Nostalgia has a place in everyone's hearts, but no one floods the internet with their sentiments about the past as much as 90s kids. The 90s, after all, were a magical time when playing silly games outside all day met the development of modern technologies that have shaped and molded us into who we are now. And proud about it we are. However, since no age group spends online as much time as we do, cut us some slack, why don't you?

Many things made our childhood special — the CD player that wouldn't fit into any pocket, the legendary Tamagotchi, and hilarious 90s fashion that seem to have re-born nowadays quite seriously and not in the form of hilarious memes (much to our dismay). Most of these 90s nostalgia relicts are hardly available now, so we have to keep their memories alive. And what better way to do so than creating funny memes? Scroll down to check out the nostalgic selection of 90s trend that will instantly send every kid of the decade down the memory lane and upvote your favorites.

Coming from a non-English background, these really helped understand the lyrics.

I do that with my vinyls when I listen to them—just read off the sleeve

Yep the album sleeves were so much easier to read than cassette liners. Fun times.

Every once in a while you'd get an album that didn't have the lyrics. Those were all disappointments.

Being hard of hearing and now almost deaf I seek out anything with captions and they are amusing there are so many mistakes you have to guess what they mean, love seeing lyrics I had my own words to songs it surprises me when I see the actual words.

Cassettes were invented in the early 60s, & mainly big in the 70s & 80s, they are not a 90s thing really. CDs had already become more popular by the early 90s.

Weirdly I didn't really grow up with casettes. My parents had a fair amount of vinyl and CDs but only a few casettes.

Casette inserts? You had to grow up in the 80s and earlier to still see those. :-D

I was unaware that there were lyrics even though I was always staring at them. I secretly think I was illiterate despite going to schooo until I was sentient enough to be an adult. Lol

And the pain of tape coming out, and then you have to put the reel in through clocking in via pen or pencil.

The real issue was what little boys did at the top of the slide after dark. Also, how the hell are playground slides a "90's" thing?

Gah! I used to open this and clean the inside all of the time. It drove me up a wall if the little rollers inside got caked with gunk and my cursor wouldn't move smoothly.

My sister had one and then some random kid stole it when we were at a caravan park. It was the end of the world for her.

When I grew up we didn't had such money to afford SONY. But there came another brand which copied sony and made these things accessible to many people - "AIWA". Does anyone else remember that brand ?

Worse with the ones that fall really slowly. The start of it wakes you up, then you spend the following 10 mins frozen in bed, trying to distinguish what the sound was and if you were actually still asleep or not lol

Well there was a time when i got a whole set of colors ( bear headed crayons, markers, water colors, pencil colors) and that was the happiest day of my life since that was my very first time I started my journey as an artist.. but one of my classmate stole it.. he freaking stole it.. -_- and this was back when I was in 1st grade and he didn't admit he stole it and i never saw my own art kit again..

Nsync, Back Street Boys, U2, Nirvana, Metallica, Guns n Roses, The Verve, Savage Garden, Santana and hundreds of such more awesome bands. Thousand times better then todays crappy EDM and other techno nonsense. Glad to be born in that era. And Sorry how can I forget BRYAN ADAMS.
