When you look back on the 90's.....

[grlNIN]

what are you mostly going to remember or what is your most poignant memory of the decade?

i learned about some of the greatest bands in history from the 90's...even though i was young i grew up with two older brothers and i listened to the music they did so i pretty much grew up with all the good bands from punk to blues

i got my head, but my head is unraveling
can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's traveling
i got my heart but my heart is no good
and you're the only one that's understood

i come along but i don't know where you're taking me
i shouldn't go but you're reaching, dragging, shaking me
turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
the more i give to you, the more i die

NIN were the best thing to come out of the 90's. Trent saved the decade!

The 90's were a confusing time for me. In '94, my grandfather died and it was the first real experience I had with losing someone I was close to. My mom's boyfriend died of cancer almost a year to the day, in April of '95. That summer, my beloved New Jersey Devils won their first ever Stanley Cup. In the fall of '95, my family moved down to the Jersey shore. In '97, I graduated from high school, but it didn't mean very much to me, because I hardly knew any of the people I graduated with. It was not the happiest decade of my life, but a memorable one, nonetheless.

I agree with Ryan. Coming to ::ahem:: maturity in the 90's (12-22), I realised that the world, for the most part, is a sad sad place. Sure, there are good points: porno, Ron and Fez, Gvac's testes, but these little treats are few and far between. For the most part the world is a bad place, and getting worse.

well in a general sense, definitely the entire grunge scene... the early 90s was when i realyl started getting into music and going to shows and all... it was the first time music really meant anything to me

on a more personal note, i guess both high school and college (damn i'm getting old), a not so short list of friends and boyfriends coming and going, meeting my two best friends, my grandmother dying, etc etc. i think i did the vast majority of my growing up during the 90s, it probably is and will be my most formative decade

Why do you think it's getting worse?

Well, the short version of that answer is this: We are rapidly descending into a world where the power and control is no longer sits with us, but in the hands of a select few who sit atop the human food chain. Issues like the environment and health, race relations and education, class struggle and finance, to name a few are, more and more, being controlled by people who probably don't have our best interests at heart. Sure the illusion of control is granted to us, and to some degree we still have a little, but every year and every election more and more of that control is sold away to the highest bidder. This is not a Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican thing. It's a have vs. have not thing.

You may be right to a point but this is hardly a phenomenon since the 1990s. Were people better off under kings, czars, emperors, pharoahs, dictators, etc.?
