About two months after the internet was obsessed with the year 2016, now it’s the ‘90s that are in vogue. People on the internet are asking, and answering, a single question: What were you like in the ‘90s?
NBC’s Joe Fryer unpacked the trend that’s leaving people longing for life 30 years ago in a TODAY segment that aired on March 12. Some of the biggest ‘90s stars, from John Stamos to Drew Barrymore, have already participated. And the Goo Goo Dolls, whose song is included in the trend, are weighing in, too.

The trend is simple. People film themselves in the present day with questions like this atop the screen: “Mom, what were you like in the ‘90s?” or “Dad, what were you like in the ‘90s?”
Then comes a montage of photos and videos of the same person in the ‘90s. The Goo Goo Dolls classic “Iris,” playing over the photos and videos, heightens the nostalgia.
