Kids Today Would Never Survive the 90s Pt. 1

Why is Everyone's Obsessed With 90s Nostalgia

This week on Inspired by the 90s, we’re taking a hilarious trip back to one of the most chaotic — and character-building — childhood eras ever. We’re talking about the things today’s kids would NEVER survive: staying outside all day without checking in, drinking from the hose, prank calls, no Apple Pay, no participation trophies, and being forced to watch Maury or Jerry Springer when you stayed home from school. We also unpack how parenting has changed since the 90s — from emotional awareness and mental health conversations to more active fathers and the reality of raising kids in a technology-driven world. Plus, we play a nostalgic game of “Guess the Price” comparing everyday costs from 1995 to 2026… and some of these prices will absolutely shock you. If you grew up in the 90s, this episode will feel like one giant flashback filled with laughs, memories, and reminders of why our generation is built different. 🎙️ Inspired By The 90’s Podcast 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@inspiredbythe90s 🎵 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@inspiredbythe90spod 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inspiredbythe90spod 🎵Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspired-by-the-90s/id1880593019 🎵Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5mkWPYMTAVpvcR8jzzbmQn?si=SNLOw_TKRb2JsnJ7cIEq8A

Kids Today Would Never Survive the 90s Pt. 1

If you grew up in the 90s, you already know… things were DIFFERENT. 😅 In Part 1 of this episode, we’re talking about the unsupervised chaos that was growing up in the 90s — from being outside all day with no phones, to riding bikes across neighborhoods, to answering house phones we probably shouldn’t have answered. We’re also diving into: *  Things 90s kids got away with that kids today never could  *  The lack of supervision we somehow survived  *  "Be home before the street lights come on" era  *  No GPS, no cell phones, no way to contact your parents  *  Why kids today are growing up in a completely different world  Growing up in the 90s meant independence, imagination, and sometimes… questionable parenting decisions 😅 but it also shaped who we are today. Were we tougher… or just slightly traumatized but still thriving? Let’s talk about it. If you’re a 90s kid, this episode is going to bring back some memories. Inspired by the 90s is a podcast about growing up in the 90s, navigating life now, and everything in between.

Adulting is a Scam

Millennial life is… not exactly what we pictured. Between adulting, finances, relationships, and just trying to keep it all together, there’s a lot nobody really prepared us for. This episode taps into the real, unfiltered side of figuring life out in your 20s and 30s—where expectations don’t always match reality. From navigating everyday responsibilities to redefining what success and stability actually look like, we’re getting honest about the journey. If you’ve ever felt like you’re still trying to figure things out while everyone else seems ahead, you’re not alone. If it feels like adult life is running the biggest scam on you, this is for you. This is a conversation for anyone learning, unlearning, and growing in real time.  🎙️ Inspired By The 90’s Podcast 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@inspiredbythe90s 🎵 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@inspiredbythe90spod 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inspiredbythe90spod 🎵Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspired-by-the-90s/id1880593019 🎵Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5mkWPYMTAVpvcR8jzzbmQn?si=SNLOw_TKRb2JsnJ7cIEq8A

Adult Stress vs Childhood Dreams

You ever feel like you’ve been in survival mode so long you forgot what thriving feels like? In our first episode, we dig into who we were before adulthood — before trauma, before expectations, before the grind. We talk about how we’ve supported each other for years without ever building together — and why this podcast is happening right now.  We laugh. We get honest. We play “90s Kid or Trauma Response?” And we ask the question our younger selves might be thinking: “Is this who we said we’d become?” If you’re in your 30s trying to find your way back to yourself — this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Inspired By The 90’s Podcast 📺 YouTube https://youtube.com/@inspiredbythe90s 🎵 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@inspiredbythe90spod 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inspiredbythe90spod 🎵Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inspired-by-the-90s/id1880593019 🎵Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/5mkWPYMTAVpvcR8jzzbmQn?si=SNLOw_TKRb2JsnJ7cIEq8A
