20 Pictures That Are Painfully Familiar To Everyone Who Lived Through The '90s

By Moojan |

If your childhood was filled with rainbows and butterflies, please do not scroll down this page because it has nothing to do with you.

But if you're part of the majority who occasionally cringe when taking a trip down memory lane, you will "enjoy" these next few images.

20. Heelys and Crocs existed in the late 90s. If you purchased one, you're probably so embarrassed right now. If you didn't, you thought about it, so you're pretty embarrassed about that.

Even adults in the late '90s and early '00s thought about buying these footwear.  

If you put jewels in your crocs, you're probably shuddering so violently right now. I apologize for bringing back those memories.

19. When you said "talk to the hand, 'cause the face ain't listening."

Then everyone around you said "OHHHHHHH." But really, 'Oh' for what?

18. But your best comeback was "Yo' Momma!"

17. Your first Internet username.

If it had something to do with your favorite tv show, sport, animal, number, or some variation of your name, you just hope that it's been deactivated.

16. Guys with this hairstyle:

"Style"

15. Or if your hair was long, it always looked like an intentional mess.

Half-curly is not the way to go. Make up your mind!

14. Unisex clothes that said: "I'm cold...but I'm also hot!"

13. "Smoking" Popeye's candy sticks.

12. Crying over being the murderer in Clue.

11. Or having the WORST life ever on The Game of Life.

10. Having a stamp, coin, or trading card collection that you obsessed about.

Take a deep breath, then keep going and shudder some more.

9. Kids nowadays say "YOLO," but we used to say "take a chill pill." Then we'd pop a tic-tac or something.

For the record, neither are cool.

8. This was such a waste of money.

I had a link that said "live, love, laugh," a cute dog, a sun, a Virgo sign, and then I didn't have enough money to purchase more. Did you finish yours?

7. You said "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto" for no apparent reason.

6. You took these mood rings way too seriously.

5. You had a feeling it was a bad idea, but everyone had them so you bought it anyway.

4. Blond tips.

Those beaded necklaces too.

3. What are those?

Seriously... What were those?

And these.

2. It was also very important for guys to tell the world what their favorite show was, because we obviously were dying to know that information, without having to ask them.

1. Family photos. Family photos. Family photos.

Honestly any group photo that is not digitized.

We apologize for bringing back these memories.  

We'd love to know what childhood memory makes you cringe the most! Let us know in the comments.

Top 3 Gambling Movies Of The Noughties

By Brian
The 2000s was a huge decade in terms of world events, cultural breakthroughs and the steady advance of technology. In music it was the decade that Beyoncé broke through, making Crazy In Love arguably the defining song of her career. On TV The Office changed the face of comedy forever, going on to reach even greater heights than its UK debut when it underwent a US transformation and introduced Dunder Mifflin to the world. It was also the decade that saw the very first iPod launched, changing forever the way that we buy and listen to music.It was also

Mike Meyers Shared An Update About 'Austin Powers 4' And It's Totally "Groovy, Baby"

By Tanya
When you think of the ultimate man of mystery, who do you think of? James Bond? No of course not. Ethan Hunt? Nope, not even close. The obvious answer is Austin Powers. When Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery came out back in 1997, it felt almost like there was a shift in the world. Suddenly, this ridiculous comedy became all anyone could talk about. It was unexpected, but you know what, it was worth it because the movie was awesome. Making references and jokes to the movie became common place, and you couldn't really ever say the words "one

All of us who would consider ourselves to be 80s and 90s kids aren't really that old, right? We are still in the prime of our lives, and a lot of us still feel like we're just getting started on our path to being a "real grown-up." Maybe it's not the greatest that a lot of us still feel young, but times have changed since our parents were in their 30s. We've learned how to chill out and take our time in our lives. There's no rush, so let's all just relax and try to stay young longer.Here's the

Remembering NFL in the 90's

NFL in the 90s. The Golden Years of FootballIf you can cast your mind back to what the NFL was like in the 90’s, you can perhaps remember some of the great teams and players of the time, not to mention some of the important milestones as well. Maybe you remember the Dallas Cowboys winning three Super Bowls in four years or when the Denver Broncos won a perfect season in 1998. Of course, there are plenty of memorable player moments too. Like when Dan Marino won the title of the best all-time passing leader. Or when Jerry Rice

Brace Yourself: The Backstreet Boys Released A New Song And Are Going On A World Tour

By Tanya
The Backstreet Boys have been one of the biggest bands in the country, well, the world for several decades now. After getting their start in the early 90s, they've managed to be one of the very few bands that has stuck together and continued performing. They didn't need a big reunion, because they didn't break up. Well, let's just pretend like that whole Kevin fiasco didn't happen. But anyways, they've been putting out music and performing together for 25 years now, and they have no intention of stopping. To be fair, they did warn of this two decades ago. They

Lip Smacker's New Christmas Collection Brings Back Your 90s Favorites. All Of Them.

By Tanya
If there was one product that you had to pick that would best represent what it was like to be a preteen in the 90s, I think a lot of us girls would agree that Lip Smackers would be the best choice. These little tubes of oftentimes glittered, scented, colorful lip-balm made us all feel like the fanciest of ladies, totally ready to grab our purses and do whatever it is that our moms did when they weren't paying attention to us. You had so many different choices too. You'd have a classic berry scented red Lip Smacker, you'd have
