The 90s thread

[Plugger35]

Post all your memories of this great decade here,

I remember Vanilla Ice




And I also remember Jim Carrey taking the piss out of Vanilla Ice on In Living Color.

I will always remember the 90s as the decade when mainstream movies, music, and AFL football were actually good.

The 90s was peak SNL

Norm doing Burt Reynolds.




So many guys from the 90s SNL era that went on to be stars like Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, David Spade, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Phil Hartman, Rob Schneider, Norm MacDonald and Will Ferrell.

Those were the days.

They were the early days of Ch10 in Perth.

The ratings for The Comedy Company went through the roof.

That was due to Perth people being grateful just to have a 4th channel.

There was no 7mate or 10peach back in those days.

You're probably right about the 90s being peak SNL, imo.

Although I guess in terms of big names, Eddie Murphy, Andy Kaufman, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Dan Akroyd, John Belushi, were on in the first 10 years, so you could argue that was the peak.

90s pop music was the worst.

 

[Plugger35]

I saw this band at one of those 10 bucks for 10 bands at the old Shents Hotel and predicted they would make it.

This really was a game changer.




Up until then I was heavily into Noiseworks and Boom Crash Opera.

Social Science - Children of the 90s

Being a child of the 90's is something I'll always look fondly upon. Cheez TV, Tamagotchis, dunkaroos, life was sweet :p 2 decades later and I've reached an age in which I have started to think deeply and thoroughly about my own existence, the nature of the universe, what it means to human and...

Personally it was a decade spent bringing up children, my 2 kids were born in 85 and 87, loved it.

There was also a dalliance with pub ownership in the first half of the 90s, in hindsight not the smartest thing to do with 2 young children in tow.

Wrestling in the 90s was so much better

Copious amounts of weed.. Seems I spent most of the 90s bouncing from dealers in the daytime and bouncing from bouncers in the night time... As the decade wore on things became more sinister and I won 10K at Crown and got the **** out of dodge... Right into Surfers Paradise... 2000.

90s we're great, I started at 16 and ended at 33, then went back to 22 in 2000. LSD also was a regular feature in the early-mid90s, while Ecstacy was a feature in the mid-late 90s. Sex was on tap. Drugs were on tic.

90s were great.

Started following AFL. Loved going to the SANFL. Early 90s double headers at Footy Park were great as a kid.

Started heading interstate more for footy weekends. Would often go to see as many games as possible.

Fri night, Sat day, Sat night, Sunday, Mon night (95 onwards) etc

Went overseas to America, did the whole Disneyland thing. Was amazing at the time.

School at the time seemed tough but looking back was straight forward. I was, still am, pretty quiet and not in the cool group or not the scrubber group so just floated with a few mates.

Started working at HJs in 98. Really gives you the skills to work under pressure, deal with people, follow schedules, team work, etc for future jobs and life. Loved working there.

And of course fell in Love with the West Coast Eagles early 1990s. Earliest memory was watching a Fri night game on tv WCE v Foots. Sumich kicked 13. From there I was absolutely hooked. Cannot picture footy before that. Any games from before that game I can't Remember anything about. Saw us play Adel at footy park a couple of weeks later with my dad and got an Eagles scarf and remember the atmosphere and smells and it was all so exciting. Helps that we won too [emoji106]

Good old 90s.

Same here ie. The years of primary and high school. Cept I started working at Hoyts my first part time job in 1996.

First game of footy was in the 90s too- 1993 Essendon v Geelong which was an absolute classic.

My actual first AFL game was 1991 rd 14 Adel v Bris Bears at Footy Park.

Totally unremarkable. But I remember it.

I took up pub ownership at the end of the 90s, no kids but also a questionable decision.
