10. You always write the Internet URL in full and still believe Microsoft is king.
9. You don't watch any TV that's widescreen, plus you only use CRT monitors.
8. You only use payphones and landlines to call people, and only fax documents to send them long distances.
7. E-mail is as far as you go with regards to electronic communication (what's Twitter? Facebook?)
6. You don't own an iPod. (We've seen vinyl, 8-track, and cassettes die, but CDs are good enough for me!)
5. You don't listen to any music made since 2000.
4. Except for kitchenware, you don't buy anything that is made in China.
3. You still think of grunge as the "next big thing" in rock music, and don't consider anything after 1973 "oldies".
2. All you dance to is house, electronica, and techno music.
1. You've memorized the script for every Seinfeld episode from beginning to end.

I kind of liked the 90's when they were happening, but there a good amount of stuff I wasn't crazy about. However, the older they get, the more I like almost everything about the 90's. I guess that's nostalgia.

It's baaacck!!
10. You must-haves on this season's list are fuzzy sliders, Fenty Puma backpacks, and overalls.
9. You refer to the big retail promotions on the day after "Turkey Day" as After-Thanksgiving sales.
8. When you hear "VR", the first names that come to mind are Ryan, JB, and Kaitlin.
7. You know the jingles first hand for Citizen watches with its funky beat and female singers and Coca-Cola's "Always"-era campaigns.
6. You believe the hottest areas for real estate are those with a backyard that lie on a golf course.
5. You purchase lots of white cabinets and appliances when designing your kitchen.
4. You open an independent video store and stock a boatload of Nickelodeon and Disney Afternoon VHS tapes along with third, fourth, and fifth-generation video games and levy fees for those who refuse to rewind and not be kind.
3. When designing a webpage for a band, you do so with a bar at the top using blurry pictures, labels with a different color/font on each box, and include a "number of visitors" counter since the site open, along with weird colored bullets describing the schedule of events. (inspired by Green Day's homepage in 1996), and request a band to include ironic song titles with fuzzy riffs in production. Then, when somebody asks you to "play a Taylor" album, you pop in a Taylor Dayne CD, not a Taylor Swift one.
2. You throw out our collection of Sega Visions because this new thing called the "Web" can provide instant advice at a point that even the most sophisticated guides can't provide, and most importantly, always buy games for their playing factor and not their story.
1. You open up the "Spirit of 1990" museum and carefully curate it to explain why everything on displayed disappeared before 2000 (sorry TENG!) and include a hall of fame for all of the people, inventions, and achievements that took place just so everybody can leave and say, "Well, that museum was absolutely about NOTHING!"

7. E-mail is as far as you go with regards to electronic communication (what's Twitter? Facebook?)
6. You don't own an iPod. (We've seen vinyl, 8-track, and cassettes die, but CDs are good enough for me!)
5. You don't listen to any music made since 2000.
4. Except for kitchenware, you don't buy anything that is made in China.
3. You still think of grunge as the "next big thing" in rock music, and don't consider anything after 1973 "oldies".
2. All you dance to is house, electronica, and techno music.
1. You've memorized the script for every Seinfeld episode from beginning to end.
Emboldened bit: I don't listen to music made since 2000 either. In fact I don't listen to music made since 1990. Music has been crap for the past 25 years in my book.

Sometimes I'm stuck in the 90s...when I feel nostalgic and I want to be 15 again. And I listen to 90s music once in a while. I wouldn't say I'm stuck in the 90s all of the time though. Sometimes I'm nostalgic for the 80s and 90s both, childhood and teenage years.

6. You have hundreds of cassettes, and are currently working on duplicating your collection on CD. And have hundreds of VHSs and barely use your DVD player.

4. You won't own any car 1996 or newer because OBD2 technology is too new and difficult to work on. And when talking GM radios you still call up to 1987 the old style plugs, and 1988 and later the new style.
3. You think Super Nintendo is too new and realistic looking.
2. You still use a landline, and have a flip cell phone you barely use. You still expect to find payphones everywhere.
