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.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:

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"



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.
