What is 90s slang?

[Mateo]

I’ve been hearing a lot about 90s slang and I’m curious what words and phrases were popular back then. What kind of slang did people commonly use in the 1990s, and what did those terms actually mean? Are some of them still used today, or are they mostly outdated now? I’d love to know a few classic examples and how they were used in everyday conversations during that era.
