10 reasons the 90s were the best decade ever...

so. 90s music is always my favorite, but right now i'm on a kick that i really wish the 90s would come back in all ways: bad fashion, classic tv shows, the works. here's my 10 reasons why:

10. tamagotchi!!! ok, so my family was too poor to actually get me a tamagotchi, i actually had a nano pet, but nonetheless. this was fantastic. it proved how irresponsible 12-yr-old lovely lindsay was: i always killed the lil critter.

9. tv shows!! i think we can all agree that no tv shows today compare to the classic cheese of the 90s (possibly with the exception of modern family, but even then...).

to name a few:

boy meets world

full house...

who loves orange soda?!?! kel loves orange soda. is it true???? mmmmhmmmm, i do i do i do-ooo!

technically first aired in 1989, but does anything sum up entertainment in the 90s better than seinfeld???

the list could go on and on. in fact that could in and of itself be a separate blog post. hmmm.....

8. super hero movies were cheesy to the extreme. prime example: batman forever. classic zoom on the "bat buns." some great one-liners from jim carrey (i can see your mind, freak!). some over-acting from chris odonnell. val kilmer wearing a turtle neck on a date w/ nicole kidman (probably not the best wardrobe choice). and so on :) 

7. grunge. both as a clothing style and music style.

6. Pogs!! best recess game ever....oh wait, i'm not entirely sure we ever actually played the game. i think we just talked about them and traded them. still upset that my mom threw them all away.

5. Boy Bands!!! Love me some NSync!!!

This I Promise You. My fave!!!

4. Princess Di and Mother Teresa were still alive and doing some of their most influential work :)

3. Clearly the best gaming systems ever: Sega Genesis and Nintendo.

2. The Rachel Haircut (not to mention Friends in general!!!). this one time i went to get the rachel haircut for the first day of 7th grade. some [insert favorite choice word here] chopped a chunk out of the side of my hair. needless to say i practically ended up with a bull cut for 7th grade. my dream to still have rachel hair continues today:

1. Probably the best part of the 90s is the greatness of SNL at the time. The cast was phenom for so long in the 90s!!

Well, this was a lovely time of reminiscing for me. What are your favorite parts of the 90s??
