Ah, the 1990s

What can I say about the 90s? Hmm.... let's start off by saying:

-fashion was horrible, especially for girls (grunge and neon spandex anyone?)

-comic books sucked so bad the whole industry crashed

-the overall culture was permeated by this mtv crap

-the internet was slow as hell

-television for the most part sucked

-music was mediocre and was the age of one hit wonders

-apart from the emergence of indie films and the year 1999, movies basically blew

-Politics were in the complete shitter thanks to the rethuglican revolution of 94

-Bosnia, Somalia, Rwanda...things weren't pretty

-AIDS kept killing people and was still mostly ignored until magic johnson got the ball rolling

-Fucking pogs and beanie babies were consuming people's souls.

-The fucking Macarena

-Bill Clinton

-OJ Simpson

Well I guess there were some bright spots:

-This was a great time if you were a gamer. There were about eight different consoles you could buy before Sony and Nintendo dominated everything.

-I remember there being some decent cartoons that you didn't have to subscribe to fucking cable to see.

-Napster was a godsend to people like me who don't see the point of paying 20 bucks for one cd when I could download 1000 songs for free.

-No terror alerts

-No Homeland Security

-You could still bring liquids on a plane.

-"The Real World" was the only reality show on tv.

- Illegal immigrants were treated like illegal immigrants.

-No one ever heard of Radical-Islam

-Paris Hilton's hideous std ridden face wasn't on every channel, magazine and website.

-Madonna was ALMOST attractive.

-9-11 was just another day.
