Remember back in the day when you would listen to your favorite artist on a Walkman, or buy a vinyl from the music store down the block? How about those flare jeans and a cropped tank top and platform sneakers? Teenagers today won’t know what it felt like to line up at the store to get the latest NSYNC album or wait for Britney Spears’s new song to debut on the radio. There wasn’t any Netflix back then, only Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, the OG Disney Channel, MTV Cribs, and MTV’s TRL. Nothing will ever compare to the good old days, not even viral YouTube cat videos.

Let’s take a trip down memory lane and list the never forgotten music, TV shows, movies, and moments that the 1990s blessed us with. If you were alive to live through it, consider yourself a legend.

1. MTV TRL: Before Spotify, iTunes, or Pandora, we had MTV TRL. The latest and greatest artists of the 90s would be live in Times Square for interviews and performances. Lucky fans were able to witness when Destiny’s Child said their goodbyes, Lindsay Lohan perform, and many more iconic moments.
