There was a time in my life when my biggest decision was whether I wanted a Ring Pop or a Push Pop from the gas station. I wore windbreakers louder than my actual voice, and my prized possessions included a Ninja Turtles Lunchbox (with included thermos) and a glow-in-the-dark yo-yo. My thumbs were sore from button-mashing on an N64 controller after just watching the daily episode of TRL.
If you were lucky enough to grow up before phones got smart, then you already know: the 90s were peak everything. Peak fashion (please see: overalls and butterfly clips), peak technology (I would die for my translucent purple Game Boy), and peak drama (People still aren’t over Ross and Rachel’s “break”). These photos are basically a time machine back to an era when your AIM away message was as important as life itself.
So grab a Capri Sun, hit play on that ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ CD, and get ready to remember what real freedom looked like.
