Sure, it probably required a decent amount of skill, but the Devil Sticks fad died out fairly quickly and we all moved on to the next great craze. But the truth is, Devil Sticks aren't just a 90s thing. They actually started over a century before they became a craze on every playground in the country. The Origin Of Devil SticksIt's hard to know the exact origin of Devil Sticks, mostly because they go

By Meg
YOU. GUYS. I hope you've got some money in the bank and vacation days ready to be taken, because Disney is opening Toy Story Land and it's about to get real. Admittedly, this isn't breaking news. In 2015, Disney announced they'd be unveiling an 11-acre park dedicated entirely to Toy Story. "Toy Story Land will invite guests to step into the whimsical world of Pixar Animation Studios' blockbuster films where playtime stretches longer than a Slinky Dog. Guests will feel like they've shrunk to the size of a toy as they play in Andy's backyard with their favorite Toy Story

By Emma Sheedy
A 90s-themed TV show has just been put on Netflix and we are so excited. The show is called, Everything Sucks!, and it's supposed to perfectly represent being a teenager in the 90s. The show is set in 1996, in a town called Boring, Oregon, which is actually a real town by the way. It is a comedy that follows the lives of high school freshman, including all of our favorite things about the 90s. Watching the trailer alone gave me instant nostalgia. The main characters in the show are in the AV Club and Drama Club and are made

Hands up if you grew up in the 90s! Congratulations, you got to live through the greatest decade ever. It was bright, it was colorful, and we had a lot of fun.

Listen, we can all reminisce about the 90s until we are blue in the face, but there were some fads that just were a little bit... well, bizarre, is the best way to put it.

By Meg
It's been over 20 years since Harland Wiliams's RocketMan graced the world with its creation. For those of you who don't know what the movie is about, first off I feel sorry for you, and second you are severely missing out. Williams played Fred Z. Randall, a goofy astronaut who, through a series of ridiculous events, finds himself going to Mars. The other astronauts hate him, and there's also a monkey on the spaceship because why not? Every week my brother and I would BEG my parents to let us get RocketMan from Blockbuster, and every week they reluctantly obliged.

We Now Know What M2M Has Been Up To Since The Day They Went Away

By Awa
Many will argue that girl groups had their heyday in the early 60s, but as someone who grew up a few decades later, I believe that the 90s were the decade for female musical groups. From Spice Girls to TLC, all-girl bands were all the rage, and to this day, we still blast their songs and sing along at the top of our lungs. But while many delivered cheesy, bubblegum tunes that we all loved, there were some that stepped outside of the box, and brought something different to the table. Norwegian girl duo M2M were a perfect example.Compromised
