This Valentine’s day, we are throwing it back to the 1990s, when our favorite 90s crushes were hot and everyone’s tips were icy!

From girl groups, boy bands and solo artists, our 90s crushes have never faded. However you want to classify it, childhood 90s crushes, teen 90s crushes, it's a throwback that'll make you all googly-eyed once again. Whether you’re shipping yourself with Usher or gushing over Posh Spice, we’re highlighting six of our favorite 90s crushes.

This Valentine's day revisit all your old flames with Audacy's 90s Crush station

Just like Tiger Beat magazine might say, check out all of our 90s crushes now!

6 Spice Girls

We'll tell you what we want, what we really, really want. Literally any one of the Spice Girls to look our way. Whether you were (and probably still are) crushing on Scary, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, Posh or all, every one the Spice Girls made us wanna zigazig ah.

5 Kurt Cobain

Ummm, who doesn't love a beachy blonde, grungy, guitar playing, bad boy? That was rhetorical of course. And in the 90s, nobody did that better than Kurt Cobain, actually he might have invented it. Mmmmm, you smell that? Smells like... a crush.

4 TLC

Lol, as if we could have picked just one of the TLC members to crush on back in the day. Don't be silly, or a scrub. Back in the 90s T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili really were some of the coolest chicks, with the swaggiest style and we, along with everyone else were definitely crushin' hard.

Britney Spears

3 Britney Spears

Oh, baby baby! In 90s and a majority of the 00s Britney Spears was IT! If you weren't obsessed with being like her, you were obsessed with being with her, or maybe even both. Decades later Brit Brit has maintained her inner and outer beauty! These day the newly freed Spears has a special kinda glow about her that we just can't get over!

Usher

2 Usher

Back in the day, everything about Usher made us swoon — his voice, his songs, his abs. But we have a confession, while we’re obvi crushin' hard in the 90s, we kinda still are now.

NSYNC

1 NSYNC

Does this one even need explaining? With their harmonizing voices and dance moves for days NSYNC really had a choke hold on us from the start until they devastatingly broke up. Even now, at least 3 out of 5 could probably still get it. But NGL, nothing will ever beat our teeny bopper selves truly believing they were singing "Girlfriend" and "This I Promise You" directly to us.
