“What 45-Year-Olds Looked Like”: 50 Funny ’90s Posts And Memes To Jog The Best Memories Of Your Childhood (New Pics)
Ah, the good old '90s... When our biggest worries included whether or not we'd manage to record our favorite song off the radio and onto tape before the DJ started speaking again. We didn't have streaming services or iTunes back then. But boy, did we have fun.
Before Wi-Fi, influencers and TikTok dances burst onto the scene, the '90s blessed us with the golden age of dial-up tones, Tamagotchis, VHS movies, Spice Girls and some very questionable (neon) fashion choices. Back then, social media wasn't a thing and memes weren't flooding our timelines. But, even if we didn't realize it at the time, the raw material for them was everywhere.
Now, thanks to online communities like r/90s, we get to relive our awkward youth through a bunch of hilarious and relatable memes. The page has more than 363,000 members sharing their favorite blasts from the past. It reads like a love letter to the decade that shaped a whole generation's sick sense of humor. And showcases an era that was way more iconic than many of us give it credit for.
Bored Panda has put together some of our favorite memes and posts shared by the group for anyone who lived through the Windows 95 start-up sound, and survived the chaos of the Y2k end-of-world panic. So dust off your Beanie Babies, slap bracelets, Sega consoles and Walkmans, and prepare to laugh your way through a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

I burned a CD for my dad once, five or so years ago, and one of the songs he wanted was called "Hot for Teacher". I downloaded all the songs without listening to them first, burned the CD, and we were listening to it in the car when all of a sudden moaning filled the car. I'm about 14 or 15 at this point, and my little sister was in the car, so naturally I'm mortified but also extremely confused as to what happened. Eventually the song starts properly, and it turned out I'd downloaded an MP3 of the music video, or something. We skipped that song every time it came on after that.

One of the strangest things in 90's music is that noone noticed that they came from right wing extremism. Hey, those people are making funky dancefloor, they cannot possibly be N**i... Ulf Ekberg was a member of the neonazi band "commit suiside" and a very active right wing extremist. If you look at the video of "All That She Wants", It is full of badly hidden antisemitic symbolism (only the vid, not the song itself). But seeing their songs were really unpolitical, maybe they, especially Ekberg, had really left that times behind, as they claimed later. As a group, Ace of Base actually distanced themselves from extremism. Maybe it really just WAS an Error of his youth.

If it hadn't said that was Lindsay Lohan in the second pic, I wouldn't have known who it was. The homogeneity people go for with plastic surgeries is so sad. People completely erase their identities.

Walmart was still just Walmart back in the day. There were far better stores. Now Walmart is something to be avoided and I haven't been in one in a long time. I just go there to use the photo printers because it's much easier and cheaper than doing that at Staples.

My daughter and son used to run over and plop down next to me to watch this show...and Theodore Tugboat...Shining Time Station...what a joy that was... Those hours are the only ones I would re-live if I had the chance. Thankfully, they live close enough to spend days with us even now. Go Lunette! Ringo Starr! Didi Conn! and so many more. Thanks for reminding me of those days!
