People Are Recalling The '90s Trends That Somehow Haven't Come Back In Style Yet, And I Forgot Some Of These KoOoOol Things Existed
If you grew up in the '90s, you may vividly remember how wild some of the trends were. While some of the trends actually came back in 2023 — think: slip dresses and chokers — there are a few that are still in the vault to yet make an appearance.
So when I saw Reddit u/MediumRareTaint user ask: "What’s a '90s fad that hasn’t come back in style yet?" I thought it would be fun to "go back in time" and recall what used to be popular. Here are some of the trends below.
1."Remember when we went absolutely nuts for yo-yos for a bit?"
"I’m a 5th-grade teacher and yo-yos are weirdly SUPER popular right now with a big group of students. We went on a special overnight field trip a few weeks ago which the kids have looked forward to for years, and a handful of students barely engaged with the activities because they were so obsessed with yo-yoing."
2."Clear see-through electric devices."
3."Novelty landline phones."
"I had one that was a jumping orca and the base was glass water splashes.
Every time a friend called the whole house reverberated with 'AAAOOOUUUUUWWWW EEEEUUUUUOOORRRRRRRR AHHHHHOOOOOOOHHHHHHH.'
Friends didn't call often for some reason."
4."Pogs."
"I was living recklessly back then, I had a fucking pog maker. The possibilities were endless."
5."Frosted tips!"
6."Music on MTV."
7."Chain Wallets. Everyone had one of those bad boys in high school."
8."Jncos."
9."My Tamagotchi is still dead."
"My Neopet is still alive. It’s begging for the sweet mercy of death but it’s alive."
10."Hypercolor shirts."
11."Not a fad I guess, but I miss that '90s design that was on cups. Kinda hard to describe without showing a picture but, hopefully, someone knows what I mean. lol."
"That design was called Jazz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(design)."
"I can taste this picture."
12."Overalls with one buckle undone."
13."Inflatable furniture!"
14."Tying your flannel shirt around your waist."
15."Creative cereal flavors with a hearty oat or rice base and actual prizes in the box (none of that generic, corn-based birthday cake flavor for every licensed cereal)."
16."Platform flip flops. Really nice for us short folk."
17."Slap bracelets."
18."Flip shades!!! Omg!! Those were the shit in the early '90s!"
19."Beanie Babies."
