    Default The '90s

    What was the highlight(s) of the '90s? (Music, Movies, Comics etc.) ... Or were the '90s just crappy...?

    I remember that Alternative music used to be cool towards the middle of the decade. I remember just listening at the Alternative station for hours and just enjoying the music, back in 96, I believe. And the Internet came into fruitation. The rest of the decade was kinda blah.

    The birth of the true blockbusters. Independence Day, Terminator 2, Mission: Impossible, Jurassic Park, Twister, Titanic, Armageddon. . .

    Yeah, they might not all be the greatest movies, but it's a true testament to the age of technology and entertainment we grow up in.

    I'll try to list some things that haven't already been stated, but Strider's so right about the blockbusters.

    The Spider-Man cartoon on Fox, Squaresoft's big games (namely Xenogears), Ren and Stimpy, Resident Evil, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Beavis and Butthead, PSM, grunge/alternative music (Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc), gangster rap, the new Supra, Sony PlayStation... I've run out of things off of the top of my head.

    I would say:
    Oomph!
    Stahlhammer
    Megaherz
    Rammstein
    In Extremo
    Subway to Sally
    Weissglut
    Schweisser
    Tanzwut
    Letzte Instanz

    In other words, German Metal.

    I just came back from Disneyworld, and I stayed at their PopCentury Resort. The 90s section featured the following:

    Cellphones
    Phat
    Wazzup? (I thought that was 00-01?)
    The Internet
    Video Games (they were there in the 80s, but they came into omnipotency during the 90s)
    ...I don't remember anything else. I stayed in the 50s section.

    ALTERNATIVE MUSIC! Especially Mellencholy and the Infinite Sadness (best album ever, well next to ALL the U2 albums anyway).
