Title: Whoa, the 90's!
Post by: SlickEric on January 02, 2008, 09:56:57 AM
I know there was a thread about the 80's.
So I thought I start the New Year off with a thread about the 90's,
for all our young dudes here at the SBG.
What are the things you fondly remember or want to forget?

I'll initiate this thread by asking you to
identify this former 90's mop head who is now a SLY brutha.

Sir Joey Lawrence of "Blossom" and "Give me a Break" fame...

Very cool though, once he shaved his head slick and clean he seemed to get a LOT of work and notice from going SLY!

Billy Zane should take note...and shave his head clean again...maybe his career would come back !

THE 90s was a good decade 4 me.  i remember us talking about the "embarrassing but funny" fashion in the 80's thread such as the parchute pants, OP gear, and members only jacket.  i was wondering if u were guilty of "tight" rolling the bottom of your jeans.  i'll admit that i did the "tight" roll thingy.   :D  how 'bout u?  i know that i'm not the only one.

The good 'ol Commodore 64! 

I met Gina Lee at a Celebrity and Model Volleyball tournament when I was in college.  Sooo hot!  Also used to see Pam Anderson about once a week- three words - nasty without makeup.  They filmed Baywatch right down the street from the university I attended.   Used to see the Hoff.

I graduated from high school in 1994, the 90's were quite good to me, i lived in Germany from 1994 to 1996, i watched a bunch of movies at the movie theatre when i had free time, i watched about 300 movies the whole time i lived in germany, i also liked the music, the hip/hop and the alternative rock, i actually listen to all types of music, the only music i dont listen to is ccountry/western.
The fashion was a lot better than the 80's. i do consider myself an 80's kid, i was born in 1976

the 90's were great, I was young, dumb and full of... coming into my own and really getting to know myself. The dichotomy of being in a fairly popular band and having tons of fun and being faced with MPB at a young age... I grew up in so many ways in the 90's.

Now I am able to reap the benefits of those years.

The new millennium has been great as well but the good times are far more refined, quality not quantity type of thing.

I knew after about 3 months of dating my wife.  Met her in august of 90, engaged 1 week before Christmas, married in 92....yes we had a long engagement...but wasnt because of doubts....schooling and getting established was priority.   Then....13 months later...I was a daddy.

I know there was a thread about the 80's.
So I thought I start the New Year off with a thread about the 90's,
for all our young dudes here at the SBG.
What are the things you fondly remember or want to forget?

I'll initiate this thread by asking you to
identify this former 90's mop head who is now a SLY brutha.

I met my wife in January of 1991.  Started dating in June 1991.  Engaged by February 1992 and married in August 1992.  Didn't have a long engagement.  I was almost 30, and knew what I was looking for.
Title: Re: Whoa, the 90's!
Post by: GASlick on January 04, 2008, 07:49:06 AM
A lot of August '92 weddings.  We dated one year, got engaged July 1991 and married Aug 22, '92.  We were going to go to the Keys, but she didn't want to go to South Florida in August.  So we went to Ashville, NC.
And of course Andrew went through that weekend.  I was only 21.
The 90s were a blur for me.  All you young sly guys out there.........it goes by REALLY FAST!  Pretty soon, you look around and realize that there is a group of people out there that you can't relate to, their clothes look weird and you can't understand what they're thinking and why they do what they do.....then you realize they are YOUNGER than you!!!!!

Enjoy life one day at a time.  That's what I try to do and it pays off.

It happened to me.  I tell my wife that I'm a 21 yr old trapped in a 37 yr old body.  I still like to do all that crazy stuff that younger people do.  I've threatened to get my ears pierced....she reminds me that I'm almost 40.  My 15 yr old nephew got Guitar Hero for Chirstmas and I love it.  Now I want to buy a PS2. 

My wife keeps me on an even keel. (she tries anyway)  People are shocked that I have tattoos. Someone told me one time...."I can't believe you have tattoos.  You look so Republican."  What is THAT supposed to mean?!  LOL

You should have seen the look on their face when I told them that I have been known to drink vodka right out of the bottle!  I like to do and say things that get peoples attention and see what response I get.  It's fun.

I guess the point is I may grow older but I refuse to grow up!

I can't say that I've noticed people with weird clothes -- with the exception of those that wear really baggy jeans and I haven't even seen that much lately -- or that I'm totally unable to relate to.  I can see how the very old and the very young might be unable to relate to each other, but I don't see this huge gulf between myself and people who are a few years younger.  Do you?

OK, you just proved my point.  If you're a 21-year-old in a 37-year-old body, then you shouldn't feel that you can't relate to the 21-year-olds or that they dress strangely, right?

I guess there are two parts of it.  I like some of the "younger" things but at the same time I find myself listening to the classic rock station and couldn't tell you a "hot" band or group right now to save my life.

I think I got off topic a little bit.  In the 90s I was in the up and coming generation, then suddenly people that drive and are in high school are calling me Sir.  All I'm saying is, it happens fast and the 90s were gone in a flash.

I believe the media and clothing brands try to make people feel "old" at 25. Virtually all products these days are squarely aimed at the 14-24 year old age bracket. Hell I am 27 and I work in a call centre, most of my co-workers are late teens or early 20's with the exception of management.

Frankly I dont give a rats ass. Like GAslick said, I feel young at heart so I will do things that I enjoy, even though these things may not be suitable to someone my age.

The one time I really tend to notice the 18 to 20 year olds is when I'm at the supermarket, because they are usually the ones manning the cash register.  There's one place in particular, where I always leave feeling irritated because they always ask if I need help carrying my groceries to my car, even if the only thing I bought was a half-gallon of milk!   What am I, 99 years old?  Obviously, they've been instructed to make this offer of assistance to everyone, but come on!   :/O   One of these days I'm going to respond that I'm not so old and decrepit that I can't manage to carry a half-gallon of milk by myself.   :Xo!

Then they'll ask each other, "what was with that cranky old dude?"   :P

I believe the media and clothing brands try to make people feel "old" at 25. Virtually all products these days are squarely aimed at the 14-24 year old age bracket. Hell I am 27 and I work in a call centre, most of my co-workers are late teens or early 20's with the exception of management.


I have always been the youngest person in any office that I've worked in.  I would have thought that would have changed by this stage of the game, but I'm still the youngest (though barely) and I remind them of it every chance I get.   >:D

Most of my friends are at least a year older than me as well -- just the way things worked out, so I'm kind of used to being the youngest person in the group.   One night a few months ago, I was at a bar with my one friend, and he remarked that he felt old because of the crowd we were in, which was mostly college age.  I hadn't even noticed.  In my mind, I just think of myself as slightly older than college-age people, though in reality the age difference is more than "slight".   And I'm sure they look at me and think I'm a dinosaur.   ;D  I just haven't reached the stage yet where I see people younger than me and think of them as kids -- though I did take my dog to the vet last week and was attended to by what looked like the veterinary equivalent of Doogie Howser.   :(

Probably.  But I do think asking somebody who is getting around without any difficulties if they need help to carry a single small item is as stupid as when establishments card people who are obviously in their 50s and above.   ;D

At the moment everybody is all nostalgic about the 80's.
You want to know why nobody gives a **** about the 90s?

The Fluro Tracksuit
They were bright enough to make you go temporally blind and you could here the sound of someone wearing these track suits 500 meters away e.g. Swish … swish … swish … swish.  

Batman Forever and Batman & Robin
Big Name Actors doesn’t = Good Movie. That’s all I have to say on why I don’t miss these two movies of the 90's

The Mullet
Let’s face it we all don’t miss the mullet but back in the 90's it was the fashion. today there are still some people who think the fashion will come back those people are most likely the ones living on the streets asking you for a dollar every time you walk by them.

Pokemon
came out in 1996 and hung around for ages probably still is around. The reason I don’t miss this from pokemon the 90s is that well clearly it was gay I mean as if there wasn’t some interspecies erotica going on between Ash and Pikachu maybe even that misty chick joined in to. I also think the show encouraged greed and cruelty to animals or pokemon or wtf ever I mean the motto is "gotta catch em all" so I can put them into my little red balls and throw them at people.

The Saying "Party like it's 1999!"
The thing was, in 1999 the party wasn't much bigger than it had been any other year. it was exactly the same. The only thing that was different was people were freaking out about Y2K, so to party like its 1999 means you're gonna party all the same, but have a slight fear of the world ending.

Korn Having Hits
Freak On a Leash. That other one. Badly spelled bands names were all the rage. Korn were king with video clips of slow mo bullets and cartoon girls and being all cool and edgy.
What made Korn worse is my friends played Korn constantly. My friends LOVED Korn. They were fourteen. They played Mario on the 64 and listened to Korn. Yeah, that’s Hardcore.


South Park Quotes
When South Park was big. IE: What Family Guy is now. You couldn’t last an hour, let alone a day, without some lame loser quoting something completely out of context and thinking it was hilarious.

Peter Luck
Peter Luck. Good ol’ Peter “Fill In On Today Tonight Over The Summer” Luck. My favourite thing about Peter Luck. He used to host ‘Where Are They Now?’

Where is he now? Good question. Nowhere. The 90s ended, and so did he.


Being Younger Than 15
Remember when you are young and you said "man I wish I was older so I could...." well I'm living the dream!
