      Did anyone make those paper fortune tellers?

      I tried to make one not to long ago for my nieces... But I couldn't remember what we put on the outside and inside.
      Didn't make a big hit. Who needs a piece of paper when there are 400 Tv channels!

      Sitting in front of the stereo for HOURS trying to make a perfect mix tape (you had to push STOP when a commercial came on and PLAY when the songs starting playing again). Getting pissed when the announcer cut off a song early or starting talking during the end of it.

      Finding out that you could play video games on your TI calculator in class (and then buying the cord that allowed you to hook up two calculators and play each other). How did I ever pass math?

      Had mix tapes and classroom notes (those fold up notes!) in the 70s/80s too and our gaming devices (Atari, Coleco) and such were even chunkier.

      I was early twenties in the early nineties but knew a lot of kids into a lot of this stuff you guys are talking about. I watched Ren and Stimpy and lots of this stuff.

      Some stuff I loved in the 90s.. Lexx on the SciFi channel and alternative rock radio!

      I was a 90's kid and a late 90's/00's teen.
      I remember:

      My first concert was the Spice Girls in 1997

      R. Kelly wasn't a pervert, he was a great singer!

      I've seen Nsync, 98 degrees, and Backstreet Boys, loved "boy" bands

      I tomboy type girls wore basketball jerseys with sports bras underneath as a fashion.

      Flare jeans came back

      WINDSUITS! Swooshed when you walked

      Light up sneakers

      Every girl everywhere had at least SOME of her mid section exposed

      Bandana shirts

      FUBU, Old Navy, JNCO, Timberland, and Angel were THEE brands to have

      I read Teen, Teen People, Cosmo Girl!, and All About You RELIGIOUSLY

      Eye glitter

      Mushroom hair cuts (only the cutest boy's wore those!)

      Sweatpants with sayings on the butt
