Someone else asked about the 80s, and I liked the idea. I was born in 1995, so I can't say I remember much of anything from that decade. Tell me stories, y'all!
People dressed odd and if you didn't dress like that you were considered a dork Comics got edgier and more violent, sold like hot cakes till the bubble burst Was so bad Marvel went Bankrupt. MTV would start it's slow slide away from being about music Black Friday and Tickle Me Elmo sent people to the hospital for injuries.
i always felt that Liquid Television was something i wasn't suppose to watch. rock music changed dramatically from big hair metal of partying, drugs, women, and make up to 'this world fucking sucks.' starting with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. wrestling changed from the basic good guy vs. bad guy to I'LL KICK EVERYONE'S ASS WHILE I DRINK BEER, JABRONI!!! The birth of the Power Rangers to a near ending with PR Turbo and then salvation with PR in Space with the rangers' mentor Zordon, sacrificing himself to save the universe from evil. that ended the Zordon era and began with ' new year, new evil, new rangers'. the 90s was a great and bad time for Video Games. genesis, Super Nintendo, playstation, nintendo64, Gameboy/color, PC were fantastic. sadly there were some that didn't last long like the unfortunate Sega Saturn, Sega Gamegear, Sega CD, Sega 32X, TurboGrafx-16, and Nintendo Virtual boy. and duds like Apple Pippen (wondered why Apple doesn't make a home consoles? Pippen is the reason), 3DO, Philips CD-I, Atari Jaguar, game.com (pernounced GAME COM). neo geo had great games but the system and game cartridges were VERY expensive. Mortal Kombat and Night Trap are two of the video games responsible for the creation of the ESRB rating system. BEAST WARS!!!
I went to High School until '94, then to University. Met a girl, she gave me a G1 Jetfire MIB for my 20th birthday in '96, I married her in 98, got my first career job, had a daughter in '99... It was a busy decade for me.
I think it might be safe to say that the 90's were probably the pinnacle of gaming. I don't mean in world wide acceptance, I couldn't care less about that. Games were games you actually played not movies you pressed buttons to. Arcades were still there enough to still be a social event. The wonder of MMOs was born. bear in mind, at the time we didn't know it would all dissolve into the stagnant pool it's became of WoW and failing WoW clones as fast as it did, but at the time the future was wide open and amazing. The SNES was king in the early 90's. Doom 1 hit in 93 and turned the world on it's head for a time. So many landmarks in the gaming world to have seen back then.
Can't say I remember so well. I was born in the mid-nineties so I was barely old enough to remember a lot of the nineties crap other people did. My brother still showed me tons of games, cartoons, and movies from the nineties, so I got my fill from that. Still, I really think I connected better with the 2000s.
Wow, thanks! Looks like it was an exciting time! I started retaining more concrete memories around the early 2000s, so from that point forward I remember quite a bit. My, how times change
The 90's was a magical time, I and my siblings where born, Power Rangers was cool, LEGO was almost been bankrupted before Star Wars comes to the recuse, The Disney Rebirthed, Transformers when from Blinding Colors to Munkies, Cartoon Network was only shown cartoons for 24/7, Sonic the Hedgehog and POKeMON where the rage, The U.S.S.R. fell, Godzilla and Gamera was in the Heisei Era,& Don't forget all those Adult Cartoons.
Early 90's were my high school years. I lived near Seattle so when the Grunge revolution came it was insane. Not much to tell for me. It wasn't the best decade for me because I experienced a lot of crap. Movies were ok, music for a time was good, tv was meh.
Beavis and butthead on mtv, people wore cool neon colored clothes or silver and gold, in 1991 techno began to emerge into pop music with it's height in the mid 90s, having radio stations play happy hardcore, Rave and dancefloor everywhere. Laramie Super soakers became a thing, x-files was big, boobs and naked girls in every media and on TV all day and even in commercials, kriss Kross wore their clothes backwards, everyone and their neighbor got abducted by aliens. A great time and the 90s were known as the decade of dance. Wwe was still known as wwf. Hercules the legendary journeys, xena the warrior princess and earth-2 was on TV. 90s were the last time you could watch TV all day without getting sick. Commercial breaks on TV were allowed to interrupt the program/movie more than once Kurt cobain became popular and probably shot himself, Aerosmith and guns'n'roses were big. It also saw the rise of manufactured boy bands and girl bands. Michael Jackson became a megastar and was the one image corporations started to mold their poster boys and girls after. Later lawyers saw their chance to demolish his fame by falsely accusing him of child rape. Prodigy became big. American gladiators were on reruns. At the end of the decade, Internet still was not wide spread. I remember being online for the first time in 1998.
