Just a reminder that the '90's cover the sixteen-year period from '87 to '03, not including 911, a fact we all agree to.
-
The 90s may not be the greatest decade ever, but everything post-911 is absolute garbage.
-
Reiterating it doesn't hurt, since we all agree to it. It's the litany of the '90s.

Osama's biggest crime was ending the 90's

Yes the 90s were the best
Honorable mentions for us dutchies:
https://youtu.be/1UKQVlOxgO4 (a dutch/german/japanese co-created anime) Actually one of the best animes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmnkg69pOR4 (ok this is actually from the 80's but if you grew up in the 90's this shit was on tv)
https://youtu.be/v-ayGu0PYJA (same for this, actually from the 80's but aired in the 90's)
Genius shit

Videogames yes. Hiphop and anime, okay.
All the other music though, trash. Horrendous decade for movies with shitty CG and/or outdated edginess. Friends. The rise of the Jerry Springer format. So much dumb shit I'm now nostalgic for and I wish I wasn't.
-
Just listen to those tunes though, sure some cartoon intro songs were stinkers but most of them were fucking great
Ofcourse its almost not fair basing it on such a great japanese song

EDM was also nuts in the 90s
-
The cambrian explosion of electronic music - so many genres still popular today got their start then, and it really started becoming popular worldwide during this time period.
But the progression of gaming... we started with NES platformers and super early 16 bit games... ended up with fully interactive 3D worlds (i.e. Shennue)

I was born in '89 the year the wall fell. Whenever I think of the 90's, the year 1997 springs to mind. The year my LEGO collection really started to grow. When I look at that years catalogue I ended up getting so many of the sets.
I just looked it up on the internet and that catalogue is still ingrained into my mind. And at the end of the year I was the winner of the LEGO lottery or whatever it was and won the octan race truck and got another set for free (I would go on to win 2nd place in 1998 (I won the big Egyptian Indiana Jones temple), and first place again in 1999 (Rockraiders the video game, which was sorta crap but eh it was free).
(https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/6335-1.jpg)
While I got a shit ton of LEGO our new neighbours moved in and he had tons of cool shit as well, Action Man, MegaDrive, the works.
Around that time my older brother moved into PC gaming so I got his NES which I played more on than he did at that point anyway but also got to experience those amazing PC games for the first time.
Man, what an incredible year, followed by one of the most difficult, which is why I remember it so well and 1996 for example is mostly just a blur.
1998 started out fine as well. I got my own pet (guinea pig) in the spring as I just loved animals but our cat was bigger buddies with my brother.
Every morning he would wake up at 8 AM to make one hell of a noise and kick all the wood fibers out of his cage. We ended up trying all the brands and the result was always the same.
We gave up and bought a small vacuum cleaner and put it next to his cage, so we could immediatly clean up the mess he made. :lol
A few months later disaster struck. Around the summer I was diagnosed with asthma and a pretty bad case of it too. As a kid I was terrified because I couldn't breathe at all. They gave me oxygen at the hospital but it was clear it was a severe case.
The following months I had to take like 12 or 14 pills each and every day. And use inhalers to stop the attacks. For two weeks straight I had to throw up every night to the point that I was afraid to sleep worried that I might not wake up the next day.
But during the first week of that ordeal on 'a good day' when I didn't get car sick my dad took a quick detour to the toy shop 10 minutes before they closed and said I could take home a racing track.
Because healthcare was public back then a civil servant visited our home to inspect and find out what might possibly trigger the asthma. We had to remove the items with no 'sentimental value' such as carpets, fabrics etc. .
My dad spend quite some time to replace our flooring and I got new furniture in my room as well. Next I remember taking my pet to the animal shelter with my parents and I was absolutely devastated that the guinea pig had to go.
I didn't want to but they said I'd be sorry for the rest of my life if I didn't went along to say goodbye to "Pinchy". As soon as we got there the girl at the desk just fell in love with him as he was the cutest guinea pig in all of history.
We later learned that she took it home with her that day. I couldn't have wished for a better home for Pinchy but I cried all day. At age 9 I realized this disease would haunt me for the rest of my life.

Nintex, don't ruin the '90s posthumously with a long ass post. You can bullet point 'Got Lego, didn't stop breathing.
-
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kind of kicked off the 90s in a way and kind of defined them too.
-
mental that within six weeks of each other starting in august '91, the black album, ten, use your illusion i/ii, badmotorfinger, nevermind and blood sugar sex magic all came out.

I turned 14 in 1991. It was an amazing time to really start getting into rock and metal music.
Sepultura released Arise that year too.
1994 was still the best year of the decade for music though.
Actually, every year from 1990-1995 was mind blowing.

Spending the 90's just playing vidya and watching cartoons and anime, I thought it couldn't get any better. And I was right.

Fresh Prince
Living Single
Martin
Family Matters
Moesha
The Jamie Foxx Show
They were also the best time for black sitcoms. It's been downhill ever since.
-
Kinda crazy that the 90s gave us the only two good black comic characters in all of comics too, Spawn and Static.

The 90's also had the WGN/WB stuff like Wayans Bros. and though I didn't really watch them they also had shows like The Parent Hood, Sister/Sister, Steve Harvey, etc. that were all helmed by blacks and ran for five years or so.
Though in general, and this was arguably the genesis of our Sitcom Tournament, the 90's were a boom time for sitcoms that were premised around "standup comedian/falling star/some kid now has a show" and that was all it took to get greenlit and become a hit.
This isn't inherently a complaint!
-
Don't forget about Kenan & Kel.
-
i grew up in one of the whitest parts of the country and i spent a significant percentage of my childhood watching black sitcoms with no idea that they were "black sitcoms". i doubt it's the same for kids growing up now who will be acutely aware of that fact.
not sure if that's a good thing.

I loved Martin, Wayan Bros and Fresh Prince TV shows

I used to watch the first 4 pretty regularly - as well as Hangin With Mr Cooper, Bernie Mac (which I think was more of an early 2000s?), Sister Sister, My Brother And Me, and Sinbad... it was a great time for black sitcoms and I felt it was a bit less segregated in terms of viewership than later - like all us whiteys from the burbs watched these shows and they'd usually be on a block in between white-ass shows like Grace Under Fire and Caroline in the City.
Vaguely remember Moesha but don't think I've ever seen it, that was the one with Brandy right?

Or included in the TGIF block with shows like Boy Meets World, Step by Step, and Full House.
Yeah, Moesha was Brandy's show.

Sepultura was on fire in the 90s with Arise, Chaos AD, and Roots.
I was a DJ in college in a tiny school in Iowa, but I got to meet quite a few metal bands back then because I managed to find the email addresses for labels like Metal Blade, RoadRunner, Nuclear Blast, etc. I went on Sepultura's tour bus and hung out with them while the singer from Clutch was doing his laundry.

I think I watched pretty much every sitcom in the 90s, and Homeboys in Outerspace was up there with that Married With Children knockoff with Nikki Cox.
Anyway speaking of looking for things FOREVER
One of my 90s favourites that I stumbled upon was this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9kwUMFQURg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZ1iisOJfmE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_(TV_Series)
The central plot concerned the murder of "Big" Jim Atkinson (Adam West), the president and founder of the chain of gyms, by poisoning in the first episode. His son Kent, a former alcoholic and drug addict, was determined to figure out who the killer was and bring him or her to justice. His original suspect was his stepmother and the new president of the company, Jane Atkinson.
It was basically a spoof of daytime soaps, and the first time I saw Alan Ruck and Michael Boatman together (pre Spin City)
IF ANYONE CAN FIND THE FULL SERIES OF THIS SHOW I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER
