Frosty_Glass mentioning seeing people born in the late 90s being into this sort of nostalgia gumbo aesthetic, and that made me realize something: if you were a toddler at the end of a period of a certain kind of culture or fashion, it'll get logged in your brain as something vague and mysterious, that you never fully understood, yet it's especially interesting because it was gone before you could really comprehend it. Things like this will stand out to you, and you'll see remnants of stuff you remember throughout your life, like assorted clothes and knick-knacks at thrift stores, magazines at used bookstores, and reruns on TV. Combine those with seeing advertisements like this:

and your mind sort of pieces together what a kid's room in that time might have looked like, because you're imagining it through rose-tinted glasses. That's what those ads in

Of course, any of us could tell you that those aren't at all what kids' rooms of the 90s looked like. Most of the furniture would be old hand-me-downs, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it still is, considering how much 21st century furniture is just MDF junk.
