Subject: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It?
I am almost certain that the '90s simply will not be rememberd by future generations. Most of it anyway. Can anyone honestly see anyone throwing a "'90s themed party"? Me neither.
The '90s were hip and cool only to those of us who grew up or lived during that time. But the sad fact is that generations to come will not care for the '90s. Our children will not give a damn about the '90s. Look at the '80s. The '80s had a nostaligic movie done as early as 1998!! It was The Wedding Singer.
Something that has quality and substance will be rememberd forever. Like the Beattles. People STILL talk about the Beattles. They are not forgotten. People STILL talk about the '80s. Even kids born like after 1982 talk about the '80s. But the '90s WILL be forgotten. It's unlikely that any kid born after 1992 will want to remember the '90s.
And whether anyone likes it or not......it's all "old school" now.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I don't think it's that bad. I think the children who are old enough to remember certain shows they liked in the 90's, certain fads and technology they acquired and played with will have those nice things to remember about the decade. They will see the positive in it. Just the way many of us choose, subconsciously or not, to remember the best of the 80's.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
You're probably right about the TV shows and certain fashions. But I can't see lots of kids born after 1992 or 1993 getting into '90s music. Kids born in 1984 love '80s music. It has a quality that transcends time.
"Who Let the Dogs out" is 2000's version of 1990's "Ice Ice Baby". Usually only people who grew up or lived during that time remember such shallow stuff.
The '80s had music that is remembered by generations to come.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
That's a lot of sugarcoating there. The 90s had some really cool music, as well as some really crap music. It's the same with every decade or generation...including the 80s.
I really don't think you should be the judge of how kids born in 1992 or thereabouts are going to look back on the 90s.
And what do you mean that people still talk about the 80s??? That is true but its also true that a lot of people still talk about the 90s. I think people will end up remebering the 90s in their own little way...it could be because they got married in the 90s or they grew up in the 90s or whatever. No period of time as long as 10 years will go unforgotten

Hey calm down. I don't mean to rile anyone up. I think you need to please kindly back away from the nasty attitude you're giving me. Exactly what is the purpose of the attitude anyway?
If we are talking about "teen" years, well the '90s were my decade then. Unfortunately. I was a teenager till well into 1995. So I do know what I am talking about with the '90s. I was always dissapointed with the '90s, as it never had the same quality music the '80s had. It just wasn't nearly as fun, from my perspective. And in my opinion. Woodstock '94 was very embarrasing for me. Why did teens at that time have to copy what their parents did in the '60s? I'm sure people had some fun, but it was sooooo typical of the '90s.
From the perspective of now, right now in 2001, I can't see anyone holding '90s themed parties in 2008 or 2009. I can't see high school kids in 2009 or 2010 wanting to have a prom with a '90s theme to it. It may happen, but I will be very surprised if it does. Ofcourse people still talk about the '90s now, but will they still talk about it in 2020? Or even 2010? This stuff from the '90s was cool and hip to us, because we either grew up during the time, or lived during the time, but most of it is unlikely to transcend generations. It always could, there is no doubt about that, and if it does then I'll come back in 2011 and tell you what crow tastes like.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I think people will hold 90s themed parties, and host 90s themed television programmes, for a long time to come, despite there being not much to remember...
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Why are the 90s unlikely to transcend generations? A lot of you people who grew up in the 80s think they are hip and cool, and fair enough, you're allowed to do that. But I know for a fact that certain people not born in the 80s don't think it is THE generation. Like I said before, different people remember different things about different generations. A decade will not only be remembered due to certain things such as movies and music, but also due to personal things like weddings, deaths etc.
I believe that everybody will look back on their childhood fondly and if they were to be a child in the 90s, then they will look fondly back on that.
But if you want to talk mainstream stuff from the 90s then fine. Grunge was huge in the 90s. The 90s resurrected the whole grunge movement. I doubt anyone would wanna wear grungy clothes to their prom, but do you see where I'm coming from?
The Wedding Singer was an 80s nostalgia movie, yes. But to me it also seemed to be a tongue-in-cheek parody of the 80s
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I was born in 1984 - and yes i do love music from the 80's, but it doesn't mean that i wont remember the 90's in a good way too. I'm still in my teens, and I have memories from the 90's, as do all of you, some good, some bad, but i agree with bobo, some people will try and re-live the 90's, but maybe not for quite a while. I see your point jason, and i think your right, but only to an extent. Who would ever have guessed that the 80's would suddenly become cool again? certainly not me! I guess you never know whats going to happen really :)
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Someone agrees with me? Again? Superb. On the serious side though... If people continuously relive the 80's decade, through music, fashions, and, better still, Arcade Games, (some still alive and well on the PS, the PC, even, until recently, the DC, and, no doubt, in the future, the GC). People are still reliving 80s fashions, and will be doing as such for a long long time yet. And as for the music, I don't know one day in my life that goes past without listening to music from the aforementioned decade. Nobody knew, 12 years ago, what would, could, should be remembered from the decade. We decided, 12 years later, to pay attention to various aspects of 80s culture, and discard others.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I think the 90s will have as many followers as the 80s. To assume the decade a lot of us love best is the only one worth being nostalgic over is a little bit arrogant. ;) As long as there is a past (be it 90s or 60s) there will be a group of people who long to revisit it. That's why they call them "The Good Old Days". :)
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Indeed, any decade has as many followers as the last, so long as the nostalgic television programs are still showing on whatever networks. After all, I'm sure they have them from time to time in America too. They focus on a year or a decade and try to expose the most annoying things of that year, or decade. I remember I Love 1978 which mainly focussed on Space Invaders, and those little funny screens you used to play it on. Absolutely fantastic.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Anything can happen.
It's always possible that kids in 2010 will want to revist the '90s. Keep in mind that while I may be in my mid-20s now, I did grow up as a teenager through most of the '90s, so it's not like I'm some crusty "old dude" that only grew up in the '80s and is speaking ill of the '90s for no good reason. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Ice Cube and even Tupac were a crucial part of my teenage life.
I'll tell you guys that sometimes I do get tired of many '80s elitists. For the simple reason that they write off the '90s constantly and put it down at nearly every chance they can get. However, I feel that sadly the '90s may not be rememberd by future generations as much as the '80s are. Anything can happen. We'll wait and see what that 9 or 10 year old kid born in 1992 has to say when he is a teenager.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I think you have to remember that a lot of the stuff the 80's are remembered fondly for is not necesarily good.I was a teenager in the 80's and I laugh my head off at some of the stuff I was into or listened to, and I wouldn't wear some of the clothes again if you paid me mega bucks!! I believe the 90's will be the same,ten years down the line you do look back more fondly on things.I enjoy songs from the 80's now that I hated at the time because of memories they invoke.I already know of a 90's party,some friends had an Oasis party where you had to dress up as either Liam or Patsy.Also a Maddona party had just as many 90's Madges as 80's conical bra'd ones !!
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Sorry Bobo, I'm one of those who puts down the 90's.
I have my own opinion on the decade. It's just based on my personal experience. The beginning 90's weren't bad and I believe it's just because there was that lingering remainder of the 80's there. Then, well.... let's see.... (finding it hard to recall)
Ok. I just proved to myself, yet again, how not memorable the 90's were to me.
My main complaints, I guess, were the music not being as good - period, girls were left with just boring, neutral and natural colors for style purposes, guy's pants stretched 6 sizes, guys grooming became a thing of the past, the loss of hundreds of arcades around the world, the loss of many dance-oriented skating rinks, the closing of many dance clubs... etc, etc, and so forth.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
No problem. I put down most decades, especially the 10s, the 20s, the 30s, the 40s, the 50s, and the 60s. In my opinion, the worlds greatest everything came across during the 70s, 80s, 90s, and during these years, an amazing cultural revolution. By the 70s, we found glam rock taking the place of guitar rock, The Byrds being taken over by The Sex Pistols. Lunar Lander (that 60s mainframe game) being taken over by Pong. An amazing change in scene, in ways of living, and in fullness and appreciation for life as it comes.

I must say that I find the past quite fascinating. I'm still trying to build up my fascination for the future. ;D
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
The past is one of the best things about what's never going to happen in the future. By 2003, we'll have the PS3 out in England, with many games of unbeatable, but retrospective, quality. Roll on Gran Turismo 4, Klax iiB and the rest. Klax was one of the best things ever.
As for the past in terms of the future, we can build from our mistakes (read Sega Dreamcast) and build it up to make the most tremendous {Nintendo Dolphin} industry for the coming future. Heres for 2003, and best of wishes for 2002.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Well, you figure I was BORN in the 70's, and remember very little about that era. I definitely relate more to the 80's, because that's the age where I was actually experiencing things, you know? Heck I was 9-10 in 1980, so I had only done the "little kid" stuff in the 1970's. I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a party themed to the 70's, just because I was simply too young to appreciate it.
Now my kids were born in the 90's..but I really doubt they will look at that era as being particularly "important" to them. Most of their growing up will be done in this new millenium, and I think that will be the time they remember. My husband does listen to some of the 90's music, and I guess my kids will be aware of that. But I mostly bombard them with the 80's stuff, and they know that music better. ;D Movies, sure, they see 90's films, but nothing real impressive I guess. (to THEM...bear in mind that I did see some good movies in the 90's..but to them, it's all Disney from that timeframe) Heck their favorite movie these days is "Pee Wee's Big Adventure"...scary hunh?? ;)
And as far as the generation, as a whole, I don't see it as a particularly "memorable" one. And before 90's kids jump ALL over that, yes, a few new things, new "styles", that could be considered as "cool" or whatever, did happen. And it's fine that they want to look back at that fondly. But bear in mind, what the 90's brought to me (and probably to many other "80's Children") was graduation, getting married, having two children, losing my mother, and other medical situations within my family..all in all, I was just too darned busy to worry about the things 90's kids will remember as being "memorable"!
But, I think that many of the things said here are pretty true---the kids that consider(ed) the 1990's "their generation" will always have a place there for the memories they do have of that era. :)
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Now thats normal. What isn't, is if you were born in the mid-late 80s and relate more to that decade to any other. Like me, I guess.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
well.. I haven't gotten a chance to read everyone's reply yet, but all I can say is:

seriousily though.. I have little doubt that people will want to look back at the fun parts of the decade

Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I was 15 in 1990. ÊAt that time, Nine Inch Nails, Pearl Jam(and all other "Seattle" bands) were really coming out. ÊI think everyone will have a decade that they love, but I'm inclined to agree with Hairspray. ÊAll I remeber is the music. ÊThe 90s, to me, didn't seem to influence society in the way that the 80s did. ÊFor example, the 80s was huge in the realm of technology. Not that the 90s weren't, but the 80s had already laid the foundation for those improvements. ÊThe 90s seemed to be a decade of transition and rememberence. I think the 90s were influenced by earlier decades. ÊThe 60s were cool again (hence the reliving of the Woodstock scene). ÊI doubt I'll remember anything from the 90s besides my personal accomplishments and Bill Clinton (who, believe you me, I would like to forget). Ê
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Music has a massive influence for me, too. I can remember back in 1991, waiting to see when Everything I Do, and then Love Is All Around would get knocked off the top of the chart. Seemingly, it never happened... I loved both songs at the time, but even back then, at age five, my musical taste was scarily eclectic. This is my main way to relate to the 90's, through the music (good and bad - and some of it, nowadays, scares me) I listened to at the time..
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I will remember the early 90s because I had a job and money and I could finally end up going to a lot of concerts. Granted they were concerts of 80s artists....

For me, my brother got a toy dinosaur in 1990, when i was 10, that later became a subject of my comic strip. It started out cute and stuff, but as the 90s ended, they were more like the simpsons and beavis and butthead and such.
This was a big influence on my 90s.
What things happened to you that were big influences on your 90s?
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I was born in 89 & I remember as far back to the year 1992.2 & 1/2 years old, spring break.I could tell you alot.A girl in my class, 5th grader,(its a mixed class), was born in 1992.She came to me one day & started asking me what the 80s were like.I told her I was only a baby but I spend much time on 80s web sites.I remember tons about the 90s though.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
~Mmmhmm, you best believe the 90s will be remembered! Just like when we think of our parents who wore bell bottoms in the 70s, or 80s teenagers that wore tight shirts. I was a 90s teen too. Its like someone else said, most people don't understand cuz they didn't live through it the way we did. It was our generation 8), k nuff said.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I was born at the tail end of the 60s, was a teen in the 80s but the 90s has been my most memorable time so far. My child was born, I fluked a university degree, became a music journalist, went on the road with bands, fell in and out of love, met my fiancee, partied, owned a street machine, met famous people, went on a TV gameshow (!!), fell over, brushed myself off and got back up again and finally discovered who I am and what I want from my life.
So there. :P

I believe that younger generations are always curious to know about past decades and older generations. I mean, if it weren't for the 90s, speaking technological, they wouldn't have many of the things they are familiar with today, and in the future, like the internet. Imagine if we never had any 90s technology..then kids in the future would still listen to records, or use type-writers.

Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Apologies to all you 80s lovers out ther (Hairspray ;)) But I was born in 66 so remember a good part of the 70s, had teenage years in the 80s and was mid 20s going into the 90s. It's not that I disliked all the 80s its just that I don't care for where it ended up. The big hair, leather pants, and that horrible makeup that women wore :-X
Never liked and wanted to vomit at every "Power Ballad" that was produced. The US ecomony wasn't that strong, US cars were mostly an embarrasment, We still had the Cold war happening, Reagan was the most unaware leader of a nation in the history of mandkind. The 90s is where I hit my groove, the early Clinton years was a time of hopefullness and idealism (sadly ended very ugly) Earth tones came back, woman let there hair down, grunge music was about pain, rage, redemption, failure and celebration, and was played for the music and not the flash. 90s Technology, as stated before, did not get it's roots in the 80s but it's roots since mankind started innovating. What the 90s brought is technoloty to the masses, now a 10 year olds can research a topic from there bedroom that just a few years earlier only a grad studend at a major Univercity could get. I don't hate the 80s or any other decade, but the 90s fit me better.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
Hey Race Bannon,
I've met a lot of people like you that were 70's lovers that really liked the 90's. Seems like most people who loved the 70's more then the 80's thought the 90's were a pretty cool decade. The 90's were mainly about bringing back the Seventies anyway, so that does make sense. The asthetic of Grunge was straight out of the 1970's.
Goes to show us that everyone has different tastes.

Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It
I suppose the 70s could compare with the 90s a bit. I liked the early 80s better than the 2nd half and I liked the early 90s better than the 2nd half as well. The early 80s had New Wave and some innovative (not necessarily talented) music and the fashions were cleaner and simpler than later on. Levi 501s, topsiders shoes, and shirts with button down collars were the fashion rage when I was in high school. It went from that to some ugly stuff, grunge look may not have been pretty but at least it was much more comfortable.

Well if she's 12 that means she was born in 1990 so she did grow up in the 90's,...however barely. Though her POV of the decade is limited to Power Rangers and being a very small child. It will be interesting to see what someone a little younger then her thinks of the 1990's. Say some kids born in like 1993, '94 or '95.

Well...the 90s was an era of unprecedented economic prosperity, so they might remember that...
And you did have great athletes all over the world breaking records left and right (a la Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky etc) but you also had the beginnings of insane salaries, so to that I say "eh"
But the 90s just seemed so peaceful and uneventful, I guess there wouldn't have been much to remember.
Subject: Re: Will kids born in the '90s want to Remember It

i honestly was too stoned throughout the 90's to remember much more than a horrible marriage that lasted the decade. what should have been the best years of my life were lost in a haze of pot smoke with a self centered son of a bitch for a husband.
to me, the 90's were "the lost decade".

Well,I think that kids of the 90's will remember the songs of that era in 2010.Cause by the time 2010 rolls around,I'll be 45 years old with kids of my own wanting to remember the 90's. -howard- ;D

I think the 90's was reflected in movies such as "Dazed and Confused" and "Clerks". Also, there were definate clothing trends such as the grunge look, and in the very early 90's the very baggy and colorful clothes and guys with flat top hair cuts with shapes shaved into their scalps.
The 90's were a kind of strange gap in time between the enthusiasm of the 80's and the competitive and jaded feeling of the year 2000. But I don't think people born in the 1990's will remember it so much because it was a transitional period, that basically got the young people ready for the 21rst century.

i know that the 90's were well boring, its had such an impact on history why wouldnt they want to remember it. I mean music use to change from decade to decade it seemed, but there really wasnt one particular style of music in the 90's it was very varied so yeah i think they would want to just because it was different then the rest of em'

If I have to, I will hold a "1990's theme" party as my fiftieth... but there will be at least one before that event ever takes place.
But, we're basically a slight extention to the '90's so if we just held a casual party it'd be like throwing a "1990's" party... just exclude all "bumster" & "hipster" type clothing & you're all set :P!!!
We won't forget the decade... well, New South Wales, Australia never will...

I am almost certain that the '90s simply will not be rememberd by future generations. Most of it anyway. Can anyone honestly see anyone throwing a "'90s themed party"? End Quote

The '90s were hip and cool only to those of us who grew up or lived during that time. But the sad fact is that generations to come will not care for the '90s. Our children will not give a damn about the '90s. Look at the '80s. The '80s had a nostaligic movie done as early as 1998!! It was The Wedding Singer.

Well, if your question is "people BORN IN" the '90s, I'd say yes, largely they'll probably not bother. I don't think people care as much about their childish years as they do their "coming of age" years. Certainly they recall personal things, but the culture at large? Mostly, no.
I couldn't care less about the '60s (I was born at the tail end anyway), and I have little care for the '70s though I was quite conscious of it. I mean, I'd go to '70s parties, I like the '70s OK esp music, but as far as being really tuned into the whole culture thing, no. But then, maybe that's cuz I remember the vomit (yes, that's what they've always reminded me of - that's "natural" but you can keep it!) colors and mixtures of same I and esp. my older siblings were forced to wear - not to mention which colored every house - and would rather forget! Although, frankly, Disco wiped most of that nonsense away, thankfully. So there is a redeeming part to the '70s for me - but it's just not heavy on my memories.
If you're just placing a bet that the '90s won't be as popular as the '80s in the future, I'd guess you could be correct.
BTW, I finally caught a tiny bit of that movie (sorry, I don't like Adam Sandler and I'm not big on contemp movies), and Drew Barrymore had teewwtally spazzed un-illin' hair. What's up w/the '90s flattened bob w/split-ends in the '80s main chick?

Waaaah! Are you saying I'm a wrinkly gray gramma? As if I'm not having enough trouble just being over 30! :'( ;)

I just don't think they'll be old enough to remember it.When we're old and gray,the music we'll remember is ours but they'll remember theirs.
howard :D
