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.

I try to do this still, but my eyes can't make out the small print. I am going to have to put a special set of reading glasses in there.

So, from reading the comments on this post I now know that most Bored Panda readers are introverts with large libraries who read on the loo, love kittens and dogs, battle with the opposite sex - and have too much time on their hands! There must be a factory somewhere where they make us...

Foaming agent! No-one seems to believe it's cleaning you if it ain't producing the bubbles! I also like it because it sounds like an actress's name "Starring the ever-bubbly Sodium Laureth Sulphate!".

Johanna Kidd Finally, someone who agrees with me! I think it's disgusting to take your phone to the toilet with you and then you use it at the same time when eating your meals.

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
