Think back — way back — to 16 years ago: Welcome to 1997.
It was a simpler time, when we spiced up our lives with five British chicks, believed we were kings of the world aboard the Titanic, invented Flubber, and Jewel reminded us that dreams last for so long (even after you're gone).
We went to our best friend's wedding with Julia Roberts, and we believed we could fly, even touch the sky. Our Tamagotchis died — countless times — and everyone found out what we did last summer.
We even screamed with Courtney Cox and did the Macarena (not simultaneously, though).
Unfortunately, time machines have yet to be perfected, so our only way to reminisce about a great period from the past is through this mega mashup song by thepeterson. Things were pure, life was good, music came from boy bands.
Listen, and see how many throwback references you can spot. Then tell us your favorite '97 memory in the comments below.
