Born in '84. Summer in the 90s was all about days at the pool with friends and evenings with my buddies playing playstation and drinking Surge. Maybe a little MMMBop playing in the background.
Nostalgia for the 90's and 00's

Burger King's 2 burgers-2 fries-2 bucks plus a bottomless soda was my soul mate in college
Born in '86. Shooting baskets in my Grandparents driveway pretending I was Dedric Willoughby wearing a #22 knock-off ISU jersey I saved up to buy from Walmart.
Oh yeah, and I'll never that Lit song "My Own Worst Enemy". I still blast that one every now and then.

The random college white hats. I I know I bought at least 6 of these at the Pro Image in Sioux City.
No social media, no way to be constantly tracked. Downside was no internet pron though. (80’s & most of the 90’s)
Those sonsabitches got rid of Zima and party balls.
Not sure why Coors hates America and fun, but they obviously do.
Zima rocked. Please respect my opinion.
Forgot about these. A kid at my middle school wore one with the "Blue Johnson" on it. I don't recall what school that was but I remember him catching grief from the principal for it.
Mostly "Time in a Bottle" stuff - my kids being little in the 90s, playing N64 with them, taking them to Star Wars, HP, and LOTR movies. They were cute af and they are great adults but I miss them being little.
Also, not having a cell phone. Feel like the world was more real then.

Arcades. Going to Lazer X (previously Aladdins Castle) at Merle Hay or Loco Joe's was freaking amazing. It's fun to go to a retro arcade like up/down now, but it's not the same. Seeing people lined up to challenge each other at Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat in an arcade was peak 90s.
Re the “go outside and just be home for dinner” I kind of wonder if that will be one of those things that each generation says they could do but the current generation can’t/doesn’t. Because I definitely have seen people born in the ‘80s saying that and that people born in the ‘90s can’t relate
Edit: and I still see preteens/teens out riding their bikes with their friends so I can definitely see them saying that when they are older
2nd edit: can’t relate

The old Casey's franchise stores were the best. They all kind of did their own thing and had their own specialties. Also, RIP to the Casey's slush machines. Man we had it good!
Does anyone else remember discovery zone? That place was amazing.
Also, Pizza Hut. Not that they don’t have it now (and it still may taste the same), but it hit differently as a kid
