Half of those apply to me when I was younger. I remember in fifth and sixth grade seeing EVERY boy in my classes wear those "No Fear" shirts.

lol, whatever happened to "sike!" i haven't used that in so long. Yea i think everyone wore B.U.M. I used to play my nintendo even into 1998, even though i had a turbo grafx, a sega saturn, and a Genesis. I would always find some classic NES game through a friend/magazine/the net. And TLC was the bomb(lol)back in the day, they were just so crazy and young and didn't care.

A lot of that stuff seems more late 80's then 90's.  Like the word "Sike", tight rolling jeans, Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, and playing the original 8-bit Nintendo.

From my memory, neither Debbie Gibson or Paula Abdul were that popular even in the early 90s, they both sorta faded away in 1989 or 1990 at the latest.

Though "No Fear", B.U.M., and 90210 are dead on 90's.  

Hey--- not to sound old or anything, but when you guys from the 90s said "sike!", was that the same thing as when us guys from the 80s said "psych!" ???  (which meant "psych'ed you out"?)

MY GOD I LIVED THROUGH THE 90'S As A LIL KID i rememebr it wasnt.... those weird artist names half of that stuff is right like.. "sike"....."beavis n butt head" and nintendo was the 80s junk "super nintendo" was a better version of the orginal nintendo so you see it was created in 1991. i believe or 1992 also... gameboy was hot still that fat peice of plastic then came gameboy pocket (smaller version in the 1998's) no color yet i think it was 98 i cant think oh well... bla bla in 1996 came n-64 so the 90's are differ 90's range from
90's to 99's trust me! its over 00's its like 03 jeeze get it straight also... bla bla um korn was in 1994 i think well actualy 1993 (no studio album release) the did there shows lol also fear factory was in 1993 or 1992 now that i remember like same year as super nintendo was born aaah i gotta do the 90's history jesus

hey pshh in portugal you still see "No fear" clothing every corner. ahqh

"No Fear" seen those shirts every where when i was in 6-8th grade. Some of the stuff.. i wonder why? lol

I remember all of this stuff.  Makes me feel old and I'm only going to be 30 this year.  The one thing I'm thankful for is that big bangs are out of style.   ;D  I don't think I could fix my hair like that now if I had to.

Paul, the new gameboy is part of the 00's decade. Gameboy still looks like the NES in the 90's.

This post gave me a good laugh this morning. I remember more than half of those and have to admit remember doing or wearing most of those.

Debbie Gibson rocked!!
