If you’re longing for a dose of 90s nostalgia, look no further than the time capsule created by a woman during her teenage years. Recently, Clara Johnson stumbled upon her three-part capsule while decluttering her closet and decided to share her delightful discoveries with everyone.
“I honestly had forgotten I put it together, which is surprising since it took an entire year,” said Johnson, who resides in Vancouver, Canada. She explained to a popular parenting site, “My mom forced me to clean my closet, which was a total mess when I moved out of my parents’ house.” The year was 1998, a time when artists like Britney Spears and ‘NSYNC ruled the charts, while shows like Dawson’s Creek and Buffy The Vampire Slayer captured the hearts of many.
To document her nostalgic finds, Johnson set up an Instagram account dedicated to unveiling each item from her time capsule. “I was almost in tears; it was so funny to see how innocent and silly I was back then,” she shared with a lifestyle blog. “One box was filled with every newspaper clipping about the Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, Titanic, and any significant world events I thought were noteworthy.”
Reflecting on her diary entries from that time, Johnson noted, “I always maintained a positive outlook, even when things didn’t go my way—like not getting a date to junior high prom.” She added that she possessed a naive confidence, believing she would someday need to find this time capsule.
Who could forget the iconic friendship bracelets or the treasured cassette tapes? Johnson’s collection included classic hits like Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” Beastie Boys’ “Intergalactic,” and Pras’s “Ghetto Superstar.” It was a true representation of 90s music culture. In a whimsical touch, she even included some rubber bands from her braces—a childhood accessory that many still fondly recall.
Since sharing her nostalgic journey, Johnson’s story has gone viral. “I think it resonates with so many people because it captures that innocence and enthusiasm of youth,” she said.
