I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Now it's always internet time. It never stops. How I wish for a reprieve from internet time.

She played the girl who was hot for Marcia in The Brady Bunch Movie, which is itself extremely '90s despite being based on a property from the '60s.

Laughing about how silly the 60s were was a very 90s thing to do. Also just being nostalgic for the 60s in general. Though i think thats more of a "hey boomers, remember when you were a teenager and all you thought about was getting rear end, driving and listening to music your parents hated? Well, here's the 60s!"

I remember being really in to Brady Bunch as a kid, probably due to the Nick At Nite reruns. I rented that 90s movie a ton...took me way too long to realize it was different actors in the movie than the TV show :cripes:

Surprised no one is talking about Matthew Perry passing in here

Edit: I was even more lame, it was A Very Brady Sequel that I really liked for some reason. I was 8

What's amazing is tthat this picture was obviously taken in the 2000s at some point, but i haven't seen these boxes anywhere in like 20 years.

Somewhere out there the 90s might still be going.

Well, from the photo, that's a ttc subway station. Given the A Tribe Called Red / Idle No More headline, probably around 2013. There's like 70 subway stations in operation currently so maybe some of them still have those things.

In 1995 on a family vacation through the flyover states in an RV, possibly around South Dakota or Tennessee we came across a bunch of people in reflective suits and trival boots with exaggerated pompadours holding vintage motorcycle helmets climbing what i think was a pedestrian overpass. While i understand that might sound ridiculous i have found the pictures that prove it.

Apparently they had a 1996 Album Leningrad Cowboys Go Space, which jives with the space man motif.

You could imagine some Canadian yokels coming across this in the middle of nowhere in the age before the inter net.

This is a song by a crappy 80s hair metal band but it was released in the 90s and is actually pretty kick rear end if you ask me (you didn't ask, but gently caress you to the extreme).

Too High To Fly by Dokken.

gently caress yes.
