90s memes
Okay, stop me if you’ve heard this one. You want to listen to a song, but it’s on a tape, and the tape gets eaten by the boombox, so you have to perform surgery with a pencil. That was my Tuesday! Kids today don’t know the struggle. They don’t know the sound of a modem screaming at you while you try to download a picture of a cat that takes forty-five minutes to load.
These 90s memes are hitting me right in the nostalgia. The Nokia phone? That thing was a weapon. You could drop it off a building and it would still have full battery. And the car accessories? The removable faceplate for the radio? We carried those around like they were nuclear codes! It was a time of tactile technology, brightly colored soda, and the absolute best cartoons. I miss it. I miss it so much.
Dust off your disc binder and grab a Capri Sun, because we’re taking a high-speed (56k) trip down memory lane. This batch is a love letter to the era of physical media, Saturday morning cartoons, and tech that actually survived a drop on the floor.
The Solitaire victory screen is the most satisfying animation in human history. The way the cards bounced? Perfection. And the CD listening station at the store was our Spotify. You stood there for hours with those giant headphones, judging albums by their covers. It was a simpler time.
If you are feeling the urge to buy a Tamagotchi, don’t fight it. Check out retro gaming memes, 90s kid nostalgia, and vintage tech humor for more throwbacks.
