I purchase my first Jordan's snickers. I pay it with my own money. And did not want it anyone to step on them. I pay 90 dollars at foot Locker. And last year I bought a pair of that style for my 2 year old son. I should create me a funny meme

I remember those days of purchasing name brand clothing. I'm a female and I remember in the 90s how girls then would wear baggy clothes and I loved wearing the FUBU jerseys and I had a pair of Tommy Hilfiger pants that I paid with my own money. I brought the FUBU jerseys with my own money also.

I had the Tommy Girl perfume.
Does anybody remember a Tommy Hilfiger commercial where it's all these young people, I think they're on a beach, and they're all saying stuff like: "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" and "Show me your Tommy!" I swear this existed but haven't been able to find it. -

This has nothing to do with my childhood, but I've been thinking, the 1990s were a fitting end to the 20th century. You had the end of the Soviet Union, and you had the introduction of modern-style internet (though there had been online services prior to this).
Plus, the 1990s had many of the things typically associated with the 20th century, things that vanished in the 2000s.
This is the DuMont Television Network -

My parents "big" Sony TV set. I don't recall how big it actually was. It was probably quite small by todays standards. 1990s TV sets were ugly compared to the beautiful ones of the 1950s-1970s, but at least they weren't a big featureless rectangle like todays TVs.
I had lots of daydreams in the 1990s. I used my favourite TV characters as the stars of these daydreams. I daydreamed while jumping on my trampoline. (actually, I still have these daydreams today, but without the trampoline).
CDs. I only had singles in those days. The B-sides were occasionally interesting.
Oh yes, that internet connection sound. Terrible, but now, oddly nostalgic.
I had a tree that was mine! When my parents built a fence, I insisted they cut a hole in the fence so the tree would survive.
"Compact cameras" with a zoom lens. I always wanted one.

Remember those portable CD players by Sony that skipped a lot? I had a cloth and plastic container to keep my CDs in, and would switch from CD to CD while listening to it in the car. I only had CD singles and a few compilations back then (autistic children don't have the attention span for a full album). Do they even still make CD singles?
Pokémon. I think it was much nicer in the 1990s than it is today.
I recall a website, which about NES games (yeah, I was retro even then), and they had a section called "Cream of the Crap" about the worst NES games, and also had a particularly negative review of the Super Mario Bros movie. The webpage even had a looping audio file of a deep-voiced man saying "this sucks".
Video Games Heaven was a chain of video game stores which used to exist. They are gone now. Their mascots were obvious take-offs of Mario and Sonic.
EDIT: How about CD-ROMs? I remember some of the late-1990s PC software titles came in big boxes.
Have you played Atari today?
