You could say that it was <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/1990s-everyday-photos-life\/\" target=\"_blank\">more about America being on the verge of massive change<\/a> than actual change. But what about the popular culture?<\/p>\n<h3>What Celebrity Culture Looked Like Before the Internet<\/h3>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Friends Cast<\/span><\/p><figcaption>&#8216;Friends&#8217; was peak &#8217;90s in every way. (Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The decade was a moment in time, right before the internet, which would change everything about the way we live our lives. In fact, children growing up in the &#8217;90s are commonly referred to as \u201cthe last pre-internet generation\u201d since they were the last to know life before it all changed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/iconic-magazine-covers-1980s-1990s\/\">The Most Iconic Magazine Covers From the &#8217;80s and &#8217;90s<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At this point, cameras weren&#8217;t in everyone&#8217;s pocket (though disposable cameras were all the rage). While you had some AOL chat rooms and the like, social media didn&#8217;t exist. Celebrity culture still felt a little mysterious, less polished \u2014 and in some ways, more human.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette<\/span><\/p><figcaption>Stylish &#8217;90s couple JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette and dog Friday.

Kennedy Jr. &amp; Carolyn Bessette<\/em>. The show has the distinct &#8217;90s New York casual elegance down to a science.<\/p>\n<p>You can see the aesthetic everywhere again. Minimalist black dresses, crisp white shirts (Carolyn&#8217;s &#8220;boyfriend&#8221; shirt after her night with John is heavily featured), and relaxed all-American looks that dominated GAP ads, J. Crew catalog covers, and Calvin Klein\u00a0campaigns (which also play heavily in the series). John Jr.&#8217;s fashion also spills into the frenzy, with recent\u00a0TikToks making fun of finance boys suddenly surprising their girlfriends by wearing backwards Kangol hats and biking to work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-post-image \">\n<figure class=\"img-tag has-sizer alignnone\">\n<p><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Kevin Costner<\/span><\/p><figcaption>A nimble, GAP-style moment from \u201990s style icon Kevin Costner. (Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Looking back at celebrity photos from the decade, you might be surprised just how different the vibe was, considering it&#8217;s not all that long ago. With gossip culture relegated mostly to magazines and newspapers, celebrities felt less urgency to protect their privacy, so things felt more laid back. The internet would change all that.<\/p>\n<p>And judging by the renewed obsession with \u201990s fashion and pop culture, that easygoing vibe is clearly having another moment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"photogallery-wrapper blog-photogallery \">\n<h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">The \u201990s Are Back: Let&#8217;s Look at the Famous Faces Who Made the Decade Iconic<\/h2>\n<div class=\"photogallery-description\">\n<p>Feeling nostalgic for the \u201990s?
