Oops my bad. I had to pull out my ticket stub and double check, it was actually June 1992.
It was a great show. I remember them playing a bunch of new songs that didn't come out until the next year when Siamese Dream was released in 1993, like Disarm, Today and Rocket.

It probably seems cliched now, but seeing Pulp Fiction with fresh eyes really was amazing. Just something new and totally unexpected. I saw it in it's first week in theaters and picked it almost at random so I had only the faintest idea of what I was going to see. No movie I've ever seen has blown my mind like that.

I was 22 years old and finally understood the ketchup joke.

I think this was more of a 93 thing, but when Zima first came out it was really hard to get. There was an absolutely huge amount of hype for it and not much supply so all us ironic hipsters had to wait a few months until we could be disappointed that it was just updated Bartles and Jaymes.

The house was built in 1998, somebody bought it then but never moved in and kept it unlived in since then. it never even had furniture in it and even still has owner's manuals in the appliances. It's a new old stock house lol.

Yeah, it's not 1994, but that looks just like a lot of homes I was in 30 years ago. I hope the people who recently bought it leave it the way it is.

I just want to smile. Just once. I'd like to just, one time, go to Disney World and smile like the other boys and girls.
There is absolutely nothing remarkable about that house yet I still love it simply for lacking the hideousness of modern home decor. Not a grey wood floor or sliding barn door in sight.

That Nirvana show was the only one they played in Sweden.

Iron Maiden puts on a great show. I kind of can’t stand U2 now, but it was the style of the times.

the 1990’s were, in many ways, a reaction to the 1980’s.

the over the top brightly colored cult of personality that defined the 80’s was done again only spooky and depressed this time.

also some of the best parts of 90’s culture came from the late 80’s alternative music scene

like a goth younger sibling to the 80’s

all times are reactions and continuations of previous times. Humans don't make decisions or come up with thoughts in vaccuums

I was 13 in 1994. 8th grade.

Kurt Cobain's suicide meant something to a lot of people but definitely to kids aged 11-18 at the time, oh no our Elvis is dead, music will never recover!

Internet was still mostly AOL, and my Amiga 500 was not cutting edge any more but still getting a lot of use. One of the last Street Fighter 2's came out, and Tekken hit the scene, arcades were still where you would go with your friends and $20 to last 4 hours or so.

I don't remember nokia brick phones being in mass use yet, cell phones might've still been mostly giant ancient suitcases for your car. Give it a couple years, though.

A friend's Mom was obsessively renting every film from Blockbuster/Video Villa/wherever and home taping their entire store, had a special closet full of movies, some of which probably don't exist in any form at this point.

Started Kindergarten. I remember going to the theater to see Lion King at least three times. Played a whole lot of babby edutainment games on my Macintosh LC. Especially Kidpix. Y’all remember Kidpix?

For some reason I remember way more from 1995 for no good reason.

1994 was when Delerium's Semantic Spaces came out and I thought I was going to grow up to be a beautiful waifish new age artist wiccan who had a deep connection to animals and nature that no one else would understand.

I'm still obsessed with animals and nature, and I still love that album.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

A burnt out former gifted child with chronic depression and anxiety.

I have actually done some pretty cool stuff with my life, I used to think traveling to places like Borneo, Australia, and Belize was impossible for a poverty-stricken abused nobody stuck in a small town trailer park, but I've been to those places now, and many more! I'm even going to go watch a total solar eclipse in 2 months in Mexico. Never would have thought that was remotely possible back then.

I honestly wish I could go back in time and let 13 year old me know that some of my impossible dreams do eventually come true :unsmith:
