Spice Girls Fashion
Baby doll dresses, S&M gear, the resurgence of the platform shoe, knee socks, track suits...we could go on forever. Some of the worst fashion trends in the 1990s can be sourced back to the Spice Girls.
Cosmo Kramer
The original hipster.
Boomboxes
I don't need an iPod because I still have my BOOMBOX.
Beverly Hills, 90210
You loved to hate Brenda, didn't you?
Lilith Fair
Sarah McLachlan, we will thank you forever for your mezzo-soprano vocal range and for co-founding this female-only showcase.
Sagging Pants
The 1990s: a decade when no man's underwear was contained to his pants.
Anime
The Western world embraced anime so hard in the 1990s. Gotta catch 'em all, guys.

When Starbucks took over the world.

The filthiest comedian, who starred in a family television show and hosted the always wholesome America's Funniest Home Videos.

The greatest sports team EVER!!!
Beanie Babies
When people thought bean-stuffed animals would be worth thousands of dollars.

Tanya Harding: The 1990's resident b****.
Butterfly Clips
We know you rocked these accessories, arbitrarily arranged in the bird's nest that was your hair.
Real World
When television took its darkest turn.
Nirvana
Seattle grunge scene. 'Nough said.
Fabio Lanzoni
The cover of every romance novel from the 1990s.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Iiiiiiiiiiin West Philadelphia, born and raised...
Witches
This generation has vampires, but anyone who grew up in the 1990s knows that our supernatural obsession was witches. Just ask Neve Campbell or all those girls at your high school who wore large five-pointed stars.
Macarena
If you don't remember this dance you should hang your head in shame. Oooooooh, Macarena.
Lisa Frank
If your trapper keeper wasn't decorated with celestial whales and rainbow rabbits, we're sorry. You probably had a rough middle school experience.
Tamagotchi
No matter what age you were, we bet you had your very own virtual pet. And then you forgot to feed and nurture it, and it died, and you buried that irritating keychain at the bottom of your sock drawer.
Lip Liner
Women of the 1990s seemed universally dissatisfied with the boundaries of their lips. Who could forget Naomi Campbell's darkly lined pout?
Pogs
Slam' em!
Thomas Kinkade
Tommy K. made his big bucks in the 1990s, and we bet a lot of dinner table conversations revolved around the hated/beloved Painter of Light.

Moms everywhere cried after their daughter told them to talk to the hand.
Zima
A party was not a '90s party without copious amounts of Zima.
Mom Jeans
"Mom jeans fit Mom just the way she likes it."

Remember when you found out the Hansons weren't three girls?

Who understands those rap guys?
Scrunchies
