Wandering Knitter posted:What makes winamp 90's were the thousands of terrible free skins you could download from shady websites. It was right up there with custom cursors and changing your computer shut down noises to Dr. Who audio clips. I shared a computer with 2 teenaged sisters in the 90s, and I distinctly remember they changed the error noise to Julia Roberts saying "She's toast." Why do I remember this?

My brother-in-law just posted a picture on Facebook of a mall directory from the 90s, which brought back a lot of memories. I think one thing from the 90s that doesn't really happen anymore is the whole idea of a "mall culture," kids don't really hang out at the mall in this day and age. Then again we have a tiny, lovely-rear end mall, so that just might be my area. That reminds me, if you have archives, check out this thread where someone posted the diary of a really white-trashy teenaged girl circa 1993, which was found in a dresser at Goodwill. edit: fixed url Coffee And Pie has a new favorite as of 00:51 on Apr 1, 2012 |

DrBouvenstein posted:From 1997 - 2001, every senior class awards ceremony, or "banquet", or whatever you call it, ended with a slide show or PowerPoint presentation filled with pictures of the graduating seniors (a mix of candid shots, yearbook photos, and kid/baby photos) set to "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" by Greenday. Ten years later and you better believe they still to the same exact thing. If I remember correctly, it also featured Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C.

bean_shadow posted:Does anybody remember a dinosaur game where you had to go to different prehistoric time periods and take photos of the dinos? That sounds like Pokemon Snap, one of my favorite N64 games, right below the original Mario Party games (which I busted out recently, and it hold up really well.)

I just remembered this thread where someone found a diary kept during the earlyish 90s. Pretty interesting stuff, but you'll need the archives to read it, I think: Going nowhere fast... falling so hard we never look back.

leidend posted:I'm old enough to remember thinking, circa 1986, that fashion had been pretty much perfected. Where could it possibly go from there? And really, we've just looped back through the styles of 70s/80s/90s since then so maybe it's not completely wrong. If flared-bottom or baggy pants get popular again, I may actually kill myself.

Naylenas posted:Does anyone remember what was essentially a magazine in CDROM form sent out through the mail in the mid 90s? It was primarily music focused and had a few buildings to click on with different content in each one. I've been wracking my brain for a while trying to recall the name of it. Along the same lines, I'm always kind of surprised when I see that they still have those magazines that feature a free CD. Seems like they could just include a code to download the content off their website.

Ema Nymton posted:Apparently the time capsule does contain a box of Hostess Twinkies. If so, it could be the most valuable item in the whole box. Who would have guessed back then? Twinkies are coming back! Speaking of which, am I crazy or were people in the 90s crazy over fast food? I feel like every movie from that period involves McDonalds or Taco Bell. I can't really judge for myself because I was a chubby little kid in the 90s, so of course I loving loved fast food.

OdorousTobacco posted:Even though it premiered at the very end of the 90's, I don't think there's anything more 90's than the fact that there was a TV show called Shasta McNasty. I remember a series with books with titles such as "Ghosts Don't Eat Potato Chips" and "Aliens Don't Wear Braces." If I remember correctly, they basically taught kids to be skeptics...Mulder would have hated it.

Especially eurodance and 90s hiphop, with probably Scooter and Vengaboys on the top. Because, gently caress yeah, that's why. I bought (and got complimented on) a loving denim shirt the other day. The 90s are back and I love it.

Kalos posted:If they were stopped by a group of teenagers, at least one of which is riding a skateboard, then you could repackage this as the most 90's movie. Alternatively, have them stopped by a forgetful but well-meaning dad trying to buy an all but sold-out gift on Christmas Eve. I'm pretty sure that was the plot of the Dean Cain classic Die Hard knockoff, Christmas Rush.

If there was a 70s fad in the 90s and a 90s fad now, does that mean in 10 years, there's gonna be a 00s fad? What are teenagers gonna obsess over? 9/11 and the original iPod?
