90 Pics That Totally Sum Up The 90s
The 1990s were an absolutely vibrant decade. MTV, Nickelodeon, Toys R Us, KMart, Mervyns, Super Soakers, Hip-Hop, Grunge, Alternative Rock, neon colors, annoying commercials – it was a strange and loud time and a golden era to be a kid or young adult. So much of the media was geared toward cashing in on new countercultures, yet it still maintained a lot of the 80s flair for celebrity.
This was incredibly fun for me to make, and I hope it’s just as fun to look at. So jump in our time machine; we’re headed to the 90s!
