How BFF Relationships Have Changed From the ’90s to Today
Best friends are like the siblings we either never had or didn’t get along with. While siblings might have annoyed us by stealing our toys or embarrassing us, our BFFs were the ones we made prank calls with and cried to when our crush held hands with someone else. Whether in the ’90s or today, our best friends have shaped who we are.
In the ’90s, fights with your BFF were dramatic—like when she let your digital pet die while you were on vacation. Today, adult fights are more subtle, with passive-aggressive Facebook comments and ignored Instagram likes. Making up in the ’90s meant passing heartfelt notes in class, while today, it’s all about overpriced Starbucks drinks and selfies.
