What comes to mind when you talk about '90s gaming? The relentless rumble of a Playstation controller clutched in your hands as you blasted Sweet Tooth in "Twisted Metal"? Yelps and shouts from the back seat of your parents' car as you splatted Goombas on your GameBoy Color? The madcap ad campaigns of the Sega vs. Nintendo console wars?

These images of home video games at the end of the last century stick because they directly produced today's game culture. We still play games on consoles, and many of those series persist today. But there was a whole other, more grown-up gaming world flourishing at that same time in neon-lit, tootling arcades. Midway Games, creators of classics like "Mortal Kombat" and "NBA Jam," dominated that industry – and now their history will be recorded for the first time in a documentary: "Insert Coin" by former Midway developer Josh Tsui.

Partially filmed but still awaiting funding on Kickstarter, Tsui's "Insert Coin" documents an era when game companies operated like anarcho-capitalist arts fraternities. Midway was an extreme example.

"It was a bit like walking into a tent city," he tells Tech Insider. The video games division of the company was squashed into a corner of a building set up to build mechanical arcade machines. "I can't imagine HR letting things go the way they did at a company today."

Midway churned out short hits built to compete for player's attention – and quarters– in dark, loud, bustling arcades.

Designers largely had free reign over their creations, Tsui says, and often followed absurd ideas from inception to release. The GIF at the top of this article comes from "Revolution X," a 1994 shooter featuring Aerosmith. Here's how Midway pitched the band on the idea:

No PR agents. No go-betweens. Just a video letter with all the unnecessary special effects of a 3AM cable ad for dish cleaner ... to one of the biggest rock bands in the world.

And the thing is, it worked. This for the same reason celebrities and sports franchises hitched their brand to Midway: they were raking in the cash.

Tsui says that each unit Midway made sold to an arcade for a few thousand dollars, and their most popular hits raked in tens of thousands of orders. Smash hit "NBA Jam" made a billion dollars alone in its first year.

Developers got a cut of that action too. "[Those bonuses] could definitely get into the six figures," he said.

For all the cash involved though, Midway hung on to its back-of-the-envelope approach to design. Here's a couple of developers trying out tricks to animate:

Tsui says he's the perfect person to tell Midway's history – including visits from Macaulay Culkin, pro wrestlers, and playboy playmates – because he lived it for six years in the '90s. Of course, he showed up as a character model in several games:

If "Insert Coin" gets funded, it could be the most important record of an era in gaming that has almost entirely passed us by. The arcade has moved from the center of the video game universe to the novelty fringe. For Tsui, who now works on console and PC franchises like "Tony Hawk," the documentary is a return to his origins. And for younger game fans, it's a chance for reflected nostalgia about something they might not have even realized was gone.

NOW WATCH: Here's what we know about the new 'Earth' — a planet that could support life

Sure, Donald Trump is known for his colorful run for president, hosting NBC's "The Apprentice" from 2004 to 2015, frequently appearing as a talking head on news shows, or playing himself on "WrestleMania."

But what many have forgotten is that Trump made cameos in a string of '90s TV shows and movies, including "Sex and the City" and "Home Alone 2."

Since Trump's acting seemed to cool off after 2001's "Zoolander" appearance, let's take a walk down memory lane ...

1. "Ghosts Can't Do It" (1989)

In this crime fantasy starring Bo Derek, Trump played himself in a boardroom scene in which he exchanges a few lines with the model turned actress. The role won him a Razzie Award for "worst supporting actor."

In one incredible line, Trump says: "Be assured, Mrs. Scott, that in this room there are knives sharp enough to cut you to the bone and hearts cold enough to eat yours as hors d'oeuvres."

Bo Derek's character responds by flirtatiously saying to Trump: "You're too pretty to be bad."

"You noticed," Trump says with a smile and this pout that will forever haunt your dreams.

Here's a description of the movie from IMDB: "Elderly Scott kills himself after a heart attack wrecks his body, but then comes back as a ghost and convinces his loving young hot wife Kate to pick and kill a young man in order for Scott to possess his body and be with her again."

Watch Trump's full scene here.

2. "Home Alone 2: Lost In New York" (1992)

As The Huffington Post so perfectly summed up: "Kevin McCallister encounters the future leader of the American top ninja apprentice warriors while wandering through the Plaza Hotel, which Trump had bought a few years prior. McCallister asks for directions to the lobby, to which the tycoon responds, not with 'hell toupee,' but with a rather nice, 'Down the hall and to the left.'"

Roger Ebert facetiously described the scene as "heartwarming" in his 2000 book, "I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie."

Watch Trump's full cameo here.

3. "The Little Rascals" (1994)

Trump played "Waldo's Dad" in this classic hit.

The father-son casting was a natural fit:

Watch Trump in the bloopers credit reel here.

4. "The Nanny" (1996)

Trump played himself in one episode of "The Nanny" titled "The Rosie Show." In the episode, Fran suddenly gets famous after giving parenting advice on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," and Trump becomes one of her fancy new celebrity friends.

Fran begins to introduce Trump to her wealthy boss, Mr. Sheffield, but then suddenly realizes: "All you handsome zillionaires know each other."

Watch Trump's full cameo on "The Nanny"here. (11:25)

5. "Spin City" (1998)

Trump once again played himself in an episode of "Spin City" titled "The Paul Lassiter Story." He exchanged a few lines of dialogue with Michael J. Fox about how quickly the real-estate tycoon finished his latest book.

"I wrote nine chapters in the first day," Trump boasts to Fox.

Watch the full episode here.

6. Also in 1998, Trump played himself in Woody Allen's "Celebrity" and a "VIP patron" in the star-studded "Studio 54" movie.

7. "Sex and the City" (1999)

In an episode titled "The Man, the Myth, the Viagra," Trump plays himself having lunch with one of Samantha's potential new love interests.

And just like that, Trump leaves Samantha's suitor to pursue her.

The man even uses Trump's name in his pickup line to Samantha: "Excuse me, I was so distracted by your beauty that I think I just agreed to finance Mr. Trump's next project. You owe me $150 million."

In a voiceover, Sarah Jessica Parker's character Carrie explains: "Samantha, a cosmopolitan, and Donald Trump — you just don't get more New York than that."

Watch the full episode here.

8. "Zoolander" (2001)

"Without Derek Zoolander, male modeling wouldn't be what it is today."

After 2001, Trump's appearances as himself began to dwindle.

But in 2004, he returned to the screen with his own NBC reality show, "The Apprentice," which he only left this summer so that he could focus on campaigning.

Trump reportedly earned $213 million from "The Apprentice" franchise over the years, and the show also earned him two Emmy nods.

NBC and Trump's relationship has soured since he announced his presidential run in mid-June. As a result of controversial statements Trump made regarding Mexican immigration, NBC severed professional ties with him in late June and refused to air his Miss USA Pageant.

Additionally, NBC said it will be moving forward with "Apprentice" without Trump. The network is searching for his replacement.

The '90s were cool.

Pop culture was at its peak — well, at least according to some people.

The Spice Girls, butterfly hair clips, frosted blonde tips, AOL 6.0 free trial CDs, and platform shoes are sorely missed among today's top trends.

So for one day on Saturday, September 12, Brooklyn brought back the 1990s with 90s Fest. 

Thousands of 20-somethings attended in hopes of reliving their glory days (you know, middle school).

Hosted by the king of the '90s himself, Pauly Shore, and with an all star lineup of musical guests including Coolio, Smash Mouth, Tonic and Salt-N-Pepa, it was a day of nostalgia overload. 

Threatening rain did not stop former '90s kids from showing up in big numbers.

Denim, neon, throwback t-shirts, everyone came dressed for the decade.

Even while cloudy the shades were necessary and so was the Sean Kemp jersey.

1990s nostalgia has taken over the world. Nickelodeon is piggybacking off of that and bringing back some of its most beloved shows for a programming block called THE SPLAT. 

The Splat starts on October 5. It'll air nightly from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

The 90s are back.

Or at least they are on Nickelodeon, thanks to “The Splat,” a nightly block where the network re-airs popular 90s series, including “All That.”

In case you’re not familiar with the giant corn, orange soda, and green slime filled sketch comedy show, here’s what you need to know.

“All That” first aired in 1994 and was much like “Saturday Night Live,” just for a younger audience. Fans fell in love with sketches such as “Good Burger” and “Dullmont Junior High School.”

Over it’s 11-year run, the cast even included young actors like Nick Cannon, Amanda Bynes, and Kenan Thompson.

On a panel at New York Comic Con on Saturday, four former cast members, Josh Server, Danny Tamberelli, Lori Beth Denberg, and Kel Mitchell, explained how they landed their spots on “All That.”

Remember the theme song?

Josh Server said he had to go through several rounds of auditions in a nationwide talent search before he nabbed his spot in the cast, including creating four original characters. (He also was the cast member who stayed on the show the longest.)

Server was one of two kids from Chicago, Illinois, cast in the show, Server told the audience at NYCC. 

The other Chicago native, Danny Tamberelli, had a little bit of an easier time getting into the cast.

“They just asked me,” Tamberelli explained on the NYCC panel. “They said, ‘Hey, you’re a funny, chubby kid…Wanna do sketch comedy?’”

Tamberelli had already made a name for himself on two other 90s shows, “The Adventures of Pete and Pete” and “Figure It Out,” when an executive producer for “All That” approached him about joining the cast.  

Though Tamberelli hadn’t done much sketch comedy before, he was up to the task.

“I can recite mostly every sketch of ‘Monty Python’ ever,” Tamberelli said he told the “All That” producer.

Lori Beth Denberg, best remembered for her “Vital Information” news updates on “All That,” said that high school drama class was her ticket onto the show. 

Nickelodeon producers noticed Denberg after a she won a national talent showcase. They called her at school to ask if she wanted to come in for an audition.

“Sure, I’ll come,” Denberg remembers saying tentatively, not quite believing it was a serious offer.

It’s hard to imagine what “All That” would have been like without Kel Mitchell’s antics as characters like Okrah and Coach Kreeton, but that’s almost what happened.

Mitchell showed up late to his audition and totally forgot the words to his prepared monologue, he explained at NYCC.

Luckily, Mitchell tripped on his way off the stage and managed to turn the stumble into a moment of physical comedy. From there, his did comedic impersonations of his uncles, which the producers seemed to like.

Two weeks of “praying” later, Mitchell remembers hearing his mom answer the phone in their house and begin yelling excitedly about “All That.”

The rest, as any "All That" fan will tell you, is orange soda filled history.

NOW WATCH: This guy combined photos of celebrities to create portraits of flawless superhumans

Any Nickelodeon fan has fond memories of the bright orange splatter logo, gooey green slime, and an overall colorful aesthetic.

Many shows, like "Kenan & Kel" or "Slime Time Live" were filmed in front of a live-studio audience in Orlando Florida. But in 2005, this original studio was abandoned and given a dull makeover, forever leaving nostalgic Nickelodeon fans with a dreary image. 

On Tuesday, a "now-and-then" photo of the studio hit the front page of Reddit, immediately depressing all grown-ups who remembered seeing the studio as a beacon of their childhood.

The Imgur post compared the drastic change to the effects of drugs wearing off. 

One Redditor commented: "Those photos make me sadder than I thought they would." 

Here's another photo of the studio back in the channel's heyday:

By 2006, the day-glo facade was already on its way out.

And what it looks like now, according on a vlog found on YouTube:

The studio is now known as the "Sharp Aquos Theater"— home to the iconic "Blue Man Group" performances in Orlando. Several YouTubers have either broken into the abandoned sections, or simply walked the perimeter to check out old show logos and hints of the colorful past. 

If you want an extra punch of nostalgic-blues, check out these ending credits of old Nickelodeon shows, many of which feature exterior shots of the studio:

NOW WATCH: SunnyD just released a hilarious ad recreating the iconic '90s rollerblading kids — all grown up

Warning: '90s nostalgia ahead.

If you're a millennial, odds are you grew up watching a lot of Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, and Warner Bros. animated movies. And if you're not a millennial, you probably had eyes on these movies at one point or another.

But many people may not have realized that actors who were or became powerhouse Hollywood stars lent their vocal talents to many of these animated feature films.

So we have rounded up a group of actors whom we were surprised to see (in retrospect) on the cast list of many movies we enjoyed as youngins'.

Scroll down for a look at 21 actors you probably didn't notice in these '90s movies.

"The Iron Giant" made its debut in 1999, with a robotic main character who broke everyone's heart.

The man behind the metal? Vin Diesel, who is now known for his work in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise and for voicing Groot in "Guardians of the Galaxy."

Another character in the Warner Bros. classic "The Iron Giant" was Annie Hughes, protagonist Hogarth's mom.

Those of us who grew up in the 90s remember the sparkly, rainbow-infused, so-cute-it-hurts animal designs created by Lisa Frank. Anybody who was anybody carried a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper inside a Lisa Frank backpack, and most likely slept in a room plastered with Lisa Frank posters. (True devotees might also remember that Mila Kunis starred in a Lisa Frank commercial!)

Now, you can rekindle your love for the brand with a totally new clothing line. 

The line officially launched last week and includes an array of dresses, leggings, crop tops, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and tanks, all printed with the Lisa Frank's signature patterns and animals like the Dancing Dolphins, Skye the pegasus, Hunter the leopard, and Rainbow Chaser the horse. The items range in price from $25 to $60.

Check out the whole line of designs right here.

NOW WATCH: 'Shark Tank' investor explains what your clothes say about you

I made a huge mistake Wednesday night.

I'd agreed to go to a whiskey tasting immediately after work. What I didn't realize (but should have): tasting means drinking.

Four whiskeys on an empty stomach later, my mistake was palpable in all of my senses. I began Googling nearby places to grab a quick dinner under the table while the instructor prattled on about the different between 15 year and 18 year single malt. (Honestly, I'm still not convinced there's much of one.)

When I noticed the McDonald's a block away, my mind was immediately made up. I had remembered the new Big Mac sizes the company had just released and I knew what I had to have. There was no better opportunity to devour the largest, the Grand Mac, than right now — belly full of whiskey but devoid of food.

I hadn't stepped inside the Golden Arches in a long time. It was exactly how you likely remember it. Spartan, but a little upbeat. I stepped up to the counter and after some forced pleasantries, relayed my order.

"Can I get a Grand Big Mac, please?"

I watched the cashier's eyes grow wide as she realized what I asked for. "Oh, gosh," she whispered under her breath. "Anything else?"

Yes, there was something else. I also purchased a four-piece chicken McNugget. I was feeling myself.

A short while later, my number was called; I grabbed my bag and practically ran home.

"You're gonna need two hands," the box reads. I was undaunted. With one bite, I was instantly transported to another time and place. This wasn't just a bigger Big Mac. It was a portal to 15 years ago, when I was smaller and Big Macs just seemed bigger to me than they really are.

I ate a lot of Big Macs as a kid of the '90s, when nutrition was less of a concern to a working single mom than finding time to feed me something I liked. And, man, I loved Big Macs. Truly. Madly. Deeply.

Naturally, I don't eat that many Big Macs anymore. It's impossible to find the same solace I once did. That's why the Grand Mac was so remarkable. For a moment, I truly felt like a kid again.

For McDonald's to continue to transform its struggling self in the modern food-service landscape, it would do well to look to the past. It's these nostalgic only-'90s-kids-will-get-this experiences that will keep me coming back when I'm looking for comfort.

NOW WATCH: What 'Dilly Dilly' means — and how Bud Light came up with its viral campaign

Zima, a bizarre alcoholic beverage that was popular in the 1990s, is unexpectedly attempting a comeback.

MillerCoors announced that the "first-of-its-kind crystal clear, malt-based, adult beverage" would be available from late June until Labor Day this summer — nine years after the drink was discontinued in 2008. 

Zima is a citrusy and sweet drink, though critics on Reddit have said that the flavor is closer to "Scotch tape with lime" or "lemonade filtered through aluminum foil" than anything else. 

The beer giant is doubling down on '90s nostalgia in its marketing, launching an ad filled with Troll dolls, JNCO jeans, and inflatable sneakers. An old-school Zima website is complete with clip art, Comic Sans, and flashing text boxes. 

The beverage brand has also embraced modern times in the form of an Instagram marketing campaign, popping up on a handful of meme-centric accounts.

Meme accounts are a convenient way to introduce Zima to people who may not have been old enough to drink the beverage in the '90s — or old enough to remember its spectacular downfall. 

While 1.3 million barrels of Zima were sold in 1994, the year it launched nationally, the beverage's sales had fallen to 403,000 barrels by 1996, Slate reported. 

The drink was intended to appeal to people who didn't like beer but wanted a drink with lower alcohol levels in an era when the clear cola drink Crystal Pepsi was making headlines. While the drink found some fans (including underage drinkers), most people apparently just didn't like the taste. 

"The taste was not appealing, and it left you feeling bloated," one drinker told Bloomberg in a 1997 article charting the downfall of the beverage. 

"We had people who liked the idea but not the taste," Robert Joanis, vice-president of marketing for Coors' microbrew unit, told Bloomberg back in 1997. 

Still, it wasn't until the Great Recession in 2008 that Zima was actually discontinued in the US.

"We haven't seen a fallout in the malternative segment this bad since '29," Business Insider's Caroline Waxler wrote in an article headlined"Now We Know We're In A Depression: Zima Being Discontinued!"

So, why is Zima coming back now?

One reason: '90s nostalgia is in. 

According to Tristan Meline, senior marketing manager of innovation at MillerCoorsPlus, "tons of people" have been asking for Zima to make a comeback.

"Whether you remember it or not, this summer is your only chance to taste the 'it' drink of the '90s," Meline said in a statement. 

Will Zima make it past this summer? Probably not. But, if you're craving a sip of the '90s, MillerCoors is hoping you'll buy at least one bottle of Zima — if only to take the Instagram to prove that you did.

NOW WATCH: The right way to eat sushi, according to renowned Japanese chef Nobu Matsuhisa

The INSIDER Summary:

• A bride made her bridesmaids wear this burgundy gown for her wedding in 1995 and in a funny post apologized to her bridesmaids about the gowns.
• Heidi Mann, one of the bridesmaids saw the post and dug up the gown and did a photoshoot of her doing everyday things in the dress as she jokingly said “What do you mean sorry about the dresses? I wear mine all the time.”

When certain things from the ’90s resurface again, like donuts or fashion, we get super nostalgic. (Hey, it was a good decade, okay?!) But there are definitely some things that were popular back in the day that leave us scratching our heads now — like old bridesmaid dresses.

Exhibit A: these seriously fabulous burgundy gowns that children’s author Tammi Sauer made her bridesmaids wear when she married her high school sweetheart in 1995. Sauer told BuzzFeed that she couldn’t find the perfect bridesmaid dress so she had a set made from a pattern.

One of her bridesmaids, Heidi Mann, saw the post and dug up the dress (which her mom had kept for her all these years). She enlisted her kids to help do a photoshoot showing her wearing the frock while doing everyday things. “What do you mean sorry about the dresses? I wear mine all the time,” she joked.

Naturally, the photoshoot went viral. “The way Tammi was so apologetic made me think about how almost every person whose wedding I’d been in hoped I’d be able to wear their dress again,” Mann told Buzzfeed. “I don’t blame them…I did the same thing to my bridesmaids. I was certain I was getting them dresses that they would be able to wear again. I wasn’t.”

NOW WATCH: What happens to your brain and body if you use Adderall recreationally

The 1990s were unlike any other decade. Computers were becoming ubiquitous, junk food was hitting its stride, and there were new advances in kids' toys, from Moon Shoes to Socker Boppers.

Because the internet loves nostalgia and reliving iconic moments, our memories of the 1990s will never truly die. And isn't that a great thing?

Keep reading to see 34 things that all kids raised in the '90s will definitely remember.

Note: A few things on this list aren't exclusively from the '90s, but they were a big part of growing up during that time period even if they existed beyond that decade.

The Scholastic Book Fair and book orders

The Scholastic Book Fair was one of the most anticipated events of the school year. Even kids who didn't like reading remember the joy of leaving class to poke around the book shelves with friends.

Found in 1995, it appears these fairs are still going strong.

Lisa Frank merch

Everything and anything Lisa Frank made you one of the cool kids. They say history repeats itself, so maybe the unicorn trend is just a Lisa Frank folder in food form. 

Blow up furniture

Something so simple and made of plastic seemed like such a big ask for Christmas or your birthday. This trend wasn't very well thought out given the fact that these chairs were totally uncomfortable and ended up being where you put your dirty laundry. 

The 1990s were an amazing time to grow up. "Friends" was still on air, Lunchables and Oreo-flavored cereal were still considered perfectly acceptable meals, and you probably rushed home after school to play on your GameBoy Color.

It's impossible to talk about how great the '90s were without paying homage to the fashion trends that were popular back then. And it just so happens that many of those trends — like chokers, denim on denim, and overalls — are having a moment now, too.

While nostalgia for the '90s is at a high, keep scrolling to see 16 fashion throwbacks that will instantly take you back to the era. 

Vests

Vests were a '90s staple. They could be worn over a shirt, in the same way Rachel Green styled her vest above, or worn as a stand-alone shirt when buttoned up — another look Rachel often sported while serving coffee at Central Perk.

Overalls

Overalls were an easy, low-maintenance look. To make your all-denim ensemble look effortlessly cool, you would wear them with one strap undone.

Butterfly clips

In the '90s, pretty much everyone wore butterfly clips in their hair. The more clips you wore, the cooler you looked. Fishel wasn't the only one who sported the embellished hairdo; Kirsten Dunst, Hilary Duff, and Gwen Stefani were also big fans.

Everyone has a childhood snack they remember fondly from lunch boxes or as a weekend treat.

But depsite a generation with undying love for many of these biscuits, bars, and bags of crisps, a lot of them have been slowly disappearing from supermarket shelves for years.

Whether it's the questionable ice cream flavoured Monster Munch, or the recent travesty that was the Galaxy Truffle from the Celebrations selection box, we all have a retro treat we'll always hold in our hearts and pray will make a reappearance.

Business Insider compiled a list of some of the most saddening tragedies to hit kids' lunchboxes since the 1990s. Keep scrolling to see 50 iconic British foods that have been discontinued, despite calls for their return.

Rowntree's Secret chocolate bar

A delicate nest of milk chocolate strands surrounding a soft, mallowy centre similar to a Walnut Whip, these fragile chocolate bars were almost impossible to bring home from the corner shop still intact. Nevertheless, they were a firm fan favourite until they disappeared in 2003.

Many online petitions have circulated since the bar's untimely end, however fans aren't disheartened and continue to launch social media pages campaigning for the Secret bar's return.

Discontinued back in 2008, the Toffo fanbase erupted when they realised it was missing from sweet shop shelves. That's why, in 2014, when a single remaining packet of the individually-wrapped soft toffees was found in a sweet shop in Dundee, the internet went wild with Toffo fans trying to bargain for the last intact roll.

Galaxy truffles

When fans realised that the Galaxy Truffle had been removed from boxes of Celebrations in the buildup to Christmas 2011, forums across the internet debated the travesty for months. In fact, there are still some active threads today debating which Mars-company sweet should have been axed instead of the national treasure truffle.

From the budding careers of artists like Mariah Carey and Britney Spears to the iconic voice of Whitney Houston, the '90s were full of dance hits and powerful ballads. 

It's hard to believe that Smash Mouth's "All Star" is 18 years old.

Here are 50 songs that every '90s kid will remember. 

"Hold On"— Wilson Phillips

The hit single from Wilson Phillips' debut album won single of the year at the Billboard Music Awards and was featured at the end of 2011's "Bridesmaids" proving this song never goes out of style.

Listen here.  

"Livin' La Vida Loca"— Ricky Martin

Martin's debut English album had a hit with "Livin' La Vida Loca." He won male artist of the year at the Billboard Music Awards, and the song was No. 1 for five weeks. 

Listen here.

"Kiss Me"— Sixpence None the Richer

The song hit No. 2 on the charts and has since been used as the perfect romantic song in numerous TV shows and movies, including "Dawson's Creek" and "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." 

Listen here. 

The INSIDER Summary:

• ASOS is selling a skirt-over-jean look.
• It comes in four colors.
• The statement piece costs between $60 and $72 depending on the color.
• People are going crazy over it.

Fashion trends from the '90s have been back in a big way the last few years, but some people think ASOS just took the revival a step too far.

Shoppers are baffled by the online retailer's recent decision to sell an all-denim skirt over jean look in four different colors, according to The Daily Mail. This statement piece features a medium-high waistband and straight leg jeans. 

The light wash version of the Arrive Denim Skirt over Jean with Fray Detail version costs $72.

Shoppers are baffled over this piece.

The skirt over jean look is available in three other denim washes.

The Liquor N Poker Denim Skirt over Jeans with Pearl Detail costs $67.

There's also the One Above Another Shredded Jeans With Skirt Layer, which costs $60.

But the plain medium wash Liquor N Poker Denim Skirt Over Jeans seem to be the most innocuous. 

So far, none of these products have been reviewed on ASOS's website. It's unclear if anyone has bought any iteration of this combination item.

While this throwback look is certainly pretty extra, we can't say that it's the most cringe-worthy denim trend we've seen this year. Over the past few months we've been confused about retailers selling dirty jeans, garter jeans, clear plastic jeans, and jeans that zip from front to back.

We can't really get behind this style, but things could be worse: it could be low-waisted jeans.

NOW WATCH: This store makes the funkiest shoes

• Ivanka Trump claims that she had a "punk phase" in the '90s.
• The First Daughter says she listened to Nirvana and wore "corduroy jeans and flannel shirts," both of which are stereotypically grunge activities. 
• People are correcting her.
• Twitter users also do not believe she ever rebelled as a teen.
• There does not appear to be any major evidence of her alleged teenage rebellion.

It seems that everyone goes through a period of teenage rebellion — even Ivanka Trump, apparently. In her mom's new memoir, "Raising Trump," Ivanka penned a passage in which she shared that she went through a "punk phase" in the '90s.

"During my punk phase in the nineties, I was really into Nirvana. My wardrobe consisted of ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts," Ivanka wrote. 

However, the internet doesn't quite believe her.

In a different passage that we read on The Cut, Ivanka said that she cried for 24 hours after Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of her favorite "punk" band, committed suicide.

"It wasn’t too long after this that Kurt Cobain, the singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Nirvana, committed suicide. It was a shock and I was distraught," she wrote.

People especially took issue with this, as Nirvana was a grunge band, not a punk band. Some even questioned the authenticity of Ivanka's claims, as it appears that she does not know the difference between grunge and punk.

Ivanka also says that she dyed her hair blue during this time in her life, which her mom was not thrilled about.

"One day after school, I dyed my hair blue. Mom wasn't a fan of this decision. She took one look at me and immediately went out to the nearest drugstore to buy a $10 box of Nice 'N Easy. That night, she forced me to dye my hair back to blond," she wrote.

Unfortunately, there is no photographic evidence of this botched dye job — or Ivanka's teenage rebellion in general. However, people on Twitter tried to imagine what it might have looked like.

There is, however, one photo of Ivanka from Marc Bouwer’s 1997 New York Fashion Week runway show that gives us a glimpse of what her angsty phase might have been like.

That said, the jury is still out as to whether or not Ivanka can name more than one Nirvana song.

• INSIDER interviewed Sarah Michelle Gellar following an event with Capital One.
• When we asked if there would ever be a Buffy reunion, Gellar said, "I don't know if that would work." 
• Why? "Buffy is about the horrors of adolescence," and she doesn't think that would translate well more than a decade later. 

Sarah Michelle Gellar might have just put a stake through the heart of any hopes for a televised "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reunion.

Gellar, who starred as kickass vampire hunter on the cult TV series, expressed doubts that Buffy's return to TV would ever work.

"I honestly don't know about that," Gellar told INSIDER when we asked her about the chances of a "Buffy" reunion show or reprisal while she was promoting Capital One's new Savor Rewards credit card in New York City.

"The story of Buffy at her core was about the horrors of adolescence mixing with these horrors of the supernatural, and I'm not sure if that would translate to adulthood very well," she continued. "That wasn't her journey and I don't know if that would work."

Of course, fans did recently get a "Buffy" reunion in the form of a magazine spread on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly" magazine earlier this year, around the time of the show's 20th anniversary. The nostalgic photoshoot featured almost all of the original cast (except Anthony Stewart Head, who played fan-favorite Giles). 

And as for the rest of the cast's take on an onscreen reunion? In the March 2017 EW interview, they were divided. Alyson Hannigan, who played witch Willow, said they should try for a Buffy cartoon. Meanwhile, Charisma Carpenter, who played popular girl Cordelia, seemed to think a reunion would drive fans crazy.

It would be up to "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon to convince everyone to round up the "Scooby gang" for a nostalgic revival!
