Us 2000 kids are in a weird position. 2000 was like the gate way to nowadays but it's like an awkward in between
One of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam! One of my favorites of yours!
thank you so much!
I was thinking the same thing
Riding my bike everywhere (not for exercise, literally just because it was fun), putting those beads or a card on your bike to deck it out, Dragon Ball Z, watching all Disney movies on VHS, tire swings, charm bracelets (those chain link ones), braiding colourful strings in your hair, hoop earrings, jaw breakers, hot wheels, chubby sodas, velvet scrunchies, those stretchy comb headbands and manually rolling car windows down. /nostalgia
VELVET SCRUNCHIES
I miss the cartoons from back then (Fox kids) and I sniff old books from the library (a pleasant smell I can't describe)
Mellory Lopes I also sniff old books from the library
Mellory Lopes thought I was the only one lol!
i was born on january 7th 1990. i too have been very nostalgic lately - homesick if it makes sense. it was another time. before iphones, facebook, twitter and all that. i mean, there are good things today, but i am happy i grew up in a time before everything got digitalized. i miss going to record stores and asking the cashier if i could please listen to the new spice girls album. i miss going to blockbuster to pick out a movie to watch for the weekend - vhs style. i too miss building forts and having sleepovers under them during the weekends. i miss my 90s and early 00s teen movies + tv shows (my so called life is one of the greatest things ever) - scream, the faculty, clueless, 10 things i hate about you, bring it on, but i'm a cheerleader, save the last dance, crazy/beautiful, get over it not to mention the x-files and twin peaks (both of which i was way to young to watch at the time, but did anyways), roswell etcetcetc. teen films has never been the same. i miss dancing around in my living room listening to my dads vinyl collection and getting freaked the hell out everytime i listened to his copy of "jeff wayne's musical version of the war of the worlds". i miss watching goosebumps + are you afraid of the dark every week and watching mtv when it was actually still a music channel. r&b was my jam in the 90s. but then again so was grunge, pop, hip hop and other good stuff and i guess that's why my taste in music is so far and wide today. god, mixtapes were cool - what a cute way to show a special someone how much you liked them #bringitback. my pre-teen gay heart just couldn't handle the cuteness of josh hartnett. i was also totally in love with scott from five, but if i had to list all of my boy crushes from that time, it would take forever hah. fashions and trends were on point too. my lava lamp was the greatest thing ever, but i never got an inflateable chair or backpack (though i wanted both badly). lastly, do anyone remember when people brought their stationary computers to school during exams? hah, imagining that today makes me laugh. ok, i'll stop now. i could go on forever about the greatness of the 90s. thank you for doing this video karen, and for reminding me of a "better" time. it is a piece of art. lot's and lot's of 90s love to you from the other side of the world x andy
Happy birthday for next year-mine was the same day, six years earlier.
So you were 6 years old asking to listen to the new spice girls album? I think some of you born in the 90s don’t really remember much of the 90s because your memories are way off lol
@@gurlbye1752 i never said i went to the record store to listen to the first spice girls album (their last album came out in 2000). i grew up in the city center and would walk by the record store every day on my way home from school, which is why i dropped by all of the time. i would spend all of my allowance on cd's. i don't know about other kids, but i was very into music from a young age and grew up watching MTV and VH1 every day after school. ain't nothing wrong with my memories.
I miss Mr. Potatohead from Toy Story
Viet Lee Oh hey Viet Lee! I see you on JK Videos!
King what are you doing here stay at Jk
You are every where Jk,bubz,David so and now here
oh Mrs. Potato head tell me...
Viet Lee oh mr. potato head tell me, how do you afford her surgery. Do u swear youll stay forever, even if her face don't stay together
Damn, the aesthetic in this video is amazing!!
I'm Pan-Chan IKR😍
This is so aesthetic !
ikr
it's so funny how we're calling how we used to live in the 90's "aesthetic". its just really funny to think about. if we went back in time and called them that, they would be so confused haha :D
I was born 1997 and probably everyone thinking "nope not a 90's kid" but I grew up with all the same things.
Twitter : shinirmah Same!! I'm a late '90s kid too, also Jackson lol
Do you have older siblings? I was born in 1995 and noticed that people born in the mid-90s identify a lot more with the 90s if they had older siblings! My brother is 6 years older than me and I watched lots of the shows he watched (Boy Meets World, Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina) and listened to the music he listened to. My friend, on the other hand, has no older siblings and we sometimes even experience a bit of a generation gap because of it! She's never even seen Boy Meets World and was never into NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys like I was. Our childhoods were pretty different.
Mindy Pajor same! I was born 95 and my brother was born in 89 and we grew up with him exposing me to many classic shows and music
Same, I was born in 1999, people always say that Im not a real 90´s kid.. But I still remember those things
same here!
so artistic, so Wes Anderson like, so AMAZING.... Looove this Karen!! 😍😍😍
I thought the same thing!
All of this!! And blowing the Nintendo games
TheLineUp Yes!!!!! Those were the days!!!
Karen! I've been following you for years and this is one of the best produced things you've put out. Getting major Wes Anderson/Sofia Coppola vibes. Everything was so well done, you're the best :')
YESSSS.
My thoughts exactly ! 😍
catguts
Yes! I was about to come here and say it reminded me of Wes Anderson
+Amanda Miller Hess for sure. Was so similar to Napoleon Dynamite.
LISA FRANK hahahaha. also, rocking out w/ a walkman & rewinding cassette tapes with your finger ☝️ loved this! for some reason it feels older than 90s. like another universe. so nostalgic. Anyway, I miss group chats with friends on AIM & decorating my AIM subprofile w/ bunnies and lyrics LOL.
I already liked the video before watching it
me too
me too LOL
oh my god same 😂
Same
good boy
i was born in the 2000's and i grew up with all of this, not one thing is missing.
some people born in early 2000 still had the same thing..
daendhydoesmc i know..
Same :D Even though I was born in 2003 xD
SAMEZZZZ! I love this video sm btw
Congrats. You never lived in the 90s... so yeah... that's missing
that's it. it's official. THIS VIDEO has proven you to be my favorite youtuber. your style and love for the 90s relates to me on a spiritual level and I LOVE it! thank you for inspiring me
I always wanted to know what it was like back in the 90s. I would ask my mom and she would just go on and on about how great it was and how much she misses it.
your mom was right! :)
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The editing, filming, EVERYTHING.
I miss watching cheesy TVB dramas (on those heavy chunky TVs) with my family whilst huddling around in the living room, I miss the presence of my grandparents around the house before they started to miss their motherland and retired back to Hong Kong, I miss rewatching my old baby videos on the VCR during the early 2000s, I miss the cosy old-fashioned interior decor before we moved into the new house, I miss the days where I actually spent time playing with my older brother before we grew apart and had our own hobbies on the internet/gaming consoles, I miss the old fashioned family gatherings where my cousins actually played together instead of sitting in the corner on our phones, I miss keeping up with a diary because now I feel like I'm losing track of my memories and time.. ah, time is moving too quickly!
THIS IS AMAZING! The whole setup, props and music!
I wonder where the location is! It's perfect 😍
What do I miss from my childhood?
How I could pass through the day without a care in the world. Riding my bike down hills and past parks, down nature trails and to my grandma's house. I would go around all day having fun with my brother. I had him and he had me.
When the day sky would change into a deep blue, and the street lamps had come on. We would head home. There we watched old movies from our giant collection. And I would try to convince my brother that I saw him cheat in our mancala game. We would fall asleep to the sound of muffled voices coming from the box set. Only the dim lamp light showing signs of life in our cozy basement room.
We fell asleep with the thought of what bike trail we would go on in the morning. What time we would visit grandma. Or If we would go play basketball or swing on the playset. Maybe we would help mom cook. Or see who could catch the most grasshoppers.
Life was good.
YAAAS! This was my childhood, as well! Especially watching Titanic in the evening with my parents! And you had 'Goosebumps'! I loved (and still love!) this series. I think I had nearly every book and reading was a big part of my childhood! What I miss the most is in fact the reading part. Now I'm so distracted by the Internet and Netflix, back in the days I came home from school and read the whole day. Or I went over to my friends and we were sharing books. What else I miss is riding with the bike to school. Nearly everyone came with the bike to school and on the place where you lock them we were meeting and chatting a little bit. And what I really miss are those 'friend books'. Were every friend became it's own site and wrote something in it. And I miss the mixtapes! Friends were always sharing their music on mixtapes. When I think about it, I miss so many things from my childhood! Sigh, feeling really nostalgic right now....
(And to the Leo part, I remember when everyone saied that his carrer is now over, after watching Titanic and he will never be as succesful as then! Haha!)
So true.. To me The end of the 90s was the end of the age of innocence... I never thought that the 90s would end, it was the best of times. I mean it had its share of setbacks but I can never again be that young girl, the youth of growing up, Grandeous times... The 90s weren't supposed to end.. But they did... 😢😢
The time when everyone takes a break from what they were doing and gather up infront of the tv for that prime time tv show is the best
angelica kirana agree
Every country's 90s like have the same childhood 💕💕love this
This kinda feels more 50s than 90s. But it's a cool aesthetic u got going
i was born in the early 00's which sucks bc i dont have the 90s to look back on, but idc, when i grow up i want a vintage 80s or 90s house with 80s or 90s nick nacks bc i love those decades so much
hann j. michaels Look back on your own "childhood decade". Why do you 2000s teens and children desire to feel attached to the 1990s?
Everybody Loves D. Sunshine because there where a lot of cool things in those eras and it was like we had a little glimpse of that era as a child and we want to just want to grasp onto it
love the way this is shot. moonrise kingdom vibes anyone?
I can see youngsters these days being like 'i have an iphone and you didnt back in the 90s' but OH MAN those were the years.
One of the best videos ive ever seen
Am I the only one who has not experienced the 90s life but still LOVES it? lol😂 And Karen I love this video! Dat moonrise kingdom vibeeee
spot on karen, spot on! I miss building forts, playing my gameboy, watching titanic too!
KARENNN!! This was amazing brb re-watching 💘
ah cassie and ricci!
I was born in 1990 so I am the definition of the 90s kid. I miss it every day. I guess the simpler life, we had no social media and no advanced internet. We would read encyclopedias instead of googling stuff, the lack of social media was good because of no cyberbullying and you know what? I think we were happier. Of course is very practical having all of nowadays, for example, to watch the tv shows I had to be there the exact time, we would wait excitedly to not miss the show because would not repeat it. Sometimes the repeats were on Saturdays and you had to wait that hehe. I had no pager because I was very little and was expensive but I remember cousins that had it. I loved walkman was fun. Remember of roller disco?? That was fun. I often remember all that and smile.
This is cute though I'm getting more of a 60's/70's vibe from all the wood lol. The music also isn't very 90's but it's a cute video! Love your creativity
this video is the kind that you can watch over and over and never get tired of it, i love how it looks legit like 90s!!
Although the actual eras weren't consistent - there was 40s, 70s, 80s, as much as anything from the 90s - I think that was actually what you were going for! Good vid x
I'm a '96 kid but all these hit home for me because my family still had the things from when they were younger. One thing I'm really sad about is that our collection of VHS tapes are gone because we moved houses almost every year and mom didn't want to bring them with us. :( nevertheless, outstanding video. You inspire me sm. The 90's was an amazing decade. Keep killin it karen!
Cool video, I liked it. It was a weird mash up of the 60s and 90s. Rotary phones were way out of date in the 90s and the background music was reminiscent of the first half of the 20th century.
I'm really surprised at how many people are nitpicking some of your stylistic choices (music, decor) when it's obvious you chose them based on the Wes Anderson theme! There's so much unoriginal and uncreative shit on UA-cam nowadays, I don't understand why they're focusing their energy on complaining about your video which is hands down one of the most refreshingly original videos I've seen on UA-cam in awhile, maybe ever. You've gained a new subscriber :)
I love this so much even tough I wasn't even born until 1999
ARMY
Wings is coming :''v byee
This has got to be my favourite video of all time in any UA-cam channel it’s so nostalgic and choreographed to perfection
Why choose music that is so 1940s when the focus of the video was quintessential 90s? That was jarring for me but everything else was awesome! And you could still easily do all these things now if you wanted to! haha :-)
SaintOrCinema Because the music fits the Wes Anderson style she was going for.
I agree with you. I thought the choice of music disrupted the 90s aesthetic - which was otherwise very well produced.
But was she going for a Wes Anderson style? Isn't that just the style that other people have attributed to this video without her actually aiming for that? She usually has her own style.
Wes Anderson has a very distinct style and I don't think we're putting words in her mouth to say she was at the very least inspired by his style in the making of this video. It explains the "odd" choice of music everyone is complaining about.
SaintOrCinema of coarse you can do all of these things now, but the reason you would do them back then is because you had no choice. Everything in the video you saw was simply because of the time and the technology that wasn't like it is now, so technically of coarse you can do it today, but why would you if you have a phone?
something i love about karen is how much effort she puts into her videos. i wasnt even born in the 90's but i looove the feel+quality of this vid. excellent work, karen!!
I'm in LOVE with this video style and the house. WOAAAAH.
I miss everything, from being able to play outside go bike riding, walking to go buy candy from the local small store with out being called for by the police or your parents not getting blamed. How boy bands and girl bands were a thing and no one talked about sex and drugs much. How innocent thing we're back in the 90's. Roller blading, listening to CD's, and writing notes to your buff about your crush at school. Good memories.
Getting soooooooooo many Wes Anderson vibes from this video... This is probably one of the best, most creative & artistic videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. This makes me SOOOO excited for your Moonrise Kingdom-inspired video.
This was so cute! That house looks amazing! Things I miss from my childhood:
1. getting my allowance on fridays and riding the bike to a little store and spending it all on candy and pokemon cards.
2. sleepovers at grandma and grandpa
3. summer evenings when all the kids in the neighbourhood would gather by the swingset and play gameboy
4. walkie-talkies
The font and colour grading gives me Moonrise Kingdom vibes
The only title you are allowed to give Karen is QUEEN OF VINTAGE AESTHETICS!!! I'm just in love with this!!
The editing and the scenery in this video is great! Very interesting to watch!
We all know there are so much more we miss from the 90s. I was fortunate to grow up as a 9 year old in 1994. Early 90s was ripe of the things that made the 90s. There are two types of nostalgia of the 90s - 1) for Kids 2) for adults. The Kids experienced never before seen inventions of toys and video games. Toy & video game Manufactures were the early pioneers of what the kids liked at that time . Once the kids got into their early teens in the late 90s, the girls loved the rise of boy bands and boys still loved video games and new music. The adults at that time (like my father) owned an electronics business and the late 80s and early 90s were the best time to own a business selling electronics. He also sold audio and video which was huge in demand for all consumers. Hand held cameras and new audio systems were so popular that my always had to travel 40 miles in los angeles to meet his seller to get more cameras. It was J. Kwon, a korean distributor (not the rapper). As a boy, my 90s favorites were 90s morning cartoons of Toon Town, TGIF lineup, goosebumps books (and tv show), board games, christmas time, 90s movies, sega genesis, gameboy, laser tag and the light up shoes. Then in the late 90s in my teens, it was skateboarding, surfing, volcom, etnies, playstation and n64 and we cant forget the music! Every middle school played will smiths "Gettin Jiggy with it" at their school dances. It was also the time we discovered mad crushes on girls and it interfered with your school work. So many things I could say. But well done on this video.
It sucks that you can't sniff old books nowadays
Molly Rose lol XD hard to read sarcasm in writing
i love every little detail from this so much and i love how you added all those simple things that encapsulate the 90's like rewinding the tape with your finger. I very much so miss this era too :(
THIS IS PERFECT💜
I had inflatable furniture. I also had a CD player in my room that I jammed to Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Aaron Carter, Britney Spears and PINK 💗😍 ohh the days!
PS. My yellow game boy color still works loaded with Pokémon crystal lol 😂
Caroline McAninch Aaron Carter!!! hahahahaha What about Hanson?
I remember watching Disney movies on vcrs, and slowly transitioning to CDs - and even more slowly to online streaming.
Reminds me of Wes Anderson 💕
I miss these days so much .
where did you even go to film this? even the house feels on point
I wish kids would still live like this today... I didn't grow up in the 90s, but thankfully I managed to live my childhood before the age of iPhones and Internet overpowered imagination. Loved this video so much💜
watching titanic on vcr and putting up posters of leo are still things that i do haha
I'm so obsessed with the short-film vibe this has! You so good, girl. So good! And also now missing the 90's. Dunkaroos, come back to me ASAP.
So good!
major moonrise kingdom vibes 😍 i just finished planning a suzy bishop video with this aesthetic right before i watched this lol
I love this so much! I miss playing make believe as a kid.
this is incredible!!!!! you mastered the robert yeoman/wes anderson style, you have an *incredible* eye for mise en scène! ♥♥♥
This was very Wes Anderson!
Yep
Isn't that the Lisa Frank diary and stationery? 90's were the best! Golden era to grow up in.
Who the hell was using a rotary in the 90's?! I wasn't, I had that cool ass see thru phone that lit up when it rang LOL. Tetris was EVERYTHING. I miss making mixtapes, and the precision you needed to record a song off the radio without getting the commercial.
Tbh I miss how easy it was to ask friends or neighbours to play outside. Everyone I know is a homebody 😣 and all I want to do is explore the outdoor world! Bike rides where you at????
until today, I STILL SMELL OLD BOOKS. Wait, I smell almost everything! HAHAHAHA
I miss every weekend or holidays indulging myself with TVB dramas from episode to episode nonstop
I saw in the comments that people were saying this had a Wes Anderson vibe to it and I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that lol!
honestly Karen is one of the most creative youtubers I simply adore her
You are SO fucking good at what you do Karen
AND sniffing old books isn't weird... because I still do it till this day.. 🤗
oh, the music its like from the 40s
Wow! This was such a beautiful production, and oddly enough made a 2000’s kid feel nostalgic. For some reason it was calming to know that even though i was born three years too late, i could still relate so much with almost everyone one of these. Good work!
I was going to say it looks so much like a Wes Anderson film until it was confirmed by that phone call.
You are always so incredibly creative! Gosh this took me wayyy back - love it!
is this a wes anderson movie
If I may look beyond the surface of what I miss about the 90s, it's that people in general were more polite.
W E S A N D E R S O N
i love the whole vibe of this video Karen and it is so aesthetically pleasing. i love how you put all your hard work in filming and editing all your videos :) ♥
this is my 4th time watching this lmao I'm too obsessed
I am honestly so amazed at how a single video triggered so many emotions for me. The videography was amazing, editing was on point. Plus your outfits and makeup were stunning! I hope you make more! Amazing job!
It was the 2000s that the vcr tv came out, i remember it, born in 1991
idk why no one's talking about how nicely put together the decor is, i actually had a couch similar to the one in the video as a kid and i miss it
this was one of your best videos! but, you know you can do like half of that stuff now still right?
Sigh, but it doesn't feel the same anymore
This was so nostalgic! When you pulled out that Goosebumps book, I knew this was the one. R.L. Stine was the author who got me into the love of reading. I can smell the old book smell now!
okay but i need myself that Leo poster! please, anyone knows where she got it from???
"I often find myself reminiscing the days before the internet and how much slower everything felt" - That's exactly the vibe I got from your video, Karen. Well done! :)
Please do a how you edit your videos video😭😭
The cute shimmery and scented lipgloss was one of my faves in my childhood, also the high pig tales and turtle necks you would wear to school😂💓✨
when you wrote " i
Cute video! But the rotary phone & tape cassette was outdated for the 90's. The princess touch phone was replacing it during the 80's, & CD's was replacing records/tape cassettes/VHS. I always used pencil to manually rewind the tape cassette. What I miss about the 90's were Body Shop stores were I bought Leap perfume, tech stores that had interesting novelty items, & big open book stores, Drew Carey Show, the popularity of alternative rock.
rip radio shack
the music?? not so 90s but anyway great video
I love how creative and different your videos are! Your so original
