Speaking of the 90's

Let take a look back at this great decade.

The first MP3 player was created in the 90's called the MPMan F10. It didn't go over so well but as you can see today Mp3 players are extremely popular. Just recently iTunes had surpassed Best Buy in music market share.

Pagers, or sometimes called a beepers, were all the rage. You know you had one and you would sneek it into school like the bad ass you are. As if someone is going to need to contact you at school. Everyone knows where you are at. Now all of the kiddies have their blue tooth cellphones with text messaging. BFFL <33

The Internet. Chat rooms were all the craze back then. I remember logging on all the time back in high school. Sad...really sad.

The Seattle Sound, grunge was in and glam was out. Alice in Chains, Sound Garden, Nirvana, and Pearl Jam. Everyone musician flocked to Seattle with their flannel shirts in hope to make it big. Now the "Hip Hop" has taken its place and that makes me cry.

The Real World rocks your world on MTV and you couldn't get enough of it. Now MTV plays shitty reality TV 24 hours a day and now you wonder what happened to the 'Music' in TV. Reality TV killed the Music Video star.

Extreme sports! EXTREME!!! Thanks to Dan Cortese of MTV sports viewers were introduced to the most extreme sports which are now tamer than some Disneyland rides. Snowboarding EXTREME! Rugby EXTREME! Bungee jumping EXTREME! Rock climbing SUPER EXTREME!!11one

Sagging...don't know what sagging is? Sagging is a style worn by teenage and young men in which their shorts, jeans or pants are worn low, usually below their hips and sometimes under their buttocks as well depending on the sagger. Just head down to you local mall and you can see this in action.

With the birth of Goth/Industrial bands such as Nine Inch Nails & Marilyn Manson, black came back. Black painted finger nails, black hair, black baggy wide JNCO pants, piercing, and a Teletubbies t-shirt. You HAD to express how 'different' you were even though another 50 people in your class wore the same fashion.

I'm proud to report some of the best cartoons came out of the 90's. The Simpson’s (89'), Beavis and Butthead, South Park, King of the Hill and Family Guy (99'). 4 out of those 5 are still on the air with new episodes today.
