You know what you just unlock a semi core memory!!!! If I remember correctly my mother asked me while I was going to sleep while she was putting me to sleep if I wanted to change the paneling and like they were doing in their room to be like a white plaster to match their white popcorn ceiling and said no. I think she tried to convince me and I just said no I like looking at the pictures in the woods panel. Whereas my dad would not have listened to me my mom actually respected my wishes and the wood panel remained. 😊

Glamour Shots was a concept where (usually) women would go to a photographic studio and have their makeup done, sometimes accompanied with feather boas and costume jewelry and have photos taken. That was big in the 90s as were one hour photo studios where you could have your picture taken (alone or with friends) and in roughly an hour you’d receive your photos. These were different from traditional portrait studios in that you could dress casually and have fun with the poses.

The Sega Genesis was the underdog video game console. It secured 55% of the video games market at one point. The Sega Saturn was a flop outside of Japan 🇯🇵. It was released too early with a surprise launch which pissed off KB Toys so much that they refused to sell it ever since only stores like Toys R Us and Electronics Boutique, Babbage’s (later merged into GameStop). After about 3.5 years the Sega Saturn only sold about 9 million units. I do remember playing Daytona USA on Sega Saturn display kiosks at Toys R Us. All of my friends and I had either a PlayStation and/or Nintendo 64.

Hi Rhett 🙋🏽. Looking back at the 90's seem so long ago to. I guess because I'm older and I remember all of the things that you showed. And I still use the sofa and chair covers with the fringe At the bottom ‼️😂😄😅🤣😆😄😂🤣 LOL. Even though it's not that long ago, it feels really nostalgic to me .Thank you for inviting me to watch your video ‼️ have a wonderful weekend ‼️👍🏽😃👍🏽

I think 90s was a complete blank for me. A lot of firsts but painting my first apt using textured paint was extremely memorable. Did I say that before painting I had to remove the horrible PINK wallpaper the previous owners put up!!?? Nightmare! Was a time I'd rather skip (thx Rhetty) 😂 Can anyone answer this question? Who invented artificial plants? 😃 I get the reason why, they could never look real so what's the point? The question is, YAY or YUCK? I think its definitely YUCK! I really can't say there was ever a bad time in my life. I finally listened to my parents, buckled down and focused on school! I'm certainly grateful for them. How many times can one parent say, " I told you so" or " You'll thank us one day" Thanks Rhetty!! Your the best!🙏

Back then we thought that a 56k modem was "fast." 😄 I am a 1980's teenager and I still have a large, LOUD, and impressive audio rig or as some call it "stereo." The difference is that now my rig has hundreds of Watts of power and it is mostly digital. The Bluetooth speakers and TV soundbars can't even touch a REAL home sound system with REAL power and just plain guts.

I grew up in New Zealand and remember many different interior design styles in the 90s. Definitely recall the sponge-ing and stencil, but also remember bold single-colour paint jobs, and that oh-so-necessary "feature wall" that was a pointedly different colour from the other walls in the room. Much Baroque and Tuscan influence, dried flowers, draped fabric, golds, deep reds, warm colours, lavender flowers, "deconstructed decadence", French rustic touches, and hardwood floors. I aspired to the more minimalist trend of off-white plasterboard, large tiled atriums, skylights, mezzanine floors, generous patios, and the newly-birthed realtor selling point: "indoor-outdoor flow". I was also fond of the style-blending and grunge-tingled aesthetic in graphic design, throwing mixed fonts and patterns at each other. Much fun.

Before Cottagecore was just cottage. We had topiary trees, folk art and a nice collection of jugs with a matching set of cows painted on them. Decorative only of course. Ah the early 90’s. You unlocked the gel candle core memory for me, wow thanks 😂

Same here! I felt like my mom was the authority on decorating and making our house look so nice. Now I realize that it was the same look that everybody else had at the time and, even though I don't decorate that way, I never even noticed that the style left

80s kid here. (I turned 9 in 1980). The 80s were more innovative and fun; everything just flowed perfectly, one after the other. The 90s were more experimental, awkward, and quick fads. I guess the best thing about the '90s was grunge music; other than that, It was just not as fun. Nothing will ever compare to the great 80s.🥰

How cool that you covered the '90s, Rhetty! I was really young in the '90s. But I definitely remember VHS players/Tapes (I had a Disney collection like the ones in the video), computer/tv/entertainment center, cordless phones, Playstation, Nintendo 64(my uncle had this) and Chia pets. If possible, I would love to see a video on the 2000s.

Seeing a video presented as a short history documentary about stuff I had in my own home growing up is making me feel ancient, and the fact that it showed up in my suggestions the day I realised I officially have noticeable grey in my beard has me feeling some sort of way. Great video, 10/10 presentation, but I'm docking you two points for reminding me of my own mortality so you only get 8/10

All the big hair from the 80s deflated and no longer glowed in black light. It was so sad. lol And didn't bell bottoms "try" to make a comeback int he 90s? lol Thank you for this wonderful nostalgic presentation.

A side effect of early cordless and Cellular phones were anyone with an inexpensive police scanner could listen in on your conversations. The FCC later forced Scanner manufactureras to block access to the frequencys these phones used , but any made before the law could still listen in on your calls. And it was easy to reverse the block on new scanners. If you had one of these phones someone was listening in at some point.😮😮

My parents bought their second house in 1985, and when they finally got around to upgrading the kitchen to the way they wanted, they added a lot of that recessed lighting. I think that was before the 90s though. They also added on another smaller house onto the side of it in 1988. The kitchen in that house also got the recessed lighting. Oh, and the bathroom, laundry room and garage too. 6:42 - I have one of those halogen floor lamps. But I have no idea when or where I got it. Back to that house they bought in 1985, my Dad bought a set of office phones for it (not cordless). He put one in the kitchen, I think one in the master bedroom, one in the laundry room, and later, one out in the garage. The cordless phones came later, maybe in the late 90s.
