Ah, the 90s.
It was a magical era when parachute pants and scrunchies were the height of sophistication.
And these five women told you everything you needed to know about feminism.
Everything we 90s kids know about life and love, we learned from the Spice Girls. Zig-a-zig-ah.
Everyone was talking about a new little invention called the World Wide Web. Kale wasn’t around to ruin every meal, and Justin Bieber was in nappies and definitely not on our TV or in our radio.
The biggest teen heartthrobs of the 90s: where are you now?
Basically, it was paradise. Right?
You know you’re a 90s kid if you recognise these things…
You owned Tencel jeans and 17 other signs you ruled fashion in the 90s.
1. TV.
Fact: the 90s were the golden era of TV. There, I’ve said it. Stuff Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones – they’ve got nothing on these gems. Don’t believe me? Let me refresh your memory.
90s TV.
Gladiators.
Have you ever, ever felt like this? We need Round the Twist back on our screens.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - where our lifelong love of Will Smith began...
Two words: Hermes Endakis. Ship to Shore was unmissable TV.
Screech might have been arrested for stabbing a guy in a barfight, but it doesn't change our love for Saved by the Bell.
Beverly Hills 90210. So racy. So addictive.
2. MOVIES.
It was also a brilliant time for movies. Sure, we had to deal with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond, but apart from that, 90s movies were genius.
90s movies.
Liv Tyler. Renée Zellweger. Empire Records has it all.
If you didn't watch The Craft at a sleepover, you didn't experience the 90s.
The Craft.
Romeo + Juliet made us actually care about Shakespeare. That aquarium scene...
Romy and Michele's High School Reunion - the movie that made Post-It notes a cultural icon.
My Girl still makes us ugly cry to this day.
George of the Jungle made Brendan Fraser's career.
Oh Heath. 10 Things I Hate About You was basically perfect.
3. MUSIC.
Come on – it was the era of boy and girl bands and cheesy dance beats. All Saints and the Backstreet Boys shit all over Chet Faker. And I dare you to listen to Ace of Base and NOT sing along.
90s music.
We didn't know about Girl Power until there was the Spice Girls.
MMM Bop was nonsense but Hanson captured our hearts.
Before JT was JT, he was the curly-haired guy from 'N Sync.
For the alternative types, there was Nirvana. 90s grunge at its finest.
4. STYLE.
The eyebrows were over plucked. The lips were heavily lined. And the hair – crimped within an inch of its life. In fact, 90s style was so good it’s making a comeback. Minus the hats with the turned up brim…
90s style.
Chunky platforms. Height of style.
How could you tell if you were happy or sad without a mood ring?
Overalls - the baggier the better.
Crushed velvet, goth-style.
If butterfly clips were good enough for Sarah Michelle Gellar, they were good enough for us.
Flowers in hats. Flowers everywhere.
I was a late 90s Cigarette Girl.
5. FADS.
You can keep your yolos and your sushi and your Bratz Dolls. The 90s had the best fads of all time. OF ALL TIME.
90s fads.
Troll dolls - kind of creepy, but we didn't care.
