President Beep posted:i remember folks chipping away at the berlin wall. I also remember the chipmunks episode wherein they sang about the same. i was in a grade nine geography class when the teardown started in earnest, and i remember the teacher kept having to stop and back up to explain to us the significance of what we were hearing cause we were dumbfuck fourteen year olds who didn't get it

i think the earliest major news thing i remember is bits and pieces of the tail end of the OJ trial, probably the civil trial and not the original one. the earliest news thing in general i remember is the explosion of the Delta 2 carrying GPS IIR-1 because it almost killed my dad

You can probably split the millennial generation between pre-Elmo's World and Elmo's World cohorts and it would split at right about 1995 - kids born after that point grew up with their childhood media experience dominated by Elmo but kids born beforehand were too old for Elmo to reach unless they had some kind of cognitive disability.

infernal machines posted:lmao, i bet you chumps don't even remember where you were the day princess diana died I was at my dad's house and we'd just gotten finished with dinner, nothing special just some chicken legs, rice, and mixed veggies. They mostly led with the coverage of the crash and I don't recall the news about her death happening until the next morning. Bubba The Love Sponge was still a local morning zoo DJ at the time for 93.3 in Tampa and he kept calling the people tending the gravesite asking them to rub the phone in the flowers because one of his gags at the time was to ask women calling in to rub the phone on their pubes. poo poo was a fuckin weird time.
