Loved X-Files, Beavis and Butthead (most of Adult Swim) sports stuff. Never really got in to Friends, Seinfeld, ER, NYPD Blue, etc in the 90s. I was working in retail management and often at work on weeknights. I did watch the last couple seasons of ER and Friends. Wife liked those shows when we started dating and I was retired from fucking retail hell..

90's appreciation thrad

This thread is fantastic. 90’s crushed it, but like someone said, I was young ( except for you old or super young fucks [emoji23] ) the appreciation is definitely age related. But what a time to go from high school to college, explore, figure shit out, see amazing music and bands that haven’t blown up yet ( I wonder how many of us have unknowingly shared joints at shows), meet girls, party, try lots of different drugs, figure out what booze/beer you liked and your limits, just how to be yourself really. all of it. So good

And it wasn't just beep beep beep with a callback number. Folks had a whole different alphanumeric 9 digit language while using them.. Like if it was your wife and important it just said 911 911 911 or something like that..

Ha! All our parents in town gave their kids pagers so they could “keep tabs on them”. That failed spectacularly, and we just used them as a way to talk to each other without blowing up your friends’ home landlines.

Ah, the old Nokia brick. That thing was indestructible.

I was probably the first of my friends to have a cell phone in ‘95-96 because the aforementioned pager system failed. And my Dad had a bunch of Motorola Star-Tacs at his disposal. At first I thought it was so cool, little did I know I’d one day come to despise the electronic leashes.

Pagers were god's way of telling you where to get your drugs from.

In the 90s, our girls rocked the super low-rise jeans, thong undies, and midriffs. Now the young girls wear freaking mom jeans. 90s > 2020s

Bummer you quit music like 40 years ago cuz you've missed out on a LOT of really great stuff my man.

As far as 'kids and their crazy music these days,' there actually is a ton of great stuff still coming out these days. Once we got past the worst of freaking dubstep and mumble rap, we've turned a corner and things are doing a bit better IMO. Haha. Also been seeing a serious resurgence of teens I know actually really getting into 70s-90s music. Big time. Makes me happy to see that. Not all hope is lost after all! ^_^

Haha. Totally. That said, my wife recently unburied her old low rise jeans from HS (she totally still fits in them!) and she's been rocking them lately. "Schwing!!!" (Sorry. No pics, fellas)

Yeah. Those are still WAY better than the mom jeans trend*. Even if worn by an actual mom.

*Disclaimer: must actually have tight, good body to pull off. Thus why they don't have mass appeal to all the young chubsters of today.

And speaking of schwing, let us not forget the wonderful era that was the 90s SNL cast and all the ensuing comedies. Dana Carvey, Mike Meyers, Chris Farley, David Spade, Will Ferrel, Chris Kattsn, Molly Shannon, Phil Hartman, Adam Sandler, Tim Meadows, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, Jimmy Fallon, Cheri Oteri, Kevin Nealon, Al Franken, Dennis Miller, Jim Breuer, the list goes on and on and on...

I kinda wish Fresh off the Boat had had a longer run. I kinda missed the 90s.. That show was spot on the same way The Goldbergs nails the 80s..

This thread really blew up, I haven't read through it all yet. Have we covered how much better than the '90s the '80s were?

Did someone say Twin Peaks? That and Northern Exposure are '90's AF.

You mixed a few of the 00s cast in there, but yeah, 90s SNL was peak with Spade, Farley, Hartman, Sandler, McDonald, Miller, Nealon, Schneider et al.

THIS.. My job sucked in the 90s, I only went skiing like 5 times, wasn't getting laid much and stuck living with my parents millennial style, and generally depressed. Grad school was worth it though.. Made the 00s and beyond much better..

IMO - Whatever years kids were age 10 to 18 will be the best years of your life and define you.

Doesn’t matter the generation.

Think of the music of the 60’s and 70’s.

So THAT explains why some here are jamming out to Maple Leaf Rag on their wind-up Victrolas.

No way, the 30's are the best years. Old enough to have things figured out, and young enough to take advantage of it. I'll take the 30's over the teen years any day.

Bummer you quit using your brain like 30 years ago cuz you missed out on a lot of reality. How you decided I quit music is one of the many mysteries I will just chalk up to you being from Texas.

30’s were fun. But also included a job, bills, girls wanting babies, rent, “what are you doing with your life?”

Teens = invincible with zero fucks given.

Who was the chick from Northern Exposure (which was a funny show)? I remember seeing her in my buddy’s dad’s Playboy that he snagged out of their garage.

Lol. Ok. Perhaps "quit music" may have been a bit harsh, but you apparently stopped paying attention by AC/DC and don't think you've missed out on anything since then.

Lemme guess. You probably rock out to "The Eagle" 104.7 FM on the job site.
