If you grew up in the โ90s, this list is about to hit you with a full nostalgia attack ๐ญ
A website just ranked the best fads of the 1990sโฆ and somehow, somehowโฆ
๐ Macarena took the #1 spot ๐๐
Yes, THAT dance.
The one that forced an entire generation to awkwardly move their arms at weddings, school dances, and birthday parties.
๐ผ Here are the other iconic โ90s fads that made the list
๐ Pogs
Tiny cardboard circles that somehow controlled the economy of every elementary school lunch table.
๐ธ Grunge music & style
Flannel shirts, ripped jeans, and pretending you totally understood the lyrics of Nirvana songs ๐
๐ฆ Super Soakers
Neighborhood warfare reached its peak in the โ90s.
๐ JNCO Jeans
The jeans so wide they could legally count as studio apartments.
๐ฎ Nintendo Game Boy
If you had one of these, you WERE the cool kid.Especially if you had extra batteries ๐
๐งฅ Starter Jackets
Basically the status symbol of every school hallway.
โจ Slap Bracelets
A fashion accessory and a minor safety hazard.
๐บ Ska music somehow made the list too
The ranking also shouted out โthird-wave skaโ bands like:
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Reel Big Fish
No Doubt
Less Than Jake
So yesโฆ someone out there still owns a checkerboard wallet.
๐งธ Other legendary โ90s obsessions
Beanie Babies ๐งธ
Rollerblades ๐ผ
At one point people really thought stuffed animals would fund retirement plans ๐
๐บ And honestlyโฆ they missed a few
People online are already saying the list shouldโve included:
Saved by the Bell ๐บ
Beverly Hills, 90210
Buffy the Vampire Slayer ๐ง
Gangsta rap & hip-hop fashion ๐ค
Because the โ90s really were a whole cultural moment.
๐ค Final thought
Honestlyโฆ every generation has trends that make absolutely no sense looking back.
But the โ90s?The โ90s were DIFFERENT ๐
