11 Timeless Treasures From The ‘90s That People Wish Were Still Around

I was born in 1994, so I'm technically a '90s kid. I wasn't into Nirvana, Pearl Jam, or wearing flannel shirts – I was simply too young. But I remember thinking Space Jam was the coolest movie ever and that wearing wide-leg jeans was the epitome of fashion. Now, after my generation grew up, we're remembering things with rosy nostalgia glasses. 

Technology that's obsolete now seems like cool gadgets to own, and movies that we once denounced as "childish" have become comfort watches. There are lots of things from the '90s and the early 2000s that people wish would make a comeback. So, when one person online recently asked, "What do you miss the most from the '90s/2000s?", thousands of folks had an answer ready.

Common sense and respect from strangers. Society is so damn stupid and judgemental these days, especially in our younger generations. Technology is destroying a human's basic functions...
