    I miss the culture of appointment TV and how everyone would get so excited about a show being on when they get home or rushing to school to talk about how last night’s episode went!

    I think we've entered the decade of 90s nostalgia

    I was an '80s kid, but what I miss most from the '90s is the innocence of living in a pre-9/11 world. No hyper partisan BS, no "war on terror", and 24-hour news was still in its infancy. It was a simpler time.
  • A part of me wants to tear up: I'm now 38 years old, just went to my 20 year high school reunion, and this list has me missing my teen years in the mid to late 90s. I also miss Wolfe Wolfenstein on Windows 95 and 98.

    I miss video rental stores. 😭😭😭 I wish I was born a decade earlier so I could've worked at one. I could talk about movies all day.
  • I kind of miss the rental shops, but what a concept in retrospect. Impractical, expensive, and severely limited… but as you said, going to the shop with the family or friends or before a date was something special, and is now nostalgia.
  • The reason Y2K was no big deal was that many people worked very hard behind the scenes to make it that way.
  • I remember the countdown to the new year in 1999 and I was 9 years old and there was a huge new years party at my house and when we got down to "1" my older brother shut the electricity off and everyone in my house started screaming and I was balling my eyes out cuz I thought the world was ending!! Lmao I was so traumatized by that!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣💯

    I didn’t pay bills, rent, pay for my clothes or my food! I miss the 90s😂😭😭
  • @leeks1408
    I didn’t realize how much I loved and missed the Maze screensaver until y’all mentioned it-I loved that thing!!!

    Gaming magazines (EGM, Gamepro, Tips and Tricks, etc) aren't on shelves anymore. Shocking that this was overlooked from this entire list and was a huge deal for 90s gamers. Lucky me, I still have two baskets full of them, and will possibly put them on eBay for auction for a sweet, hefty price
  • I miss the era of VHS and Audio Cassettes. The excitement of being able to watch and listen to the latest movies and music after a long wait. And of course, their beautifully designed covers containing all the information of the movies and albums.
  • @thekingskid
    You forgot about Encarta encyclopedia. I remember spending a lot of time using it for research to write school papers.
  • @njtheradical
    I was born in 2003, but I can definitely say that the 90s seemed like a somewhat blissful decade.
  • I'm missing the big box PC games, especially from RTS games. Speaking of RTS games, they were more common in the 90's as well. I don't miss the AOL CDs floating the mailbox though (although that was more of a problem for my parents rather than me).
  • It's weird but the other day I was thinking how I miss the ease of recalling years and decades by their name. Like '76 or the '90's. Now it's all 2000's or 20-10's it just doesn't flow the same way off the tongue
