Most of the 90s for me was computers and games. I remember Windows 95, Sega Mega Drive (Or Genesis) and the original Playstation and that is about it.
Oh, and those hideous purple and green shellsuits that were all the rage here in the UK (From what I can find places outside the UK were spared the torment of those though :D)
Most of the music and television I remember from that period though was 80s and 70s stuff.
Looking back at what I remember my guess for why there are so few comics set in the 90s would be that people prefer to forget about that whole era.
EDIT: Huh, just did some research and found out Animaniacs was 90s. I always though that was 80s for some reason. Guess you can add that to the positive things about the 90s!
Ya know, during the 90's I was in that 1% of the kid population that didn't like Pokemon. Looking back I feel wicked cool - Dragon Ball motherfuckers!
I know Dragon Ball was late 80's but it didn't air in Canada till later.
All my cousins were much older than me ( ie: 30+ with kids of their own now, while I'm 20, halfway through college. ). So I grew up with Nirvana and Pearl Jam, watching the high school kids ( They seemed huge to me at the time. ) going to school in old hoodies, jeans torn at the knees, black backpacks always carried on one shoulder. My dad showed me and my sister PeeWee's playhouse in it's later days along with Wild and Crazy Kids and the other Nickolodeon stuff. I still remember when Nickolodeon had that old Orange Splat as their logo all over tv, and how screaming into a microphone HAD to involve a mohawk and/or flannel to be cool. I remember playing Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 at my local church's youth room and how skateboarding was the coolest thing since Iggy Pop came out of Ann Arbor.
I basically grew up with a bunch of punks and cartoon nerds now i think of it.
yup i remember the 90's in fact i'm technically a 90's person but since all my other siblings were at least 10 years older than me, i grew around those things nostalgic to them (nostalgic as of now, just old those times) i practically am an 80's guy heck i even feel nostalgic for some of the 70's culture, i feel lost in time.
I miss cargo pants. I liked the extra pockets. Not like now with these tight jeans where you can't put anything in your pockets and sit comfortably!Hell, I still wear cargoes all the time, but mostly for the utility of the added pockets. I carry aLOT of stuff at any given time. They're also baggy, but that's mostly for function too…that and tight pants are NOT flattering on me.
But in the 1990s people with beepers and then the first clunky cell phones actually were important enough to need them as opposed to every twit with an opposable thumb.The U.S. was a bit slower with mobile phones than Australia in many ways. I think the whole thing with all the hundreds of different phone companies being extremely feudal with the networks was the problem. There are instances where competition can actually hinder progress. -_-
I still remember when Nickelodeon had that old Orange Splat as their logo all over tvI remember that :(
I got the perfect list for you from facebook.
Scroll down to recent news to see a full list.
Maybe you've seen this on the internets…
This pic is often accompanied by the phrase, "This pic sums up the 90's pretty nicely."
I agree completely!
Also, I just want to mention that being born in the 90's just means that the first few years of your life, where you don't remember anything, are spent there. If anything, you should consider the time in which you reach adult hood to be "your time." For me, that's when everything changes, including my thought style and attitudes. All other ages were ephemeral, adulthood seems pretty stable and long lasting.
That'll do fine, we should combine ours together and create a rusty SpifeOr a knoon?
They made better CD players back in the 90s -_-
