My personal favorite music groups of the 90’s
Everybody
has a favorite artist or music group;
some even have multiple favorites at that! Most music groups from the 90’s
have disbanded and have either gone solo or moved into a different section of
the entertainment industry, such as the acting industry or have moved on to
host television shows.
Members
of *NSync from left to right: JC
Chasez, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick
But, my favorite music group
of the 90’s is *NSync, I absolutely love all of their songs and still listen to
them today. *NSync is a boyband that
was formed in 1995-but any 90’s kid
would know this. My favorite member of the band is JC Chasez, but I have always
been a big fan of Justin Timberlake as well. Song-wise, I have a few favorites,
they include:
1) It’s
Gonna be Me-From their “No Strings Attached” album
2) Tearing
up My Heart-From their self-titled album “*NSync”
3) I
Want You Back-Also from their self-titled album “*NSync”
4) Girlfriend-
From “The Essential *NSync album”
5) Gone-
From their “No Strings Attached” album
I know every word of the songs listed above and play them
loud for the whole neighborhood to hear.

What Is My Favourite Toy?
I never really had one favourite toy, I had several
favourites. One of my favourite toys was the Nintendo 64. Since I had an older
brother, he and I both had a nice amount of games. Most of the time I would
watch him play because he refused to play with me but that alone gave me a lot
of happiness. I use to play a lot of the Mario games and Golden Eye. I would
also play a lot of Diddy Kong Racing.
Another toy that was my favourite was my Tamagotchi. I had
two of them and I brought them around everywhere that I went, I even brought it
to a wedding.
Last, my other favourite toy was the Super Nintendo. My
brother and I didn’t have as many games as we did for the Nintendo 64 but we
still had a blast on it. Super Mario World was played on a regular as well as
Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest and Donkey Kong
Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble. Aladdin was also another favourite game
for me even though I was stuck on one level and couldn’t get any further.
These toys games kept me occupied for a long time and kept
me out of my mom’s hair. To this day, every once and a while I still play the
games and remember how amazing they are.

How To Keep The 90's Alive
Right now you can simply look around and you are definitely
going to witness how much technology has evolved. Reading this right now you’re
on a device whether it’s a laptop, computer, or a handheld device. Even though
technology has evolved immensely, there are still ways to keep the 90’s alive.
Here are just a few ways:
· If you’re like me, go in your closet and pull
out that board game. Invite your friends over and make fun of how they can’t
fit a simple diamond in that perfection board.
·
Pull out your Pokemon cards and have a Pokemon
battle.
·
Pull out your Digivice and go for a walk. Have
to battle? Make sure your fingers are ready for button mashing.
·
Put away your Playstation, Xbox or Wii. Pull out
that Nintendo 64 or Super Nintendo. That’s where the real games are.
·
Grab that Game Boy and catch those original 150
Pokemon
·
Raise a pet on your Tamagotchi
·
Put down the phone and ride your bike over to a
friend’s house
Slowly start to do these things and keep the 90’s alive!

Where to find the best 90’s movies and TV shows!
We
all miss the days of the simplicity of
the movies and shows that were in the 90's. There are hundreds of movies that
came out in the 90's and at the time 90's kid were starting to watch more and
more television. Like many of our favorite 90's
TV shows they were turn into movies like : The Brady Bunch Movie, Adams
Family, Hannah Montana the Movie, Recess: school's out, and a Goofy movie.
You
can easily find some of the best 90
movies and 90's TV shows on You
tube based on how long this site has come along all these years. It is more
harder to find the full length of your favorite movies and shows as it may not
be on you tube. However, You Tube does provide you with clips and scenes of
your past favorite shows that will instantly put a smile on your face and your
eyes glued to the computer screen for hours.
Here's a clip from a well known and loved movie The Little
Rascals. You Tube gives us the opportunity to look at some of our favorite
parts in many movies. Here is the pickle song!

Us 90's kids were lucky enough to be born into the
world where there's internet, websites and pages you can go on. Ever since we
were young we watched and became in love with things Disney. Online there is a
site where you could view all your favorite Disney Movies and Disney shows which is called the Disney Vault. It
gives one the opportunity to watch old movies as well as give you updates when
new releases for movies are coming out.

Disney Movies from the 90's or movies from today?
Disney
has been making movies ever since we were born and we have been loving them
ever since. Disney movies always
give the person or people watching it a sense that you can do anything and good things can
happen to you.
The best 90's movies we knew growing up were ones that could make us
laugh and teach us lessons in life about friendship, family, and to be
persistent (never give up). They had a way of making things simple, giving
words a meaning we can relate to and make them memorable. Disney has been a
part of our lives ever since we were born and we have continued the tradition
all the way up until high school. Anytime there was an upcoming Disney movie us 90's kids would be
counting down the days until it came out in theaters. Begging our parents to
take us to this upcoming movie which may have been ToyStory2 , Goofy, and
plenty of others.
For this particular post we wanted to give you the
choice!

Video Games Played From The 90's
GoldenEye 007
This game was absolutely amazing. Although I was horrible at
it, I would spend hours playing it just to practice for when I would eventually
get to play with my dad, and I would still lose.
Super Mario 64
This game was probably one of the most time consuming games.
Especially since my brother beat the game and I ended up deleting the file by
accident so I had to get as far as possible without him noticing that anything
ever happened. Spoiler alert, he noticed. You always got a sense of
accomplishment when you would beat bowser, and then get pissed off when you
found out that you had to beat him again, and again.
Pokemon Blue and Red
This game was mostly amazing because it was playable on a
system that you could bring to all your friend’s house to show off that
legendary Pokemon you just caught. Too bad I wasn’t able to experience that. It
definitely was my destiny to catch all of the Pokemon, however, it seemed like
a lot of hard work and at that age, I wasn’t ready for commitment.
Mario Kart 64
This game was definitely the destroyer of friendships. Once
that blue shell got shot out, all hell broke loose. And those bananas, don’t get me started. All
in all, this game was amazing. Rainbow road was THE track to race on, mostly
because of that huge downhill that you would fly off of right at the beginning.
Super Mario World
This game was amazing mostly because you got to ride on a
dinosaur’s back and half of the levels you could literally fly through. Like
every Mario game, you constantly get frustrated having to beat Bowser countless
times but the levels are amazing and countless hours will be spent on this
game.

Most watched movies of the 90’s
There were dozens of movies that us 90's kids have watched
that we can remember to this day! These amazing 90's movies kept us interested and spending a P.A Day at home watching all the best movies of the 90's. Movies like MVP (Most Valuable Primate)
and Air Bud made us love animals that much more with their relationship with
humans and amazing talent in playing
sports like hockey, basketball, and football. Matilda, Chucky, Denis the
Menace, Homeward Bound, and Never Ending Story are amongst other 90's movies that were favorites of
many.
The Goonies
This classic movie is
one where a bunch of young kids going on an adventure to discover something in
their town . When they find a Spanish map that leads them on the search for the
fortune of the great one eyed Willie. This movie gave us excitement, fear and
so much more in the pursuing of the treasure of the great pirate(one eyed
Willie). Their encounter with the Fratellis (criminals) leads them closer to
the fortune and creates a lot of controversy and problems for them as well.
This movie will always be remembered by its loved and hilarious characters like
Chunk, data and Sloth.
Here a link from you
tube to the classic scene of Chunk doing the "Truffle Shuffle" ,
Enjoy!

Space Jam
This 1996 movie is one of the Best 90's movie by far which Stared NBA legend Michael Jordan and
famous teletoon character Bugz Bunny and his whole gang. The movie is a
different story to how Michael Jordan retired and made his way back to the NBA
after two years. Space Jam was popular and known worldwide because of the well
known characters from Looney Tunes kids can identify. After speaking with many kids that were born
in the 90's that Space Jam is the best basketball movie of the 90's and better
than any made to this day. After the aliens stole NBA basketball players talent
to ensure they were going to beat the Tunes in a basketball game. After Bugz
Bunny kidnaps Michael off a golf course and asks him to help him out. It was up to Michael and the Tune squad to
help get the players talent back.

Jumanji
One of the most
memorable 90's movie that was
watched by us 90's, especially at my house which was played several times
throughout the year after it came out. After a chest was buried a hundred years
earlier, Allan Parrish played by Robin Williams finds the chest at a
construction site after escaping a group of guys trying to beat him up. After
started playing the game "Jumanji" with his friend Sarah, he gets
sucked into the game. After being trapped in Jumanji for twenty six years Allan
returns after a family moves into the house and ultimately has to deal with all
the challenges this game is going to bring.
Home Alone
A 90's kid favorite which showed a young kid home alone
during Christmas after waking up late to go to the airport. Kevin McCallister
played by Macaulay Culkin out smarts
thieves in order to protect his house.
This was one of the best 90's movies
because it is regularly played on Television during the Christmas season and
was watched by us 90's almost every day during that period. They made a
few more movies of Home Alone were they were almost as
popular as the first.
