What're some of the things you think we'll look back on & say- Man! That's so 90s!"?


Sidenote- If you think about it, it usually takes a new decade maybe 3 years before it gets an identity & "feel" of its own, but with 9/11, we kinda jumped head-first into the 2000s...

Designer drugs such as ecstasy:

Which can be blamed for our youth's total lapse in judgement:

Come on! When I was a kid, we had cocaine and that was it! We didn't need none of that designer crap.
:lol:


Of course, we have Pac-Man to blame for this. (Refer to my signature)

Grunge music really kicked the 90's into swing, but I think there are many things that will make the 90's remembered, like the rise of the internet.

Surprised it took so long for the internet to be mentioned.
Also the Anita Hill sexual harrassment trial. (why can't I remember the name of the Supreme Court judge she took to court??)

I'd agree w/ 'Titanic'.

Political correctness became the new thing in the 90s too.

Rise of hip hop in a very big way, as mentioned.

The Internet went from, kindasorta to gottahava.

Some day, hopefully, we'll be able to say the garb, way baggy pants and all that, spawned by hip hop was so '90's. So far the garb is still with us. :crazy:

Y'know, I met Clinton before and Monicagate was so huge that when I shook his hand, all I was thinking was, to put it lightly, Eww.

But I honestly think people should get over the Monica scandal. But let's save that for the political threads.
