Wow that's weird! I am really not that much older than you, I was born in January 1990, so technically we were born in the same decade, but I can remember most of the 90s whereas you probably at best have one memory of 1999. Does watching videos from the 90s feel surreal/like another world to you? Cuz I remember, it really wasn't that different. Very Happy

You must all know 2004 was the best year, the real golden year.

Very Happy

2012:
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Adele, Black Veil Brides.

1992:
Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pantera, Rage Against the Machine.

Do the math, 2012 is sh*t.

People who miss the 90's are more likely adults who are in their 30's and 20's who were kids and teens in the 90's. I miss old school nickelodeon and old school Disney and the kid shows were great and the toys were better, I remember the days where gas prices were low and costs were cheaper then. Do I miss the 90's? Maybe.

Plus music these days seem to suck I can't stand it. But that doesn't mean I can't go online and listen to music from the 90's or can't watch old TV shows from the 90's thanks to netflix and internet. Plus you can listen to the radio station that plays music from 12-22 years ago. I think it's memories people have that makes them feel they miss the 90's.

I guess that I'm the exception here. I'm more nostalgic about the 80s. I couldn't wait to get out of high school so I could ignore all the trends of the 90s.

There are a couple of things that I like about the 90s. Austin Powers and the Internet, so I guess that they were okay. Smile

Oh, what about the days when it cost £2/hr to surf the web at the library. When yahoo and netscape was bread and butter. these days it doesn't take a week be fully set up with a PC. You don't get the pleasure of shouting "is anyone expecting a phonecall? I'm going on the internet for an hour" It sounds so prehistoric yet unbelievably recent - and it made small things so exciting.

I'm glad to have been active in a time when the music industry actually made money and you didn't need to win a televised singing competition to get signed - instead just look pretty and play in the right place at the right time (poor spelling of London, Fri/Sat). what happened smoking on the train?!! terminator 2 for the first time round anyone?

And most of all.......

Actually, I haven't been exposed to the bands popular in the 90s. I barely even know the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
Sucks for me for growing up in other countries...

1992 - Oasis exists
2012 - No Oasis

Seriously though, it was a good time to grow up in, and I'm glad my 'embarrassing teenage phase' was Britpop, and not something else.

I'm lucky enough to remember Ian McCulloch's cover of 'Lover Lover Lover' from that time...
