Fads: Then and Now

Okay, so I don't consider myself to be TOO old, but now that I reflect on it, I'll be 20 next year! Looking at kids/tweens now, I see the similarities...and the differences. By then, I mean the 1990's to early 2000's. And by now, I mean later 2000's. Mainly fads and technological advances, but here are a few I can recall from my youth.
