And while I’m happy to be an adult today, I have to admit that I’d love the chance to transport myself back to 1997 and enjoy one more cotton candy Trix yogurt. If you’re a fellow 90s kid who’s in the mood for a blast of nostalgia, you’ve come to the right place, pandas. We took a trip to the 90sKidz90s Instagram page and gathered some of their best memes below. Enjoy scrolling through, and keep reading to find conversations with Chelsea Woodward and Jillian Diaz Cringle, hosts of the Worked For 90s Kids! podcast, and Kathy Kenzora, host of the History of the 90s podcast! But no matter how much time has passed since the 90s, we still remember it like it was yesterday because that period is full of nostalgic memories. That’s why pages like 90sKidz90s on Instagram are such hits. This account, which has amassed an impressive 278k followers since its creation in 2015, can immediately flood visitors with memories from childhood. “From Johnny Tsunami to Britney and Justin’s joutfit, this page is for everyone who still dreams about being on Legends of the Hidden Temple,” the description states. “When we think of the 90s, we think of the beauty of being bored in an analog world. We were the last generation to not have the world at our fingertips, so we had to create our own,” Chelsea and Jillian shared. “A simple question such as, ‘Who was the main actor in that movie?’ could inspire a long debate amongst friends and maybe even a trip to Blockbuster, an adventure.” “We associate so much joy with the 90s. Pop culture had a major boom, the grunge music was amazing, playground equipment was still deadly, the fashion was ridiculous but somehow iconic, and forbidden food items lined the grocery store shelves and our stomachs,” the hosts added. “In February 1990, Nelson Mandela was released from prison as apartheid ended in South Africa, and four years later, he was elected the country’s first Black president,” the host continued. “The Good Friday Agreement ended an era known as The Troubles in Northern Ireland. And peace even seemed possible in the Middle East when Israel and the PLO signed a historic agreement that recognized each other’s right to exist and established the Palestinian Authority.” “After school, Chelsea and her friends would hop on their bikes and explore the woods, or ride to get ice cream, creating silly games born of their imagination along the way,” they shared. “Jill was a classic ‘90s latchkey kid, with afternoons spent watching cartoons and MTV with her sisters, or playing in their backyard. Our parents were never completely sure where we were, we just had to be back before dinner.” “Same sex marriage wasn’t even recognized! Diet culture was just starting its ‘thin is in’ movement, and body positivity was not a notion that would come around for years,” they added. “Sexual harassment in the workplace was tolerated, and girls were told ‘boys will be boys.’ These are just a few things we are glad have started to change since the 90s.” And of course, you can always check out Kathy’s podcast, History of the 90s, on Spotify or Apple Podcasts! “Look for old episodes of Pop-Up Video, Daria, and Total Request Live online,” the hosts added. “Fashion wise - you can’t go wrong with a bucket hat, and Starter Jackets were all the rage."
