First – let me be clear. Growing up in the 90’s didn’t make us special. I’m not mad at these “damn kids today” because they don’t know what dial-up is. I’m thrilled for them. It was horrible. Nobody deserves that.
Nevertheless, it hits some sweet, sweet spot in the brain to let memes transport us back to a time in our history that seems to have been curated entirely by that orange Nickelodeon blob guy.
I wonder what he’s up to. I hope he’s found work. Let’s reminisce with some 90’s memes in his honor.

Well, realizing how long ago all of this happened makes me think I should probably go join AARP.
While I’m gone, tell me in the comments what your favorite distinctly 90’s thing was.
