The 90s thread

[Plugger35]

The Wallabies were a lot better back in the 90s.

John Eales was the best 2nd rower in the world and he could kick for goal as well.

The Savage Garden singles were very ubiquitous here in the late 90s/early 00s, you'd have to live under a rock to not be familiar with them. Their 2 albums had a little filler, but were otherwise stacked with consistently good singles. Hayes when solo made one of the best ever Australian albums in The Tension and the Spark.

Affirmation is my favourite Australian single of the 2000s: 100 best Australian singles: 2000s

Winning that World Cup in 1991 meant the death of rugger on the ABC. It's been on commercial channels ever since then. Rugby went officially pro after the 95 WC too it was a huge decade of change for the code.

Savage Garden got a fair bit of airplay in the States when I was there in 1999 along with Silverchair who were huge over there at the time.

At least the commercial channels had the good sense to recruit Gordon Bray from the ABC when they got the rugby coverage, wouldn't be the same watching rugby without his dulcet tones.

Lol i remember Savage Garden- "Crash and Burn" was definitely pulled off the airwaves when 9/11 happened.

Have still got their original album- the one with "I want you". Got some great songs on there, Break me Shake me probably my fave.

Dialogue.

90s TV and Movies were big on dialogue. Geez we loved a bit of talking shit, didn't we?

Heaps of examples, Tarantino is up there, but for me, the archetypal 90s dialogue flick had to be Clerks:

 

[Bomberboyokay]

90s pop artists like Savage Garden were pissy but their songs were at least real songs.

2019's pop stars like Ed Sheeran and Adele dish up really lame stuff. If Savage Garden was McDonald's then Adele is two-minute noodles that was cooked on Monday and is rotting in the garbage on Wednesday.

 

[Shell]

I completely agree bomberboi

 

[Cruyff14]

Affirmation is a brilliant song. The message in it is fantastic.

Ah silverchair. This music video gave me nightmares as a kid, that damn creepy lady's face

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

The late 70s early 80s babies proved they are thier own generation with the way they reacted to silverchair. I remember seeing them pile out of stage 3 at 95 bdo Sydney.

They looked like Zombtfied freaks in some sort of worship anorexia and hair culture. It's almost like the silverchair crowd were still Comotosed in deep grief after kobains successful attempt at pushing both triggers on his double barrel shotgun at the same time, almost up there with epstiens effort

Offspring and tumbleweed attracted Humans.

Gazza Ablett.

/possibly born in the 90s so theres that link.

The nightclub circuit in South Yarra... Saloon Bar, Imperial Hotel, Tok-H

... fertile hunting pastures... was it really more than 20 years ago?

 

[Shell]

Why stop at South Yarra?

Spy Lounge/Heat/Mercury/Metro.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Hooning was good in the ninties

Lots of toys available cheap. Cops had no technogy slow cars. Petrol and tyres cheap and plenty of work to fund serious hoon habit.

Shopping centre decor of the '90's was the last of the good quality centres.

Now, they're fashion outlets with a shit ton more concrete than what there was back then.

Plus, all tenancies look the same to me.

Yep, everything has this cookie-cutter appearance now. This even applies to fast food restaurants.

 

[Scotland]

Shops used to be full of stock. Now they are all open space and minimalist design. Might look good on Selling Houses Australia but what's the point of a clothing shop that has 5 shirts and some jeans?

 

[Procrastinator35]

The 90's are just a Blur to me.

 

[Procrastinator35]

Quite possibly the biggest poser in alternative rock music during the 90's this geezer.

I was just a kid in the 90s (born in 1990) but what I associate the most with this time period was morning cartoons, Agro's and Cheez TV. Are morning cartoons still a thing these days? As a bullied kid in primary school they were my get me up before a shitty day.

there are cartoons in the morning (theres way more channels now) but I don't believe any shows like aggros cartoon connection or cheez TV exist

 

[Plugger35]

The only cartoons I watched in the 90s were The Simpsons and South Park.

Agro got replaced by Sunrise
