One man’s pedentry is another man’s pet peeve. This is a syntactic error that isn’t just a typo but a misunderstanding of the mechanics of apostrophes.

Really. Apostrophes are used for possession & contractions (not making words plural). In this case, you are omitting the 19 from the decade starting at 1990. What is plural is the years inside that decade, meaning the 10s place. All to say, it is 100% ’90s*.

You got it right the second time though, champ!

I always loved the lighting these places give off at a certain point in the night. It is both inviting & spooky.
How about Git’s CLI stop being so shit? All of the options are obtuse & usually 3 ways to do the same thing.
Developers should normalize non-Git DVCSs.
I keep a box of “You Tried!” stickers in my nightstand for this very reason
It’s all too* expensive
Apostrophes are for possession & contractions; plurality isn’t on the list. Soz, m8.

Think of the phrase: about music. “90’s music” would imply music from specifically 90 (probably 1990 where we assume the writer was lazy about the initial apostrophe)—possessive form. “’90s music” uses ’90s as an adjective for the entire decade—and with the preceeding apostrophe makes it clearer 19 is omitted. 1 year versus 10 years as a big difference. Using an apostrophe in the right place clearly removes the ambiguity.
It was an error. It happens, and too many people do it so next time maybe you won’t with a good habit being formed.
