11 Photos Of What Instagram Would Have Looked Like In The 90’s
A trip down memory lane….
I can not be the only one who thinks 2005 was only a few years ago, the year that YouTube was founded, when Kanye West told America, ‘Bush doesn’t care about black people’ and when Christopher Nolan’s Batman (Trilogy) commenced.
The 90’s was definitely the best time period to grow up, kids played outside and actually interacted with one another – unlike today where I see 5-year-olds with iPhones!
A combination of my birthday coming up and the fact that I spend way too much socially acceptable time on social media (mostly Instagram) had me thinking of what my timeline would look like if I had been scrolling through Instagram in the 90’s, at the height of my 4-year-old adolescent life.
Here are our top 11 photos of what Instagram would have looked like in the 90’s.
1. Who needs iMessage, FaceTime, Snapchat, Snake was the only app we needed! Does anyone want to try and beat my high score?
2. Furbies (They were cute the first 10 minutes, and then you would be trying to go to sleep and suddenly your Furby would wake up and talk… yeah maybe it’s good this one didn’t make it past early years)
Shouts out to all the #Furbies out there, photo taken with #Kodak 9000 #photography #art #urbanexploration #model #mcm #mancandy #mancrush #furbycrush #furbylife #furbylover A photo posted by Joe Zador, Future Cool StepDad (@joey_cheeze) on
3. Myspace Top 8 (The original friend/relationship ruiner. Don’t worry Snapchat, your best friend feature was right next to it (p.s Snapchat please bring that feature back).
4. Wishing your life was like Skins
OMG there’s going to be a SKINS CONVENTION in Brazil on May 23, 2016. Why don’t I live in Brazil? Hannah (Cassie), Joe (Chris), Lily (Naomi), and Alex (Rich) are OFFICIALLY going. #tumblr #tumblrgrunge #pastel #art #softgrunge #pastelgrunge #lfl #f4f #grunge#music #tumblrfeed #grungefeed #skinsuk#skins #cassieainsworth#joedempsie #hannahmurray#naomicampbell#lilyloveless#chrismiles#alexarnold #richhardbeck#skinsconvention A photo posted by SKINS UK (@alienandpsycho) on
5. Myspace Surveys, because answering 100 pointless questions as stupid as possible was fun.
6. Nokia’s and Razers. When Razers became the iPhone in comparison to Nokia’s, but let’s be honest, Nokia’s are the real MVP. Battery life for days ????,
No whatsapp. No Line. No BBM. No find my phone. Simply call. Sms and Snake. Heheh those were the times #memories #nokia #onceuponatime #nostalgia A photo posted by daninh68 (@daninh68) on
7. Having your wall completely covered in images of your favourite bands or shopping bags.
8. SPICE GIRLS SNM
9. MSN chats

10. Getting drunk off of WKD and Caribbean Twist
11. A much simpler time when we only knew little about the Kardashians
