2013 Cicadas' Parents Had An Eventful Year In 1996 (PHOTOS)

When The Cicadas Were Last Here In 1996...

Yes, yes, the Brood II cicadas are emerging. They'll be loud, they'll be tasty and they'll be having a buzz-filled mating party for four to six weeks.

But are they going to be prepared for a changed world since their parents were above-ground 17 years ago? The Macarena was hip in 1996. Pokémon was still a thing. Seinfeld was still on.

In any case, HuffPost Green wanted to host a little bit of a throwback for the cicadas to let them know that we too still remember Tickle Me Elmo and the Spice Girls.

Brood II, this one's for you.
