'''''Whatever: The '90s Pop & Culture Box''''' is a seven-disc, 130-track box set of [[popular music]] hits of the 1990s. Released by [[Rhino Entertainment|Rhino Records]] in 2005, the box set was based on the success of ''[[Have a Nice Decade: The 70s Pop Culture Box]]'', and ''[[Like Omigod! The 80s Pop Culture Box (Totally)]]'', Rhino's box sets covering the 1970s and 1980s respectively.
''Whatever'' includes an 86-page booklet of cultural comment, a timeline for the decade, and liner notes for the tracks included in the set. Many of the 1990s musical styles — [[rock music|rock]], [[pop music|pop]], [[rap music|rap]], [[alternative music|alternative]]— are represented. The collection was packaged with coffee beans and was included in [[Pitchfork Media]]'s 2010 list of "five absurd CD packages".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/7856-a-feature-about-nothing-the-1990s-in-lists/?page=5 |title=Archived copy |website=pitchfork.com |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170827090009/https://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/7856-a-feature-about-nothing-the-1990s-in-lists/?page=5 |archive-date=27 August 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
