Reflecting on.....the Nineties
I never remembered much of the 80's really. My friend Rob does, and he says he has a lot of pop culture information and information in general on what happened in the 80's but me personally I do not. The fact being, I can relate more to the 90's where I was more concious of my surroundings than the 80's where I was still a child.
It's just recently that I read a business magazine that used the term "the 90's" that we are well into the smack dab middle of the 2000 and that the 90's were last decade. And when I look to define it, it is somewhat hard. So much shit has gone through it, in terms of music, movies, comedy, tragedy etc. For music I felt it was apparently a pretty good decade only to be followed up with the inevitiable teeny bop era burn out near the end. Why did this come about? Economics baby. i mean fuck teens had money to spend and comps wanted it and the teeny bop era fed that craving.
I felt that the alternative music era was a great revival of rock in general and no matter how shitty some of the bands were, it was definately better than most of the shit that is coming out now (but thanks to bands like Coldplay and Sam Roberts, it makes me believe in music once again). i dont' remember many movies, because they've became more a part of me to associate with than a part of a decade to associate with.
Life in general was tulmultious and simple until the internet and now all this shit occupys my time. When i get back to school internet is out of my life doods, at least in my home. We all saw a war on TV and a changing of the guard for classic 80's shows to go into other shows. We saw a surge of new TV channels and made me think how could I live without those extra channels? But most importantly I remember that life was Ok I'll just shut the fuck up now.
