The 90's are back

Tweet

I'm a child of the 90's, and to me my childhood brings some of the best memories I have. I've noticed the 90's have been becoming a popular decade recently, and I never imagined people would be looking back at the 90's the way my classmates and myself looked at the 70's when we were in HS. I don't feel as though the 90's were that long ago, probably because I'm not yet 30. It doesn't feel like songs from my generation should be considered classics, or that TV shows I grew up watching should be on Nick at Nite. The 90's are making a huge comeback, and in the midst of all of it I find myself going down memory lane and feeling like a kid again. I see them bringing back popular toys from my childhood, only these toys are poor imitations of the toys I played with. They are no where near as cool as the toys I remember. I don't know why we bring back certain decades after so many years, I look back at the 90's with fondness, but it feels weird to see people who weren't even alive in the 90's trying to recreate it. Not to say that's a bad thing, it's just odd. I often laugh at how these kids think the 90's looked like, probably the same way people who lived through the 70's laughed at us recreating their decade. It's kind of fun reminiscing with friends, and pulling out old childhood pictures and laughing at our clothes, some from before we were dressing ourselves, and making statements about how our parents must have hated us. I was born in 1987 so my first real memories are from the 90's. I have a few memories of the 80's but nothing big just little clips from 89 when I was 2. I always look back at that time with a smile, and it's kind of neat to be able to try and relive it, and tease some of today's children about how they're doing the 90's wrong. I wonder if in 20 years the 2010's will be popular?
