Calling All 90s Kids! These 15 Memes Will Give You An Instant Dose Of Nostalgia.

It’s hard to believe that the 1990s were over 20 years ago!

Those of us who grew up or lived through this decade remember life before the internet, a period of time that seems incredibly foreign to us now. Back in those days, we favored a very particular aesthetic (spaghetti strap dresses worn over a t-shirt, anyone?), and we somehow found ways to amuse ourselves before memes were even a thing. Thankfully, plenty of people recall those simpler times, and we’ve got the memes to prove it.

1. Remember how exciting it was to get your first discman? Then, the crushing disappointment when you discovered discmen skipped if you so much as looked at them funny?
