90s Culture Appreciation vol. Intro

[sooperhooper]

Man the 90s were so great. Can't even begin to outline the greatness.
Things started falling off noticeably around 99 honestly.
I'm so damn grateful that we had cable.

Born in ´84. Best years of my life were growing up in the 90´s

Not having as much access and having that anticipation and excitement of seeing something fresh. Kinda miss that.

 

[hand2handking]

ah this is the thread for martin reboot news

 

[DB Cooper]

Going to the Arcade at your local mall. One of the malls nearby me still has one. It’s mostly pinball machines and other games where you win tickets to purchase prizes.

Preach man.

Appointment TV also was a big part of life that I sometimes miss. Binge watching has really crushed the water cooler talk around Summer/Winter Olympics

I have been thinking about this ad for a while, so I decided to do some Googling. Came across this. Does anyone remember this product and/or ad?

Okay, so in the early to mid 90's, Nickelodeon used to run a commercial for a children's record set (they didn't produce the ad, they just ran it).

It was one of thosE "50 favorite kdis songs" type things, and the two songs I remember being on it were "Teddy Bear Picnic" and "Puff The Magic Dragon". An animation would play onscreen for a bit whille the song(s) played.

I remember because they played clips from those two songs back to back and the commercial aired a LOT so it ended up being engraved into my memory which is why I'm remembering it right now!

Can anyone find this commercial for the record set on YouTube? I don't suppose anyone knows the name of the record(s)?

Better is a word I won't use, but musically, I enjoy the 80s more than any other era by far.

Probably a reflection of you growing up vs. The quality of life actually dropping off.

Things matter more when we are kids.
Things are more impressive when we are kids.

Man I had no idea what you were talking about, until I saw them coming around that mountain and the plate of spaghetti. I remember HATING that commercial.

90s was a great time.

Loved collecting the Marvel Comics trading cards.

I don’t care for the eighties. It’s like we could foresee the technology and stuff but none of it existed so the eighties were kind of imitating what was to come. Things were kind of unfolding during the nineties and we had a mix of the exciting new and the last of the go,den era at the same time. Great time to experience

 

[tr1ll]

I kinda wish I could've lived in the 80s in my late teen early 20s. Seems like it would've been fun af(as long as I didn't try crack).

 

[DCAllAfrican]

With a name like Trill, I am pretty sure crack would have been on your radar in the 80s. Hands down

 

[jape]

mid 60's - 70's music >

 

[tr1ll]

To sell. I probably would've been all about it once I seen someone pull up in that Saab with the gold bbs.

I know I have the luxury of hindsight, but I just can't see someone walking up to me saying, "They got this new **** called CRACK. You should try it.." and me being down with it.

 

[classic94]

80s had better music better movies better tv shows better fashion 90s had terrible fashion

 

[The Fresh Prince]

No doubt. It spawned Pac's best song in "Pain".

You already know. "Pain" is my favorite 2Pac song of all time.
