Talk to the hand was likely one of the most annoying teenagerisms ever devised and promulgated. That made me want to just deck every kid who pulled it.
Well... Wikipedia says it came from hip-hop music in the 90s. But since I am white as rice and lived in the sticks, it took a couple decades to be widespread enough to ever hear it I guess. 🤷♂️
IMO, that mindset pretty much died the day the towers fell. There was and has been a little "it's the 21st century" or "it's " but they're generally not marked by as much optimism (or subversion of the same) as it was in the '90s.
In the phrase "it's the 90s" the connotation was optimistic, things are improving, et cetera. In "it's the 21st century" or "it's 202x" the idea is normally about how tech has or should have improved, in my experience. Like, the 90s phrase could be used for just about anything, "it's the 90s, Jimmy, everyone's cool with the gays!" Or whatever else. It was optimism and hope and a belief that things were improving. Now it's just "it's 2025, why the fuck doesn't my debit card work?" Or "in the year of our Lord 2021, why does no one believe the scientists?"
Psych!

Did I do that?
I mention these because nobody wants to admit they said/heard them, but they did and it happened.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!
"No homo" is from the 2010s, not the 90s.
Hah, I guess it lasted a long time. Pretty sure people in my school were saying it at least a decade prior

I distinctly remember it in 99

Also the old Taco Bell mascot and "yo quiero Taco Bell "
Yo quiero, taco bell! Is how I mentally hear the dog.
I can’t remember if “Aw snap!” Is nineties or noughties…
I first heard it in the early '80s.
It's / This is the '90s [then a statement about how things are better / different / more enlightened]
That's so true. I think it would have kept being said in the following decades if people knew what to call them.

I feel like this might be from something else because I have a friend who said this, but she doesn't play video games.

The Juggernaut video was 2005, and the Fenslerfilms clips were around 2003. So neither of those are '90s
