I think that's the last time I saw it.

Personally I hid in my bedroom until the 90's came along.

I personally missed the eighties (mostly too young to remember them), and I loathed the nineties.

The 90s had a few things I liked, but mostly no. 

It really is generational. I am sure those who grew up in the 90s as teens are not as fond of 2000s stuff just like I was not fond of 90s stuff.


I hated the grunge music like Nirvana but I did like and still do to today Weird Al's parodies of even today's music.

Nirvana had talent, otherwise they would not have sold shit. The only thing I can say is that they were not my taste.

I get shit from people when I tell them how much I hate Nirvana.

It's like a taboo subject.

Huh? I have been to Japan. They have infinitely lower crime rate by comparison. I was married to a Japanese woman. I am sure your post was sarcastic solely based on pop culture but still.

I love Japan, they gave us Godzilla and Johnny Sokko's Flying Robot, not to mention Sushi and tons of modern technology.


I am afraid though, after what my Redneck friend John(Rubber Ducky) in the NFL Pick Em thread, has shown me on Youtube, Country Music and banjo music has taken root there too.

RE: I learned something I didn't know before today.
I liked the 90's and the early noughties. The music was so much better. It's probably difficult to appreciate if you didn't have to live through the Stock-Atiken-Waterman mass produced, tuneless shite that got everywhere like a dog turd run over by a Roomba vacuum cleaner.

There was a return to real instruments rather than unnatural sounding synths. The 90's also lost the fascination with money and status, which seems to have made a come-back.

It's not that the 90's were particularly good, they were bland. But bland is good when you compare it with collapse of society in the 70's, the greed of the 80's, the war on terror of the noughties and the fascism of the teenies.

It started with the collapse of communism, but not yet the collapse of capitalism because the two were keeping each other in check, and we all started getting computers that were useful. And you could still afford a house and expect a pension.
