Thanks to all of the UA-camrs who uploaded the gameplay used in this video.
Remember when there WAS a "computer room"? and we'd all have to share "computer time"?
People needed to get off the computer because it was my turn to play Oregon Trail.
@@DiverseStyle My parents still have a "computer room". HA!
Yes!
nah, never had a computer room, I had a computer in my own room and it was mine, I never played games I was and still am more interested in things like configuring and experimenting with Windows (but I only like Windows up until Vista or even 7, anything never is not in my taste)
Yes, I used to stay longer at school to use the computer room, because there were no smartphones yet and I wanted to have free access to the internet. But there were just six computers, so we had to run fast after our last class. xD
It's okay to miss the good times. Embody their spirit in the here and now. They never truly left.
thank you, wise frogge 🐸🙏
blessed take
Anyone else miss the 90s/early 00s like a long lost friend or ex?
nope. it had its moments but I'm fine where I'm at.
Absolutely.
100%. The 90's was a decade where everything seemed so bright, positive, and full of optimism. Once 9/11 happened, it was like waking up from a dream and we have been stuck in a nightmare world ever since

oh this is the bitter, painful yet oh-so-sweet sting of nostalgia. Being a kid in the 90's was such a great experience full of wonder.
there's nothing else like it bro ❤ i miss the early 90's and late 80's
all the new tech, the visuals, graphics, everything evolving, robotics, it was all so grand
Boy i miss those early home computer years. So many classic tunes, classic games and software. Such a vibe
I miss the African motifs in music during the first half of the 90s, peaking around the time of The Lion King's release. It made everything feel so... world-ly. I feel like society has regressed since then.
I know what you mean. That panflute was used a lot and it made learning about the world exciting
You put into words something I'd only ever subconsciously acknowledged. Miss those days when the world felt friendlier.
One day, we turned out the light when leaving the computer room, not knowing it would be the last time... For me, the computer room at my parents house is now a storage room, but every time I visit, I experience fond memories of many summers and weekends playing video games with no pressure or expectations... I want to go back.
I wonder how many people just had this video show up at their playlist and then got stuck in a nostalgia stun lock
I know I did. Nearly made me cry too
been 2 weeks and this playlist still has me in a chokehold
I miss these times when booting up your pc was an enjoyable experience
Yes! And having to wait an hour to install a game from CD or floppies just to have it crash in the middle. Everything seemed like a much bigger deal back then.
I miss the computer room! I miss waking up in the same home as my family.
Let's all operate our households and raise our kids like it's the 90s/2000s. Use VCRs, dvd players, radios and cs players, cassette tapes, limit technology and go outside 😌
That's what we do 😊 we don't even have cable lol
I think the 1990s, at least in the US, was a time of optimism. The world seemed open and peaceful. Soviets had failed and collapsed, and new technology was making our lives better. 9/11 ruined all of it and, looking back, was the worst thing to happen to this country in a long time. We’re still dealing with the negative effects of that event on our society.
I 100% agree. The 90's was a decade where everything seemed so bright and positive. We were looking forward to the future but once 9/11 happened, it was like waking up from a dream and we have been stuck in a nightmare world ever since
Bush & Obama ruined it. Bush sent us into a war that we could not afford. Obama destroyed race relations. Obviously there is more they did, however what I said was enough.
A few minutes ago I had this very same conclusion. I yearn to be in the 90's even though i never personally experienced it. And then I read your comment and it was a weird sensation.
Then the Great Recession in ‘08 ruined it further, before Covid came and finished what was left of it off
I was 13 that day. I was very sheltered and didn't understand what the big deal was nor why those buildings were a big deal. I did, however, have the foresight to save the next morning's paper. I still have it.
I've done a lot of digging as an adult and boy oh boy have we been LIED TO...about dang near everything 🤬🤬🤬
And yes, everything changed and won't go back to what it was. Best we can do is buck up, chin up, and move forward.
A feeling of nostalgia like homesickness for a time and a place that don't exist anymore. A world that was promised to each and every one of us as children, but when we grew up it wasn't still there to inherit.
THANKS for making this 37 year old cry when i heard the first song play....it brings back memories of my early childhood
I loved my late 90s/early 2000s childhood. Lots of putt putt and pajama sam games, and playing them before bed. Those are memories I will always cherish
SUPER SOLVERS
Nostalgia isn't supposed to be painful. Our possible future was taken from us.
Let's appreciate the effort that was taken to show various things on the screen, including the booting and shutting down.
Ah yes, the Sim City, Quake, and Command & Conquer days. Every kid that knew what cool was had a desktop just like the one pictured in the video and spared no opportunity to boast about the newest game they bought with their allowance. If a time machine ever gets invented, I will be the first to step into it.
This might be one of the most nostalgic atmospheric mixes I’ve seen/listened to recently. I grew up with these kinds of computers and similar games in my early childhood and have always found the sounds and feelings very comforting. Add in the nighttime sounds and crickets and it’s very cozy. The 1990s were a much simpler time for many. Thank you for putting this together.
I comprehend your emotions. It can be challenging, but persevere. Have faith, brighter days lie ahead.
Ironically, my childhood bedroom in the 90s was also the family computer room.
Memories.
Повезло тебе 🙂
I loved the cosy feeling of being in the computer room at school, just a fun break doing typing and math games. Felt the room was quite peaceful, everyone just quietly typing away and the computers humming. Now computers are just boring and too bright and flashy for me now.
Oh wow, 90s EPCOT Center music. Some nostalgia there.
That one stopped me dead in my tracks
The best moment of my life is when I first turned on the N64 with Mario 64. It was my first 3D game and it felt magical. I was 9 years old.
Oh man, pulling out Lego Island is truly a deep cut.
this music evokes this feeling i had when i was a kid in the 90s, browsing Encarta, playing Where in time is Carmen Sandiago on the PC, or watching PBS nature programs- that the world is big, beautiful, and full of wonderful things to learn. I miss that.
Mario 64 is the most nostalgia-inducing music ever. Insane
Yea a PC classic. N64 could only dream about such games.
Hearing the Lego Island soundtrack sent me into the Astral Plains
Sigh... I remember those days. That music and vibe brought me to my early childhood. Sometimes, I wish to go back to simple times.
i remember when we had the computer room, and Mom would shut everything off, put the tacky beige plastic covers on everything, shut the lights off, and close the door for the night ❤
Reminds me of looking at books about space & I, Spy before bed ❤
Nothing better than rushing to the computer to play my Knowledge Adventure series in the pre-Internet days! 😌
Was born JUST too late for this. But being born in 2002 has its own unique benefits, I like to think.
You were born into a world that had already found itself on the wrong path.
9/11 seemed to be the catalyst that destroyed the western sense of optimistic promise most of us felt in the 90s.
The world went to one of government control, speech laws, regular atrocities being committed in our cities (which were incredibly rare up until that point) militarisation of the police etc.
That one event changed the western world forever.
Curious what benefits come to your mind of being born in 2002.
I was born in '94, and I think life would have been much easier and better overall had I been born at least a decade earlier!
I remember watching channel one news in my first period class and getting weekly segments about how the internet was coming. Our walls were lined with Apple IIe's at the time, but I was part of computer club and way ahead of the game. My 12 mhz refurbed IBM workstation that let me play Battletech had been upgraded to a 33mhz gateway with 4mb of ram and I was playing Doom baby after spending a week downloading from BBS's with my 33k modem and learning how to install drivers from floppy disk at the dos prompt. Windows 3.1 was cool, but everyone knew that if you needed to get some serious work done you needed to load up xTreeGold from the command prompt. The soviet union was gone and the USA was the damned best country in the world. The golden days before technology was used to exploit and manipulate us. My god how things have changed.
Yes, television was not used to manipulate you.......or any media whatsoever....
I totally get where you're coming from. Hang in there, my friend. Keep believing, the sun will shine again soon!
This is a time & era that is so special to so many. Thanks for giving us this. What a great showcase of nostalgia.
agreed
this video stirs up emotions of childlike hope in me, the same feelings i had back then
the sound clip from encarta95 really hits
the 90s were just… heavenly compared to now. i know there were issues, and of course the world has never been the safest… i just personally would give anything to go back to 1990 or even the 80s and start again
A lot of people agree that the 90's where the best. But few people will know or say why that is.
@@rovhalt6650 We are going into hi def 80s and 90s now, for another round. People will reminisce in the next few years that it reminds them of the 90s and early 2000s where it left off.
The 90's may have been great in the Western rich people bubble, but for me personally the 90's was a soul-crushing grind. Still, I miss the family and friends we had then.
Good luck with AIDS
As a kid it was great, but I wonder how it was to adults and seniors at the time? Not sure if they feel the same as us.
Somehow even that planet photos from the thumbnail (at 7:30) felt nostalgic to me. In my childhood I was a huge astronomy nerd and one of my first experiences with the internet was when I was on my parents computer around age 9 to 10 (my parents only gave me internet access on my own computer when I was I think 13) and searching about the planets and other astronomy stuff in Google and finding these educational websites that had a lot of photos of the planets and being fascinated by them.
This was in the early to mid 2000s and back then computers and the internet felt like a fascinating new world to discover as a kid. These early 2000s websites had their own unique style that feels quite nostalgic now.
I also remember having educational software on my Computer myself, one was about animals and one about planet Mars, and a point and click dinosaur museum game called Eyewitness Dinosaur hunter.
One of my favorite playlists and have listened well over a dozen times now. I was child during this era and this playlist captures that adventurous optimism and curiosity that I felt. However, the latter half settles into a much more somber mood, as if knowing that this bubble of time remains where it is and we can only think fondly of it in retrospect. Heavy, but honest and real.
The new age music of the 90's... some heavily inspired by Vangelis, Era, Enya... Beautiful
It was absolutely a time of wonder, there is nothing like watching the transition from 2D to 3D in real time.
This is the only UA-cam playlist I have listened to for the last three months. It's becoming a security blanket-- I haven't been able to find anything else that hits this spot so accurately.
This video totally has the feel of mid to late 90's, and this is how it would have been for me back in the day, as I am now 41: the window is open on an early summer evening. It was a hot summer day, but now with the evening having arrived, it has cooled down a bit. A pleasant breeze is coming through the window, and I can totally imagine myself as a teenager again, browsing the ultra-exciting world wide web!
Sending IM's on AOL and going into various chat rooms. Hoping my dad doesn't wake up so I don't have to get offline, because I've already been on the computer for a good two hours, and that's about as long as my dad would like me to be on. But then the phone rings and I hear the dreaded "GOODBYE!" as I am kicked off AOL.
It's a very accurate interpretation of what the computer room was like in the 90s!
In particular the educational aspect, the computer was seen as a learning tool, and our parents were less reluctant to see us on it than on our consoles ^^.
In short: a good shot of nostalgia, a very accurate vision, well done!
Wasn't born in the 90s, but I grew up with the 90s equipment so this is home for me too.
I didn’t exist during the 90s , but this still feels very nostalgic for some reason
The world needed this right now and you provided it at the perfect time.
Whew this one hit my brain chemistry like a speeding train.
The old windows 95 startup music is PURE MAGIC : C The nostalgia hurts soooo bad.
EDIT: Oh my god. This is the first time I've ever heard of 'utopian scholastic' as a genre, but DAMN, I totally remember this vibe! Especially with the songs at 6:44 and 12:55 !! That panflute ;-;
This takes me back to being a kid playing the Magic School Bus Solar System PC game and a bunch of other educational PC games from the mid-late 90s. I think Ecco was one of the very first video games that I ever played, but I played it on the SEGA channel.
But anyways, thank you for making this. This is something that could have only been put together by someone who experienced it themselves. ♥♥
Sort of unrelated, but one of my fondest memories as a 90s kid was coming home at dusk after playing with my friends all evening, arriving just in time to see Elton John's music video for 'Can you Feel the Love tonight' playing on TV. Dinner was ready and I just remember feeling pure contentment and bliss at that moment.
I love the 90s, That was the last decade of the 20th century, That was the last decade for good music and That's my favorite decade. Those years were wonderful times because There was good music and There were good movies. Thank you so much for all this, I think that old is beautiful. 🙂👍
Flashing back to seemingly endless days and nights exploring the early days of the big computer, at home with not a worry. Long to be back...
I wasn't around back then, but I did grow up using computers at a pretty young age, and that included using different kinds of generations of the same Dell computers, HP computers, etc. back in the mid 2000s. Very nostalgic either way since there was a lot of overlap between the technology that would be in the house.
This video was so relaxing, it put my PC into sleep mode.
This. This is how I would've wanted to grow up in the 90's. Fascinated with computers and space
What a great video! Right on the spot. Times were simpler, and we used to value all forms of media, I remember I used to read manuals for games and then was amazed by graphics and simple animations, etc, later that would inspire me as a kid to draw characters in school and eventually got introduced to D&D and first TSR program back in the 90s/Y2K. Much simpler times, when we were all still having some human values, things were simplified but not to a point of atrophy like now.
My family had this exact Gateway setup. I'm still using my cow-print Gateway2000 mousepad as a reminder of those days.
Damn, this looks like MY computer set up I had! The desktop wasn't as tall, but the speakers, mic, monitor. Man, the feels. Thanks for this!
I shouldn't feel sad listening to this, but at the same time it brings back good memories-at my grandparents house playing lode runner with my grandmother-introducing her to the wonders of nintindo through an emulator-introducing her to the Starcraft universe when blizzard actually gave a shit.
Good times.
RIP Grandma.
The best kind of room
This was wonderful! I miss those days so much
This makes my brain so safe and cozy
"Utopian Scholastic", now that's a new one.
We got a family computer that looked a lot like that from Gateway in the late 90's from a Gateway store. I think my mother pushed for it after getting tired of watching my step-father struggle with maintaining the family computer which was cobbled together with aftermarket parts. Most of the Gateway boxes had "cow" graphics on them, and were big and heavy. It was enough for serve our computing needs for a while, which weren't much (Internet, word processing, spreadsheet stuff). It certainly was a time to be aware of the world back then.
This is such a nice video. I even love how the video looks when I'm scrolling and see the thumbnail next to all the various other video thumbnails that pop up. It delivers exactly what it promises and I'm so happy to see people are making little artsy nostalgic videos about the beauty and feeling of using digital technology in the late 90s. This is so sweet and personal, to see creative people like you taking music, art, and design and bringing them together so effectively. This instantly transports me to into some of my earliest memories and emotions I can recall in my life.
I've seen a lot of other videos on YT that use memorable 90s imagery + a soothing playlist to try to achieve that same effect but I think this one gets it just right. Well done! 🎯
52:37 Feels so good with headphones on. Thanks for this one. This playlist made me discover a new aesthetic of utopian scholastic, love it.
Seeing Encarta 97 on the computer monitor was touching :)
Edit: Thank you SO much for the list in description!
I watched this my first night moving into my own place living alone, for old times sake and to help set the mood to fall asleep, was worth it.
My greastest admiration, deep gratitude, and dear appreciation for imortalyzing these preciously fond memories collectively shared among all the Millenial generation. This video truly was a love labor dedicated to those who would appreciate and enjoy it most. I hope you keep this video posted for all time and never take it down. God Bless.
90s the era i call my time..homesick for a home of long ago ..my childhood far away ..but memories stay.. thankyou for this.
That sound effect at 1:40 awakened something in me like a sleeper agent.
the white grid window is accurate!
Windows 95 Startup Sound was by Brian Eno?
wow...that explains a lot..
4:25 holy moly that's fantastic
I still have those Boston Acoustic speakers to this day. They sound fantastic!
Listen I ain't been able to shake off the 90s, y'know? Got too many flashbacks from back then crowding my life. Remember every little detail like it was yesterday. Feel like I shoulda done more, like I wanna stay there forever. Can't seem to move on, y'know? My buddies got kids, some of 'em teenagers now, got their steady jobs, and here I am, still yearnin' for somethin' that ain't comin' back
I can remember browsing AOL chat rooms while listening to the first Gorillaz album on a Friday night.
I miss feeling safe and hopeful.
The Donkey Kong country one, with how echoey it sounds, it makes me feel like I long for a moment I experienced, when being born in 2005 l clearly haven't, the next one makes me feel like l'm at my grandmothers house with all the trinkets and the smell of potpourri, the next one feels like watching a nature documentary in class in high school, the one after that reminds me of 90's Nickelodeon, maybe Rocko's modern life or the thornberries (saw that this video had more views so figured I’d comment here as well)
39:30 the best one imo, i love this kind of mix between synths and fantasy
This video is amazing! Its like a time capsule which takes us back to the good old days. Please make more of these!
Listening to this late at night touched me deeply, this is as close as I'll get to going back. Thank you for creating this beautiful ambience.
Really miss my first PC, a black home Dell computer. Would play Age of Empires late at night & during the day would use the internet to play on a website called Arcadetown
This is QUALITY. Simply a well made ambient video. I love it.
ah, the times using windows 3.1 in school computers...playing nes at home...watching 80s anime series on tv with dad...good times!
You can go to the past, but there is nobody there waiting for you.
That image, right in the feels...
The home computer will revolutionise how the modern world communicates and explores the world of knowledge. that and a connection to the brand new thing called the internet, people can now communicate with each other from around the world and express ideas. think about how much this open digital cyberspace will educate and bring the world together, free from the grip of greed and monopolistic corporations. the future is bright, and the world will be unrecognisable 5, 10, or even 20 years from now. just imagine the possibility! soon everyone will be using Email, and much much more!
I miss Netscape Navigator and Real Player. So little computing power and so much better art design than the minimalistic wastelands we’ve been seeing for the last decade.
I have a theory and I don't know if it's true or if already exists any study about it, but as a kid from the late 80's and early 90's, we grew up with so much things happening, history facts, technology boom and so on. We do not appreciate things like other generations, we did not have time for this. And because of this, we are so nostalgic.
Lets not be hopeless. We can fight and get this back!
To be hopeful what a grand feeling that must be i wish i could say lets fight for this
Wow! Very specific ambience and very nostalgic. I played a lot of those games! Great work!
This is the music that plays while Jordan Rudess tries to steal the clean socks from my bedroom.
Whenever I think about the 1990s, I always think about how at the beginning of the 20th century, people dreamed about being able to travel to the moon, how the rich primarily owned cars, and electricity was still in it's infancy. But near the end of the 20th century, cars were a common day thing, people had their own personal computers at their home where they could look up just about anything they desired and message people across the globe and we wondered if we'd ever see someone travel to mars or even planets beyond. Those who were born at the start of the century and lived up until the end must've seen it all, it makes me wonder if people born in the 2000s like me will see the world advance so drastically like the people born in the 1900s saw.
thanks for this, really made my week. man, life is so much easier to navigate with a little optimism and hope for the better, which is perfectly encapsulated in this music. truly utopian! too sad to think that this 90s-spirit is dead, but thanks to folks like you it will live on in each of us
I love this so much, thank you 💖
ooh i remember, i miss the 90s alot these days. Much simpler times, well it felt the way because i was a kid
That looks spot on to my computer and peripherals circa 1995-ish. Well played.
This is dead-on is boosting-up a wonderful memory of my old retro house when i was a kid :D
This was a blast of nostalgia and comfort that I desperately needed. Thank you for making this!
I miss childhood, now I am living vicariously through my sons, and it's the best feeling.
