Any fans of the 90's? I'm definitely one

i loved the 90's, probly cause i was mostly a teenager in them and it's the most innocent time of your life. I had alot of fun, the early-mid 90's had alot of good music (the grunge years) and i think people my age (kids in the 80's teens in the 90's) were kinda the last generation that was able to kinda run wild without overprotective parents guarding their every move. It seemed so peaceful i never was aware of politics at all untill everything changed in the 2000's. it was an innocent time, and i enjoyed every minute of it.

 

I am born in 1983. So the 90s were the time of my passage from my childhood years to my teenage years. I have pleasant memories related to the 90s.
I started primary school in 1990. The first first graders generation after 1989 (the fall of Communism in Romania).

 

No, GOD NO.


As my drinking progresses, I am slowly but surely forgetting my childhood and I say good riddens.

All I remember was crappy childrens cartoons, the Pokemon and Digimon fad and the Spice girls, everybody liked Ginger spice, nobody liked scary spice, nobody wanted to touch her boobies, NOBODY!!!

........what the hell were we talking about now?

 

You're obviously focussing on the negative aspects of the 90's.

 

Okay, I'll admit I was a fan of Transformers: Beast Wars, I use to collect all those series transformer toys, still actually do today, although not to the extent of some other losers but I mean there's a site where you can get the old toys and by the time I was 15 I pretty much had all the good guys but had hardly any of the Predacons lol.

Good times.

 

I like lots of music from the 90's. Really great decade for that, good parties and atmosphere as well. I'm glad I didn't have to spend my teenage years ten years earlier

 

It was a peaceful time to be a kid, no 9/11, no real war to worry about. A much more laid back decade from what I remember, people weren't as cynical as today.

 

The 90's were awesome. I kind of split them in half: Nirvana/Radiohead.

Of course, there was a lot of fucking awful music in there, too. Good times for a few years, though.

 

Musicwise I split them in more then those pieces. Come on, nirvana/radiohead?? Lots of new great things were coming up. Grunge, black metal, psytrance, stoner rock, it was as diverse as I can imagine. And I even look back with joy on the mainstream radio with all the alternative rock stuff. Didn't really dig it but afterwarths I have to say, great vibes all around. Awesome decade! :cheers2:

 

I can't think of any great things that had their start in the 90s that were better than Nirvana and Radiohead. Nirvana were grunge! Black metal started in the 90's?! I don't know. I stopped paying attention when I became punk rock about halfway through.

 

Yes, well it may have it's first start in the 80's but it really started to develop as a genre in the 90's. Nirvana is the icon of grunge and kind of the 90's rock to many as well so I guess I understand your choice, there just is too many great stuff in between them and Radiohead. But I'm not a fan of both so that caused my reaction at first I'm afraid.
I'm not at all into the alternative rock that was so much around in the 90's but it had good vibes and I enjoyed the alternative atmosphere very much. Especially at festivals and stuff where they performed along acts from d 'n bass to trance and the other upcoming new electronic genres like the Prodigy and Underworld etc. etc. So many different things to indulge in
I myself love the folk/black metal and the heavy psychedelic rock bands (generally referred to as stoner rock) that came up in this decade the most. But also still diggin the dub, psy ambient and psytrance stuff of these years and later on. I mean the decade we're now in is awesome as well :cheers2:

 

Yes, I enjoyed the atmosphere as well. The world seemed wide open. I was still pretty young, a teenager, though. And in Iowa you don't get out to experience a lot outside of MTV. And then after around '95...they canceled MTV and put on Animal Planet.

I'm not too familiar with a lot of metal or stoner rock bands, but I'm always trying new things. Slowly trying to learn to appreciate metal.

 

I was 7 to 17 in the nineties

those were the best years anyone coulld ever experience..
foster homes, behavioral schools, and reclusiveness all were good experiences I had in the nineties

 

My childhood was in the 90s I miss those days jelly shoes, the light up shoes, cartoons like Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Doug and many more

 

I graduated from High School, 6 years in the Air Force; Started College, 8 years of Bill Clinton and a booming economy; OMNI Magazine, worked several great part time jobs including at a psychiatric hospital, The movie Contact, Windows 95, Roswell ‘97’, :cheers2:


It doesn't get any better


Hotwater

 

I don't preperly remember it all (born in 94) so didn't know about anything other than cartoons for most of it, but looking back now, it does seem better, but that might just be the grass is greener kind of thing.

 

i love the 90's its when i was in most of my childhood years. some of the best music, toys, games, tv shows were in the 90's

 

I love grunge The 90s also had good cartoons like rugrats, hey arnold, tom and jerry, roadrunner. I only had a few childhood years in that decade and i dont remember much of it. I rememer watchinf cartoon and eating bacon and eggs in the morning and i spent almost every day at my grandmas house.

 

Awww, it is so wild to remember that today's kids were born in the 90's. What great great times, what a fantastic time to be a child! Awesome music, awesome cartoons, awesome toys...I'd relive the non-crazy parts of my childhood over and over. I could do without the years I was crazy. Haha.

 

Just watched Empire Records today (I had to, it was on!), and I think I was smiling the whole movie.

You know that movie has 51 (great) songs?
I counted.
