Visuals: While a lime green background consisting of copies of the Nickelodeon 90s Kids logo slowly slides to the right, widescreen copies of three rotating VHS tapes colored orange, gold, and lime green slide before the copy present in most of the screen rests in the center. It covers the screen, cutting to a brief sequence of three stacks of VHS tapes, each consisting of five lime green, three gold, and two tapes stacked on top of one another. It rapidly slides to the right where the animation now simulates soundwaves, briefly glitching by stretching vertical and horizontal after several frames. After the latter stretching sequence, an outlined gold triangle that changes to the colors teal, magenta, and purple zooms in and rapidly spins counterclockwise while an upside down version of the 2009 Nickelodeon logo stretches from the center to the top, leaving a long trail. Several smaller objects also appear such as a teal squiggle, an outlined magenta square, a purple triangle, a magenta squiggle, a lime green splat, and a teal dot, all of which quickly change colors. When the main triangle stops spinning, "90's" with a white shadow facing the bottom right is drawn on top of the upper section of the triangle while a teal box with a purple shadow facing the same direction as "90's"' shadow expands at the main triangle's center, gaining pieces from the box's top left to bottom right. " KIDS " is typed in while the box expands. While all of this is happening, the VHS sequence distorts for one final time before its normal position is displayed.
Technique: Live-action modelling effects and 2D computer animation.
Audio: An upbeat electronic soundtrack plays in the background while a male voice reads "In the 90's, this was streaming. Stick around and think about that for a sec".
