Whatever: The '90s Pop & Culture Box is a seven-disc, 130-track box set of popular music hits of the 1990s. Released by 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 70's and 80's 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, pop, rap, alternative — are represented. The collection was packaged with coffee beans and was included in Pitchfork Media's 2010 list of "five absurd CD packages".^[1]
