The ’90s Are Back… And Somewhere Your JNCO Jeans Are Still Taking Up Half the Closet

If you grew up in the 1990s, congratulations: your childhood is officially cool again. Gen X’ers and older Millennials are now watching their kids bring back trends we thought disappeared along with dial-up internet and mall food courts.

A new list ranking the best fads of the ’90s has gone viral, and somehow “The Macarena” landed at number one. Which means there’s a strong chance someone reading this just instinctively moved their arms side-to-side while hearing the song in their head. 

The list also included some absolute legends of the decade:

• Pogs
• Grunge music and flannel everything
• Super Soakers
• JNCO jeans big enough to hide a microwave
• Nintendo Game Boy
• Starter jackets
• Slap bracelets
• Ska bands like No Doubt, Reel Big Fish, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones
• Beanie Babies
• Rollerblades

Honestly, the ’90s were chaos in the best possible way. One minute you were trying to hatch a Tamagotchi… the next you were recording songs off the radio onto a cassette tape while yelling “DON’T TALK!” at everyone in the house.

And let’s be honest… this list left out some heavy hitters.

What about:

 “Saved By The Bell”
 “Beverly Hills, 90210”
 “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”
 Gangsta rap and oversized hip-hop fashion
 Nintendo 64 sleepovers
 Tony Hawk skateboard culture
 Squeezing a Capri Sun until it exploded across the kitchen

The funniest part? Teenagers are now wearing the same clothes we got roasted for wearing in 1997. Somewhere, a dad in Mid-Michigan is staring at his kid’s baggy jeans thinking, “I KNEW I should’ve kept my wardrobe.”

So now we want to know…
