They were signed to Rough Trade Record Company (home of many notable acts such as The Strokes and The Long Blondes) when they were spotted at only their sixth gig (a first for Rough Trade) and have released two albums so far Cookies and Kicks. Lead singer Jack(ne John) McKeown and bassist Jamie McMorrow were the founding members of Scottish Indie band The Yummy Fur. The line-up over the years that The Yummy Fur existed changed on numerous occasions. At one point both Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos and drummer Paul Thomson were members of the group. 1990s drummer Michael McGaughrin was also in Glasgow band V-Twin before 1990s were formed. 1990s "You Made Me Like It" (2006) Sample of 1990s "You Made Me Like It".

In recent months 1990s have supported Babyshambles at the Glasgow Barrowlands and Franz Ferdinand at the SECC and Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre as well as releasing their debut single "You Made Me Like It/Arcade Precinct" on limited edition vinyl. They have played at the Indian Summer festival at Victoria Park in Glasgow on 2 September 2006 alongside bands such as Yeah Yeah Yeahs The Fall and Antony and the Johnsons and also Bestival on the Isle of Wight. 1990s went on tour in October 2006 with The Long Blondes and with CSS in November. According to the band they play music "like a blonde gets out of a car".

On the official website it was revealed Jamie McMorrow has left the band on 5 September 2007. He was replaced by Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub on the 2007 European tour. Dino Bardot of Stinky Munchkins (also formerly of V-Twin alongside Michael McGaughrin) played the bass on the Australian and North American shows in late 2007 and was confirmed as a new member of the band on their MySpace page early in 2008.

The band's second album Kicks was produced by Bernard Butler and was released on 23 March 2009. This twelve-track sophomore effort included the glam-stomp of 'The Box' 'Everybody Please Relax' and the single '59' (the video of which was shot on the number 59 bus around Glasgow).1 It boasted a beefier harmony-driven sound whilst maintaining the band's trademark style and wit. Kicks also featured a guest turn from former The Long Blondes singer Kate Jackson who lent backing vocals to the track "Kickstrasse." NME wrote that "like Supergrass and British Sea Power before them 1990s refusal to be difficult and consistent greatness makes them a hard concept to market. But a fantastic one to listen to."2 The song "You Made Me Like It" can be heard in the pilot for Community .
