vamos scorcho Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 anybody with me on this? I think back on the 90s and it all just seems like a bizarre dream. well, I was born in 1989, so for me it definitely was a bizarre dream. but i think, unique to the 90s, is that everyone might agree on that. the 00s actually may turn out to seem that way. the earth spins, the sun goes up and goes down, but the sun and the earth have nothing to do with day and night. those two things are a figment of our lives. and our lives are just totally fucking weird when you think about it. so i guess all decades will be equally strange. the only difference with the 90s is that I personally was there. but on a cosmic scale it's very significant. in my mind the 90s are truly a bizarre and frightening thing to think about. I watch these old Simpsons episodes and even those are strange. they seem to come from a different place. like all of humanity could be reduced to this moment, this episode from 199(1). and everyone was there. but nobody remembers.

baph Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 No. You just happened to grow up in the 90s, and remember your childhood as being more colorful than your drab present. We all do. Also, Milo and Otis is from the fucking 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all do. yeah, that's the truth. still, i think in 10-20 years i'll see the 00s as 'weird.' and i think that way of seeing the 00s will be more accurate than the view i had of the 00s while i was living inside the 00s. it's that collective insanity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murve33 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 The late 80's early 90's were really damn weird. At least television-wise. I always picture shit like this when I think of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EmwStAukP0 And really crude animation styles like Rocko's Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy and such. I also remember a lot of EXTREME LOUD TO THE MAX kids commercials for super soakers and hot wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
