Y2K.

I survived idiocy of managers asking for Y2K compliant padlocks. As in, physical padlocks.

Not a word, but the phrase "going online". As in not being constantly connected at all times. We had to actually "get" online to look at stuff.

Clear craze.

As in technology. Translucent gadgets were all the rage. Not quite one word, I was going to go with translucent, but found it actually had a name.

The 90s had an obsession with slime/goop. Toys, mascots, etc.
