was born in 82 the 90s were great .
Smartphones killed the youth didnt they? If you grew up without a smartphone your life was a million times more enjoyable !
Yeah. I hope you realize how fucking lucky you are by the way. You might think that us 2000s kids like how society is but really nobody does. I would do anything to be born a few decades earlier.
@@gana7206 same man
Just imagine being born in the 50s. Actually getting to live life, see technology slowly advance as you age, seeing your country prosper. I wrote this comment and it got deleted so its not natural anymore. But I would do literally anything to be reborn as my dad or grandpa.
The nostalgia is real, I miss my 90's childhood. I remember all the things mentioned and more. In fact who remembers Pogs? Everyone and their mothers had some at sone point. Great era to be a kid, good times.
Discman came out in the 80s, and one could argue that the tech revolution was birthed in the 80s, or even back to 77
I was born on 10/23/90. I wouldn't trade it for anything except to be born in 1980, then I could be a teen in the 90s lol.
Don't man. You would have grown up faster.
I still have my Goosebumps books.
Reader beware, you're in for a scare!
Honorable mention - 3 disc changer desktop stereo with cassette deck and AM/FM radio
90s is the best because old was going and new was making entry, it was an amalgamation.
I was an 80s kid and a 90s teen. I got to experience the best of both decades. There will never be a time like them again i miss them so much wish i had a time machine to go back. Anyone have a delorean?
Man the 90s were so great
‘Played clothing, disKMAN.’
Tammygachi 😂
The backwards baseball cap was popularized by Ken Griffey Jr.
Can't believe you tried to give Fred durst props for that 🤦♂️
People love the 90s so much but don't realize that the 90s created what is going on today of technology replacing human interaction. All these things of social media and hi tech stuff was created in the 90s.
90s best times
I was a teen in the 90s ... Loved it, but i would rather go back to the 80s
I was born in 90's in India....and it is fascinating to see all the cultural differences ...
I mean obviously US was atleast couple of decades ahead of India ...it fascinates me how every trend reached India so late(although internet has become a leveler these days).
Life use to be so different !
It was fairly common to see Elementary school kids wearing Bart Simpson shirts, sometimes Middle School kids would wear them, but it wasn't something you would have seen the older students in Highschool wearing. That's not to say we didn't watch the show though because practically everyone watched it. It really wasn't until Family Guy came on in the early 00's when there was a real alternative in the adult cartoon genre.
I didn't have internet in the 90s.
Ohh..you missed out on that horrible noise it would make back then every time the computer had to dial up to get online. Even after it connected and stopped making that noise it was maybe 5% surfing the Internet and 95% waiting for the pages to load. We used to call it the WorldWideWait.
This damn video just kept getting better and better at the end. I feel so many of these things are instant nostalgia for me. Aol the huge ass paints ps1 see through phones. Shit kids these days wont understand what it took to run a 100ft phone cable under the house to have your own private phone line in your room at night lmfao
thank you for making this video and uploading it
Schools banned Pokémon when they first got popular in the U.S lol Now schools are probably happy when their students are doing Pokémon and not something terrible
Pogs is the first thing I thought of. They were huge when I was in school in the 90s. Also hacky sack.
I use to love playing with my pogs and eating hot 🔥 Cheetos on Saturdays.
I had the minidisk player when it first came out it was the coolest thing
I still owe blockbuster 😂😂
😮😅
This world we created is going to backfire on our children smh
born in 1983 i love me some 90s
There was no rotary phones in the 90s, but most cheap phones used pulse dialing instead of touch tone
I like Bart Simpson. There's a Bart Simpson Megadeth shirt where Bart Simpson is drying and floating.
What about POGS?
Still have mine
pogs and hacky sack were the first things I thought if. I graduated in 2001
Elizabeth Berkeley and Alicia Silverstone were a real treat in the 90s. Too bad both didn't blow up that much. Two hot babes.
If there's one thing that I'm shore everyone hated was AOL
To this day I've still never seen a magic eye
Same!!!
They are incredible. Try them.
I like cassettes and CDs personally. They're both good and the audio quality on cassettes can be real nice if it's a metal cassette with Dolby noise reduction. Or hell, it doesn't even have to be a metal one and if it is a metal one, it probably doesn't even need the noise reduction.
I didn't have tamagotchi and I had WinnerS shoes in black from italy in the 90s.
This video was clearly narrated by some discount bot that can't say things correctly...
90's were the best
Omg magic eye !!! Just stare at your reflection and picture appeared!!
I had 2 Yo Yo Balls in the 90s.
Never seen sun light playing resident evil... Yes that's me😂😂😂
I remember hating those apple computers back then so much. They always felt like a downgrade from an actual PC. My high school's library was filled with those pieces of crap. Still hate apple products to this day too...
I’m 37 and to this day today watching this video was the first time I’ve ever heard PLAID pronounced PLAYED.
YES YES YES I Used to first PlayStation forever wayback in late 90s and early 00s 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
We are getting old!!
finally got a good pause of the magic eye from mall rats. it is not a sailboat.
also, has the woman narrating ever spoken words before? tamagatchi irked me but i can forgive, despite sounding like my "south will rise again" grandmother saying it. but pronouncing plaid as "played"? just stop. learn how words sound please.
You're welcome today's children ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Parka jackets with a pro sports team logo.
I prefer Sega Genesis with The Punisher on it to a ps1. Dave Mustaine from Megadeth had a Genesis with a Punisher on it.
I could get the magic eyes thing pretty easy if I crossed my eyes and pulled it away. The image would be lsunk in instead of popping out though. I could do it the other way too my looking though the picture, but it was a lot harder for me to get
💯
My parents refused to pay for doc's so they got me a pair of military combat boots. They said they were more sturdy and woukd last linger since i was a punk and went to punk shows anf went in the pits. The first time i wore them i got so drunk i pissed on them. (Dont ask how lol).
No Bart Simpson or Doc Martin’s for me.. I was a hippie 90s chick!
The first thing on this list that he talked about was the CD player. I started laughing. I had one still in two thousand and nine until I learned about mp three players
I wanted a Sony discman in the 90s to listen to Megadeth. My cousin jerry talked into get me an rca one. rca sucks.
I was aware of the Wuzzles in that I had one episode on recorded VHS
My sister had a Tamagotchi
I had a Discman for years until I got my iPod Touch
My sister and I were _addicted_ to Beanie Babies and we still have them in our loft closet
I _love_ Magic Eye
plaid is pronounced plad
I only had a Yo-Yo Ball and barely used it.
I loved the AOL sounds. It sounded so futuristic.
I wanted a PlayStation because the controller was simpler than the N64's. I was addicted to Gran Turismo.
We didn't trust Blockbuster or Hollywood Video. We had our own small business video store.
I've used Windows computers since high school.
I had tons of Goosebumps books as a kid, although I remember nothing about them.
Life was already bad enough before 2020 due to technology but then COVID?! I think I might be living in hell.
I didn't have a chain wallet in the 90s. aol sucks, so does southwestern bell. I had AcNet in the 2000s, then in 2004 I had Roadrunner.
Disc man and cd player will music homework
I'll just take goosebumps and take my leave.
Also never heard Atari pronounced Atara until this video
discMAN
I wish I grew up in the 90s
Airwalk shoe
Blockbuster sucked and was slow. I didn't like rap for a long time. Now I like Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer and Aaliyah.
Can’t touch this!! 😳 😂 I liked that song when I was a kid.
@@kimberley8902 Go No Ninja Go Ninja Go.
You suck
6:17 Jewmin-gee. As my previous statement, she wasn’t born in the nineties to clearly understand how to pronounce these gems.
Either that or it’s just an ai voice
6:17 im sorry I don't mean to sound mean but... did she just say Joomangee?
Jumanji
Jumanji
She did😂
If u wonder why woman like bad boys...blame bart simpson lol

AIM 🙂
who's narrating these
AI voice overs are an epidemic.
This should be retitled “20 things the narrator can’t pronounce!!!!”
Is this an AI voice? The pronunciation is wrong on some things
This robot can’t pronounce anything right lol
I was born on January 10, 1980, and so I grew up in the 90s, and I always thought the 90s sucked. There was no social media in the 90s, there was no Netflix and streaming services in the 90s, internet worked like crap in the 90s, there was no smart phones in the 90s, not many good movies in the 90s, and video games are a lot better today than they were in the 90s.
I think today's world is a lot better than it was in the 1990s. I think the 1990s is very overrated.
@Conway Twitter What good movies were in the 90s? Also, the 90s weren't near as progressive as today's world is.
@@cks7548 toy story a bugs life lion king the nightmare before Christmas home alone space jam and more and the shows went crazy the toys were amazing
@@cks7548 and it was the start of PlayStation consuls
Implying progressive is a good thing?
The 90s were amazing and actually they were Cartoon Network nickelodeon PBS kids which came late in the 90s and boomerang they were famous toys good movies and good songs and consuls the 2000s and the 90s were the best decades
Why is this lady mispronouncing words so cringe
Played shirts
Is this another AI voice 😑
Yes
So many words mispronounced in this video. Decent list. Terrible editing
please learn to pronounce things correctly!!!
And does anyone here understand how to play minesweeper?
I'm upset that it and Solitaire aren't a part of Windows anymore. You have to buy them separate.
