It's the 90s

Is this an "in Soviet Russia" gag?

This phrase dates back to at least the 1920s. Today we usually say '21st century' instead of the decade.

I think everyone was just happy the 80s were over and trying to put as much clear blue water between themselves and that decade as possible. There's a lot less optimism around these days as well, that may well be a big factor.

But yes, we do say 'its the 21st Century' but it sort of lacks the smugness of 'It's the 90s'.

this thread is 'mad for it'

Needs more chilled beats.

I totally remember it being something smug. Like we were punk kids and the teacher would say something old fashioned and we'd be like, "huh huh get with the times, it's the 90s!" It seems so friggin strange now in our shutdown, paranoid, backwards looking society.

This is also inspired by watching Married with Children right now. Thanks unemployment checks.

we still say "it's the 90s" for lack of a better way to say it.

We also say IT IS THE 90s AND THERE IS TIME FOR BURT STANTON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

I go outside, it's not so bad
I see my friend, he couldn't believe that
The girls are holding hands
The girls are holding hands
Don't be a fool
It's 1995, the girls are just friends

in Soviet russia, marriage gives up on U

Let me tell you something, this is the 1990's, alright? In this day and age a man has to have choices, a man has to have a little bit of variety.

i guess you could say i'm a 90s kinda guy. i like to live life to the fullest and i'm not going to let athlete's foot slow me down. tough actin' tenactin!

dance to the beat that we love best
heading for the nineties
living in the wild wild west

where is that giddiness as we approach the 2010s?

And why do plotlines of 70s era movies start to spiral out of control on 12/31/79? (Boogie Nights, 54, etc.)

Imagine all the excitement that went into imagining the new millennium ... and then realize how it's turned out so far.

There's a bit in Karate Kid where Daniel lets his girl drive, saying, 'hey, it's the 80s!'. This used to amuse me no end in the 90s.

Also there were t-shirts that changed colour in the heat - it was like Back To The Future 2 come early!

And why do plotlines of 70s disco era movies start to spiral out of control on 12/31/79?

Green: "I think it's really important to buy condoms because it's the '90s, and sexually transmitted diseases ... "

Female bystander: "How about trying abstinence?"

Green: "Abstinence? Do you wear that? Is that like a jockey strap?"

haha

Heavens, Pleasant Plains, I can't believe someone (who is not me) has actually made a reference to THE ESCAPE CLUB.

I bought that 7" in 1988.

It was the 80s.

Hyper-color tshirts!
