We love some solid nostalgia. If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, even at the time, you just knew there was something magical about those moments. ’90s TV shows were full of important life lessons and ’90s movies were instant classics. Even though smartphones and social media would be missed if we catapulted back to the ’90s, it might still be worth it.

And we are not alone in this nostalgia! Recently on Twitter, people have been sharing their favorite things about the decade with the hashtag #MyFavoriteThingsAboutThe90s. The responses really run the gamut, including ’90s fashion, food, TV shows, movies, toys — you name it. If you’re a millennial, or even if you just love everything about the ’90s, prepare for some serious nostalgia.

Let’s scroll through our childhoods and look at #MyFavoriteThingsAboutThe90s, shall we? We’ll start with these clear land line phones (that Clarissa Darling would absolutely approve of). How come tech companies never made a smartphone this cool?

Almost nothing beats a few hours in front of the television playing literally any game on Nintendo 64.

Except for maybe watching ’90s Nickelodeon shows.

Nickelodeon cartoons were so much better.#MyFavoriteThingAboutThe90s pic.twitter.com/rAxwN8HByR

Or spending your Saturday nights on the orange couch.

I can't forget the summer of 95. I finished second grade and spent the summer with my grandma. She had cable (my family didn't) and I discovered Nickelodeon. So many good shows. Plus #Snick! #MyFavoriteThingAboutThe90s pic.twitter.com/Rbh28cZraW

There were so many good scary movies in the ’90s.

Oh, and what about the music? The late ’90s was the height of boyband central, and it was glorious.

Okay, the ’90s have nothing on today’s internet capabilities, but still. Remember logging onto AOL?

Oh, and remember Happy Meal toys? Getting one you loved felt like being on top of the world.

Or if you miss disposable cameras. Free double prints on Wednesday, y’all!

#MyFavoriteThingAboutThe90s Disposable cameras and being surprised by the photos when you picked them up from being developed. And you could rip up bad photos and they were gone forever lol.

Shoutout to getting up early on purpose, not because your body can’t sleep in anymore!

#MyFavoriteThingAboutThe90s was WANTING to wake up early on a Saturday instead of sleeping in.
