I saw either a penthouse or a hustler in the back of a Hudson News in JFK Airport sometime in the mid-late 90s. We were waiting to pick up either my uncle or grandparents, I can’t quite remember. I definitely wasn’t supposed to see it and I have no clue how I was able to leaf through it for as long as I did, but I was able to look at it for probably like a good 15 minutes. Plenty of time for it to imprint itself on my like 7-8 year old brain

It came off real slick and professional for the band that seemed to try to sell itself as a some kind out outsiders that where here to challenge the big corporate rock of *checks lyrics* Beck and Hanson. “You know what I love about rich kids? Nothing” (yeah Patrick Willems just dropped a 35 minute video about hit early 00’s TV show The O.C, what of it?)

The thing that gets me is how much older everybody looks/feels and especially dresses. I am basically the age that the Seinfeld cast was during some of the show’s most beloved episodes, and I just cannot reconcile the fact that Jason Alexander is like 31 there. They all seem so old and middle-aged. There appears to be this massive gulf in the early-mid 90s between, like, the plaid-wearing teens and 20-somethings, and 30-somethings going to parties in slacks and button-down shirts and shined shoes and poo poo. When I haven’t been teaching I dress like a drat 20 year old, and I feel even less responsible. Like today it’s so common to see people in their 40s dressing like/mixing with people in their 20s and like dying their hair, etc. but also the late 90s/2000s is when workwear culture massively changed in general. Like my engineer dad went from dressing like George Costanza, with a tie and starched shirts, in his 30s to wearing the now-rote corporate uniform of tucked polo shirt (preferably with company logo), jeans, and New Balances in his 40s and 50s. Now he just wears a lot of wool sweaters to work.

spaceblancmange posted:The last time I had Vienetta was few* years ago and it was exactly as I remembered it in the 90s so I'm kind of intrigued about how bad this new one is. Another junk food I associate with the 90s that has been changed up here is Pringles, they switched from US to Malaysian made a few years back and while Pringles are not exactly a god tier chip they worse than store brand knock offs. Malaysian Pringles would be a good SA handle

FilthyImp posted:It'd be interesting if they went with Married with Children instead of, say, Friends, for the 90s episodes since each subsequent era introduces more complexity/conflict. Ally McBeal, I wanna see some Marvel B-tier characters hook up in a unisex bathroom to Vonda Shepherd covers like all those evangelicals are afraid will happen everywhere

I often use instant ramen bricks to make more elaborate and involved Asian noodle soups but I generally save the broth packets to toss on popcorn (or whenever I need an additional umami burst in like a sauce or soup or whatever, they’re great for that. I’ve heard of people putting them in mac+cheese for a “truffle like” effect).

KHLAV KALASHNIKOV posted:Probably. But the reason I thought it was so great was that, compared to the other flavors, it wasn’t that sweet. Everything else was just awful... and then there was Fruitopia. That poo poo almost gives me a headache just thinking about it. There’s still something kind of perfect about a really cold Capri Sun. Like, warmer Capri Sun is decent and room temp Capri Sun is still less saccharine and cloying than a lot of other juice drinks are/were, but there’s something about Capri Sun when it’s at like 33-35 degrees Fahrenheit and it doesn’t have any ice formed in it and it’s just at the platonic ideal of coldness where it’s maybe one of the single best drink experiences you can have. And then the pouch sizes are always small enough (even like the big ones, which I never got) where you’re left at the right point of satisfaction and wanting more. It’s not like an Arizona drink where it just keeps on offering up beverage until it’s hot and you’re full and you kind of hate it. No, Capri Sun is like the Seinfeld of juice drinks, it leaves you at the top, before you can get sick of it. Why yes I still purchase Capri Sun on occasion what of it.

I’d even say after Y2K. I don’t think the Matrix really feels ‘of the 90s’, it exists in its own bubble era between 1999 and 9/11. Or maybe it’s when Dubya became President, but that might just be because I don’t really have much memory of the Bush Sr. years. I turned 10 at the end of 1999 and went from elementary to middle school in 2000, so 2000 feels like a big transitional moment for me personally, maybe if not for everybody else or older ppl.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:The end of the decade is usually pretty distinct from the beginning as well. You can easily define late 90's compared to early 90's, late 00's to early 00's. But, what about the 2010's? Was 2019 really all that distinct from 2011? I suppose, politically. in the United States it was. There was the Obama years and the Trump years, and even if the fortunes for lots of people didn’t really materially change for the better or worse (at least until COVID) the mood and psychic tenor of the country was completely different during those two periods

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:Absolutely. Parks & Recreation aired from 2009 to 2015 and boy does is that glaringly obvious now. Portlandia could not be conceived post-Trump A lot of it seems like a time capsule mercifully preserved from a more innocent time but a lot of it also comes of as weirdly misplaced and mean-spirited in hindsight, or taking the wrong lessons from its era and environment. Like so much media in the first half of the 2010s was like arrogantly comfortable in the perceived cultural gains of the Obama years and looking for every opportunity to apologize for the excesses of the lefter, more progressive fringe. People (especially those in power) refusing to call the Tea Party the fascist, revanchist movement that it was, etc.

I propose that what the letter X was to the late 90s, the letter i was to the 2000s. Everybody tried to copy Apple (badly) on the i-naming scheme. BMW named their infotainment iDrive, etc.
