40 Hilariously Honest Jokes And Memes About The 1990s That Children Today Will Not Understand

A majority of people reading this are probably those who are either from the '90s or know for a fact that the '90s were the best decade on the planet. The '90s were when life was so much better and much calmer than it is today.

Things were cheaper, people were saner, and music was so much more awesome. Don't get me wrong; I love my life today, but I miss the '90s.

Since I can't turn back time, whenever I feel nostalgic, I watch movies and cartoons from the '90s, play my Nintendo Game Boy, and visit places I used to go back in the day. I genuinely feel that life is more complicated and confusing today than it was back in the '90s.

Music was on a different level. I mean, come on—Aqua, Girl, Savage Garden, Backstreet Boys... It was epic back then because even the lyrics made sense.

Aside from some albums, you could hum songs out loud and still not offend the people around you. What do we have today?

I don't even want to get started. But I can tell you that the lyrics of some songs break the laws of physics, yet we hum them because the "beat is rad / dope / GOAT." SMH.

This post is for those who genuinely miss the '90s. Let's bask in the glory of a worthy decade!

In Summary...

There's nothing I can tell you to make you feel better after this extremely nostalgic post. I know some just realized how old they are, while others are sad that a wonderful decade is over.

Know that I understand your pain. The '90s feel like they were just 10 years ago, but let me remind you, it was over 30 years ago.

Let that sink in. We're all fossils.
