The 90s

9/11 is so 90s.

Clothes-wise, far more embarassing than I thought possible.

Seriously - 26" leg openings on JNCOs, what the fuck were we thinking? And those were before the leg opening arms race got ridiculous and they started stitching dragon designs on the ass.

aww fond memories here too!

90% of the popular music from this decade is unlistenable. Rage Against The Machine holds up surprisingly well in comparison.

Liz Phair is really hot in her VH1 "I Love The '90s" spots

Remember how pissed off we all were at how far to the right Clinton went after '94? Oh, so naive.

90% of the popular music from this decade is unlistenable.

So patently false unless all you listened to was VH1.

I think after the end of the cold war and before 11/9, there was a certain sense of levity in popular culture, things weren't as "serious as your life". That would be my flawed, sweeping generalisation on the decade. ;)

sorry - popular rock music

I would sooner take an ice-pick to the ear than sit through a '90s Alt-Rock Nostalgia Hour

I don't detect much change from the mid-90s until today--yeah, obv. we have faster internet connections now and are fighting in Iraq rather than thinking about fighting in Bosnia--but the all-crisis-all-the-time-stuff stuff seems to begin with the 1st WTC bombing on to Waco and OJ and Rwanda and Haiti and Ruby Ridge and OK City and Newt and Rabin and Monica and Impeachment and Columbine and Elian Gonzales and Children of Thalidomide...

I once carried my math book to lunch in the back pocket of my JNCOs.

Clothes were way baggier, weren't they? I was really skinny until the age of about 19, so they were super-baggy on me. Even small T-shirts were loose, tight Ts were hard to find.

Authentic 90s nostalgia > pre-packaged 90s nostalgia. I'm rockist about nostalgia, you see.

Fine, there are different things in each of two decades but there's not as large a separation as you can find between the 90s and the 80s or the 80s and the 70s. There's not much to be nostalgic about (That 90s Show--Hey we were in Phoenix for the first Lollapollooza when Trent got mad cause his equipment fritzed in the heat and stormed off stage after one song and Perry and Dave Navarro got in a fight onstage!)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Captain.gif

Possessing a classically heroic, noble personality not unlike the one associated with characters such as Superman and He-Man, Captain Planet is formed by combining the powers of the rings of the five Planeteers, which represented the four Classical elements: Earth (wielded by Kwame), Fire (Wheeler), Wind (Linka), Water (Gi) - and the additional power of Heart (Ma-Ti). All of these people represented a major ethnicity and each one of them came from a different continent. Upon his formation, he proclaims, "By YOUR powers combined, I am Captain Planet!"

Captain Planet is the combined and magnified powers of all five of the Planeteers' rings, and stands for all that was good and environment-friendly. The Captain is sky-blue skinned, with a grass-green mullet and eyebrows. He wears red shorts, a half-shirt and gauntlets with matching red knee-high boots (his boots were missing in the first episode). His body is composed mainly of a crystal compound.

Captain Planet has a very impressive array of powers: he can fly, has great strength, the ability to blow hurricane force winds, telepathy, telekinesis, shapeshifting, matter transmutation, and virtually any other super-power required by the circumstances currently facing him, which, in fact was one of the criticisms against the show. Much like Superman and his kryptonite, however, Captain Planet also possesses weaknesses to pollution, radiation, toxic waste, smog, etc (In addition to Pollution, sheer hatred seems to weaken Captain Planet as well, as noted in the 6th Season Episode "A Good Bomb is Hard to Find" where Hitler's mere presence weakened him). The powers of the Planeteers' rings are also diminished by excessive pollution in the environment around them; as well as powerless when Captain Planet is made manifest. He, like Gaia, is also bound to the physical realm of Earth: while capable of flying into space, his powers -- and even his very existence -- begin to fade the further away he gets from the planet. Conversely, Captain Planet is often healed from the damage he sustains from pollution by absorbing solar energy. However, despite his abilities, even he knows that he cannot solve all the world's problems and that humans must change. Even if he were to clean up all the pollution on Earth, it would matter little if humans continued polluting.

Captain Planet is an ancient entity, who has served with Gaia for many centuries (possibly even longer). While his appearance and certain mannerisms are taken directly from the minds of the Planeteers, he is a sentient being, with his own will. He is also quite aware of current events, even those that occur when he is not active, as well as the modern world and even some knowledge of pop culture. His modern-day superhero attire and name seem to stem from the modern world, as even Gaia does not give his name in the beginning - he appears to actually name himself. Any previous names or forms were never revealed, however. Note that the story Gaia told of his being called in the 1940s just seemed to be that - a tale of fiction she used to entertain the Planeteers. A later meeting with the real Don Porkaloin gave no indication the story had been true.

Captain Planet generally does not get angry, let alone act out with intense violence. However, he may be capable of some degree of anger even if he never shows it. Especially in later seasons, his dealings with the Eco-Villains was a bit harsher, if not overly so (in No Place Like Home, instead of simply saving a drowning Doctor Blight, he opts to "sell" her a life raft for a small price - enough money to build low-cost housing for the homeless population of the city Gaia had become trapped in). Though his strength may force him to be overly cautious at times - he is strong enough to tear steel in half. He could easily injure or kill a human if he wanted to, but never would.

Though powerful, he has become depowered at least twice in the series. In one episode, when the powers of heart and earth could not return to their rings due to being in outer space; Captain Planet was re-formed with only those two rings, effectively leaving him with only the earth and heart abilities (wind is necessary to fly); this could be taken as meaning that Earth and Heart are the bare minimum requirements for his existence, with Earth representing his "body" and Heart representing his "soul". In another, when Gaia was taken from Hope Island and turned into a regular human, both Captain Planet and the rings lost their powers, leaving Captain Planet powerless and weak as a normal human. In this story, he was also forced to wear an old hat and coat taken from a dumpster to "blend in" while they searched for the missing Gaia.

sort of, but the oklahoma bombing didn't lead to two wars with foreign countries and america losing huge amounts of respect internationally.
i think there has definitely been a change in the tone and content of pop culture after 11/9 and iraq, but maybe not as much as after the fall of the berlin wall.

well, it was used as an excuse. i don't can't even decide whether it was an inside job or not. i think it was a far bigger deal internationally than oklahoma, nobody in the uk really talked about mcveigh even a week after it happened, it was seen as an isolated case.

it was the 90s and there was time for

LEDGE=KIND OF THE WORLD

I <3 everyone on this thread except the one or two peeps saying the 90s are no different from the 00's because shows follow same presmise, etc? Hello, missing the point that they don't look the same, etc.

ally mcbeal! good lord

Wish I could find a good picture of the awful striped denim that was popular when I was in early high school.

I actually kind of enjoy those Calvin Klein ads upthread. Some of them. A Warhol rip off to be sure, but...

i remember that, in the 90s, the 80s were considered the worst decade ever, and completely unrevivable. ha ha. good times.

every decade thinks that about the last one

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

a.v. club has this whole essay this week on how the 90s revival is finally beginning. i kinda wanna wait til this decade's over first.

I thought it began a few years ago, to be honest.

january 1st, 2000

i don't know i always thought "i love the 90s" was a terribly forced attempt at kick-starting a 90s revival that we weren't ready for yet

but fuck words

So far the only thing that really makes me go "wow, that was a different time" is the Windows 95 startup screen. Look at that thing!

I remember back in high school we had to print our own t-shirts, and a class mate of mine did one with the Windows 95 (which had just come out) logo and a "no" red circle on top of it. I asked what was the point of it, and he told me he was against Bill Gates's monopoly, and I was kinda confused, because I didn't know anything about computer politics.

Man, the Windows 95 startup screen used to scream "the future!" at me.

tuomas did you seriously just tell us a story about you once didn't understand something?

welcome to reality bub

Haha it's a shark!

the Alicia Silverstone Aerosmith vids are not as awesome as I remember. Or maybe I couldn't sit through Aerosmith long enough for them to get awesome.

They were awesome when both you and Alicia Silverstone were teenagers.

Though Steve Tyler putting his own fucking daughter in that one video for everyone to drool at was kinda eh?

Not so awesome when you're a bit younger than her and yr dad is v. obviously perving out on her.

Ew! I guess I was speaking from a teenage boy's mindset, I'm not sure if they were that awesome for (straight) girls.

Sixes either way, but the running dad commentary was what killed it. Why dad why must you be so obvious about these things? (He is now obsessed w/Lindsay Lohan.)

Er...

He is a 250 lb. man who looks like Saddam Hueseein. (sp?)

AND I HAD TO LIVE WITH HIM THROUGH THE ENTIRE '90s. 2001 I broke out, yay!

Thank god I don't share such things with my dad.

I'm not sure if they were that awesome for (straight) girls.
Well, they were awesome for me, in a vicarious 'looking hot while hanging over a bridge with a tongue ring' sort of way.

I don't actually know what any of you are talking about, and I was 14-24 in the '90s, you'd think I'd have noticed something in ten years.

Maybe you're just thrown off by the brit references?

I don't recognize anything except Seinfeld and that Mel Gibson in blue paint -- that was Braveheart, yes? For the rest, it is a mystery.

Laurel u are the jaymc of this thread :)

Wait I lied, I love Hackers like it was my own child.

Did you have the soundtrack??

Heavens, no -- secular music? In MY house? I'm sure I had to watch the movie at a sleep-over or something.

Ha ha. Thankfully I lived with just my mom then. My sisters and I were all obsessed with it and would dance around the house scantily clad while blasting it on the stereo.

This movie gets to the heart of the 1990s.

The Reese Witherspoon character is torn between the influence of Marky Mark (Urban Outfitters, Nine Inch Nails) and her parents (The Gap, Microsoft). The battleground for this fight between the culture and the commodified counterculture is, of course, Seattle.

Tory Party MP (Eastleigh), Stephen Milligan – Found dead in his flat in February 1994, during the wholesome, traditional family values Conservative Government of John `Back to Basics` Major. Milligan was discovered tied to a chair, naked except for stockings and suspenders, with a plastic bag over his head and an orange stuffed into his mouth. He was believed to have accidentally asphyxiated, whilst pleasuring himself during some kind of grotesque solo bondage and self-strangulation sex act

DERIC YOU HAVE BEEN WINNING THIS THREAD SINCE IT BEGAN

<3<3<3<3<3<3

I ACTUALLY GOT YOU MIXED UP WITH REVEREND, BUT THIS LATEST STREAK WAS REALLY GOOD TOO

One of the defining things about the nineties for me was that it felt like you could actually pick and choose social issues to take up, instead of feeling like you were under imminent threat of terrorist attack, dumbshit war started by your own government, end-of-civil-liberties, global warming etc.

That might have just been a function of being a teenager/college student though

Hurting otm. Also: Silk's <i>Freak Me</i>.

Thanks, roxy. I didn't just live in the 90s...I lived in the 90s. Or, rather, I absorbed a lot of pop culture in the 90s.

Yeah, my general (and seemingly completely uncritical) pop cultural immersion seems to have stopped around '93. I don't really have a clear sense of the 90s zeitgeist past that point.

See, I remember during the nineties and everyone thought the seventies was so cool and that the eighties was the decade that fashion forgot, but now everyone is all eighties eighties eighties, so my theory is that retro skips a decade and I'm warming up for a nineties love in come 2010.

That's why Grease and Happy Days were staples of the 1970s.
