Below, you’ll find some of the best memes that have been shared on the Only 90s Kids Know Instagram account. Be sure to upvote the pics that transport you back to childhood, and keep reading to find a conversation with the page’s creator Jonathan Miller! “I felt trapped in my tiny Brooklyn apartment, and I had no clue what the future held. At this point in time, I had been working in growth marketing and community building for about 12 years for both large and small companies,” Jonathan explained. “2 years prior to Covid, I decided to take a leap of faith and offer my services on a freelance basis to brands/companies/musicians around New York.” “I start reminiscing about better times, specifically my childhood in the 90s,” the creator continued. “I realized that I can’t be the only person who just wishes we could go back to better times and escape our current reality. I took my professional experience and decided to create @onlyninetieskidsknow to test the waters.” Jonathan says that around the time he hit 10k followers, he launched a website that sold nostalgic items such as pogs, fingerboards, enamel pins and other 90s toys. “The website started selling out, and I couldn’t keep up,” he shared. “Within 2 years I had 275,000 Instagram followers and 16,000 orders placed on the website.” Around this time, Jonathan also sold the page to Almost Friday Media. He still manages 100% of the creative direction and makes all of the posts; they just own the account. “But if you’re twisting my arm and I have to choose one thing, I’d say it was the carefree attitude we all seemed to have,” Jonathan shared. “A typical weekend day in my childhood went like this: Wake up and have cereal with my cartoons. Go outside, meet up with my friends and ride bikes, skate, explore the woods, go to the pool, get into trouble, etc. No phones, no worries about anything.” If younger generations want to familiarize themselves with the 90s, Jonathan says movies are an excellent place to start. “Although sometimes exaggerated to what it was really like, many films are a snapshot of the time,” he told Bored Panda. “Us Millennials could talk about the 90s all day. So please join in on the convo if you’re younger and curious,” Jonathan shared. “We’d love to tell you why N64 was superior to Playstation 1 or why Brink and Johnny Tsunami are the best Disney Channel original movies. We could go on for hours.” Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda! Please use high-res photos without watermarks Ooops!
