Let's party like it's 1998. Warning: This post might make you feel old (or young).
Google was founded.

"Armageddon" was released, and you will forever associate the "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" song with this movie.
This was hands down one of the best movies of the '90s. Besides the amazing soundtrack (OK, one song), the movie featured astronauts, explosions, Bruce Willis, and Ben Affleck. Armageddon has also inspired various Foursquare check-ins and Twitter hashtags.
