Remember when it was cool to wear overalls and grungy flannel while carrying an oh-so-tiny backpack? The ’90s are over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be nostalgic about those days gone by. Here are 11 things we still miss from that awesome decade.
1. MTV’s House of Style
Of course looking back on the style highlighted in the show makes us cringe now, but we still miss it.

2. Dial-up internet
There was something almost comforting about logging on and waiting for that horrible screeching noise to end.

3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Sure, we still have Will Smith but he’s no longer the goofy kid from the show. In fact, now his kids are making names for themselves. We feel old.

4. Tamagotchi
Whoever thought a pocket-sized digital pet would take off? And yet now we miss the days when we had to remember to feed it.

5. Being obsessed with Titanic
Admit it, you were one of those fans who saw it in the theater more than once and listened to the song over and over again. That’s OK, we did too.

6. Every single show on Nickelodeon
You could leave your TV on that channel all day long on the weekend and never get bored. Ah, the good old days.

7. Mini backpacks
They were so tiny but so very cool. They were pretty useful, too. Ever get annoyed walking around the mall all day with a purse on your shoulder? At least a mini backpack was more comfortable.

8. The Spice Girls
Looking back, it’s a tad embarrassing (OK, a lot embarrassing) to admit how much we loved them.

9. The Furby
He was just so darn cute, how could you not fall in love with this little guy? Some of us even had more than one.

10. Massive cell phones
Remember when a cell phone flipped open and you had to pull out an antenna to get any reception? How did we ever survive?

11. Nicolas Cage’s hair in Con Air
It was magnificent and we loved the way it flowed in the breeze. Don’t judge us.
