Teens React season 1 episode 30 is entitled "Teens React to High School in 1990s!" In this episode, a group of modern-day teenagers are shown clips and photos of what high school was like in the 1990s. From fashion to technology to popular culture, the teens get a glimpse into what life was like for their parents' generation.

The episode begins with some general background information about the 1990s, including the introduction of dial-up internet and the popularity of grunge music. The first clip shown to the teens is a scene from the TV show "Saved By the Bell," which originally aired from 1989-1993. The teens are amused by the outdated hairstyles and clothing, but some also comment on how they wish their school had a "maxed out" locker like the ones shown in the clip.

Next, the teens watch a clip from the movie "Clueless," which was released in 1995. They comment on the bold fashion choices and the prevalence of flip phones. They also note the lack of diversity in the film's cast, which prompts a discussion about how representation in media has improved over the years.

The third clip shown is a segment from a 1995 news report about the rise of gang activity in schools. The teens are taken aback by the seriousness of the issue, with some expressing surprise that gangs were even a thing in the 90s. They also discuss how attitudes towards gangs and school safety have changed in the years since.

The fourth clip is a news report about the introduction of pagers in high schools. The teens find the concept of needing a pager to stay in touch with friends to be bizarre, with some even joking that they would never be caught dead using one. However, they also note that having a pager could be useful in emergency situations.

The fifth clip shown is from a 1999 episode of MTV's "The Real World." The teens are fascinated by the outdated technology, including boxy computer monitors and bulky cell phones. They also comment on the lack of privacy in the Real World house, with one teen noting that "the whole concept of reality TV is just different nowadays."

Finally, the episode ends with a discussion about how high school has changed since the 1990s. The teens note that technology has had a huge impact on their school experience, with some expressing relief that they don't have to use encyclopedias for research like their parents did. They also discuss how issues like school shootings and hate speech have become more prevalent in recent years.

Overall, "Teens React to High School in 1990s!" is an entertaining and informative episode that provides a unique perspective on what life was like for teenagers in the pre-internet era. The teens' reactions to the outdated fashion, technology and attitudes towards school safety are both amusing and eye-opening, and the episode serves as a reminder of how much has changed (and stayed the same) in the world of high school.
