The twist is, the show isn't set in the '90s. Instead, beloved '90s characters, technologies and toys are displaced in the contemporary world. What are the kids from the Magic School Bus up to? What if you ditched your iPod for your CD player? Where is Waldo now, anyways?
Inspired by the recent popularity of '90s nostalgia and pop culture, Hey '90s Kids, You're Old tests your '90s IQ and explores what it means to be a '90s kid in a post '90s world. "We're not old, obviously," says Parrish, "but we're the last generation to have experienced a childhood free of the Internet, cell phones, and social media. We feel old because so much has changed in so little time. What would our favorite '90s characters be like if they had to grow up, like we did?"
