Pictures That Will Give You Severe Flashbacks To The Late ’90s
#1 When your movie “collection” stacked up like this:
CLASSICS. Plus the smell was heavenly you know the one!
#2 When you played DDR with your friends, trying not to trip and fall while you perfected your mad sick dance skillz:
Boy, did you get sweaty!
#3 The satisfaction of perfectly slicing into the CD packaging with one of these:
You also ended up buying like a dozen of them since they'd always seem to disappear.
#4 Praying that when SpongeBob came on Nickelodeon, it would be one of your favorite episodes:
"BAND GEEKS" WAS THE BEST.
#5 When Britney and Justin (RIP) changed fashion history FOREVER:
And of course, you knew that Britney and Justin were the ULTIMATE couple goals.
#6 Every episode of Lizzie McGuire you *HOPED* Gordo and Lizzie McGuire would realize that they were totally meant for each other:
WHY COULDN'T THEY SEE IT?! It was crystal-fucking-clear.
#7 Looking forward to lunchtime so that you could enjoy some of these “gourmet” treats:
Even if there was NEVER enough frosting.
#8 Always singing along to the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (because you knew the words by heart):
Bet you're singing this in your head right now.
#9 Hurting your fingers while testing the battery life of a Duracell:
Even if you knew the battery was good, you did tested it anyways ‘cause it was some cutting-edge shit.
#10 Whenever you went to the mall this was the first place you headed to:
Or at least WANTED to head to, before your parents dragged you somewhere else.
#11 Somehow, you knew how to do the “Macarena” (and might even remember a few of the moves):
It was played at every sleepover, birthday party, wedding, bar/bat mitzvah and/or quinceañera you went to.
#12 The immense joy whenever you got a new friend request on Myspace:
But then you had to decide if your new friend was Top 8 worthy.
#13 The rush of excitement you would feel when you’d go to the midnight release of the new Harry Potter book:
And you KNEW you weren't sleeping that night.
#14 Getting overly frustrated and mad after you accidentally bent the tag on your Beanie Baby:
"UGH, IT'S WORTHLESS NOW!" you in 1999.
#15 Looking forward to Friday nights so you could hear some of Mr. Feeny’s wisdom on Boy Meets World:
Hell, everything about this show was something to look forward to.
#16 Making the most epic and perfect mix CD (from songs you downloaded on LimeWire) for your friends or crush:
Then taking a sharpie to it and personalizing it.
#17 Walking past Abercrombie & Fitch in the mall, and smelling THAT smell:
And if you were growing up gay, totally checking out those advertisements LOL.
#18 Begging that ONE friend who had a cell phone to borrow it so you could play Snake:
Then being annoyed when they asked for it back five minutes later.
#19 Rushing from your bus stop to make it home in time to catch T.R.L.:
And also hoping they'd be playing your favorite video.
#20 When you danced along to the Fantas commercial before movies:
"Don't ya wanna Fanta?"
#21 Sitting (not so) patiently through this Windows screen:
You don't miss it. AT ALL.
#22 Knowing there was NO better place for a (’90s) kid to be a kid than Discovery Zone.
Sorry, Chuck E. Cheese's, but DZ was the greatest place you could have a birthday party at.
#23 When you tried to perfect the OG mirror selfie:
And the stains on your mirror were always brutally illuminated by the flash.
#24 You’ll always know Justin Timberlake as the guy from NSYNC:
The best boy band ever!
#25 Trying (and failing MISERABLY) to get your Furby to shut the hell up:
Those things were like fucking cockroaches. They'd survive a nuclear apocalypse.
#26 Rushing home from school so you could jump on AIM and dish about everything that happened earlier in the day:
Also, stalking your crush on it.
#27 And finally, going with your friends on Saturday nights to Blockbuster and picking out a movie to enjoy:
Seriously, Blockbuster nights with your friends or family were the best. (RIP Blockbuster)
