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.

There was a general sense of optimism in society at large. We all genuinely believed we would graduate from school work hard and be rewarded with a fulfilling life, free from financial worries.

IDK, maybe it was youthful ignorance, but it did feel like the world was our oyster. Now, everyone is just SO. ANGRY.

#2

Looking back, the amount of insects. I remember there being insects all over the place when you get outside. I feel like in my country (Netherlands) about 75% of them have died. And this can't be good for nature or us.

#3

Live music ticket prices. I saw Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine for like $20 in 1993.

#4

No subscription bs.

#5

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...

#6

Blockbuster and Pizza Hut on a Friday night.

#7

I liked the huge malls with every store imaginable. All are closed now.

#8

Finding cool stuff at garage sales, flea markets, pawn shops, and antique stores, that was not automatically marked up to whatever the item recently sold for on eBay!

#9

Being disconnected.

#10

How holidays felt (Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.).

#11

You knew where everyone was by finding the house with all the bikes in the front yard. No texts are needed.
