25 pictures that will take 90s kids on a bittersweet nostalgic trip back in the time

Just like every other decade gone by, the 90s was special in its own way. Every millennial will argue with you that the 90s was the best era ever, thanks to its effect on pop culture and society as a whole. Those who grew up in this time period are probably the last generation that had a childhood without the internet being a crucial part of their lives. The millennials lived through a transitional phase where they were the first ones to witness technological advancement in the world.

There were no smartphones, Hollywood actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Johnny Depp were the ultimate crushes of teen girls and people still had to rent DVDs in order to watch their favorite shows and films once again. Bubblegum pop was on the rise and artists like Britney Spears and boybands like Backstreet Boys were all the rage in the late 90s. People who grew up in this era mostly donned acid-wash jeans and colorful capri pants, had colorful scrunchies securing their ponytails and butterfly hair clips were in fashion. But those days are long gone. However, the internet serves as a time capsule where we can look back at the good old days and shed drops of tears because we are never getting those simpler times back again. So brace yourself to get hit with a wave of nostalgia as you scroll through these pictures from the aptly named Instagram page of @90sbabiesonly where they curate some of the best pictures and memes that will remind you of the colorful 90s era.
