Man I really, really want to watch Hackers again. What a strange time it was indeed in the world that such a film could be produced and be completely in earnest.

When I was in elementary school one year I got spawn pogs for my birthday. Since Spawn and pogs were both really popular at the time, I convinced myself that they would be worth a ton of money someday.  I sealed them in a box and hid them in my closet like a retarded nineties time capsule. My mom probably ended up selling them at a yardsale. There goes my retirement fund.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n3GJ-cYn6I The Eyewitness song, and the series in general are pretty iconic of the nineties for me. My family owned a few and I remember being allowed to watch them when I was home sick from school. I think we had one about tigers? When a teacher showed one of these videos in school I felt like everyone else was intruding on my turf.

I remember very little that was distinctive about it, except for one bit in the section on Venus, where the narrator intones in the most menacing voice possible, "Many astronomers believe... that Venus... is the planet... CLOSEST... TO HELL!" Pretty sure I took to I skipping over that bit every time I rewatched it.

I remember at some point during the 90s as a stupid, stupid teenager, explicitly thinking how lucky we were to live in a time of "normal" fashion compared to the garishness of the 70s and 80s, and being pretty sure that there was no way 90s fashion would become dated in the same way. I think it was during the Rachel haircut fad. This may have been my wrongest opinion ever.

I think it was during the Rachel haircut fad. There's some truth to this though, because living IN a time means you're going to see a much less dramatic and more homogenized version of popular fashion. When we look back at movies/TV shows/magazines from the 90's it's all people in whatever the most popular raver pants/mesh belly shirt/work boots combo was at the time, but if you're an actual teenager maybe you can only afford the belly shirt, or maybe your parents only will let you get the pants because the other stuff is too racy or something. Like, everyone who was there knows it wasn't the case, but you know the kids of 2025 are going to look back on the year 2007 and imagine everyone was dressed like extras in a brokencyde video.

Look no further than the 80s! This is what happens when I GIS "80s fashion":  And here is a promotional shot from a very famous 80s movie about midwestern teenagers:  You can do this for any time. The biggest difference between 90s and modern fashion is that the clothes were a lot baggier.

"Knowing together that we did it all for the glory of looooYOU'RE THE VOICE TRY AND UNDERSTAND, YEAH!" Sort of like that. It's hard to explain.

You pretty summed it up, well done. I'd get upset hearing some of those tunes on the radio when it just kept playing the full song instead of cutting away to the next bit like on the commercials

Yea, after a quick Wiki scan, TV Guide is probably more along the lines of "Post the most 50's thing you can find". It was apparently the most read magazine in America by the 60's and only really started to suffer in the new millennium when this new fangled internet fad started to grow.
