Top 20 Things Only '90s Kids Will Understand 

If there’s a distinctly ‘90s thing YOU'RE distinctly upset we forgot, remind us below, and check out our video A Deep Dive Into the 90s - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-so20UU4JoHE.html

I wasn't born until the tail end of this decade, but so many things from it became the best parts of my childhood. Classic movies, clothes, toys, and it was so great revisiting it all here.

I was born in 1990. This video made my miss my childhood so much. God I love being a 90s kid and wish everyday I could go back.

You forgot furbies, beanie bag chairs, our obsession with friends, the spice girls, backstreet boys, nysnc, Britney Spears, chia pets, recording our own mixtapes, recording movies on VHS, the dinsney Renaissance and the joy of watching one Saturday morning Disney cartoons.

I remember playing pinball, with Pokémon cards, putting glow-in-the-dark stars on my ceiling and pretending I was in space, my Gameboy original and advanced, watching Saturday morning cartoons, etc. Growing up in the 90s was legit. Take me back!

Being a 90s kid, I can definitely relate to a lot of these. The Olsen twins were my childhood heroes. I amazingly never failed at opening a Capri Sun drink. I was an obsessive Beanie Babies collector and I slept with the “life-size” ones at night and I still have a vast majority of them in storage because I have such fond memories of them (many of them are souvenirs too). I went to Blockbuster once or twice a week ever since I was six cause there was one only 5 minutes away from my house and we would rent around 4-6 movies a week! I still have all the movies and games I ever bought from there.

The ‘90s is also part of my childhood. ❤

Even though I was only born towards the end of the 90's, I'm still nostalgic for that era, since it gave us plenty of iconic films, TV shows, phrases and fashions!

I was born in 1987 the 90s was everything to me. This video is so nostalgic! Thank you so much I shared it with my friends who are awesome 90s kids!

I was born in '88. The 90s was the best decade ever. Best era to be a child. Watching this almost made me tear up from nostalgia. One thing I'll never miss is that dang dial up internet. 😒

Oh, I ❤ the ‘90s One of my top 3 favorite decades. 😊

I miss the 90’s so much! The world was a much better place back then. No social media, no cancel culture, no mass shootings at concerts, and no wokedness! The shows, movies, music, fashions, educational programs, and so many other things made the world so much more at peace. Kids today will never understand the joy it was to grow up back in those days. 😊

"Respect The Pouch! RESPECT IT!" 🥤 something I took to heart as a kid. I would gently drink and threw it in the trash as if it'd explode if I wasn't too careful! 💀

I remember when the internet dial up was used, and would wait for it to load. I hated how we couldn’t use the phone when the internet was used

The nostalgia was so real, great list overall. Some misses: - no mention of Trapper Keepers, book covers and colorful folders in the school supplies section - ABC’s TGIF lineup - PBS shows like Barney, Lamb Chop, Reading Rainbow, Ghost Writer Carmen Sandiego and Wishbone - various studio logos/sign offs with audio like “sit ubu sit”, “DiC”, Disney, etc - Walkman/Discman - Captain Planet - light up sneakers - I wanna be like Mike

Growing up in The 1990’s and 2000’s, I Loved and remember watching Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Nick at Nite, SNICK, Nick GaS, Nicktoons TV, Noggin, FOX Kids, FOX Box, FOX Family Channel, Discovery Kids, Discovery Kids on NBC, TLC, Ready Set Learn on TLC, Sci-Fi Channel, MTV, Comedy Central, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Kids WB, The WB, UPN, UPN Kids, BKN on UPN, Disney’s One Too on UPN, Disney’s One Saturday Morning on ABC, ABC Kids, Playhouse Disney, Disney Channel, Toon Disney, The CBS KidShow, Nick Jr. on CBS, Nick on CBS, Noggin on Nick and More!❤️📺🎶👍🏻

The 90s was the last decade of creativity and imagination, before these phones and hyper real CGI took over our ability to think for ourselves.

Born in 1988 this was my life living in the 90s ❤

The Joy Of Watching Fox Kids and Kids WB and UPN Kids to a lesser extent

Speaking of the loud THX logo, I used to have Disney’s Tarzan on VHS, and that logo would appear with the loud noise. Imagine hearing that in a theater

I remember being hyped as could BE when the Tiny Toons Summer Vacation special came out and laughing my butt off when the THX parody sound came on in the theater and there was a big loud voice that went 'The audience is now deaf.'

Born in January of 92. I Miss the 90s they'll never be another time like it

Born in 1985 and a proud 90’s kid. What a time to be alive! Millennials stand up!

I’d say most of these carried into the early 2000s cause I was born in 1994 and remember many of them.

I remember these, thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Omg I miss the 90s so much! The music, the movies, everything on this list-it was the perfect time to be a kid! I was 5-15 during this decade ❤️

My favorite decades 1940s 😊 wasn’t born in this time but gosh everything is so classic and beautiful about it! Love the black and white movies, art, fashion, music etc. 1980s still the best decade for movies, music and entertainment as a whole. I didn’t care for the fashion or the hair styles really weird and over the top. But god the best songs and really nostalgic damn…. 1990s. My childhood nuf said. 😂 you get it.

I was born in 1995 so a must've been a mid 90's baby to understand these.

I’m 42 and currently drinking a Capri Sun. 😊

90s fashion is currently running its course and it won’t be too many more years till 00s style is back in full. While in the 2000’s the 70s were popular.

the clips from Arthur featured in this, are totally the icing on the cake!

The 90s was a really big time for my childhood. I remember most of these things so well especially the TH XQ sound that was so scary. I remember when it came on. I kind of got scared of listening to it but at the same time I liked it I am so proud and thankful to be a 90s baby and I am so thankful that I was around at the time and these things happen. I will always remember those.

Even 2000’s kids would understand

Even though i was born in the late 90's , i can still identify with some picks of this top (such as the solitaire and the THX logo sound, which reminded me of "Over the hedge") happy saturday afternoon Ms Mojo, take care and God bless you, see you soon for more and greetings from Colombia to you as well.

I grew up in the nineties, I don't miss my childhood, I'm just glad I somewhat enjoyed it.

Love these type of list

This was such a fun video. Very nostalgic! 😁

I swear I was expecting her to say about the Skip-it that, "it's made of plastic and attached to one of your feet, and breaks your other ankle if you do it wrong." 😂

A mid 90s baby that grew up with a majority of these. Thanks msmojo

As a 2000s kid, I enjoyed Capri-Suns and putting the straw in. It’s not wrong to drink Capri-Suns as an adult--I’m more akin to Juicy Juice, another kid-friendly brand adults can enjoy. Respect the pouch! Respect it!

Lol, my parents didn't actually use our real CDs in our cars (and my sister and I when we got our own, too) to prevent scratching or warping in the heat of summer. We burned a copy and left the original at home instead.

R.I.P my complete pokemon card collection...

I think 90% of this applies to kids that grew up in the early 2000s as well

I was born in march 3rd 1991 and I use to love playing the super nintendo, watching disney movies and watching fox kids because kids themed lineup was a thing

Tiny Toon Adventures had an episode back in the day that parodied the THX sound. It was followed with, "The audience is now deaf...".

I recognize all of them. So much nostalgia in this video

There was something special about this decade and everyone growing up in it made it important.

Makes me a proud 90s kid ❤️ Rip to the Tamagotchi that I "accidentally" killed countless times

Related to CDs... spending all your money on expensive imports of CDs you already had. Best example of color changing that you missed was Hypercolor shirts! I wanted one so bad, but my parents never got me one.

Now that was a great time

I was born at the end of '87. So thxs for the nostalgia.

i find it funny that i grew up listening to billy west, doug, favorite cartoon, and i watch him even now in reruns of futurama, i guess he would be considered as one of my favorite VAs

The sounds of THX, the dial up and many other 90's sounds are soothing just listening to now.

I have often said that the Olsen twins could have their own channel with all their movies and tv shows and straight to DVD things and whatever else they had their hand it its more than enough to have a channel lmao

Being born in 84 was perfect for being around and loved the 90's

Round the twist was a favourite tv show for any Australian 90's kid. Today you can say the 1st line of the theme and an Aussie 90's kid will continue the song

The 90’s and early 00’s was the best decade! Bring it back!

I remember so many of these…and my game was Rat Poker 🤣

The best thing about the 90's was the lack of crippling anxiety over housing costs and other bills.

90s kids are the last generation... that grew up in the actual world without the internet. Road Rash game, cassette video games, floppy disks, watching cartoons all day on Cartoon Network and Disney... ahhh 90s were magical.

I was born in the early 90s so I remember a lot of this also remember buying VHS tapes growing up.

Tamagotchi was fun back in the day and it has made quite a come back recently too.

Some of these things also happened in the 2000s.

Born in 92 and I can tell kids today so many stories about the 90s. Especially about beanie baby mania.I remember hearing about parents fighting in toy stores like in jingle all the way to get them for their kids. So many bite marks, black eyes and missing hair. Another thing I remember is Sargent soaker. Super power. Super speed. Super soakers all you need.

I was born in 86 these top 20 90s things make me really appreciate growing up in the 90s 🙏

Hey I legit thought those gushers would turn your head into fruit thus why I NEVER ate them LOL.

Using so much footage from Arthur is quite appropriate for this video. I seriously miss Blockbusters. Heck, the one that used to be down the street from my old family home is where I got my copy of Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost. The 90s were the best. I really do miss them. Everything seemed so much simpler back then. And more fun

Please, If you're a 90s kid, heed my words. I want to get this out to as many of you as possible: I feel that 90s kids automatically praise anything from the 90s no matter how dated or cringey it may be, and that they are always ranting and complaining about anything that isn't from the 90s without even giving it a chance to see if they might actually like it. Not only is their constant negativity annoying to listen to, but they are upsetting modern kids by claiming that everything they love is garbage. So, if you're a 90s kid, please try to remember that different people like different things. You're ruining the lives of younger people like me. Think about how you would have felt as a kid if some random adult had yelled at you to stop watching Rugrats or Hey Arnold because it was garbage and pressured you into watching old black-and-white sitcoms because they claimed that they were in every way better. That's essentially what you're doing to us modern kids. (Plus, I'm betting that a huge part of why you like the 90s so much is because of nostalgia.) This complaining is actually especially offensive to me in particular because I, myself, am a young adult planning to enter the film and animation industries. I very much enjoy the thought of bringing others joy with what I create, and I have been kicking around an idea for a cartoon of my own that I am EXTREMELY fond of and confident in. What I'm interpreting you 90s kids as saying is "give up on your dreams! All you'll make is pointless garbage that no one will like!", So can you please think before you post an online comment criticizing something you don't fully understand? You just might really hurt someone's feelings. (P.S: if you're curious about my cartoon, I would describe it as a combination of Gravity Falls, Avatar The Last Airbender, and the Arrowverse, but that's all I'll say)

As an adult I make fortune tellers for the kids I work with and teach them how to make one if they ask :) makes me feel like I’m giving them this sacred information passed down to me from generations of wise people

Passing notes in class until the teacher catches you and reads it aloud to the class 😅

Other 90’s things: Furby, troll dolls, squiggle pens, teck decks, goosebumps books, rugrats.

I was born in ‘03 but I remember some of these 😭

Born 1994 and I remember watching movie on VCR tapes and buying Jordan shoes costs $69 in 2001 and gameboy hangout with my friends

One big one that was missed: the euphoria of seeing your school's name on the bottom ticker of the news saying you had a snow day.

Being a late 90s kid from the Balkans we had the 90s till the early 2000s. Remember the sounds when you turn on a game operation system? Be it PSP or Nintendo. It had that sound.

This just proves that the 90s is the best decade

so loud tmx made me jump in theater

This was awesome video tribute to all us 90s kids which I’m proud to say I am and watching this video on my birthday no less is so awesome 🥳🥳 You did forget the boy band craze in the 90s and cartoons though MsMojo but other than that you did a fantastic job can’t wait for your next video love your channel 😊

Hey what about the 90s yo-yo boom? It was like everyone had one, i remember going to a meeting of yoyo enthusiasts

Super Nostalgic for It takes two lol.

I can't believe someone remembers 13 Dead End Drive! I loved that game, that and You Don't Know Jack lol. But yeah you forgot watching One Saturday Morning cartoons and the TGIF lineups

My daughter was a Lisa Frank freak!!...smile

17:05 "TURN IT UP!! TURN IT UUUUUUUP!!!!!"

Being a 90s kid I can relate to most of these. I never had a problem opening a Capri Sun, but my mom did LOL. I watched every movie the Olsen twins were in, I had a tamagotchi, and most of my school supplies was Lisa Frank. I always sang along to the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song and I knew how to do the Carlton. I rented a movie almost every weekend. I also loved playing with my skip it. The 90s were great!

Body, glitter, and butterfly hair clips for a girls!

Amazing video Rebecca from ms mojo of 90 kids understand from the 90th,fantastic job.

Born in 1993 and have a Good memory of the last 3 years of the 90’s (and a very vague memory of some events in the mid 90’s). I experienced childhood in both 90’s and early 00’s before becoming a teenager in the Mid 00’s. So I’m basically hybrid, not one or the other but both.

Thanks for making me feel old.

I love how the thx logo breaks on over the hedge

I thought I was a 90s kid, but half of these make me realize I was more 80s kid

you forgot the cinnamon toast crunch and the kool aid ajjajajaja tohse was nice

Born in 1990 and im very grateful for that!

I use a wheelchair to get around. That being said I was in and out of the hospital for the first 15 years of my life. I used to have a lot of beanie babies because my surgeon would give them to me after every surgery. I was born in 96 but so far I remember experiencing or at least hearing about this stuff lol (I’m only at 7:41 so far)

Oh yeah, everyone loves the Fresh Prince theme until they have hear it on repeat EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. FOR. HOURS. At work because their boss won’t change the channel.

My sis was Mary-Kate, I was always Ashley. We watched all the movies and read their mysteries.

OMG! I just showed my kids how to draw the S today! LOL

Everytime the THX logo came up you knew it would be a special movie! And usually it was..

I only ever once had a problem opening a capri-sun. Once i poked the straw all the way though the entire bag to the other side. other than that, it wasn't that hard to get it right. They should make adult cocktails that are like spike capri-suns that'd be fun!

Omg can we go back to the 90s!!! From tamagotchis i even had the talking nano that came out bought it at toys r us heads up 7 up or school house rock for rainy days even remember pogs that had the slammers had the skip it the classic board games and cartoons and of course the video stores dam i miss them truly great times

Having a double VCR player so you could record your rented Blockbuster videos. The best purchase was a VCR that would automatically rewind your videos for you 😅
