    The 90's and all the guys either thought they were great rappers or skaters and the pants tightly belted just under their butt. I still see some people to do that today and I'm like "Really? Still?"

    Also probably middle school, Road Kill t-shirts, Bare Naked t-shirts.

    I remember when Kris Kross came out and everyone started wearing their clothes backwards. Does anyone remember the pacifier phase? WTH was THAT about!!!! Oh the sleep overs were so much fun. One of my friends had the game Girl Talk and we would play that at EVERY sleep over. Mad Dog 20/20 was the drink of choice for so many in my high school.

    My favorite lunch day at school was when it was vegetable beef soup with grilled cheese sandwich. They had the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

    @browneyedgirl749 I always wanted to do that in VB but grew up in Newport News and we were not allowed to travel to that side of the water. So, no cruisin the strip for me.

    Ah yes, Kris Kross... I remember when they came out. I was in junior high school. I remember the pacifiers too. I remember playing spin the bottle on my 16th birthday. LOL! Mad Dog 20/20 and Boones Farm... LOL!

    When I was in high school, we lived in VB but was on the border of Chesapeake and Norfolk. I wasn't allowed to go to the part of the neighborhood that was in either city. Once my brother and I got our licenses, we still couldn't leave VB unless it was with our parents.

    We used to walk around the neighborhood after school (Freshman & Sophomore year mostly) to see who was home, and what we could get into. Remember no cell phones, and pagers weren't real popular yet, because they were expensive.

    One time this girl and I said that we were going to the Homecoming Dance, got dressed up did our hair and everything. We ended up going out with our boyfriends instead. Had a change of clothes in her parent's car. I still have the pictures of us dressed for homecoming. Not one of my prouder moments...

    My friend and I would tell our parents we were 'babysitting' but then we'd actually go to parties.

    Hello, fellow Nor Cal-ian! I'm in Dublin.

    I'm a hop, skip, and a jump away near Brentwood.

    Wow! I have never met anyone on here who is that close to me!! Can I send you a friend request?

    32 from NW FL here, this thread has brought up all kinds of memories.

    Any Nick kids remember Stick Stickly? I still have the dang address song memorized!

    I grew up in the FL Keys and we had these windows that were layered 3inch wide glass slats that we could slide out and in pretty easy so sneaking out was a regular thing....Then I moved into this house where the 3rd "bedroom" was actually an efficiency off the back of the house with its own keyed entrance so I didn't have to sneak out windows anymore, lol!

    So it's the work christmas party tonight and it's a 90's night. I'll feel like a late teen again! Thankfully it's not fancy dress, I don't feel like the town is ready for late 30's people dressed like the spice girls.

    Fun story about emulating Kris Kross: My school thought the backwards clothes were a gang thing.

    There is a Geico commercial on now with He-Man on it - ironic. The 90's was a crazier time for me. Much more unaccepted for me to hit on the white girls.
