Subject: What Are Campier: The Early '90s or the Late '90s?

Written By: Donnie Darko on 06/21/06 at 7:37 pm

I don't think the Nineties were campy overall, but the early '90s inherited a lot of '80s camp and the late '90s were much more bubblegum/consumerist than the early and mid '90s.  The entire decade had a "dorky" quality to it, such as the trend of wearing clothes backwards, but it was never "cheesy". The '90s are what I'd call the "sloppy" decade, if the '80s are the "tight" decade and the '00s the "glam" decade.

I would say the early '90s are overall campier, because the late '90s were as a whole not a campy time, but the teenybopper culture of the late '90s is very campy.

The 1990 and 1991 Vanilla Ice era was oh-so-campy. The late '90s were fun, not campy, overall.

I'd say the mid-90s were the worst for camp dance tunes, hair and fashion.

No doubt 1990-1994. 1997 is actually quite difficult to distinguish from today in terms of clothes, atittude.etc

I don't think the 90s overall were campy. Sure there were bits of scattered pieces, but I don't recall a group of years being overwhelmingly campy.

I don;t know what dictionary you used but to me camp is like loud outrageous gay show-tunes and stuff.  ;D
