The 90s thread

[Papa G]

And elevating every adult to the point they are worthy of a title isn’t that good I reckon.

What have we gotten from forcing kids to bow and scrape to their elders? A string of royal commissions into abuse.

You don't see the irony with your username?

I’m glad you picked up on it, Papa.

Back in the 70’s and 80’s Canberra only had the ABC and CTC which was generally c10 with some shows from the other networks. I think it wasn’t until the early 80’s (perhaps 81 or 82) that we got SBS.

 

[CURVE]

Lol. Some of the "rules" parents had back then. You and I are about the same vintage and I reckon our generation was brought up with the last vestiges of the old sensibilities. When I was a kid all my friends parents were referred to Mr or Mrs. Now kids call their teachers by their first name.

I’m 48 and I still use Mr or Mrs when I first meet someone from an earlier generation. It called being polite.

I forgot that when you left the city, it was very few stations.
Even 10 was a later starter in Melbourne I think then SBS

We went to Phillip Island for holidays and the house still had gas lighting (early 70s) ???
No power or TV

I stayed in the Strzelecki Ranges in the 80s and there was no power or TV or even radio signal

I remember listening to the last quarter of the 89 GF on an AM radio that kept fading in and out at Coopers Creek in Burke and Wills country. How those dozy pricks managed to die out there is still a mystery to me.

 

[Plugger35]

We didn't get Ch10 in Perth until 1988, up until then we just had the ABC, Ch7 and Ch9.

Never understood what Mr or Mrs has to do with respect anyway.

Imo “fu** off mr Smith” is just as disrespectful as “fu** off Robert”. I don’t think adding the Mr makes it more respectful, works the other way too.

What have you got against Robert Smith? The Cure are ten times better than any bands you Millennials have produced.

It was just a random name that popped into my head, calm down Boomer.

Faith no more in New York 90. Was violent but invigorating.

I watched my Mrs Debutante Ball from 1990 the other day when I was backing it up digitally before the VCR shitz itself

What surprised me was that when it was time for Parents to get up they ALL did the Pride of Erin Dance

Not one single Bogan Shuffle

Desperation by Blighty

and a touch of craziness too, as always with the wonderful Blighty.

Club Buggery, Roy and HG, The French.

This may not be that appealing with some of the younger kiddies, but this is timeless comical satire rarely seen before or since.

This may not be that appealing with some of the younger kiddies, but this is timeless comical satire rarely seen before or since.

There was a time in the '90's where on a Saturday night, we wouldn't head out on the tiles until after Club Buggery had finished.

Still setting off nuclear weapons in the Pacific for testing fewer than 30 years ago. We are a pretty shit species.

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah Club Buggery was a great show with The Nissan Cedrics.

This is gold, where they talk about ways of making Bathurst more exciting with Roy longing for the old days where they had Valiants and Datsun 180Bs.




Their radio show on Triple J on Sunday afternoons back in the 90s was even better where they could really sink their teeth into a topic and go off script.

 

[Cruyff14]

Great call on the Goo Goo Dolls Plugger35. They have some bloody good tracks.

I remember waking up every Sunday morning watching Rage and seeing Iris as number 1 for about four months straight.

Iris was a huge hit back then and got mass airplay but it's such a great song that I never got sick of hearing it, that chorus hits you in the feels every time.

I usually hated those sort of commercial soft rock US bands from that era like Nickelback but The Goo Goo Dolls were one of the rare exceptions.

Semisonic was another one, they produced some great songs back then too.

My favourite 90s song is this

 

[Gough]

My favourite 90s song is this

This is an evocative one for me.

 

[Plugger35]

My favourite 90s song is this

Yeah that's another good song from that era.

One of those classic 90s one hit wonders along with these songs.







Everyone remembers the big bands from the 90s like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis, Blur and Radiohead but there were a lot of lesser known one hit wonder type bands from the 90s that made that decade so good music wise.

 

[Gough]

This was a where were you when moment for gen x.

 

[Plugger35]

This was a where were you when moment for gen x.

Yeah that song was peak 90s/Gen X, Neil Young the godfather of grunge jamming with one of the great 90s grunge bands.

Eddie Vedder is a huge Neil Young fan like myself and he is also a huge Split Enz fan and played with them in NZ or at least with Neil and Tim Finn.

 

[Rich]

Robot Wars.

Strangely fascinating show, particularly as it was on early on Sat morning in the UK - generally watched with a massive hangover and you’d have a laugh.
Features one J Clarkson and also Jonathan Pierce. Hilarious stuff.
