Was it the amazing middle and distance running performances?
The music?
The movies?
The culture?
The economy?
The collapse of the USSR?
The birth of Justin Bieber?
The Human Genome Project?
Nerf guns?
Seinfeld?
Nintendo?
The fashion?
Or something else completely?
No answer is too bold or trivial!!
My Bar Mitzvah
American distance running!!
The strong economy, and the 90s had the perfect amount of technology. Of course we would play Mortal Kombat and Super Mario World on the SNES but we would also play basketball with our friends and ride our bikes in the streets afterwards. Kids nowadays are so obsessed with technology and social media that trying to have any type of human interaction with them seems weird. They honestly seem less human. Super Soakers defined summers back then and TV was better, you got to watch MJ in his prime take on the Jazz and Monstars. Good times.
1) People (both sexes) thought Hillary was hot to trot
2) Cindi Lauper faded
3) Kids still wanted to be drug dealers when they grew up. Unfortunately, NAFTA changed that.

Nothing like an image of a naked lady loading very slowly on your CRT monitor.

+1. Kids today don't know how good they have it. Not only did it take forever to download (mom-don't pick up the phone, I'm downloading a game!) - even when you had them on your hard drive or floppy they didn't load instantly, slowly loading, line by line...painful when trying to get something done.
The Sundays.
Seinfeld
The "Kids" lifestyle (minus the HIV and whole rape thing)
La Bouche
^ all in that order

I thought I saw a homeless guy who looked a lot like Corin Nemec the other day.
Almost forgot:
The Macarena
Hillary Clinton in the White House
Surge Soda
MLB strike
Frosted tips
Kale was a salad bar garnish, not an edible food item.
1500 / mile World Records
Pay phones
The Big Lebowski (pop culture was so much better in the 90s...Seinfeld is a good example from the OP).

This guy never played Slappers Only mode in The Stack as Oddjob as his cousins bitched about screen watching while you slid between their legs slappin' their junk to pieces.

playing CDs in your shitty used car's tape player by using that weird tape looking thing you plugged in to your discman headphone jack
