90's & Millennial Nostalgia Iceberg Explained 

Help a boomer out with a like and subscribe!

Nostalgia is such a powerful feeling that even the suggestion of nostalgia is works with people who weren't even born yet.

AOL was the catalyst to many arguments in my household. Wether someone was trying to call the house phone for hours but were met with a busy tone or someone picked up the house phone, and kicked you off. The computer would start making noises, everything would slow down, you at that point knew what was coming and are yelling “WHO PICKED UP THE PHONE?!?!,” all the doors would start closing on aim and finally the daunting “goodbye.”

The X files theme scared me as a kid! Now my partner and I are watching the series together for the first time. It gives me these little hits of nostalgia just seeing how dated everything in the show is.

Part 2 please. or other decades.

This video just hits different 💛 -Est. 89

The new Space Jam movie doesn’t even exist to me and I’m far from the only one who feels that way💯

So glad I grew up before Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, smartphones, pc culture, mumble rap etc etc..

I came very close to crying at this, thank you so fucking much from a fellow elder millenial.

As a previous commenter said, I thought this video had many more views than it actually has! Great video. I think times were simpler because of a mix of our innocence and because we weren't as connected to everything and everyone all the time. We didn't know about all the problems in the world all the time or saw people talking about their issues everywhere on the internet! It was simpler in a "I don't worry about as much" way to me.

I wasn't born in the 90s, but I known all of these Early 2000s kids, where y'all at

Me: A millennial (xennial) who still navigates everywhere by memory or by writing shit down. It's not that bad, honestly.

A+ video! LOVE IT! This is a classic video!

This is my childhood in a RU-vid video.

It's funny you mention the flood of notifications on our phones now, because back in the day I remember obsessively checking if someone had replied to a message despite watching a movie or playing a game while messaging them. Puberty plus the early internet made us obsess over weird things that now we'd love to disappear from, ok maybe just mute while I'm fighting a boss in Elden Ring.

I searched up iceberg and clicked on this video not realizing this only had 90 views, I thought it would've had 100K minimum.

The edgy 14-year-old in me can't give up South Park.

You're so slept on, love your vids

I’m a 90s. Kid. I really want to go back.

i never knew about "the true story of the 3 little pigs", but i practically memorized "the stinky cheese man (and other fairly stupid tales)"

I was born in 97' and while that technically makes me Gen Z I feel nostalgic for Millennial stuff and Gen Z stuff. 😃

Blockbuster, movie rental stores, video rental stores, arcades, 16 bit games, mixtapes, The Oregon Trail, Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego, X-Files, KB Toys, Bubble Tape, Big League Chew, Jock Jams, Now That's What I Call Music, Where's Waldo, TGIF, Netflix by mail, The True Story of the Little Little Pigs, The Stinky Cheese Man and other Fairly Stupid Tales, Yikes Pencils, Pizza Hut Cups...along with Dance Halls, Pool Halls, Diners, Drive-Ins, Pinball Arcades, and Fixing up vehicles will all make a comeback.

I've been looking for an iceberg dedicated to the 90s forever lol

The pog in Latin America was called Tazos and you can find them in Frito Lay chips. So even do I wasn't there I got so curious to the point that I wanted the Los Caballeros del zodiaco Tazos collection with the chip bag and with the binder until I found one on eBay being expensive.

I knew troll dolls had been around for a long time but I didn’t know that had been around since 1959 The main thing people remember about the original troll dolls is the way they smelled You could close your eyes and someone put a troll doll up to your nose and you would know exactly what it was just from the smell💯

Will Smith is more of a Generation X. Most Millennial were toddlers or in early and middle years of grade school which most didn’t watch Fresh Prince on syndication. Maybe on reruns! (Laughing) Here’s another objective point of view: As you may know, it was in syndication until 1996 and when viewed after syndication it doesn’t count as part of their generation because even Gen Z could have viewed it after 2001. Right?

I loved watching blockbuster rentals at my grandmothers house. She had a rewinder machine that required the push of a button while you continued to watch tv. Also, miss pogs. Especially my beloved Apollo 13 pogs from Long John Silvers

With the technology thing, it depends if you were one of those pseudo millennials that was born in the 80s or one that was born in the 90s. If you were born in the 90s, you grew up with the internet almost always being a part of life. The importance varied, but it was almost always there. Same thing with mobile phones. Honestly, grouping people born in the 80s and 90s is really inaccurate. They should both be considered their own generation.

I have to do it, M 21 6f2 NYC. I miss those chat rooms.

I'm a 2000's kid

Oh wow, I completely forgot about the Stinky Cheese Man!

So we’re all just gonna forget discovery zone was a thing

So as much as I love this video I’m def an X-llenial not a xennial we were a cross from Gen-x and millennial but yes as a millennial you missed a lot of what we experienced 1985 baby!! Great vid tho

Video rental stores would actually charge people for not rewinding the tape because so many didn’t💯

Life was simpler back then because we were kids and we didn't care about a lot of things in life we just want to have fun and enjoy what we had I really enjoyed your segment you really brought me back to my childhood so I had the time period to go to that's where I will go to me and you had a lot of things in common I did a lot of those things too in the 90s

To your ending question it was both

Amazing video!

I absolutely needed this!!!! 🤘😭

The malls entry is interesting to me because here in the UK the towns and cities I've lived in/visited all have had very popular shopping centres. I can't speak for the US because I've never been but the stereotype there is that malls are large buildings constructed for that purpose and kind of expect to draw everyone to it even if its far away from existing commercial zones, while in the UK they seem to be built within the commercial hub of a town or city and serve more like an indoor street than a separate building. I mean I'll be honest, between my hometown and the town I studied in there were about 5 shopping centres and you could definitely see a lot of empty lots in them, but that's also true of external shops, lots of physical stores are shutting due to the ever-increasing use of ecommerce and the monopolisation by certain companies trying to sell everything to everyone... but I still see shopping centres here being that sort of hub that you described even to this day.

Not gonna lie when I heard you got mail I got a little excited...

8:29 completely. I remember there were stickers that had her and other female pop stars of the time my friends and I used to get from Pizza Hut and yeahhhh, those "feelings" were something else lmao

Especially when they talk about nostalgia on RU-vid.

I love how most of these things would apply to 2000s as well if you lived in former eastern block. So even though I'm technically early zoomer (1997), I recognize most of these things from my childhood instead of more modern things.

I'm a gen z who likes nostalgia are big fan of millennial and gen z nostalgia

The 90s: The Last Great Decade

Eletronics boutique still exists as Eb Games

When cell phones first came out they looked like cordless phones then eventually cordless phones started looking like cell phones FACTS😂

Was totally caught off guard by OJ Simpson visual when you were speaking about transit from analog to digital. Was there a reference that I missed? 😂

5:56 My dad tought back then that Beavis and Butt-head is the startingpoint of world falling apart. XD How far we come since!!...

I’m wanna laugh right now because I saw South Park 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I didn’t expect THAT to be on here

Weird you say you were too young to properly remember Muppet Babies yet you remember enough about the internet in the 90s. I didn't start to use the internet until the 2000s, but remember Muppet Babies, Carmen Sandiego, recording radio songs. Also, I thought Care Bears was an 80s cartoon.

"You have died of Dysentery"

I definitely had a balancing bird toy but I ended up having to throw it away because one of the weights came out of it somehow I still don’t know how because it wasn’t broken I went to play with it one day and one of the weight was just gone🤔🙄😒

being born in 1996 i dont know anything about 90s at all

Lol I had a crush on sporty spice. Posh had a conspiracy that she was a man in the 90s I remember wondering watching the movie😆 by the way the movie was good lol

I made it to silly putty... get me my walker and change my depends...

Earbuds were around when walkmans were new but they weren’t wireless and most people didn’t have them The only pair I ever had came with my original Gameboy and I hated them because you always have to clean earwax off of them The biggest reason I’ve only had one pair in my life💯

Lemme say something as a musician of over 20 years Hanson was a band if young boys but they were not a boy band they were and are talented musicians that played instruments and wrote they're own songs the music was way different too thank you and peace out..nice video tho for sure

Ah...the Tom Green Sbow, it's not the green Tom show, it was his fav o rite show, because it was his show itsthetomgreenshow.

I hated Power Rangers when all my friends thought they were cool because the fights looked fake as hell💯

Good job, brethren.

nah nah see AOL messenger was nothing compared to MSN messenger that shit was OG

Remember the robopuchi?

Good times. Some of this stuff was never a thing in european side of the world, or at least I've never heard of it back then, i.e. N'Sync, Will Smith, Og Space Jam, Oj Simpson, Sandlot, AOL, Oregon Trail, Goosebumps, pog, Lucky Rabbits Foot, Bop It, Tom Green, Dinosaurs, How rude, Jock James, Silly Putty Eggs, etc... but most of it was universal even if it originated in US.

Needs more Nu Metal.

I really enjoyed this video until you said, "Ore-GONE" trail...

😭😭 I love being a millenial

I was too cool for Pokémon cards. My 3rd edition Magic: The Gathering cards were way niftier. Oddly, I did get dates. But I never told them about my M:TG cards. I'm so old The Simpsons was too risqué for my parents too approve of. I was before Toonami. I had to wait every Sunday morning for a new episode, and repeats for 2 years thanks to the Ocean Dub fallout meant I didn't see Goku's new abilities until I lost my virginity. I had to get the Japanese subs from Hawaii to know what happened! Nobody loved Smith for Wild Wild West. We just forgave him for it. Along with Kevin Kline. I graduated in 2001. If you had a Tamagachi you didn't date. Like, ever. Goddamn, I can't even go on. Such teenage nostalgia!!! I had a blast watching this. BTW, I got many dates off MySpace. Facebook and Twitter can't say that.

jock james?????

👍

Tom Green had his nut cancer surgery done on live TV then showed what they took out in a clear plastic bag Yeah it was definitely for adults💯😂🤢

Pagers synonymous with upper class business folks??🤔😂🤣 When I think of pagers I immediately think of drug dealers FACTS

Care bears was a 80s thing

All this crap is from the late 90s early 2000s.Damn 90s baby's don't know nothing about the 90s.The second half was good alot more fron pre 95.
