What do you remember about the 90's?

[-Doug-]

I remember the music.  Bands like Nirvana, Candlebox, Matchbox 20, Korn, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw and several other country stars.

Swing bands were HUGE for a couple years in the middle of all that other music you mentioned!

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Squirrel Nut Zippers to name a few..

Like some of you guys, it was meeting and marrying my wife, kids, house, etc... all a blur to me now.  I do remember that other than jazz, I didn't like much of the music.  I like more of the 80's or earlier music, and currently like Big Band & Sinatra style music.  I think I'm becoming my dad.

The 90's were when I started my nomadic lifestyle and they were a blast, I don't remember alot, they were just a big blur of new places and new faces, but I do remember it was way to fun.

Other things I remember
1. Monica Lewinsky pretending to be a humidor and Billary Clinton denying it.
2. OJ
3. Rodney King
4. Discovering an appreciation for MILF's
5. Discovering that I liked Vodka
6. The Oakland Hills firestorm

Me too, except for the vodka and the Oakland Hills firestorm.

Swing was more of a West Coast thing. I'm surprised that no one mentioned the former Stray Cat, Brian Setzer. He was part of the most successful swing group of the 90's. Does anyone remember "The House Is Rockin' and "Jump Jive An' Wail"?

What about Soundgarden's Outshined, Stone Temple Pilots Plush, Nirvana's Come As You Are, Pearl Jam's Better Man, Smashing Pumpkins 1979, Radiohead's Creep, Tonic's If You Could See? 

To me the 90's also mean wearing my Gazelle shades, Kangols and watching "old-school" Nickelodeon TV Shows.

Some advice for Stew: You say you're turning into to your father. Watch a Shakira video. That should jump start you right back into the new millenium. OK, the Rat Pack was way cool way back in the prehistoric 60's. Seriously I don't mind listening to Sinatra, Sammy or Dean from time to time either!
