The 90's

[Paro]

Did anyone like the 90's? I didn't.

George Bush Sr. was the president. The Persian Gulf War was on. A recession was in the horizon. Everything had that commercialized logo look-They had Stussy, Mossimo, Nike, Vans, Cross Colours, Movies and Music: Terminator 2, Boyz in the Hood, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Guns N Roses, Janet Jackson, Paula Abdul, Hammer, Stone Temple Pilots, Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, Cypress Hill, NWA, Public Enemy.

Then Bill Clinton comes along, and everything becomes all slick and boring. I just remember '94. There was nothing to watch on tv except a video by TLC, Live, Offspring, Bush, or Silverchair. No wonder Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Fashion became lame with v-cut t-shirts, bell bottoms, Nike moon shoes, baby girl shirts, and no logo outfits.

Thank god for the internet. I guess the only thing to do in the 90's was chat on Icq and search the web.

But I have to admit-the 90's popularized Asian culture with movies like Bruce Lee's "The Dragon", Russell Wong's "Vanishing Son", and Hong Kong cinema.

Oh yeah, remember raves? What were we thinking?

The 90's rocked, it had Final Fantasy IV-VIII

[Bunny]

I am from the future.

You forgot Pokemon, Earth child.

[Twilight Edge]

I am a total kid in the 90's and don't know a damn about anything. All I ever wanted was to construct my legos, and deconstruct them, and reconstruct them and turn them into hard-terrain crossing vehicles or jeeps with dual cannons.

I am from the future.

You forgot Pokemon, Earth child.

you're bringing back the nightmares!

[Shaun]

Could a CK change the title to 'The '90s'? It makes no sense to me as it is. Thank you.

[Flying Mullet]

I loved the 90s. I have very fond memories from that time.

I remember walking home from school with my buddy and reading the latest game reviews on the hotest and most advanced games, like Zelda: A Link to the Past and Castlevania IV.
I remember many winter weekends where I'd go skiing on Saturday and when I'd get home I'd kick back with FFVI and play well until the night.
I remember many spring and summer days riding single-track trails on my mountain bike with my buddies and going downtown to get dinner afterwards.
I remember many awesome meals where my college buddies and I would get a patio table and a couple of pitchers of beer and pass the hours telling stories and listening to the live music play.
I remember being so optimistic for the future when all of this futuristic stuff starting happening, like techno and raves, the internet and faster computers.

Anyways, yeah, I liked the 90s.

[Martyr]

The 90s had awesome music.

[Breine]

Yeah, the 90's were pretty awesome... no doubt about that - I'll bet that in ten years we'll be looking back and remembering how awesome the 00's were. It's funny that you can't really see how great it is when you're living it, but only when you're looking back... Nostalgia is a strange thing.


By the way, I liked Bill Clinton :P (or maybe just the fact that he was a democrat)

[Old Manus]

The 90's had the Millennium

[Anaisa]

My life doesn't centre around popular culture, so how good a decade is for me on the whole isn't solely based around that. But if I were to judge it on that, the 90s was bloody awful. But the 00s are a whole lot worse.

like Bruce Lee's "The Dragon"

I hope you're not talking about that sham of a movie of "his life". That was a joke. An not a funny one. It's not even factual. It's an insult to him.

[Flying Mullet]

No, you're thinking of <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon:_The_Bruce_Lee_Story">Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story</a></i>. Paro's referring to the classics, such as <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enter_the_Dragon">Enter the Dragon</a></i> and <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Way_of_the_Dragon">Way of the Dragon/Return of the Dragon</a></i> (I hope).

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

It remember the 90's for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, my first encounter with Sailor Moon, Disney actually having decent animated movies, actual stuff worth watching Saturday mornings, ability to wake before everyone else (now I sleep in all the time), Spiderman cartoons (the good ones) and other stuff related to my childhood.

Oh and there was a lot better TV programing then. Most stuff now are crappy half-arsed copies of successful shows (like all those Reality TV shows, most of them are spin-offs of Survivor, Big Brother, etc...).

I assumed since they weren't released in the 90s, he was refering to Dragon.

[Yamaneko]

Two words. Jurassic Park. The end.
