25 Things We Miss From The ’90s

90's

I need this shirt...

Before the days of super smart phones, Facebook, and Justin Bieber; there were Nintendo 64s, Tamagotchis, and The Backstreet Boys— three of the most popular things in the ’90s. The toys and gadgets might have been more simple, and the TV shows and movies might not have been 3D, but one thing’s for sure: the ’90s rocked.

If I could list all of the things I miss about the ’90s, well… this would be a very, very long post. While some things have happily returned (reruns of Boy Meets World, Full House and Saved By The Bell, along with the ’90s Nickelodeon lineup), a lot of things seem to be gone for good. What we wouldn’t give to hear a brand new N*SYNC song…

We might not be able to get these things back, but we definitely can spend a lot of time reminiscing on how much we miss them. Check out the 25 most-missed things from the ’90s:

 

AOL IM: Don’t act like you don’t miss screen names. (Mine was xxprncsscutiexx. Don’t judge.)
