'Babysitting the kids across the street at age 10': 21 things that were acceptable in the 90s, but not today

One of the most telltale signs that you are getting older is when you look back on the way that things were in your childhood or early adulthood, and it feels like a totally different universe from the one that we are living in now. Depending on perspective, sometimes it is a good thing that certain practices are a relic of the past, and other times, it is sad to see that mainstream culture has changed so much in this direction. 

Even for the stuff that is probably best resigned to history, it is not uncommon to feel a certain sense of nostalgia. It is amazing how much can change in under half a century, and for those who feel like the 90s could not possibly have ended more than ten years ago, it is all the more mind-blowing.
