Time to start a thread for some 90's loving. Since I grew up in an immigrant household, I really wasn't exposed to American culture til the 90's. Plus, I am in my early 20's so for all intents and purposes, I am a 90's child

Here goes:

Power Rangers (I remember getting into debates about plot lines in the third grade)
The Spice Girls
The Calvin Klein Ads
Jnco Jeans (the ones so baggy you could fit 2 people in the legs)
Dying your hair with kool-aid
Susanne Somers endorsed thigh master and buns of steel
Atkins Diet
Those colored plastic pacifiers
Jerry Springer
The Macarena

Despite the fact that I was fairly sheltered and wasn't allowed to watch a lot of TV or listen to a lot of music...here goes nothing.

Music: Nirvana, Soundgarden, NKOTB, N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Spice Girls
TV: All the TGIF stuff (Step By Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Sabrina the Teenage Witch), all the SNICK/Nickelodeon stuff (All That, Salute Your Shorts, Hey Dude, Global Guts and all the other game shows, Are You Afraid of the Dark, Legends of the Hidden Temple (you can actually watch YouTube episodes of it), Rugrats, Looney Tunes, etc.
The rise of Pokemon
The hottest guys of the time being Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonathan Taylor Thomas
Video Games: Well the N64 was big, as was the Super Nintendo. I remember back when the Game Boy Pocket launched, and when mine broke I got a Game Boy Colour. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Chrono Trigger were HUGE in my house.
Flowery dresses...I had many of them.
Multiple shoelaces
Lots and lots of barrettes
Stirrup leggings (WHAT WAS I THINKING?)
High-waisted jeans (not the fashionable ones of today)
GRUNGE (If you walk around here in Seattle, you can see remnants of it)
Rollerblades/skateboards
Super-flared jeans
Those pony bead geckos (total summer camp thing)
Slap bracelets
Trapper Keepers
Lisa Frank
Yes, the Macarena. Can't forget that! Too bad Who Let The Dogs Out missed the 90's by only a year.
Those shirts that were just blocks of colour...like the top half one and bottom another...there's actually several commercials on TV that are still running from the 90's (Hungry Hungry Hippos, Moon Shoes) that evidence this.
Overalls
The darker, more brownish red shades of lipstick...*cringe*
