She was 100% a stereotypical Manson fan though. I'm not sure. We barely knew who he was and this was the night before their concert so we I'm not even sure I had heard of his music before then. 94 seemed to be the year when people went really into goth and industrial music. The Crow came out later that year and really fuelled that. More than one friend of mine had a bit of an awakening after seeing the Closer video and changed their image almost overnight.

It was like chewing on those wax bottles that had the liquid on it, pretending it was candy. That's what that entire year was like.

Dancehall was great in 94. I worked with a Jamaican dancehall vocalist who would bring in live soundclash tapes he’d have mailed from home. I still love that era of live dancehall, dudes loving screaming over tracks with gunshot and laser gun sounds everywhere. https://youtu.be/TWBtOwJu7RM?si=eJIt2EN-EM0ert-D

Yeah, The Downward Spiral and Black Box – Wax Trax! Records: The First 13 Years were in heavy rotation in my friends' CD players. Smoking cigarettes indoors was still a thing, and everyone smoked. If you want to know what a mid 90s college party was like, rub a little CK One on your wrists and neck, spill some beer on your shirt, and smoke a Marlboro while Closer plays in the background.

Beedis were a fun sort-of cigarette. I used to keep them around for a little head rush after smoking weed. Pretty sure they’ve been banned in NY.

Not really a 1994 thing but I spent so much money on import CDs, sometimes $35 just to be able to hear to new tracks. Not like the now where you can just look up unreleased tracks or remixes. The NIN remixes were like that and sometimes better than the originals. https://www.nin.wiki/Halo_numbers Some metal bands never put albums out in the US (because metal was dead by 94) and you could only get them from Japan. Seeing the Tori Amos video above reminded me of seeing her in concert. I have never seen more people in an audience doing coke than at a Tori Amos concert. I mean she was also high as a kite but I just found it amusing.

Pretty insane considering how many metal shows I have seen where you would assume they were all blown out of their mind on goat's blood or whatever

94...I was 5 for most of it, so I was still living in my birthplace. I'd move 45 minutes down the road within the next year and a half, though. I had a friend who owned a Sega genesis while I did not and was extremely jealous of that fact. Sonic owned and I wished he would live in my house. By that point I think my grandma had bought me a Gameboy for Christmas and I could not peel away from it. Eventually I got stuck on Link's Awakening and Donkey Kong, so I turned to other games that weren't as good. Other than that...I dunno, cartoons were rad as hell.

Had it not been for the WB content of the mid-late 90s, and maybe early 90s Disney and Gargoyles, 90s animation would be a sort of gray fog of who gives a poo poo. At least in another year anime will flop in the US with Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball getting syndicated releases, but become pop culture mainstays with cable revivals a few years later.
