90s were a golden era and there is no denying that! You had some luxuries (like cable TV and Nintendo) but not the overbearing and omnipresent Internet. And If you are a 90s kid, you’d totally agree! Life was good. Times were simpler. And more importantly, simple joys were aplenty! Here are 35 posters that every 90s kid would totally relate to.

Besides the nostalgia, there is probably a lot that we could use from the 90s even today. We may have technology at the touch of our hands, bringing our friends and family closer, but what’s lacking is the personal touch things had back in the 90s. The simple joys we had back then are somehow hard to find now and its a pity that the millennials will never know this kind of happiness.
