I'm interested in the various New Religious Movements that sprung up during the 1990s (granted, some predated the decade, but rose to prominence then), associated with millenarianism, conspiracy theory and ufology; people like the Branch Davidians, Aum Shinrikyo, the Order of the Solar Temple, the Pana Wave Laboratory and so on, people who believed the evil planet Nibiru was hiding in the perihelion of Comet Hale-Bopp and would emerge from behind the Sun to destroy the Earth, that kind of thing.

If the pervasive fear of world communism ended with the USSR and the pervasive fear of radical Islamic terrorism emerged on 9/11, the pervasive fear of the 1990s was conspiracies and cabals and New World Orders. If they were conspiring with Reptilians or Reticulans, that was a bonus. It was the decade of The X-Files after all.

I think that's just crazy people being crazy, or simply ignorance and fear mixed, not a typical thing of the 90's.

In 2012 we had all that Mayan poo poo and today a huge number of kids in France believe the Charlie Hebdo attacks were staged by mossad agents and no one is actually dead.

Just google illuminati on youtube to see how popular this subject still is.

Some people just need to believe really bad someone is in control, because the contrary is too frightening to think about.


e: it doesn't help that there has always been a great number of people making money out of these paranoid thoughts. Making fake UFO videos and linking them on conspiracy boards is easy money for some.

That music sounds straight out of a Westwood game.

Speaking of which, awesome intros + my first soundblaster card = nostalgia

Wait, "Italo Disco"? I thought that those wacky Germans were at the root of all this.

Giorgio Moroder is Italian but he comes from South Tyrol where they speak German
