90s. Apostrophes in English are ONLY used to replace missing letters, such as in possessive forms.Meta !PARAdoxiHw joined in and replied with this 13 years ago, 5 minutes later, 14 minutes after the original post[^] [v] #441,676

'90s* since the "19__" is ommitted. See the "Years and ages" section of Kimmo's English guide.

Years and ages
It is common to see things such as "the 80's", usually referring to "the 1980s" (depending on the context). It is wrong. Never add an apostrophe like that. If you leave out the first part of the year, however, you add one before:
Wrong: The 60's were wild, maaan!
Right: The '60s were wild, maaan!

Not entirely true. When pluralising single letters/numbers it's OK to use apostrophes. For example: dot your i's.

90s. However 90's music would be right as it is music of the 90s.
