Believe it or not, the 90s was 30 years ago, and a lot has certainly changed since then. In fact, there are a lot of things folks thought were commonplace in the 90s that just don’t happen anymore, and now people are revealing some of them.
It all started when someone on Reddit posed the question, "What was normal in the 1990s but rare or nonexistent now?,” with plenty of people chiming in.
Responses include:
- “Being completely unreachable by anyone for an entire day or more with no one thinking that it was unusual or rude."
- "Taking your disposable camera to get developed, and having no idea if any of your pictures were even usable until you got the pictures back."
- "A printed list of family and friends' phone numbers stuck on the fridge."
- “Calling the movie theater or looking in the newspaper for movie times."
- "Playing multiplayer video games with all of the players IN the room together. We had some pretty heated N64 parties."
- "'Hey, what was the guy from that one thing?' / 'I don't know.' / 'Me neither.' / 'Oh well.'"
- “When picking someone up from the airport, you could wait for them at their gate."
- "Giving a meeting point and a meeting time in case we get lost."
- “Waiting for the bus without doing anything else other than waiting.”
- “Reading the back of the shampoo bottle while pooping to pass the time."
- "Pressing play and record at the same time."
- "Renting movies, video games, VCRs, and game consoles."
- "Landline home phones. And having to talk to your friend's parents for a couple of minutes while you waited for your friend to come to the phone."
