  • It's hard to believe that the start of the 90s is now more than 30 years ago but it's true. A lot has changed since that time and some may say that it was the last great decade before technology changed us. In this video we will take a look back at some 1990s things we will never do!

      Smoking was banned in all of the malls I visited in the late 80s...so it was already gone by the 90s. But when did you ever drink in malls? I am assuming you are talking about alcohol, since you still can drink soda or coffee or whatever in malls now. Who the hell let you drink booze in a public place like a mall?

    When the 90s rolled around it was still the 80s for a couple years yet, the big hair didn't go away overnight. '93-'94 is about when things started to crop up that we largely associate with the time, there's always a little bleed over from the previous decade.

      Not only was college cheap but the competition to get into good schools was way less intense. I got into UC Berkeley in 1992 with a 3.5 GPA and a 1320 on my SATs. No sports. No clubs. No student government. No volunteer work. Couple AP classes. All I had was some glowing recommendations from a few teachers.

      June 2005 is probably the last time I saw someone use a map and show someone directions, and they were Deadheads. I was in the parking lot after a Ratdog show (where I got a very short handshake meeting with Bob Weir and annoyed him by asking him to sign my ticket, which he did). One of the first Bonnaroo festivals was happening (Ratdog were playing it the next day) as well as a smaller GD related festival in Southeastern Missouri. Some traveling wooks had a big map out and were showing some others how to get there. Dunno why that sticks out but I can still picture it. Maybe because the guy with the map was supposed to sell me a small amount of pot and I was getting tired of waiting for him.

    A walk down memory lane. I remember being dropped off at the mall and hanging out with friends in the Arcade. Those are also the days where they had $1 movie theatre's. I could never fully enjoy movies no matter what theatre I was at because stadium seating wasn't a thing back then. I could only hope that in a theatre packed full of people nobody who was tall would sit in front of me and that barely happened. I remember the sound of manual credit card machines. Don't know why I loved the sound of it so much. Cars had roll down windows. Coming home with the streetlights came on and watching "Tales from the Crypt" at night with my friends. Simpler time back then and I have a wealth of childhood memories. I have to watch some more of these videos!!

    Love this video but it just makes me so nostalgic. I am a 90s teenager and miss those days a lot. I miss renting videos, going to the mall, buying CDs, answering machines, and everything 90s. I still have my CD collection from the 90s and they are my treasure. I still remember pagers too. Yes, the year 2000 was a big fear for everyone.
    The net was still new to everyone and dial up was a pain. Our phone lines were always busy and my relatives would complain about how they can’t call my parents. There were some inconveniences but overall I miss the 90s so much. It is a pity that my nephews were not born yet.
    Yes, I only have a few beanie babies and got a few cheap ones that I liked. I still have them to this day. Sadly they are not worth anything. However, they are a priceless memory to me.

We had the internet, but still spent most of our time interacting with real people. You still had to back then. I ask myself if we're really better off now. In some ways yes as far as medical technology and internet, but IMO the 90sd was the last great generation, I loved the alternative grunge music scene, but that's gone forever too.

    Job searches were a nightmare, especially for us in rural areas. I would drive all day for several days going from business to business filling out applications in lobbies. If you were real lucky you could find a job in the classifieds section of the newspaper but even then, they would want you to go apply in person. Other option was the yellow pages, go down the list calling every business that might hire you of course then drive to every one that showed interest. My main issue was every city around me was long distance to call and that could get very expensive in a hurry!

I kinda remember Super Bowl 2 and 3 but the TV was in black and white with lots of static.
    The 1990's were awesome. I started making money in the early 1980's but in the 1990's I really start making money. I went out on dates and you know the rest about dating lol. The clothes were awesome. Omg, take me back. Since then, i lost Mom,Dad, 3 brothers and a sister. Only mom passed in the 1990's. The 2000's has been hard without my original family.

    Nobody is talking about the damn beepers everyone had? I finally got my first one (and only one) in '96. It had a lanyard and everything lol

      Only doctors and drug dealers had pagers.

      They were certainly popular. Especially the alpha numeric ones. Thank you for watching and sharing something else for us to remember. That's a good one!

      Pagers were tools of Satan himself. The idea was to have one to keep in contact SHOULD an emergency arise. Guess what? Every routine page became an emergency. I had one in the late 1990s, no cell phones yet. My dispatch used to put "911" on the page very rarely. Within a month or 2, every message on my pager had 911 attached, as in "drop whatever you're doing and call me".

    My dad just retired but he was a photographer and at one time co-owned a photo studio that did knock-off Glamour Shots. It was lucrative for a while but he saw its decline (as well as predicted digital photography) and sold his half of the business. I had one of those thermal reactive T- shirts and despite washing & drying it as instructed, the effect stopped working after a while. My tape-less digital answering machine had caller ID and I thought it was the coolest thing! Oh and I remember those Thomas Guide notebook map. You didn’t have to fold them and they were crucial for pizza delivery drivers, as they allowed one to find specific addresses as well as smaller streets and roads that you couldn’t find on big maps!

      Agreed. Looking back now, we had a pretty sweet time to grow up in.
