I'm really starting to look forward to the inevitable wave of 90's nostalgia

[royalfan5]

While going to lunch today, I caught some of the 90's at Noon on a local radio station. This made me realize I am going to enjoy 90's nostalgia way more than I ever did 80's nostalgia. Let's face it, the 90's were a fun decade, and it would give people an excuse to put in the Everclear CD's crank Santa Monica. I hope the wave gets here soon, because I'm tired of people thinking 80's theme parties are a good idea, and it would give entertainment folks something different to recycle.

[picasso]

gotta be 20 years first.

[royalfan5]

gotta be 20 years first.
Only 26 months till that happens.

[frankensooner]

Wow, Whitney Houston parties. I think I will pass.

[royalfan5]

Wow, Whitney Houston parties. I think I will pass.
Whitney Houston can be construed as 80's as well though. Art Alexakis on the other hand, solidly 90's.

[AllAboutThe'O']

I may still have a pair of Zubaz pants hanging in my closet. I'll break those out, provided they still fit me.:D

[tommieharris91]

Oooo, that means grunge will become classic...

[Jerk]

KRXO (classic rock) has started playing some early 90's songs in their rotation. I've heard stuff like The Black Crows and U2.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

XM has an all 90s station.

[Harry Beanbag]

VH1 has already done at least two I Love the 90's mini-series deals.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

XM has an all 90s station.

I am already there!! I love that channel. Also, XM 54 (Lucy) is pretty much all 90s alternative! I have been missing the 90s for 7 years now! Haha (Except for 2000 when we won the championship!)

[Veritas]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. Anybody remember Snow? Jon Secada? Color Me Badd?

:vomits:

[OUDoc]

You'll look forward to whatever decade you grew up in. Then you're old and will be teased by the next younger group. Whippersnappers. :mad:

[King Crimson]

nostalgia is the most portable, efficient demographic there is.

dividing cultural "moments" into decades is totally arbitrary, anyway. except when the Clear Channels of the world sell it back to you as an objectified way of thinking/remembering/cultivating consumer habits.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. Anybody remember Snow? Jon Secada? Color Me Badd?

:vomits:

Yeah, but every decade has their parts they wanna forget. The Carpenters anyone? Captain and Taneille? Makes me want to rip my ears off. There are some bad 80s bands too. Sad thing is I kinda liked Jon Secada. The other two, not so much.

Besides, the 90s gave us Garbage, No Doubt (when they were good), Nirvana, Sheryl Crow, Oasis, Weezer, etc. The good outweigh the bad.

[yermom]

A licky boom-boom down

there was some pretty good stuff from the '90s though

[Veritas]

Oh, no question about it. My CD collection (back when I used to listen to CDs) is pretty much all 90's. My favorite music was for the most part recorded in the first half of the decade (Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Pantera, etc).

But...those specials tend to focus on teh succ.

[crawfish]

That'll be good. Having kids made me miss the entire 90's...

[rufnek05]

that means i can bring out my Back street boys CD again and not feel ashamed.

[OUDoc]

that means i can bring out my Back street boys CD again and not feel ashamed.
Not true. You should even be ashamed for that post.

[rufnek05]

oh come one. everyone was a fan of that lovable gay quartet.

[BillyBall]

Wow, Whitney Houston parties. I think I will pass.

When I hear "Whitney Houston parties" I immediately think crack.

[crawfish]

I'm serious. For me, 90's nostalgia is episodes of "Blues Clues" and KidSongs.

Bleah.

[silverwheels]

I could do without the 90s nostalgia.

[royalfan5]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5q-4HFxXsYM

This song reminds me of riding the school bus in Jr. High. I think the song was a highlight of the 90's.

[royalfan5]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=sVNAp1C8LIw

This reminds of road trips to watch volleyball games in High School. That song was always on the radio one fall.

[BillyBall]

I hope that the "wearing your clothes backwards" fad comes back, that was a good look...

[JohnnyMack]

I will beat some ****ing *** if anyone wants to get out the Sega Genesis and play me in NHL '94.

[royalfan5]

Ha! You wish.

[royalfan5]

Weren't they a quintet?

[JohnnyMack]

Bring it.:texan:

What were you, 3 when that game came out?

[JohnnyMack]

:les:I call Pavel Bure!!!!

[royalfan5]

What were you, 3 when that game came out?
12. It was the first game I got with my Super Nintendo.

[rufnek05]

Weren't they a quintet?


were there 5 of them? I thought there were 4.

[JohnnyMack]

No SN crap in my world. You go Sega Genesis or you don't go at all.

[BillyBall]

:les:I call Pavel Bure!!!!

The addition of the ability to use "one-timers" in the 94 edition made the combination of Steve Yzerman and Sergei Federov unstoppable.

[royalfan5]

No SN crap in my world. You go Sega Genesis or you don't go at all.
I can handle both systems. I also excel at NHL 97 for Play Station if you want to try that.

[Pricetag]

The addition of the ability to use "one-timers" in the 94 edition made the combination of Steve Yzerman and Sergei Federov unstoppable.
They took the fighting out of that one, though, didn't they? I greatly preferred NHLPA '93.

[royalfan5]

speaking of that.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

NHL '94 was the sh*t! That is the reason I got the Sega Genesis. THere is one move that will always fool the goalie. You have to skate on one side of the rink and move across the front of the goalie while holding the shoot button down (don't release it) and then when the goalie dives thinking the puck has been shot, release the button. Gaurenteed to score everytime. There were games that were 111-5. F***ing rocked!

Also, 1990-1996 > 1997-1999 music wise.

[SoonerAtKU]

You're not wrong, but you don't even have to shoot to score in 94-96. If you are using a right-handed player, you can hold the puck and run into the corner of the goal. At the right angle, the puck is dislodged and you score every time. Goalie or no goalie. This caused more than one fistfight between roommates.

Oh, and if we're calling players/teams, I'll take the Bruins with Neely, Oates, and Bourque over any team you'd like.

[crawfish]

Thinking of Sheri Lewis and Lambchop singing "this is the song that never ends" still induces me to vomit.

Whoa, that brings back some memories, good and bad. Reminds me of the surreal life I led in the Navy, underway, and the beautiful dreariness that is northwest Washington state.

It also reminds me that I'm getting old and will be dead one day. Time is an evil adversary that cannot be beaten. :(

[Harry Beanbag]

Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it. Anybody remember Snow? Jon Secada? Color Me Badd?

I loved my SN. NCAA Basketball was pretty addicting, and it was also a great day when I picked up by copy of Tecmo Super Bowl.

[Boomer_Sooner_sax]

Remember how bad Beavis and Butt-head were? That is nothing now that is compared to what is on TV now.

[goingoneight]

Ahhh, the 90's.

OJ was innocent, Britney was the good one, no one from N'SYNC was ghey, power chords were all it took to make a (punk) hit, rap music was considered "ground-breaking," Tupac was still alive (to some, even after 1996), Michael Jackson was just misunderstood, OU was "dead legend" :mad:...

I liked much about the 1990's but I'm well over it now.

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

Until 1998, when I married Mr. Gal, the 90s were the worst decade of my life. I have NO nostalgia for them.

YMMV.

Half or more of that **** is actually 80's stuff. Someone ****tard took the "child of the 80's" list and did a **** poor job of modifying it (actually, **** poor would be an improvement). Some of it's even earlier then that.
