The 90s

I dunno, lots of "cool" things like house music and indie and IT and hip hop went from "quite big" to "the actual mainstream now".

House and indie were more mainstream in the early 90s than the late 90s.

Girls in cargo pants + baby tees = worst EVER. I wore them all the time, of course.

"In Washington State, elementary school teacher Mary Kay LeTourneau pleaded guilty to having sex with a sixth-grade student.... LeTourneau has been branded a sex offender, or as the kids refer to her, 'the greatest teacher of all time!'"

guys this thread has made my night

I remember thinking back in the 90s that the clothes were a big improvement over the 80s. They seemed so basic and straightforward, timeless even. I thought that they would never look ugly or out-of-style.

Oh, how wrong I was...

Poor taste from Calvin Klein.

Still haven't seen much difference here from the oughts. Dawson's = OC,etc. X-Files = Lost (or whatever.) Funny clothes = Funny clothes. Hyped NYC rappers = Hyped Southern Rappers. Bush = Nickleback. Kids = Havoc. '00s is just the '90s continued.

^^no collar

You could do that for every decade, mulla. That individual shows/trends fit into archetypes doesn't make them any less 'of their time.'

Havoc went straight to DVD and the only people who saw it were fans of Harlan County USA or wanted to see Anne Hathaway's boobs. In no way the same thing as Kids.

The Most 90s Thing That Could Ever Exist

The zeitgeist summed perfectly in one technological artifact, which is a VHS promoting Windows 95 starring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry.

this feel like a definitive moment in 'Cool Britannia' awfulness, exemplary in the way it manages to take things that had been vibrant and charming in previous decades (The Avengers, Suggs) and transmute them into objectionable garbage

The 90s are significantly long ago now to look very strange indeed. Any LOL WTF 00s images, or is it too soon?

oh no sorry didn't realise it was Max R that started the thread not the real max

The ’90s Are Old is a Longreads series by Rebecca Schuman, wherein she unpacks the cultural legacy of a decade that refuses to age gracefully.

this premise has promise

This looks rad:

"Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" came on the jukebox last night. Don't think I'd heard it in maybe 15 years. Just here to say: holds up!

Weird! Had the exact same thought the other day.

That seems like a pretty dangerous thing to unleash at the start of a work day.

Today I have learned, by very random chance, about this artifact of the forgotten 90s:

Consider the episode titles. Consider these clips.

And HOLY fuck consider an actual *1990s fan page* for the show that's STILL UP. The URL alone!
