Anthrax was cool? SARS was popular? A lot of people enjoyed Pepsi Twist? Huh. You learn new things every day. CDs are still advertised on TV, though and people still wear performance fleece.

Ha-ha! I went to school with Nick Lachey…LOL! Darrin's Dance Grooves was out even when it was in. Good list!
-
What? Parachute pants aren't cool?
-
Yeah, we don't have MMOs any more. Now we have World of Warcraft.
-
“Now That's What I Call Music” CD's. We went crazy for them.
-
I'm still into 6 and 36 til now *tee-hee*
And yes that Wow Worship was my personal fav too! -
I had Darren Dance Moves my mom got it for me for christmas when I had the stomach bug
-
Uh, not sure where you've been, but commercials advertising the Now series of CDs and whatever Time Life and MusicSpace have are STILL airing all over the place. Chat rooms are still popular too, as well as AIM subprofiles still used by the numerous people who still use AIM 5.9 since the later versions are complete crap.

Kiss my ASSSSSSSS! I have had an AMERICAN FLAG FLYING outside my house longer than this website has been up and running!
-

-
Holy shirt we were tacky back then!
-
wait i swear some of this stuff is way 90s…but maybe thats cause im from california and we are more progressive =D IE: -Jnco jeans…come on that was so 1996
-frosted tips? definitly started by mark mcgraff from sugar ray in like 97
-boy bands..definitly started in the 90s but ill let that one slide cause i still know dumbass girls that pee themselves over nsync
-tom greene? pfff that shit wasnt even funny when i was 13, in 97 but hey thats just my 2c. Also, the dell guy, LOL forgot about that guy…he totally got me a dell
-
omg, it was like everybody was in puberty……
and i still have that movie 'loser' on itunes…… -
All that stuff was never cool. The same people that like that shit back then probably are all about some Lady friggin Gaga and the dumb ass Twilight movies.
