I’m not sure about the most 90s word, but the most 90s letter was definitely X. Everything was MaXXX  X!

It’d have to be ‘extreme’. That word was so overused back then.

True story, when the Nordiques moved to Denver and they were figuring out what to change their name to, one of the choices was ‘Roc ky Mountain Extreme’. That would have been the worst sports team name ever IMHO.

Counter point, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon ran from December 1987 to September 1996 with the live action movies in 1990, 1991, and 1993 and was the primary driver of the popularity of Cowabunga and repopularized antiquated surfer terms like totally tubular and radical .

Whatever was popularized by the 1995 film Clueless. A better 90's term popularized in the same movie might be: “as-if”.

Everything 80's very much bled into the early 90's, but I agree with you. Those are 80's.

I’ll toss in another vote for extreme. Worse if it’s intentionally misspelled without the leading e. Chevy even made that a package on the S-10 truck and Blazer.

Extreme, may be 90-91 before being worn out.

Grunge. That's probably it.
