The Real Adventures of Johnny Quest was pretty 90s. I watched a few episodes awhile back for a nostalgia trip and it has aged hilariously poorly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIuuPTM3nSc

Rack posted:I don't know what to call this style of design, but these definitely belong here. The style was popularized by Patrick Nagel, who mainly drew women in a minimalist style, most famously the cover for the Duran Duran Album Rio. According to Wikipedia, he was considered Art Deco although since it's not a train or an anime, I don't know how trustworthy that assessment is. This site is a probably a little bit more reliable and agrees though, It's an interesting read.

I still have all of my StarCom toys in a box somewhere. They had a lot of magnetic attachment points where spaceships could dock together or the people could stand with magnetic boots, and a lot of them had spring loaded moving parts that made a very distinctive sound. If you had any, this video will give you flashbacks/nostalgia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH4AhY3RCGU Jaguars! posted:The style was popularized by Patrick Nagel, who mainly drew women in a minimalist style, most famously the cover for the Duran Duran Album Rio.

It's also radical Ocean Pacific style mashed up with the movie "Rad". Radical. Radical. Extreme to the max!!!! Mullet!!!!!!!!! However, according to notes written on the back, I stink and Pete rules. There is a "Sike" that I appear to have written after this statement, but someone scribbled it out.. 90's slang was weird. Fortunately, my wife found brand new folders at the second hand store. The old folders hand worn out after drat near 30 years.

For some odd reason as a goon-aged american the songs i most strongly associate with blur are Girls and Boys and Parklife. I suppose those coincided with the brief period of time that I watched MTV?

When I watched this film for the first time, it blew my mind that John Farnham had songs on the soundtrack. John Farnham! Now say what you like about the 1 testicled, blonde mulletted, multiple retirement tour-having singer, but he is not and never has been RAD.

As I've mentioned, "You're the Voice" is one of those songs that I can't hear without my mind automatically segueing into the choruses of either "Alone" by Heart, "The Glory of Love" by Peter Cetera or "All Around the World" by Lisa Stansfield, because they always ran together in this love songs compilation album advert I saw on TV like a million times 20 years ago.

Iron Crowned posted:I've always wondered about that style, this particular one adorned the marquee outside a strip club until they replaced it with a digital one: Completely unrelated, but the show Moonbeam City uses the Nagel style for all its character designs. The shows Okay, very similar to Archer, but its got a great look at soundtrack if you like 80s stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxqqAXjAQk4 On the 90s side, something I associate heavily with 90s, was a lot of retro sounds in music but it being techno'd up. It's hard to describe, but I think Doop is the best example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvLDm8821jQ This video is a weird mash up of like Prohibition stuff but also the 60s. Actually, the John Farnham video was like that too. 3rd Bass was great, but the "guy in the rap group that's classy and wears suits" always felt like a weirdly manufactured character to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzXI_ApY4dY Oh one of my secret favorite bands in High School was Shakespears Sister, but I think it was more because I had a crush on the..I have no idea what her name is, but the more Gothic looking one. But then that classic gothic look will always get me. I had a tape where i only recorded the "evil" part of Stay off the radio. Evil Girls, they're the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lignn1VWAl8 Also the Best Band named after a Smiths song. And I loving LOVE the Smiths. Though really, Moz's solo career is basically the Smiths, just minus Marr's guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nAMFWDuDEI EDIT: I could have just googled it, Siobhan Fahey.

Pretty sure we all had this S drawn somewhere on our Pee-Chee folders: I remember talking to one of my co-workers about old fads, and he also remembered that S thing from elementary school, in the mid 70's. That thing has the oddest staying power considering its just a stylized letter.

Crow Jane posted:Wasn't it the Stussy logo? Quick image search is that the study logo is two mirrored S's superimposed but slightly offset, but I wasn't really in their market so they may have used it at one point. I may also be wrong about what level of schooling my co-worker was in, so it could theoretically have been early 80s, depending on high school vs. elementary. Either way, it predated the 90s, it just had staying power. I fully expect my nephew to show it to me in a few years, and he'll remember it as a weird 2010s thing when he grows up.

Crow Jane posted:Wasn't it the Stussy logo? Everybody said it was the symbol for "surf" generically where I lived. Surfing was cool ergo the symbol for surfing was cool. Considering how simple it is I'm going to go ahead and assume it's cropped up, spread, and been reintroduced in many areas repeatedly. I don't think it has a specific meaning. But yeah, everybody that was ten doodled those.

I found someone who claims to know its origin on Reddit, which neatly explains why it's so common:quote:This symbol is actually from a puzzle book that was released by Scholastic books. The original puzzle simply showed two rows of three vertical lines, and the challenge was to turn them into the letter S by adding eight more straight lines. Looking at the finished product it looks easy, but when faced with the two rows of three lines it was quite a challenge. Once it was figured out it became something to doodle as a rule. This became wide spread because EVERYBODY used to get Scholastic books in elementary school at one point or another. I bet if I dug around in the attic, I could probably find the original Scholastic puzzler this was in.

Seems likely. Growing up in East Anglia, England, in the 90's, we used to do that everywhere. I can still remember how to start it with six vertical lines, so it would make sense that it came from a puzzle. Pretty sure I learned it by copying someone else tho, so there's a bit of a meme about it.

Speaking of weird things kids drew, my last year in High School, a lot of the grade 10s that year had sXe drawn on their backpacks and stuff. I never understood what it meant, I always assumed it was some crazy 90s kids way of saying Sexy.

I think the word going around my school was that it was the Nazi s, which led to a bunch of edgy kids drawing swastikas too. Later I looked back on my childhood town and realized how incredibly racist it was for being an urban area outside of Camden/Philadelphia.
