| 2094 | Article | Vaporman87 | For me, I look back on the 90's as two parts. The first part being the early 90's (1990 to the end of 1992). This part very much felt (and I still recall it as) like an extension of the 80's. I think that is mainly because I was still in high school during those years. However, I think there is some truth in saying that much of the culture, from music to television to even the words we spoke, remained relevant. I see those years as being ALMOST as golden as the 80's. Everything after 1992 I see as a transition period. Not only for me, but for pop culture in general. A period of transition from the 80's and what they were all about, to the 2000's and what they were all about. These were the years that spawned the internet after all. But even our musical tastes, the advent of computer graphics and their extensive use in film, the cartoons being watched and their focus on nonsensical humor as opposed life lessons, all of this was in a process of change. I don't know that I see that period as having it's own identity as much as I see at as growing pains for popular culture as it would become in the new millennium. | Mar 18, 2015 |  | |
| 2098 | Article | OldSchool80s | Agree with Vaporman on both counts. I have some favorite movies from the late-90s, but other than that... I guess it all depends on your age | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2099 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Agreed on that. But since I was born in 91 I experienced the late 90s | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2102 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Interesting overview of a decade. You are about the same as as my niece, so when you mentioned Wishbone I remember watching that with her at age 4 or so (keep in mind, I was only 12 or 13). I used to call him "Fishbone" just to mess with her. I loved when Ghost Writer would follow, definitely more my style. I was never fooled by the shows that tried to make learning "fun" like Bill Nye or Beakman. At least Mr. Wizard was as boring as any science teacher, so you knew what you were getting. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2104 | Article | Mr Magic | I think Kurt Cobain had something to do with flannel shirts being cool. I miss the Nabisco Thing, btw. What made the 90s great for me was playing Sega Genesis and watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network every day. Yep, it was a special time. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2106 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should say that I certainly don't disregard the entire decade as "not that special". When I say that I felt it lacked it's own identity, I didn't mean that to say it wasn't still special. I know for those spending their formative years in the nineties, they were the most special decade ever. Thankfully, that decade had many things carry over from the eighties, and those kids could benefit from the spirit of the eighties. Something I don't think millennials can appreciate. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2109 | Article | ThatDudeintheHoodie | I agree with that. Though that I saw when I read up on things is that the 90's for the earlier part of it was 80s part 2. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2092 | Article | Vaporman87 | I love, love, LOVE that those wrestling figures are the same sculpts used for the "Dutch" and "Hamato" ninja style figures! LOL I too enjoyed picking out the occasional cheap plastic plaything. Usually it was the result of my mom having to take us to the grocery store and to appease our cries of boredom, she would allow us to choose something from the small, limited toy aisle that was present there. We would also pick up special junk like this at the Fair as well. Whether by winning it, or just carelessly spending our money on it outright. Funny thing is, nowadays, I am buying this exact same stuff for my own kids. It's like they never stopped manufacturing it or changed it in any way. During this past year's Ox Roast (Fourth of July Festival) here in Rutland, I ended up having to buy two sets of those weapon packs (western style) with the cheap weapons. Good stuff.

| 2093 | Article | vkimo | That's the thing! The stuff hasn't changed at all! They're milking those plastic forms for all their worth haha | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 18, 2015 | |
| 2096 | Article | pikachulover | After a while I got better at finding the better quality toys. Sometimes they would have name brand toys. My mom would buy me male dollar store fashion dolls. They would have outfits that were made out of more expensive fashion doll left overs. I had a few that wore some Micheal Jackson doll clothes. One had a "Thriller" jacket. They were cheap and the heads would fall off. | Poor Kids Toybox | Mar 19, 2015 | |
