    Then you write The 90s’ like you would with other words ending in S. “The 90’s” would be like writing “The new’s”

    It’s referring to the years between 1990 and 1999 so the 90s is already plural.

      Unless you’re referring specifically to something belonging to the year 1990? Can’t think of any sentence where that would occur.

        Yeah I was trying to think of one earlier, too, but I don’t think English is “set up” that way. We say things are FROM or OF the year, I can’t recall hearing that anything belongs TO a year.
