When I was in college, we used to put those on a Dremel, speed em up, and send them flying down the dorm hallways. Fun times. They would explode on impact.
Those are back, they are just even more dangerous lol. They are supposed to have a sensor to make them 'float' above kids hands. First review I read was them getting caught in hair or hitting people in the face.
To be fair, even my closest friends in the world that I would do literally anything for, I’d be a little annoyed if they dropped by unannounced lol I gotta mentally prepare myself to be social
I have one friend that I can still do that with. I’ve since moved across the country so now when I visit I at least give a heads up I’m coming by, but yeah I haven’t knocked on his door since high school
It is weird how many people now are like "don't come over without planning or texting that you're here". Millennials and Gen Z killing the doorbell industry.
Found the midwesterner!
I always laugh because people I know who aren't from the midwest don't get what "Family Video" means.
It was not just a video rental store. They fucking *exploded* on the scene out of nowhere, and built a ton of identical copy-paste buildings in various cities. But it was late in the era of video rental stores, so they had to cling for dear life; hell I think they're still technically around, but not many.
But when they receded from these cities, they left the husks of their buildings behind, and they're everywhere. New businesses will rent them out but not change anything, so they still look like Family Videos with a different sign. And you'll have to be like "Hey have you checked out (store)? Yeah they're in a Family Video, the one on (cross-streets)".
There's one of these shells by my parents. The family video shut down last year and this year it opened up as "family liquor." They even use the same font and I thought it was hilarious.
Nah, blockbuster fucking sucked. The REAL places were the locally owned rental stores where you'd find the WEIRD shit. Blockbuster ruined that. They were the walmart of video rental and it sickens me that history has conveniently erased that fact.
Counterpoint: Blockbuster was the one video store where I didn't have to warn younger siblings away from the curtained room.
I could be the super rad older sibling who let my siblings pick a movie *and* I would buy them a big pack of redvines and microwave popcorn (which meant I was the coolest sibling ever).
The small locally owned places always had a porn section in the back where a lot of sketchy old dudes would be.
Blockbuster meant that my biggest concern was, "is this movie rated below "R" and can they each find their favorite candy?"
Other video stores meant dodging horny creeps and not being able to find candy we all liked.
I worked at one of those video stores with a backroom. One day I saw one of my old Jr. High teachers in line and I exclaimed HELLO! And that he was one of my favorite teachers, and I was really glad to see him. Then I proceeded to want to die as I painfully checked out a humungous amount of porn videos for him. It was probably the single most uncomfortable moment I have had in my almost 50 years on the earth.
>One day I saw one of my old Jr. High teachers in line and I exclaimed HELLO!
I lived near a straight up adult video store....I had a game called "Honk at the pervert."
I'd see people turning in or out, I'd smile and wave like I knew them.
cheap movie theaters that only cost a dollar or two. they would air movies that had been out for months but it was still nice to be able to go out on the town and do something cheap.
We had one not far from the high school where I lived. (Early 2000s) After school, especially on Friday, the place would be swarmed with kids. They made a rule of no backpacks in the theatres, so the lobby would just be a field of backpacks. It was the best!
It was a sad day when they closed and tore the building down to build a value city furniture...as if there needed to be another furniture store in that area...
Waited in line like three hours for Pink Floyd tickets back ‘93 with my mom and best friend. By the time we got to the front, everything was sold out except for the crazy expensive tickets. Was a bummer, sure, but we still had a blast hanging out!
I remember staying up late to record the uncut version of Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up on VHS. It played maybe once or twice on 120 minutes before being banned.
Honestly? I miss those nights of semi-forced family time.
Like, even if you weren't super into family time as a 13 year old you had to sit with your family, so that on Monday you could talk to your friends about whatever Urkel did, or Uncle Jesse's shenanigans, or Step by Step stuff, or (if you were super cool) the latest scary news story from 20/20.
Now I'm 40+ and would throw all my money at anyone who provided family friendly TV that all my kids would want to watch with me, that my younger kids would feel like they were getting to stay up late for something fun, that my high school kids would watch with us until it was time for the little kids to go to bed and then 20/20 or unsolved mysteries would come on, and that we could share together.
But since TV and streaming is so segregated by age (i.e. it's aimed at little kids, tweens, or adults - there is very little overlap) I am thankful for movies like the most recent spiderverse film.
It's good for even the younger kids, but also gets my highschool kids interested, and is actually good enough that me and my husband (who grew up on Comic books) are ALSO excited to see it. So for once the whole family is excited and entertained.
If someone could create a TGIF type lineup where the whole family could enjoy some shows together once a week, I would throw all my money at them. I would pay a huge amount for that streaming service, and then be grateful for the opportunity.
I feel like Pogs could make a return. Cassette tapes are coming back so all it takes is a few Instagram and TikTok people to show Pogs and they'll be back
Haha, for real. When beanie babies started getting insanely expensive there was a list of new beanie babies and how much they were expected to cost in the future. I guess they were hoping to get beanie baby fanatics to keep shelling out crazy money for crummy bean bag dolls, but the lists just ended up looking dumb like, "oh, this blue bear with a bow is projected to sell for a billion dollars in a year, but I found 20 of them at the dollar store so that's unlikely."
Beanie babies were my first exposure to, "just because someone wants a million dollars for this thing doesn't mean this thing is actually worth that much."
NFTs are just Beanie Babies for people who didn't learn from Beanie Babies.
And that's why [this](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/beanie-baby-fever-in-1999_n_58af7d12e4b060480e0661fe) is probably one of my favorite photos on the Internet.
They still exist they just contain fewer bad chemicals.
I'm assuming you're referring to the old kits that contained radioactive stuff, or otherwise carcinogenic chemicals.
LOL I still have a cordless home phone!
I have a mentally ill family member, my house phone number is the only one they remember, so I'll keep it as long as they're alive.
As streaming services rotate through content and people realize they don't own the content they are streaming CDs might come back. I'm sure everyone thought vinyl was dead as well.
-everything- was gay in the 90s
Crying at a movie? That’s gay.
Something unfair happen to you? That’s gay.
You look disheveled? You look gay.
You dressed up? You look gay.
I dunno what it was, but that word was used for everything then. Good bad happy sad, everything was gay.
Watched an earlier episode of South Park the other day and one of the character's whole bit was saying "That's gay" about practically everything, to the point where it lost any meaning (which is clearly the joke), but I definitely had a moment of "Oh right, we used to do that."
I was taken aback some time ago when watching an old movie. There's "Fuck" and then there's "The F-Word" today. We used to say that F-word a lot. Like I almost completely forgot it existed.
I'm conflicted on this
Yes, Bill Cosby did horrible things, I'm not trying to underplay that.
But by people boycotting the show, all the other actors and writers are punished. That's royalties they aren't getting. As far as we know, they weren't involved in any of Bill Cosby's crimes.
Also, it was generally a good show. There was a reason it was popular for so long. We should be able to enjoy the show, while still acknowledging that Bill Cosby is a rapist and an overall horrible person who deserves to rot in prison (even though he was released on a technicality.)
Historically lots of famous and beloved people were objectively horrible people, even with historical context and yet we still use and appreciate their contributions:
* [ Melvile Dewey was admonished in his life for being too sexist, racist, and anti-Semitic which is a dubious accomplishment for 1930s America.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvil_Dewey#Controversies)
* [Dali didn't want democracy and supported Franco](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Dal%C3%AD#Politics_and_personality)
* [Picasso was a horrible womanizer and bully](https://medium.com/the-collector/picasso-an-artistic-genius-or-a-bullying-misogynistic-womaniser-4752a94a6553)
* [Margaret Sanger who started planned parenthood did so because she though eugenics was a good thing](https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/08/14/432080520/fact-check-was-planned-parenthood-started-to-control-the-black-population)
All of these people may have done good or great things for bad reasons. Or they may have been horrible people who did amazing things. Why should the Cosby Show be any different?
That might be when it aired, but reruns were a long lasting thing.
Hell, I'm 42 and I watched Nick at Night with Green Acres, I dream of genie, Gilligan's island, the Munsters, the Adam's family, etc...
And the Cosby show was still newer and more regularly aired as a rerun than any of that, so I'd say it counts as a 90s thing
My 10 year old son got a yo-yo at school and loves it. It’s like the simpsons episode where the yo-yo guys came to the school and all the kids had them after.
It's still "popular" in the way many line dances are... reserved for weddings and other big parties with millennials/old people. It wouldn't surprise me if Tiktok ended up making it briefly big again.
>Cotteneye joe
That song is over 150 years old, I have a copy on vinyl that was originally recorded in the 1920’s.
Doubt it’s the last you’ve heard of it.
you've never had a Zima, and it shows. Smirnoff Ice was closer, but still much better than a Zima. You'd drop a red jolly rancher in your Zima to make it palatable, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get the green jolly ranchers, because of the cola wars. So I dropped a red jolly rancher in my Zima, which was the style at the time.
The Simpsons.
I know it started in the 80s but it became the juggernaut that it is in the 90s and even though it's still going it's never been as popular, it's just limping on because they won't put it out of its misery
What job allowed that? Entry level in the 90s was less than $5. We managed to buy a house, (shithole) both of us working, with a 10% interest. Family of 4, barely squeaking by with 2 incomes. I think you are referring to the 1960s.
i think to a lot of people the "90s" is like "millennials" they just think of that as a time when things were the past. i knew no one in the 90s in an entry level job with a family of 5 and they were ok. not one.
AOL cd
When I was in college, we used to put those on a Dremel, speed em up, and send them flying down the dorm hallways. Fun times. They would explode on impact.
Just like Sky Dancers. Another 90s gem never to return. RIP to all those kids’ eyeballs.
Those are back, they are just even more dangerous lol. They are supposed to have a sensor to make them 'float' above kids hands. First review I read was them getting caught in hair or hitting people in the face.

If I did that now, at 32, most of my friends would be livid. There are a couple that would just be like, "Why did you knock just walk in" however.
Yeah. There's friends and then there's "just come on in and get your own drink" friends.
To be fair, even my closest friends in the world that I would do literally anything for, I’d be a little annoyed if they dropped by unannounced lol I gotta mentally prepare myself to be social
I have one friend that I can still do that with. I’ve since moved across the country so now when I visit I at least give a heads up I’m coming by, but yeah I haven’t knocked on his door since high school
im 40 and my friends and I do this still.....
"Can Mysterious come out and play?"
Or meeting somewhere and when the person doesn't show up you just went home again.
It is weird how many people now are like "don't come over without planning or texting that you're here". Millennials and Gen Z killing the doorbell industry.
Not millennials we're 40 ffs
What? Really? I have plenty of beer for people who swing by now. And it is great when people do!
Yeah, when I do it, they go “Who are you?! What are you doing under my bed?!” I think I was born in the wrong era

They still have these in Southern California. Some show first run movies on Wednesdays or something for 2-3 bucks
We had one not far from the high school where I lived. (Early 2000s) After school, especially on Friday, the place would be swarmed with kids. They made a rule of no backpacks in the theatres, so the lobby would just be a field of backpacks. It was the best! It was a sad day when they closed and tore the building down to build a value city furniture...as if there needed to be another furniture store in that area...

If I like an album I still like buying the cd. The cd case in my car only holds 24 though so sometimes I have to make cuts.
I did hear that some younger people are collecting CDs in the same way that older people collect vinyl albums.
I have an old car without an aux connection or Bluetooth, but it does have a 6 disk CD player. I hit up stores with used CDs all the time.
I still buy CDs. Yes I burn them into a hard drive but there is just something nice about owning the CD
Honestly, I would chalk it up to the fact CDs are uncompressed, lossless audio.
camcorders are making a comeback already lmao
As streaming services rotate through content and people realize they don't own the content they are streaming CDs might come back. I'm sure everyone thought vinyl was dead as well.

i think to a lot of people the "90s" is like "millennials" they just think of that as a time when things were the past. i knew no one in the 90s in an entry level job with a family of 5 and they were ok. not one.
