Polls are closed on this portion of the bracket, but vote on Pastimes and Events right here.

It might be 2010, but here at CollegeCandy we’re still stuck in the ’90s. All you have to do is say Chumbawhumba and we’re off and running on a ’90s nostalgia debate that lasts the entire day. We know we’re not the only people out there that still rock out to N’Sync and still remember the desperation you felt when you lost your favorite Pogs slammer. So instead of constantly arguing amongst the CollegeCandy team, we decided to throw the question out to our readers and choose, once and for all, what is the best thing to come from the ’90s (besides our many devoted readers, of course).

So, in the fashion of every guy’s wet dream, March Madness, we’ve created an “I Love the ’90s” bracket. Today we’re voting on the best of entertainment and trends from our favorite decade, and on Thursday we’ll narrow down our ’90s pastimes and events. Keep checking back every Monday and Thursday this month so you can keep letting us know what is the best thing to ever come from the 1990 and beyond.

P.S. We know, we know – we’re missing a lot. It was a hard decision narrowing it down to 64 awesome things and we’re still upset that there’s no face-off between Britney and Christina. Did we miss something major? Let us know in the comments.

Get an up-close and personal look at Entertainment and Trends.
And take a little sneak peek at what you’ll be voting on (Recreation and Events) Thursday.

Ready to vote? Pick your favorite from each match-up below. We’ll tally the scores and let you know who won when we gear up for the next round of votes on Thursday! And don’t forget to take a trip down memory lane and sound off in the comments!

    OMG Gel pens. I was obsessed with those things even though they barely showed up on paper. I can't even read any of the messages people put in my yearbooks.

    One phrase,for better or worse,succintly sums up the '90s: "Heyyyyyy Macarena!"

    Anyone got a problem with that?

    Many of these trends/fads/what have you are from the 80s and just crossed over into the 90s.

    The 90s? A whole lot of good, a whole lot of bad. Wasn't sad to see 1999 roll over to 2000. Of course that brought out all the Y2K idiots. Made even worse by the fact that 2000 was not the start of the new millenium. No? Why do you think author Arthur C. Clarke titled his book 2001: A Space Odyssey?
