To Power Rangers and pokemons, back when the Japense dominated out toy market and lead poisoning wasn't a problem.
To The Simpsons, the only animated voice of reason undermining Fox before Seth McFarlene's animation domination.
To my treasured Mary Kate and Ashley movies, before the Olsen twins became oversexed, supected drug dealers.
To Dawson's Creek and the original 90210, before sexting and gossip websites ran our teen dramas.
To Britney, before she was crazy
And Justin, before he was a man, being the "Golden Couple" of our childhoods.
To the barage of boy bands, in the time before one member in each, inevitably came out.
To Jennifer Aniston's Rachel haricut and leo's Titantic do, that everyone tried, and failed, to copy through the decade.
To Disney movies that wern't 3D, CGI-ed, or filled with A-list celebrities, but just simple stories, with songs you found yourself singing all day.
To Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails, who created genius while two decades later we must suffer through Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.
And, finally, to you internet dial-up noise.
(you know you still know the "tune" by heart)
You, I think I'll miss least of all.
90s, I salute you.
