Remembering the 90s and 80s

Pretty sure most of the people in this thread are born after 2000. Even I was born in 1997 so I have no recollection of the 90s at all, only the early to mid 2000s.

I feel sorry for them, then. The 90s were an awesome decade to grow up in. :(

Anyone remember Goosebumps books? I had nightmares about some of them as a kid, but going back and reading some of them, they're pretty silly. :p
 
Transformers and He-Man. But they've already butchered those franchises. T-T
Also, there's been talks of bringing back Fragglerock and making it computer animated. That would be a big no-no. Stuff like Fragglerock and Muppets MUST have puppets.

Muppet Babies was animated, and it worked quite well... But if they made Fraggle Rock today they would completely ruin it.

The Muppet world without Jim Henson has sadly crumbled without him. I wish it were not so.

....sadness.........OK Can not end this post like this!!!

80s 90s that has not been mentioned in this thread:

- Bubble Tape (gum and commercials)
- My Buddy / Kid Sister commercials
- MTV before the Hills
- You Can't Do That On Television
- Mix Tapes / Mix CDs for your friends
 
I love the 90s... lots of good music and TV shows, also there was no internet so people actually spent more time with each other.
 
Little Bear, Franklin, Lloid in Space, Bear in the Big Blue house, ROlly Polly Olly, My littlest pet shop, THE LAND BEFORE TIME!! The big comfy couch omg I used to do the clock thing too! I used to take it SO seriously. I also had my own Molly... I ruined her by putting lipstick on her face lol! BOARD GAMES! and actually playing outside! Lunchables! ugh the list goes on!
 
I got a question for you all if you were able to go back in time to the 70s,80s,90s what kind of item would you bring back. But you are only allowed to bring back one item from one of those era.

Ah, good old VHS. My siblings and I would always get obsessed about one particular movie, and my mom would keep renting them until we wore out the tape. I'm surprised the shop even let her in after a while...
 
Yeah I was born in 1997 so I barely remember anything either though I have 3 older siblings who could remind me of things and then I'd be like "Oooooh yeeeeaaaah!" But I don't care enough to bother them.
 
renting VHS cassettes. idk if people still do it but that was the blast.

Remember going to the movie store with friends? And trying to pick something out that everyone wanted to see?

I'd bring back roller skating as a thing people of all ages would enjoy. While skating down the street with boom boxes 😄 J/k

Honestly, I'd bring back the 70s fashions. I never lived in the 70s but I adore disco fashion, bold makeup, and platform shoes. Seriously, I love platform heels - so much.

What would you bring back Applelicious?
 
I really wish I was born in the earlier 90's ( born in 1995) so all I remember is the early 2000's

I don't want to be 'that guy'... but The Beatles definitely weren't 90's. :)
And hey, nothing's to stop you from listening to that stuff now! Borrow your parents' CDs or listen to some oldies/classic rock radio stations and you'll pick up some favourites in no time! I like finding 'best of' compilations people have put on YouTube because, believe me, even The Beatles, Springsteen, Nirvana and The Who have a bunch of bad stuff, and music's meant to be fun :)

I was born in 1989 so missed a lot of good stuff, but it's never too late!
 
Bringing this back, I don't know if there has been a more recent version of this, but I just remembered something. Do you remember when everything had those little silicone "spikes" on them?

I remember having berets with them, earrings like these, pencil toppers like this... just tiny silicone spikes on everything. XD I think I even had a snap bracelets with these on them. OMFG.

I remember those. I had a lightbulb like that.

I remember the lightbulbs too. Which totally reminded me of all the stuff made of the see-through bead things that looked sparkly... I had this exact lamp and for some reason it got knocked over too many times or something and the bulb ended up melting through the little bead things and it smelled horrible.

there was an odd trend in my school last year that having pens like that was cool?
i'm a millennial child though.
