19 Sounds you’ll only remember

Growing up as a kid in the late 1990s was pretty awesome. It was a time that straddled the “playing outside and have an imagination” and the “we have technology and communicated with people from all over the world through a computer box”.

From MSN Messenger, which you used on your dial-up (and could only use all weekend if you didn’t get booted off the R7-all-weekend package deal that meant nobody could dial in our out of the landline) to classic shows like Recess and Friends. This video pretty much sums up the sounds of being a 1990s kid.

They are all pretty self-explanatory, except the Bill Clinton thing. Not everyone experienced this, but some folks who downloaded content from Limewire would hear his voice or see his image over things they downloaded. Count yourself lucky if you escaped this and reminisce about when icecream trucks coming down the road was still the most exciting thing for kids.
