The OAO 'I Love the 90's" thread

Recommended Posts

Even though it's only been 4 1/2 years, VH1 in it's desire to make shows about every little segment of pop culture starts I Love the 90's this week.

 

And the first year (1990) is on right now.

The problem with this so far is that too many "stars" from the 90s are on it complementing stupid stuff from the 90s. I'm not watching this to hear some guy from "90210" talk about how talented Michael Bolton was.

It needs more Jay & Silient Bob. Less Backstreet Boys.

It's amazing how those two are in their 30's now, and yet they get into their gear and BAM- They're Jay and Silent Bob, they slip into those characters like it was nothing.

The 90's really weren't that lovable, from what I remember.

shut your mouth, ho.

 

the 90s had independent cinema, 'mystery science theater 3000', bill hicks, 'the state', gangsta rap, alternative radio, super nintendo, 'the simpsons' and the bisexual goth chick revolution.

I wish their "marquee" people could tell an actual joke or really rip on something instead of doing the overly sarcastic, laudatory comment thing over and over again.

You gotta expect that. I mean, they take someone into a studio, have them talk about different things, and cut it up to fit into the show. Hell, for all we know they took the same comments and replayed them 2000 times instead of having them say the same thing 2000 times...

That 1990 episode was crappy, and that's mainly because 1990 itself was crappy. I mean honestly now, is there anyone out there with a smidge of nostalgia for MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, or the Lambada?

 

The bewildering thing is that they really didn't trash that stuff all that much (even Michael Bolton), yet from what I saw of the 1991 show they were badmouthing grunge quite a bit. Do they not have a clue about their target audience here?

The Grunge generation? Not anymore, smithy boy.

 

VH1's demographic is MTV's demographic, no longer a music station for people with attributes like taste and intelligence...

The year 1991 has passed on the show, and they did show some of the best moments...

 

The show I LOVE AND I HOPE TO GOD A DVD COLLECTION IS RELEASED: Family Matters. Man, Jaleel STILL LOOKS THE SAME...LOL

 

Pee Wee jerks his pee pee....WHY! WHY! I remember being pissed off and wondering why the show was gone when I was 6......and then I found out and I laughed...LOL.

:takes out Lambada:

 

::raises hand::

*Seconds the Lambada nostalgia*

 

And somewhere deep in my closet, lies a pair of huge-ass Mc Hammer-like pants. :lol:

...well, more due to the fact that I'm FAT. Not that I'm a fan or anything.

*sings '2 Legit 2 Quit'*

I definitely like three of these.

 

The 90's weren't tacky enough, though. The 80's have that embarassingly gaudy quality that makes it lovable and hateable. The 90's was the cleaner, nicer side of the 80's that lends it a middle of the road type of quality which should really be referred to as "I like the 90's."

Wasn't the 90s when Randy Savage and the Rockers were wearing the brightest clothes as possible...........damn the floresent colors. And fringed t-shirts were so tacky.

 

90s Geek:

 

Bright Generic shirt that changes colors

LA Gear sneakers that light up or British Knights basketball shoes

Acid wash jeans

Blade style sunglasses.....forgot brand name but I think it was O'Neil
