We all know the events from Cruel Summer "take place on approximately June 26th, 1993, 1994, and 1995," but did you catch these totally 90s references?

That internet sound.

Each episode begins with an 90s computer screen telling us when the show takes place, but in the background is that sound. You know the one - the screechy internet connection sound that played every time you had to reconnect because your mom picked up the phone.

This lava lamp.

Something about that scalding bulb and that melting wax really set the scene for any 90s room. I had a purple lava lamp that I obtained by trading in about a million prize tickets from a local arcade (so 90s).

This scrunchie.

The ultimate accessory for any 90s girl. I, for one, love that the scrunchie is experiencing a major comeback.

That necklace.

The infamous necklace - not only does it play an integral part in the plot, but the phrase "You go girl" was an integral part of any teenager's vocab in the 90s.

Everything about this roller rink.

Be sure to tie your pompoms on to your skates! If you didn't dream of holding your crush's hand during the couples only skate, were you even a teenager in the 90s. Not to mention - the roller rink scene in episode one begins with "Dreams" by The Cranberries. This may be one of the most 90-est scenes ever.

Those overalls.

Not only are these the classic denim overalls, but they are also cuffed for maximum 90s fashion.

This Walkman.

Sure - kids today have iPhones and air pods, but they will never know the joy of listening to a homemade mixtape made from songs recorded off the radio and replayed on this cassette walkman.

This classic video cassette.

Before TiVo, before DVRs, there were VHS tapes and VCRs. Recording your favorite shows off the tv was the only way to ensure you could rewatch them as much as you wanted - bonus points if you cut out the commercials.

Those bean bag chairs.

The must have furniture for any 90s bedroom, den or dorm room, bean bags provided a cool way to sit on the floor, hang out with your friends and read YM Magazines or play Nintendo.

This music/jewelry box.

A perfect place to place your mood rings and friendship bracelets, this jewelry box had a pop up ballerina and usually played a song when opened up. The perfect accessory for your dresser kept in between your Love's Baby Soft and your Teen Spirit.
