Theres literally thousands of websites devoted to nostalgia for each decade but sure, lets go ahead and do it again on a tech forum.
Also, pocket pets were fucking stupid and still are today. Smartphone or otherwise.

Nevermind. Not a 90s device.

you break into an old apartment

how many stairs from the street are you?

(it's also possible to solve this using 70's nostalgia)

What I really like are the old small business commercials, particularly car dealers before corporate started cookie-cuttering them out for the franchisees.

Some of them are just cute, but some of them are freakin' insane.

A friend in college had one of those. We knew better but it was tempting.

I miss showing up at the airport twenty minutes before the gate closed and having no issues getting on the plane and the airline folks were more or less friendly.

It wasnt so great in the 90's. Much better in the 80's.
But I will admit, this is probably the only thing I'm nostalgic for.

On the other hand, the paranoid security means they no longer let assholes wander around the airport. Nobody gets in without a ticket and I love that. The average airport used to have muggers and pickpockets and robbers roaming around like fleas on a farm dog. LAX was especially bad.

Hmmm, I spent the 90s in Milan, Italy. No idea what went on here.

Collage was the height of artistry for album covers back then.

These music videos are great. Never saw them because I didn't have a tv back then.

I enjoy it too. I actually lived in an apartment back then, but it was 30 steps to the parking lot - not the street.

"Forty-two stairs from the street"

One of my favorite BNL songs

I once met someone who said they were big fans of BNL but then claimed to have never heard of Old Apartment. It just blew my mind

Like someone claiming to be a huge Beethoven aficionado and then being like "oh, there was a ninth symphony? i never knew . . . "
