It was pretty cool if you were a kid but realistically crime in the US hit historic highs in 92-93 and it was still a recession.

Anyway just check youtube for VHS uploads of TV from that time or home movies. From 1994-1997 it seemed like pop culture shifted into a whole different decade

I feel like the early-mid 90s starting at '93 became a sort of a cultural black hole for a few years. People just idk... existed without any major happenings, akin to the end of the '70s era or the second half of 2010s. Patterns, ozone holes, aliens? Is the next dark age due in *checks watch* tyool 2030? Only pseudointellectuals and the OP might tell.

The OJ Simpson trial dominated the media landscape in the mid 90s but that's arguably not a "major happening" compared to the LA riots early in the decade.

Also the Oklahoma City bombing was 1995, which was kind of the last of a string of right-wing terrorist attacks taking out large numbers of people.

It's easy to think the internet is radicalizing people, but there was a pretty significant subculture of conspiracy theorists who cropped up after the fall of the soviet union and were livid about Clinton, NAFTA, the NWO and a bunch of other baloney.
