2. Yo-Yos
Courtesy of Nerd Out With Me! on YouTube“I remember when Yo-Yos were big in the '60s, but they got crazy fancy and lit in the '90s. Similar to how roller skates and skateboards were popular when we were kids, but modern skateboarding and inline skating took it to incredible new levels.” -
3. Starter Jackets

4. Chain Wallets
Courtesy of Grailed“Chain wallets were all the rage even up through '99, though none of us had any money in our wallets to protect against theft or loss. That's not what the chains were for, of course.” -
5. Dark-Toned Colors

For example, chocolate brown, plum/eggplant purple (purple in general), and other jewel tones.” -
6. Airwalk Sneakers

7. See-Through Electronics

8. Beanie Babies

9. Faux Grapes

10. Zubaz Pants

11. Inflatable furniture
