10 Things About the 90s I'd Like To See Make A Comeback

It wasn't a complete wash, after all

By Jeremy Azevedo

Last week I wrote an article about 90s trends that I hate with the intensity of 1000 burning Steve Urkels. These included such gear grinders as rave culture, modern primitives and Tibetan freedom.

But in my reminiscence, I also discovered that there were a few things about the 90s that I actually really miss. Here are some of the the things about the 90s that I miss the most:

Girrrl Power




The awesome thing about “Girrrl Power” is that, nine times out of ten, it is interpreted as “wear trashy clothes and act like a slut”. Women actually find this empowering! These days, girls still dress like prostitutes and all that... Which is great, except you don't get the added satisfaction of crushing their "Girrrl Power" spirit when you treat them like one the way you used to.

Pagers



Not only is a pager about 1,000 times less annoying than a cell phone (because it’s so much easier to duck a page than it is to duck a phone call), but also when you wear one, everyone thinks you’re a drug dealer. Or a doctor. Or both. Which is rad. Plus, a pager isn't suspected to cause brain and dick cancer the way some scientists claim that cell phones might. Also rad.
