KrulsprietjeWhat’s one word to prove you lived trough the 90’s?
Whatever.
It’s MY UNITED STATES OF WHATEVER!!! 🤘🎸

richieadlerI survived idiocy of managers asking for Y2K compliant padlocks. As in, physical padlocks.
Hope you charged them double.
“We gotta get the Locksmith to come out and replace the microchips. Yeah, it’s going to be expensive but worth it”
Please tell us they did this… 😂
I mean, I wasn’t in charge of getting them, but learning about it was painful enough. I was young, and faith in humanity hadn’t been burned out of me yet.
Nukemin HerttuaI remember the info campaign of my country’s change of currency when it got pegged to the Deutschmark after it did a Venezimbabwe. It was by a popular children’s/teen tv show host.
I was about 2 or 3 but the only thing I remember is the news anchors repeating the word “Chechen” all the time. I understood nothing but it sounded funny.
We had a stereo with an inbuilt vinyl record player, as well as cassette tape player.
I played NES games on Terminator-2. Post-soviet collapse flooded the market with knockoffs which were decent for the price.
I remember watching Bill Clinton’s scandal on the news though I had little idea what happened, nor what impeachment meant.
Karlos_CantanaThat’s more than 1 word.
You mean titles are meant to be read? Whoops!
Terminator-2.

And then someone picked up the phone and you had to start all over again
Anyone remember upgrading their modem and getting excited because it made new noises? I can’t be the only one.
TheLemmingWhy did I hear this comment !?! 😂
marshadowDialup
My parents having three computers all with dialup in their newly built house (which they’d constructed) all fighting for the phone line.
They hadn’t taken my advice that they should wire it with Ethernet but I was only like 11 at the time. 😕

Netscape
Linux and Mac users can hold on to a little piece of that history with the wonderful xscreensaver suite (its author, jwz, was a Netscape dude).
Add to that, flying toasters
Jwz! He was like nerd Jesus to us 90s computer geeks
Even better just use Firefox it descended from Netscape Navigator.
RadDevonCame here to say this! My collection is MIA and it still makes me sad thinking about it.
Your parents threw it away
Along with my pokemon cards
hardypartRemember Alf? He’s back! In pog form!
Hey can I come over and slam ur pogs?
Gameboy
Limewire
limewire wasn’t even released until 2000, so i am not sure that’s the best example
Yes but if you used it you were most definitely around in the 90s. Not a lot of infants were on limewire in 2002.
It’s a 00s thing but I understand where you are coming from :)
Sure, but if you used it, you lived through the 90s. Which was the title of the post.
Napster barely qualifies as 90s. Limewire absolutely not. That’s an 00s program

Fahrvergnügen?
Muss wohl.
If you’re going to translate it into German (•_•)
Need about 10 more Z’s
Waaazzzaaaap

Here in the Netherlands I never heard of it!

Rad! Thanks :)
Watskeburt?
Waaaatsgebeuuurrrd!
That ad campaign started in 99, its really more of a 2000’s thing.
Ya, but it proves I lived through the 90’s 😆
JackbyDevThe 90s were from 1995 to 2005. That’s just my opinion. I know it sounds dumb. Many things from 1990 to 1994 feel like the 80’s.
Gadg8eerThat’s the Y2K “lost decade” speaking to you; 1990-1996 was the early 90s, Y2K from 1997 to 2003, and the McBling 00s from 2004 to 2008. I have reason to believe cultural decades started as decades, yet were upended by 1945-65 being The 50s but 1965-69 being the 60s and never been quite on schedule since.
Since the 60s were barely 5 years, there was - apparently - a subtle difference between the early and late 70s, a noticeable difference between the early and late 1980s, and a pronounced difference between 1990, 1994 and 1999. By 2004 a fashion lasted 5 years at best, and 2008 has hardly been a similar year to 2013 or 2019 or 2023.
Outside of America, this is interpreted as a reference to Scary Movie instead of the budweiser ad.
As a European, that’s indeed how I interpreted this.
