Check out our featured song: "Save Yourself" by The Quadraholics! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jnZsohVTDjo.html Do you have fond memories of the ‘90s? Let us know in the comments below!

Short Sleeves over long sleeves is still a thing and that’s fine by me

And despite all these, the 90s were the greatest time of my life. 😄

The 90's was the best time to be a kid.

It's easy to say "The Y2K scare was overrated because nothing happened" when lots of us spent several years fixing that problem to make sure that nothing happened.

To be fair the last decade (especially last 3 years) have been 10x more cringe than the 90’s.

The 90's are iconic, nothing cringe about it

I wear short sleeves over long sleeves in fall or when it's kinda chilly

*Based on how stupid this list is, you can tell the people who did the research did not grew up in the 90's.*

I feel like low rise jeans was more of a 2000s cringe. JNCO jeans were more of 90s cringe

love how many of these start with "first popularised in the 1960s/70s/80"

Oh, the 90s. It needs to be brought back.

How did you not mention “the Rachel” cut?Everyone I know who got one regretted it later. Jennifer Aniston even hated the style herself.

As a 90s kid, I feel personally attacked by this video. 😭😅

In the 90's we were happy and we didn't know it. I miss the 90's☹️

My friend's dad said that Y2K was a real threat. He was involved in fixing it. There was a lot of work down by programmers and computer administrators to fix the issue. Nothing happened because of their work. People like him didn't get any press.

Bring me back to the 90s!!! 😭

Can’t wait for a list of the cringiest things of the 2020s 🥴

The fact that none of these things are really that cringey (not a word?) is really proof that it was the best decade ever. Crop tops and low rise jeans are cringey? WTF?

A lot of the 90's cringe in this was either from a previous era or is still going on today, glitter was more of an 80's thing before it got into the 90's. If anything this video is more nostalgia.

1990s: I was quite cringey as a decade 2010s: Hold my beer....

The narrator Ryan looks like he's in his 40s. He probably had an awful time during the 90s and still bitter about it

I’m guilty of the short sleeve over long sleeve shirt thing, In fact I’m 39 and still do it sometimes. Sue me I don’t care. Lol

I will take the over plucked eyebrows over today’s hairy caterpillar over the eyes any day.

There were a lot of behind the scenes pre-emptive measures taken before the year 2000 to make sure the Y2K disaster didn't actually happen. The "but nothing happened!" mentality is unfair.

none of these are remotely cringe. Compared to the stuff we have today, the 90's were badass.

A list of Characters that rocked the Mushroom Haircut: Leon Kennedy (Resident Evil) Peter Parker (Ultimate Spider-Man) Link (Ocarina of Time) Kyo Kusanagi (The King of Fighters) Trunks (Dragon Ball Z)

I always think the short sleeves long sleeves look is hot.

Low rise jeans was a great segway into those thongs that were meant to stick out and often have diamantes. Or the tramp stamp! Though, this was all more early 2000's I think

The 90s gave me Grunge. This single pro outweighs any possible the cons for me.

Year 2051: Top 10 Cringiest Things of 2020's #1. Mullet Haircut

10) overplucked eyebrows 9) waterbeds 8) short sleeves over long sleeves 7) spray butter 6) bowl/mushroom cut 5) body glitter 4) the macarena 3) popcorn shirts 2) crop tops & low-rise jeans 1) Y2K scare

I was born in 1981 and some of these I either don’t remember or just never noticed- like the spray on butter or the popcorn shirts.. Can’t believe they left out the oversized JNCO pants or those stupid tamagotchi toys girls had in high school 🤣

I grew up seeing these trends everywhere nowadays these trends are no longer existent but crop tops are now coming back but with high-waisted jeans and not low-rise jeans

Nothing cringy about these, it's nostalgia baby

It might be cringey for others, but the 90s for me will forever be THE BEST TIMES!!!

Wait a minute short sleeves over long sleeves was a 90s thing?! So that explains why I dress like that! I always did it because it was so hot so I wouldn't wear long sleeves unless absolutely special occasion. Turns out it was a 90s habit

I still wear short sleeves over long sleeve.

Imagine being a teenage girl in high school during the low hip hugger jean era. It was a time of great body dismorphia.

Who cares. It was what was in at the time. I’d go back to the 90’s in a heartbeat, it was a much simpler time!

There's a part of me that feels bad for Fabio. I can't look at him without thinking about that time he got hit in the face with a goose. An entire lifetime of work, and that's what I remember.

This may be my nostalgia talking but I unironically LOVE doing the Macarena. How dare you. Yeah it’s a bit cringe but I love it unironically

Top 10 Cringiest Things About the 2020's: You're going to need a bigger list.

Okay I like the thinner eyebrows also loved many things about the 90s while also seeing the cringe parts. But you are confused with some 2000-2010 stuff with some of this.

I would much rather live in the 90’s than spend another second in our perpetually offended current society.

I still wear long sleeves tops under t shirts, but in my defence I live in England and it’s cold for 90% of the year!

Actually Macarena was a trend like Harlem shake but probably less cringe

Crop tops with low rise jeans were the early aughts. Also, I'd rather see the Macarena than twerking any day of the week!

Over-plucked eyebrows number 10 shows Drew Barrymore as one of the top actresses that was doing it but then shows Whoopi Goldberg with none at all.😭😂😂

Thin eyebrows are a trend that was around since like the 20s LOL

The macarena was extremely cringy & completely out of control. Every party I went to in junior high & high school were doing it.

I’d relive the 90’s over and over if I could. We had so much going on. Rap was amazing, games consoles were on the up, films (actions, comedy, horror) we’re doing great, everything was denim

Compared to the hypocrisy and excessive pc culture of today, I prefer the 90s, cringe and all.

As Stewie Griffin once said... "I wear long sleeve shirts over short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts"

I learned the macarena in middle school music class.

80's and 90's > Every other decade. I wish I could live the rest of my life in those 2 decades 💯

The 90s on the 'Urban' Hip Hop/RnB side was DOPE...We had so much style then....

I feel attacked lmbo,i remember these styles and looks and trends lol was a tween in the 90s born 83 here i remember body glitter being a thing also waist jewelry ahh overloading on nostalgia.

I am so grateful I was a teen and young adult in the 90's, when no one had a camera in their pocket all the time. When I think of the crazy stuff my friends and I did that fortunately was not recorded.....

Don't know why Nick Carter's middle part is included. That was the best haircut of the 90s, especially when compared to the mullet and shaved sides with a ponytail.

"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter." What a funny product.

I still use the spray butter for some things like making Grilled Cheese When I was in Elementry School my mom was a Lunchroom Mom. I'll never forget during one rainout we all went into the Gym and she and the other lunchroom moms started doing the maharana in front of everyone and I wanted prayed to burst into flames and die right there.

I was only nine at the end of the 1990s so I may not remember a whole lot. But this was my childhood. After watching the video, a couple of things did come back to me. The macarena and Y2K in particular.

I still like the 90s fashion & music.

The bowl cut made famous by Moe Howard of the three stooges

Some of these are still a thing and I'm totally ok with it. I grew up in the 90s and it is nostalgic to see that some things never die or they make a comeback.

Keep it up on your work and this channel

OK so the 90s wasn't perfect. Is any decade? Also had a waterbed until I went to college. Was really comfy and kept me warm during the winter. My parents had one as well.

That haircut is coming back 👏

Lol, too true. Being a late teen in the 90s was crazy. What’s cool is we can watch zoomer cringe in real time on tic toc 😆🤘

As a 90's teen from Australia you got that SO right. That said, thanks for not making fun of us Grunge/Gypsy/Goth teens. Yes I was one. Whilst I kinda still dress that way I recognise the irony. Keep being your awesome selves people! X

I remember in my public school, all the students would hit the court, and we'd dance the Macarena.

Judging history by today's standards of cringe is hurting my feelings

10- plucked eyebrows: yeah that looks cringy, but it still lives in many countries today. 9- I never slept on a water bed, but it looks amazing. 8- short sleeves over long sleeves: I am for this fashion trend, its amazing, it can turn your boring long sleeve shirt into something unique with the additions. 7- didn't learn of the spray butter, don't want to try it lol 6- bowl cut can be heinous, or absolutely stunning, just like any other hair style, and to be fair, any handsome man can rock it, look at (Future Trunks) from Dragon Ball Z for example, probably the most handsome look he has is the bowl cut. 5- I am an emo, glitter is not my thing, but it is not bad or cringy. 4- the Macarena was the 90's despacito. 3- popcorn shirts are ... uhm.... weird indeed, now we have other stretchy stuff to wear which look better. 2- crop top + lowrise jeans = hot, fight me. 1- y2k is not a 90's thing, it's a human thing, there are always doomsday theories about the end of the world. all in all, the 90's are the BEST decade, I wish we can get back to them.

If there is ever a 90’s theme party I’m bringing back short sleeves, over long sleeves with JNCO

Whoever made this list clearly didn’t grow up in the 90s and has no clue what’s cringie and what isn’t. This was one of the best decades. Ever.

Nope, I prefer those plucked brows look over fake thick brows and excessive make-up/plump lips trending nowadays. One thing you have naturally thick brows like Emilia Clarke and Cara Delevigne, or natural thick plump lips like Angelina Jolie, they look great with it. But then everyone tries to be like them, what you have are clown posses instead. Then again, nothing cringes on with low-rise jeans. I also prefer that style over "mom pants" over the hips style.

The macarena should be a touchdown celebration 🙌

What I liked about the 90s was that gaming/ internet/ tech was on the rise at the time. We would play video games, but get bored pretty fast and play outside with the other neighborhood kids. Biking, skateboarding, pickup football games, jump roping, ding dong ditch, WWF wrestling sessions, basketball, fireworks, etc.. there was so much fun things to do. I remember my old neighbor’s dad down the street would work on lowriders. We would watch him work on em, and box in the garage at the same time. Other kids would join up and we would go to the next house when we got bored. Our parents and their parents would link up and have neighborhood block BBQs for 4th. It was a crazy, exciting time.

My Mom said I was conceived in a water bed lol. I also remember one of my friends parents had one when I was a little kid. Was so cool.

These are far less cringe, then most things in the 2000s...have you seen whats out there now?

I had a water bed in the early 200 late 90s they were comfortable and cool the way you jumped on the water bed it feels better than mattresses The 90s were a fun era

I have to disagree with number 4! Down in South Texas, the Macarena is the highlight of every wedding, quinceañera, and school dance! 🤣

Ahhh, yes… Having spent my younger years in the 90s, I can assure you that spray butter was the highlight of the decade. My friends & I still reminisce about the good old days, when you didn’t need a knife for breakfast. Man, the sweet days of just spraying butter on your toast. Yup, definitely the first thing everyone thinks about when they hear “the 90s”.

Waterbeds were not a 90s trend. They were dated and cringy by then.

I was born in the late 80s, so I consider myself a 90s kid because that's when I actually started remembering stuff. What's cringey about the 90s to me is when kids born in 1996 or after refer to themselves as 90s kids. GTFOH with that nonsense. You were barely old enough to speak or write by the time 2000 hit. Just trying to say they grew up in the best decade

Oh yeah, those low-rise jeans made the late 90s/early 2000s the Decade of the Butt Crack and Thong Handlebar. Speaking of which, I can't believe that the thong didn't make the list here or in the video on the 2000s. There was even a song about them!

Ngl, the sleeves thing looks very cool

Crop tops and low-rise jeans on girls was the best fashion. Still better then half of the trends today.

in 20 or 30 years all the things that are a trend now, including the term cringe will be found whatever the substitute for cringe is going to be

My friend's computer actually crashed from Y2K (he didn't even have Windows 95 on it).

Gonna dance the Macarena at my wedding and my funeral lol

Y2k. 20 years later and the media are more influential, damn them.

Macarena cringe? Disagree, this is the staple song of ANY party

im not a 90s kid, but i actually like the short sleeves over long sleeves look before i even knew it was a 90s thing

If you want to feel chunky, the low rise jeans were the way to go. I legit thought the world was gonna end on New Year’s Eve 1999. Britney rocked the glitter!

If you haven’t… you MUST do an 80s version of this list. Hair gel, members-only jackets… dear god forget top ten. It needs a top 20.

Most of these I remember from the late 90’s early 2000’s. Not necessarily from the 90’s.

Babydoll dresses - oxygen bars - bumper sole shoes - feng shui - heroin chic - Zima - "the Rachel cut" - fetish clubs - those damn squiggly dot pictures you stare at til you see a 3D image - Hypercolor - ravers with binkies - Video Toaster - anythingpalooza - goatees - chain wallets - hennaed hands - Caesar cuts - riot grrrls - Yugo - smart drinks - aroma disc players - Orbitz - mens nail polish - Jaeger bombs - George Foreman Grill - aromatherapy - "looks like a pump, feels like a sneaker" - shoegazers - walkathons - seatbelt belts - messenger bags

Thanks for putting that damn song back in my head
