The band had their next chart entry in 1994 when, as ''the BC-52's'', they appeared in ''[[The Flintstones (film)|The Flintstones]]'' live-action movie and sang the title song. When released as a single, it reached No.&nbsp;33 in the U.S. and No.&nbsp;3 in the UK. In 1994, Pierson and Schneider also sang on the theme song for the [[Nickelodeon]] series ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'', from the second season onward. In the 1990s, former [[Duran Duran]] drummer [[Sterling Campbell]] joined the band, but left in 2000 to tour with [[David Bowie]] and was replaced that year by [[Zack Alford]], who had recorded and toured with the band during the ''Cosmic Thing'' era. Pierson and Cindy Wilson recorded a cover of the [[McFadden & Whitehead]] song "[[Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now]]" for the 1996 film ''[[The Associate (1996 film)|The Associate]]'', starring Whoopi Goldberg; Wilson rejoined the B-52s the same year.

A career retrospective, ''[[Time Capsule: Songs for a Future Generation]]'', appeared in 1998, along with two remixed maxi-singles: "Summer of Love '98" and "Hallucinating Pluto". A major tour (with co-headliners [[the Pretenders]]) to promote the collection took place. "[[Debbie (song)|Debbie]]", another single from the album (a tribute to [[Blondie (band)|Blondie's]] [[Debbie Harry]]), placed No. 35 on ''Billboard''<nowiki/>'s Hot Modern Rock Tracks.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/1998-06-27/alternative-songs |title=Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks Chart Listing For The Week Of June 27, 1998 |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=January 2, 2013 |access-date=August 12, 2016}}</ref> In 1999, they recorded a parody of "Love Shack" called "Glove Slap" for an [[E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)|episode]] of ''[[The Simpsons]]''.

In 2002, a more extensive anthology, ''[[Nude on the Moon: The B-52's Anthology]]'', was released, and in February of that year the band held a series of concerts celebrating their 25th anniversary. The [[Irving Plaza]] show in [[New York City]] featured Yoko Ono, as well as [[Tina Weymouth]] and [[Chris Frantz]] of [[Talking Heads]], as guests, with [[Chicks on Speed]] as the opener.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.apeculture.com/music/b52s.htm|title= The B-52s 25th Anniversary Concert with Chicks on Speed|last=Wiskirchen|first=Julie|publisher=Ape Culture|access-date=April 18, 2014}}</ref> Coinciding with the band's 25th anniversary was the publication of ''The B-52's Universe: The Essential Guide to the World's Greatest Party Band'', the first and only officially authorized biography of the band. The book was nominated for a Lambda Lit Award and was a Minnesota Book Awards finalist.{{citation needed |date=July 2023}} The B-52s recorded the song "Orange You Glad it's Summer" for a [[Target Corporation|Target]] commercial that aired in spring/summer 2002. Target also used the ''Cosmic Thing'' song "Junebug" in a TV spot five years later. In late 2002, the critically panned cartoon pilot "[[The Groovenians]]" featured a theme song performed by the band.

In late 2004, the band opened for [[Cher]] on a few dates of her [[Living Proof: The Farewell Tour|Farewell Tour]]. In March 2006, they opened for [[the Rolling Stones]] at a benefit for the [[Robin Hood Foundation]]. They had three remix EPs released by Planet Clique: ''Whammy!'' in 2005, ''Mesopotamia'' in 2006, and ''Wild Planet'' in 2007. During this time span, they appeared on many television shows, including ''[[The L Word]]'', ''[[V.I.P. (American TV series)|V.I.P.]]'', ''[[The Rosie O'Donnell Show]]'', ''[[The Tonight Show with Jay Leno]]'', the ''[[Late Show with David Letterman]]'', ''[[The Arsenio Hall Show]]'', ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', ''[[Live! with Kelly and Michael|Live with Regis and Kelly]]'', ''[[Today (U.S. TV program)|The Today Show]]'', ''[[Good Morning America]]'', as well as numerous times on [[VH1]].
