GROWING UP IN THE 90S

[Cara.]

Now I've blown the evening watching Pinky and The Brain clips on YouTube. Thanks Naden.

 

For some reason 90s music didn't appeal to me. All that torrid R&B. I would start giggling every time those giant shirts start flapping on a Jodeci (or was it Boys II Men?) music video.

 

Give me ironic, irreverent rock any day.

[Naden]

^ You're welcome , don't forget those gnarly, looong nails eeeeek. I loved everything about the 90s. Love the 80s too but I was too damn young to remember firsthand.......NOT a word, JB! :mad:

[Cara.]

Honey, we're talking about the 1980's.

[Naden]

^ :mad: I'll have you know, my memories of the 80s are sketchy at best.

 

I was in pigtails while you rocked with Elton John .

, I love children's shows too. My favorite is Sesame Street. So tongue-in-cheek, that show. I'm sure a good number of the jokes are aimed at grown ups. When my older cousins would rather watch wrestling, I always side with the preschoolers

Cara,they sure beat this reality shows,or grown up dramas...I love the sense of humour in these kids program.

 

Johy Bravo,what a mama's boy! typical!!

^Oooh don't get me started on reality shows.

TIMES:

It really was the end of an era and the 90's kinda started and ended outside the 90s.

This new ear this change that took place started between 11/9/1989 and 9/11/2001. November 9th was the fall of the Berlin wall. When the Berlin wall fell communism started to fall in huge communist powers like the former USSR. The first Gulf war happened in 1991. Thus there was this feeling of impending doom on the youth ( The Gen Xers) and this mish mash of political unrest and a huige recession. Gen Xers needed a darker music that was more serious, instead of the hair metal from the decade beofre. Enter Nirvana and the Seattle Grundge Scene. It was just the right amount of hopelessness and desperation that captured the essence of the early 90s.
