That (along with Anne Rice's vampire books) directly influenced this:

Like "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" before it, "Rave Parking Lot" captures part of the 90's really well.

The Welsh guy who played the main vampire/detective became a US citizen a few years ago. His swearing-in ceremony was presided over by Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I choose to believe this happened because she loved the same terrible shows that I did while I was in high school.

OK, in 1994 I was in grad school and working full time at an IT job. We were hip to the internet, which hadn't quite reached the Normals yet. Wired Magazine was our bible, and we anxiously awaited every issue. Then, this:



Here come the Zippies! (2.05) In May of 1994, Wired announced that a confab of techno-pagens at the Grand Canyon in August would spark a cultural wildfire that could change America forever. It was the next Woodstock, the inauguration of a millennial culture.

Yup, that's some purestrain 90s, in both thought and appearance, right there. Feel free to chime in with your favorite Wired memories, like Get Thee To The Internet, and The Long Boom.

My favorite Wired memory was when it became 90% ads and I cancelled my subscription :allears:

In other news, I can't figure out which of these songs is the most 90's and would like goon input:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjNn4bbbgSw Seven Mary Three's "Cumbersome"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw The Prodigy's "Firestarter"

Sorry, but this is the most 90s video:

The spiky hair, the bleached tips, the wifebeater and white sneakers, the walking-on-the-wall special effects in a tiny room, the fake-reggae MC in a fedora...it's just too perfect.

Credit where credit is due to "The Way" and "Steal My Sunshine," though.

I think if I had to sum up the 90s, especially the music, in one word, it would be, in fact, "Cumbersome"

Seriously, gently caress that guy, and that Hungerstrike song too. God, Rock was lovely then. My teenage daughter goofs on me about 'dad rock' because I still listen to 80s metal, this reminds me of why.

These are still popular in the rural Midwestern U.S. To see them in the wild, just go to a Dairy Queen and you'll more likely than not be standing in line behind a self-styled "country gurrl" wearing bib overalls and a sports bra with no shirt.

Change comes slowly to some places (if at all).

I saw them in a few store windows around Sydney last summer, they were apparently the big thing at the time. Not sure why because I never saw anybody actually wearing them outside the stores.

As a kid/teen i would paste ads and graphics from games on my wall. I would stare in disbelief at Aliens Vs Predator and desperately wanted an Atari Jaguar. My alcohol diluted memories are of the console being prohibitively expensive back in the day. But that price is so low! I know it cost me a lot more that that to buy the Jaguar as an adult wanting nostalgia and promptly putting it in a box with a Pippen never to be played again.

Clearly you were not around when Ice Ice Baby was released. It was literally everywhere, all the time. And remember, this is the same decade that gave Brian Bosworth a movie for having some stripes shaved into the side of his mullet. The bar was pretty low.
