REMEMBER 1998 

The late 90s-early 2000s was such a beautiful time...

That era was so much fun as a kid. No instagram, no twitter, no facebook... listening to disney radio, always watching movies, and just playing outside.

When I say I'm crying...I mean literal tears. What I would give to just spend one more day as a clueless, daydreaming, 11 year old again. Everything was so much simpler then.😔

I was born in 1985. I'm glad I was a child of the 1990's. Great decade.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.....

The overall vibe of the late 90s and early 00s was truly something special.

1998 was such a great time to be alive. Gaming, music, TV shows, Movies, WWF. I'd do almost anything to go back for one week.

I was 16 back then. Now I'm 38. How time flies! I miss the late 80's and the early 90's! Those were my childhood years.

I'm in disbelief that 1998 was 20 years ago now, doesn't feel like it at all. '98 was the core year of my childhood.

This is like the flashback u get before u die

This is almost too much to watch. A wave of melancholy and nostalgia.

Rose-tinted glasses aside, culture of the late nineties seemed to be taking off in every direction. Gaming, music, fashion, film; everything looked so diverse and fearlessly experimental. We need to somehow recapture this spirit again and incorporate it into the twenties. Everything of the last 15 years has homogenized and become safe and sterile.

I would have been 13-14 in 1998. My favorite memories are the ones of every day life. Sitting in the car with my sister while my mom was in the store, hanging out in the pool during summer with the radio on, and just generally not worrying so much. That's probably the best part about being a kid--you live more in the moment. Nowadays I feel the full weight of every passing second.

Holy shit, late 90s pop music was so diverse, so many different genres. Nearly something for everyone, what a melting pot. I mean I'm familiar with all the songs, but putting them in a medley like that, what a wonderful display of creativity. Today's funnel of only mumble pop and dystopian fiction really does wear down the soul. Almost as if it's psychological warefare. Let's be diversely creative, expressive and fun again!

Back then we didn't know Dawson crying would become an internet meme. Lol.

Back when the internet was cool. I was 10 years old and oh so oblivious to the world. Good times man. Going to the movies with friends, drinking surge and playing n64 till 3 am at sleepovers

The nostalgia that I feel when thinking of the years 1997-2000 makes me want to cry my heart out. I would do anything to go back to that time. Beautiful, bright, simple days.

Maybe it's because I'm 27 but this seemed like such a big year. So many memorable movies and music.

Miss the late 90s so much 😢

holy shit, whoever made this video is hyper aware of what was happening in 1998

I want to go back in time.

Pre-9/11 was an absolutely magical time to be a kid, and generally to live. Will never forget it.

As a kid born in 1989, i love the kitschy-futuristic design of the late 90s

Holy crap, i am only 2 minutes in and it has already produced more great things than 2015-2020 ever did.

You guys are amazing! We're binge watching this whole channel!!!

The best year of my life, what I would do to turn back time and relive it again.

I was 13 in 1998. This is like fckn nostalgia overload. Great times

Can't believe 1998 was 20 years ago. One of the best years ever in history. Whoo hoo 1998! Nicely made video

I was born in 95 but I still remember 99-2007 being the best years of my childhood

Class of 98' here!

0:34 The Parent Trap 0:40 Tomb Raider 3 0:44 Crash Bandicoot: Warped 1:04 Metal Gear Solid 1:23 Either The Thin Red Line or Saving Private Ryan (not sure) 1:28 Star Wars: Rouge Squadron 1:34 Armageddon 1:57 Catdog 2:23 A Bug’s Life 2:27 Rolie Polie Olie 3:27 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3:44 Gran Turismo 4:01 Elmo’s World 4:09 Half-Life 6:06 James Cameron wins an Oscar for Best Director 6:24 Pokémon anime and Pokémon Red & Blue

1998 will always have a special place in my heart.

I was 11 yrs old in 1998. Kids today have no idea how good things were back then. We will NEVER have days like the 90s - September 10th 2001 again.

I was 15 in 1998 holy shit where does the time go. Loved the late 90’s, great memories.

I was 10 years old. I soaked up everything, I feel like every song has been imprinted on my soul. I wish I could go back 😭❤

TAKE ME BACK TO ANY DAY OF 1995-2005 FOR 24 HOURS! ALL I NEED!!!!

I feel sorry for anyone that didn't get to experience the 90's... What a great decade.

I miss the 90s born in 86 back when the world still made since I miss 98 .

Life was sooo much better in the 90’s

I was born in 1987. The 90s and early 00s were THE BEST YEARS!!!!!

Nostalgia is great but don't get lost in it. Live in the moment, it's all you had back in 1998 and all you have now.

I was born in 89 I will never forget them days of a 90s child :-) Things will never be the same unfortunately

1998 may have been the best year ever...

Before everything got politized. Diversity in music and positivity ruled.

Had to stop the vid, couldn’t take the sadness

This is probably the happiest video on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing this piece of history. Im born 1988, so I’m smiling and crying of joy. Such a great time.

Back when "Ricky Martin is gay" was just a joke.

I miss the 90’s!

Oh my goodness yes. Even though I was just 4 years old I remember a lot of this year with passion. Bless 98

being a kid in the 90s was a blessing, its not the age, it was the time that was so good. the more I think about the late 90s, the more I get to remember how good those days was. And the more I remember how fucked up paranoid useless crap of a time we are living in. The 90s was not only a decade, it was an inspiration and a good example of how things should be, and how the world should be like. I dont care about modern times, give me my favorite decade back!

"Goodbye, my friend." Robin Williams turns around. Hurt.

Robot Wars, Powerpuff Girls, Pokemon, Bob the Builder, Spyro the Dragon and Fatboy Slim. 1998 was a great time to be a kid!

As a European who was a teenager in the 90s I have to say, that when looking back, what is maybe most striking for me about this time compared to nowadays, is the overall image of the USA. When I was a teenager the USA were something cool, admired and even beloved. Even as European you wore clothes with the US-flag and had a rather uncritical view of the USA as the leader of the free world, one of the good guys and dependable partner for Europe. The turning point was the Iraq war and since then the image of the USA is steadily getting worse (even under Obama) with Trump's (first?) term bringing it to a low point which would have been absolutely unimaginable in the 90s...

1998 and 1999 were the happiest years of my life

Being born in ‘98 is bittersweet. I wish I was born way before so I could’ve actually enjoyed it and the 90s but as I watch my younger sister’s generation i’m soooo happy that I enjoyed my childhood before everything changed. Really sad that kids these days have a totally different childhood. I think back to the early 2000s I can clearly see when life started being shitty

The late 90s and early 2000s was so mellow. I was just a kid then but it was a trip, man. Good music, fun video games and just overall good times when I was a kid.

I was 9 years old, my sister was 8. We were super absorbed with pop culture in 1998. There’s not a song we didn’t know, movie we didn’t see or a video game we didn’t play lol best year of my life.

I just turned 50 the other day. I mostly disliked the nineties, until this year. I’ll do that decade again, no problem

I just wanna cuddle to the 90’s like its a feeling and will stay there forever

1998 was a very good year. In fact, 1996 - 2000 were some of my best years to date.

1998 will be a year marked in my memory; I was 11 years old. As a French, I associate that with our first time as a football world cup winner. This was also the last time I saw my grandmother alive, the first time I went to the mountains. The years between 1997-2000 were so simple and pure. However, this might apply to anybody looking back at their 7-13 years old: the end of the childhood transitioning to adolescence. We are grown enough to understand things of life but still too young to have significant "responsibilities".

I feel privileged to have been born in 1998. I’m 22 now it’s crazy how quick time seems to be going .. I really wish I’d have grown up in the 90s I think it would of been a great experience! Although I’m still grateful that I grew up just before this generation of iPhones, iPads and what ever else. I still had things like a Gameboy and PlayStation 2 but nothing was as good as playing outside on my skateboard or scooter. This current world has really got me worried for what lies ahead but I will always cherish the memories of my childhood.

So many nice memories😭, I was 12 years old in 1998, and I remember how much I love watching Mtv, when used to be "Music" Television 100%. I wish have a time machine and back to the 90's

....man, '98 was such a good year! Thanks for the trip down memory lane...i would go back in a second...

I miss the 90s and early 2000 best times for sure.

Still hard to believe this was all 25 years ago. Felt like it was just yesterday. Growing up in the 90s was something else, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Maybe for some Pokémon cards from that era but that’s about it lol

Holy crap....1998 was a GREAT year for music of ALL genres. I dont think there has literally been any year since in when all genres of music had a top 50 billboard hit

I can never forget '98. What an unforgettable year. I completed my freshman year of college and I remember being so stoked! Clubbing in the late 90's to early 00's was the best! The death of Matthew Shepard really got me. Being a young college gay kid myself at the time, I was terrified and thinking could someone harm me or my friends? His death will always stick with me. RIP Matthew Shepard. 🕊❤

Everyone born in 1998 can admit we are unique and was born from a unique era 🥰

Music in the 90's was THE BEST! There were so many music genres available!! As a teen, it was so easy to find different styles to fit my ever-changing mood. One day I would listen to punk rock, grunge and hard rock if I felt like it, and the next day I would be chilling to r'n'b, singing along pop hits or dancing like crazy to techno music! Nowadays, you turn on the radio and everything sounds the same :(

dude, not only was the world different at that time, even people acted different and they had a different mindset, its not easy to explain to a person who never experienced the 1990s, but. MAN, how our world have changed since then. Its not enough to watch these videoes, but to actually experience that time.

Beautiful movies, music and tv shows. Miss the 90s a lot.😭

1998 is the year where I was born!! :)

THE 90s WERE THE GREATEST. We had so much good music

Thank you 1998. I love you.

A lot better than 2020....

I guess since soccer is not popular, the huge fifa world cup 1998 was not in this video. It's one of my biggest memories as well when France took the championship

I was born in the same year as Elmo's World, Pokemon, Power Puff Girls and The Prince of Egypt. Best year to be born into.

I was perfect 16 in 1998.. Still missing 1998-1999

This really takes me back! (Born in 1986). A lot as happened to me personally in 1998 and I won't forget that year.

Favorite president, movie, song, video game. Take me back to the 90s!

Born in 1998 and it took me 21 years to just look up 4 simple numbers into YT about my birth year to see whats up. Not disappointed

98 and 99 was the best.... So good to be a teen then.. Movies.. Music... Games... Such good times

Man i wanna go back

1998 when I graduated high school. 15 minutes of non stop goosebumps.

The Nostalgia 👍🏾😢 I was 9 years old and I remember every bit of this was so influential on my I remember every song every show every movie

I was 8 when all of this was going on, but it's crazy how much of this I clearly remember, and how much it doesn't seem like 20 years ago.

1998 reminds me of that time that the Undertaker threw Mankind off the hell in the cell into the Spanish announcer's table.

Watching this on my 22nd birthday. It's a yearly tradition for me.

I was born 1998, yet I experienced most of the things shown here years after I was born which shows how influential that year was!

I'd give anything to go back :( First cd i ever bought with my own money was Dmx

I was 7 years old in 1998. Life was so beautiful back then. Time flies extremely fast. 😭

Seriously took me back like few things have so far... I was 18 in 98, leaving high school, going to college...it's a very vivid memory I have and your video is just the closest to time travel I've experienced in my 40 years... the music, the videos, the videogames... so spot on!! Awesome job!

OMG My heart is bursting with nostalgia. I turned 16 that March so I was excited thinking of getting my driver's license. I remember buying "Ray of Light" the day it came out and becoming obsessed with both "54" soundtracks, watching "Sex & The City" (meanwhile, I didn't even lose my virginity until a year later lol), going to see "Ever After" "The Waterboy" "54" and "Rushmore" at the movies. I had to ask a stranger at the movie theater to buy me tickets for "Wild Things" because I was under 17 lol I even made a Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky painting for my art class because it was a huge scandal at the time. I wrote a movie review for "Antz" for my journalism class (hard hitting stuff, huh? lol), Trying to sing the lyrics to "One Week" with one of my friends in chemistry class, That stupid Vengabus song playing at school dances, While I was at Tower Records I picked up a free AOL CD-ROM that was branded with the movie "You Got Mail" I probably still have it in a box of junk somewhere. I remember having a crush on the guy from Third Eye Blind, falling in love with the song "Life in Mono" (I still listen to it), I bought a Pokemon wallet because kiddie-accessories were still cool for teenagers in the 90's, and swing music having a moment (Does anyone remember the "Everyone in khakis" GAP commercial that featured "Jump, Jive, and Wail"?) I will say that this feels a bit more UK-geared, as the Spice Girls were pretty much over here in the states by 1998 and there's at least 3 references to them in this. Still: Amazing video!

omg, my best moment in life ever... .am watching this and it flashes, it looks like we are only given the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of this life only in this era, 1999 and below .. n then the world is changing,,

The nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks

1998 My favourite YEAR so far!!!

1998 was the final season of Seinfeld. I remember the furby and cyber pet craze. Also the video game Age of Empires was at its peak online in 1998.

90s was amazing I was in school in elementary school from first to second grade in 1998 memories of being in school getting that education and I was born in 1991 the early 90s I love the 1990's my childhood.
