Teriyaki Hairpiece Dec 28, 2006 I'm nae the voice o' the darkened thistle, but th' darkened thistle cannae bear the sight o' our Bonnie Prince Bernie nae mair. I was alive in 1994 but I have very few memories. What was the food like? What was the music like? What sort of TV were people watching? Big movies? Big news stories?

Gangsta rap really began taking point, transforming a genre that typically had lyrics along the lines of Here is my rap It really is a funk! Let's have a dance Don't act like a punk! I'm going to do a spin And sing a cool rap song But if you don't dig it You are so very wrong! This has unanimously been considered a Good Thing by the world at large

Kurt Cobain's romantic decisions ended up causing him problems that year.

It was like when you could still have a really badass portable Sony Discman (DSP-555) and get asked by my dumbass friends "Has it got a radio in it?" The tech for that model was the zenith in a portable, but no one liked my 80s metal / industrial CD collection.

It was hella awesome, OP. '94 was ace, met some odd but cool people, music was incredible and I went to the greatest gig of my life almost by accident. 5/5, would recommend.

Just watch Seinfeld and you'll pretty much get the gist of it. You could also get regular size candy bars for 33¢. They were bigger back then too!

1994 was Nine Inch Nails The Downward Spiral mixed with a lot of Doom II gameplay, and it ruled.

Pretty sure I got my first Littlest Pet Shop that year, this kicking off a childhood obsession that took me leaving the country to break.

I got my first single apartment that year, it was run down, but huge, and living alone was a revelation. Also, when I went to see it, the girl who lived there already's like "I have to leave the country and can't take most of this stuff, do you want to buy it?" And I was like "I'm pretty broke". So she just left everything, and thus I moved into a fully furnished apartment with cool stuff like a leopard print ottoman. I still have a few things from that lady.

Oh gosh 1994 that brings me back... Back then youd pay a hay penny for a candied apple and that was expensive! Back then those buildings over there, that was just farmlands, hay fields and rutabagas as far as the eye can see. Course there were big cities but you didn't want to go there, full of bootleggers and dance halls and all sorts of trouble. But them cities was the only places you could catch a talkies back then, back home you could only see a silent movie at the theater on sundays after church. Cars were rare back then too, i remember my families first car and it was a downright shock speeding down the road at 25 mph, and no seat belts! No nobody cared about safety back then, but manners... THOSE were important. Everyone was polite, everyone said sir and maam, and if you didnt youd sure to be gettin a whoppin from ma right there in the street, gentlemen passing by offering their belts in case the switch she made ya fetch broke. Better times 1994, better times

It probably seems cliched now, but seeing Pulp Fiction with fresh eyes really was amazing. Just something new and totally unexpected. I saw it in it's first week in theaters and picked it almost at random so I had only the faintest idea of what I was going to see. No movie I've ever seen has blown my mind like that. Tons and tons of great music too. One of the best years for pop culture in my opinion.

Saw this on a t-shirt and it blew my mind I remember staring at green day's dookie album   part of a larger posterDad owned a 1988 Ford Escort which was getting to be on its last legs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Escort_(North_America)#1985%E2%80%931990 Played a hell of a lot of Sim City on my school's computer lab, Mac LC IIs - any kind of PC poo poo is loving expensive, USD $3500+ a seat in 2020 money. I remember visiting another school for some Jazz Band thing and a few teachers were really eager to show off their lab full of Macintosh Quadras - which ... uhhhhhhh Chicago based, this was the era of Bulls dominance, so lots of kids wore Bulls jerseys and Starter jackets. "Mom can I have a bulls jacket?" "$150? no." I got really depressed as a teenager and intentionally cut off a few friendships I'd made since grade school. The next year most of my class went to the public high school, while I went to a private catholic college prep school where 99% went to college and 10% went to an Ivy or Ivy-adjacent. One of the friends I'd broken off relationships had a brother who was a senior while I was a freshman and every time I passed him in the halls he looked at me like I was a piece of poo poo. Kids are funny. Coffee Jones fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jan 2, 2024 |
