I have such nostalgia for the 90's. It was a wild time. This thread has been great to read. Class of 99 baby!

I started this true crime doc series "The 90s: The Deadliest Decade" on Hulu. It is very anachronistic but still a fun trip. The bumper graphics are pagers and AOL screen grabs, old TV ads and local news clips.

That picture clearly isn't from 1995, though. I see a Crash Team Racing logo back there, so this would probably be 1999.

I bought that Barfield shirt for my son years ago, and after he outgrew it, his sister took it over. A family heirloom!

I don’t remember a single one of those being in common usage in the 90s except “peace”. I feel like this was made to trick unsuspecting ESL students into sounding almost American. Or the producer had a 48 hour deadline and just made stuff up

"Norville" as a usurper is a reference to Deborah Norville, who was tapped to replace popular Jane Pauley as co-host of the Today Show and got a lot of undeserved poo poo for it.

dialhforhero posted:Pearl clutching is not the same of course but is around. “Pearl clutching” itself vastly predates the 90s, and while I’m sure there’s a lot of 90s slang that I’ve forgotten or which never rose to sufficient prominence to show up in a sitcom, I have never, ever heard someone use “Clutch the pearls!” as an expression.

I was listening to a podcast that described the 90's as a 10 year coke party and the 2000's was waking up the next day.

What are some big cultural events that signify the end of the 90s? Ya know like people use Altamont or the Manson murders to bookend the 60s. I guess 9/11 is the obvious one.

Yeah 9/11 is the obvious answer but I'd pick the introduction of the iPod as a dark horse runner-up. All of a sudden bright colors, fun fonts and XTREME were dead, it's gonna be cold understated white for the next decade.

Timing is coincidence (or is it  ) but that just feels like it was another nail in the coffin for that whole 90s aesthetic that was already fading a bit.

I want to say Bush v Gore, because it ended a period of relative political harmony (despite Gingrich and the blowjob impeachment). I consider that ruling to be a sign of things to come.
