A Product of the 90s

Today marks the 20th year I have walked, crawled, or been carried in this world. While notable, the 20th birthday is not a terribly exciting one.  Can't drink yet.  Been driving for longer than legally able, registered to vote in the next election already. And so, today is really just another Wednesday.  I'm not being depressed or pessimestic, I've just reached the point in life where birthdays are just another day and an excuse to eat out and have some pie :)

In the name of fun however, I've decided to make a list of things that I've grown up with.  Movies, music, social icons, TV shows you name it!  Not much good came out of the 90s except Will Smith and hair gel, but here are a list of things that were also products of the 90s. Enjoy!
