That's the expression of someone forced to learn the violin and made to hold it by their parents because look how good you become at it!! I don't think you hold an instrument like that if you actually care for it.

You may be right about the expression but I'm pretty sure that's just how you hold a violin...

Like carrying a longarm with no sling. How do you even set it down safely, both for the safety of the mechanism and in general? Well, me vainly attempting to learn the violin for a year and a half was definitely a 90's thing. The one extracurricular activity I chose for myself, and ended up hating it.

For a while he liked brining up how hard he had to scrub the walls in my bedroom when we moved out of a house, I was 5 when we moved out of that house. Don't get me started on how much trouble I got into for "drawing" on my particleboard desk. My brother finally admitted to being the culprit after he was in his 20s, he apparently liked watching me get punished.

I always feel a weird sense of melancholy whenever I see that stuff. My household growing up was a mess filled with junk from my hoarder mom so I slept in a cramped space in an open office area with my brother, and my 'area' was a corner of the dining room where I could just barely keep a few things in between the mountains of boxes and cheap tchotchke trash that's never going to be used. The idea of having an entire room to yourself, that you can decorate as you want, just seems so wild. Yet alone decorate with weird, cultural stuff without constantly being bothered by the idea that you might have to explain it to your parents, even if it's totally benign.

My parents did a minor renovation on a few rooms in the house when I was like 13, my brother and I's room included. All the walls and ceiling torn down, floor ripped up, whole nine yards. So you bet your rear end they were not going to allow tack holes or tape residue on their new walls. Edit: Oh, and a couple pages late to 90's name chat, but basically we can just watch this easy reference video on 90's kids' names: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDYF_nu2I4M

Bought some Chupa Chups from the Asian grocery store near my house since they were selling them by the register. I haven't had one of those goddamned things since '99, so I ate the three that I bought one right after the other Edit: guess Chupa Chups are not 90s specific, but the first time I ever had them was because they were doing an ad campaign with the Spice Girls, so I associate them with the 90s, I guess Happy Landfill has a new favorite as of 08:17 on Jan 23, 2022 |

Mainly I’ve been back for weddings and poo poo) Fun fact: the Chupa Chups logo was designed by Salvador Dalí

We had, and still have giant hard candy lollypops, usually multilayered. They also came in giant dummy size (pacifier) back in the day and what makes this all so 90s is that this was all because of Speed and E clubbing culture. Whistles and regular dummies were used on that scene to stop you from grinding your teeth together.

We'd camp out the street corner to wait for the ice cream truck (we were on a little side street he wouldn't go down) and buy out the entire stock.

 I remember watching this every week and... damned if I remember what actually happened. Was anything ever answered? Then again, it's entirely possible the show had a conclusion but I don't remember anything because I was a teen and probably mostly watched it for Andrea Parker's legs.

Waldenbooks was my first retail job. By retail standards it wasn't bad. Sunday nights I would get the 6pm to 12 am shelving shift. There is something very relaxing about taking a cart of books and just putting them in alphabetical order. Two other coworkers did that shift and we had full control of the sound system. So we'd each put in a few CDs and hit random. You'd get this mix of 90's metal, showtunes and bits from comedy albums. Which shouldn't work but it kind of did. And I got to take part in this:  That was a pretty good day. Hung out with a bunch of TSR people, gave away a gently caress ton of swag, didn't have to go near a register, and got an attaboy from my manager for selling 10000% of the RPG sections sales total for the year in one day.
