Subject: 1980s vs. 1990s

Written By: 90s Guy on 02/24/16 at 2:50 am

Which do you feel was the better decade overall, in terms of pop culture, technology, everything?

I was always, for a VERY long time, a staunch 1990s person. I was obsessed in particular with the period from 1994-1997. But lately, I've been immensely drawn to the 1980s. The whole decade just seemed like one giant party, and just seeing the changes in fashion and pop culture over the course of the decade, it's astounding. Musically, we started off with Reggae, New Wave and the like, and ended it with the likes of Paula Abdul, New Jack Swing and Hair Metal (for better and for worse); You had amazing films like the first three Indiana Jones movies, The Empire Strikes Back, E.T., The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Beverly Hills Cop, Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Coming to America, 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club; You had great TV like Magnum, P.I., the A-Team, and so on; You had Michael Jackson at his peak, before the sex abuse allegations; You had Guns N' Roses at their height; Rap rising as a legitimate artform; You had Queen rocking the world at Live Aid in '85; The blockbuster comeback of the Rolling Stones in '89; Reagan, though I dislike him politically, was a much more iconic president arguably than Clinton; you had the rise of computer and video games as an actual, sophisticated past time (compared to say, Pong); Fashion was all over the place and everything had something great....

Whereas lately it seems like the '90s were just sort of a bland decade. You had good bands like Pearl Jam and interesting musical movements like Ska and early modern Hip Hop, but by 1997-1998, the world was all Titanic and boy/girl bands (yuck!). Cartoons were perhaps the best thing about the 1990s - The '90s was definitely the Golden Age for animation in every form (from the Disney Renaissance down to Nickolodeon).

I was obsessed with the mid '90s, because that's the time period in which I was a kid, but I was actually raised loving '80s things, due to the fact I had older parents (36 when I was born in 1990) and older sibling. I grew up obsessed with Labyrinth (1986), with Bohemian Rhapsody (1975); My favorite handheld game for most of my childhood was Simon (an '80s game); I remember more reruns of '80s programming like Talespin and Ducktails than I do the kid's toons of the day (outside of Rugrats and Rocko's Modern Life).

It's ironic, in that I helped scare him off the forum, but in a lot of ways, the late Early '90s Guy was right, in my opinion. I know as a child, a lot of the stuff I grew up loving, with some exceptions, came either from the '70s, 80s or before 1995. TENG said everything sucked after 1992. While I disagree that "everything" sucked, I can't help but feel things got a little less interesting after 1994. '90-'94 gave us Rugrats, Beavis & Butthead, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Doug, Dinosaurs, Ren & Stimpy, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The X-Files, just so much stuff....After '94 things kinda went downhill in retrospect. Not everything sucked, not by far. But...I think the time period from 1980 through 1994 is a lot more fascinating than 1995-1998 or so....Around '98 things got interesting again in some ways with the rise of WWF and Gameboy Color and Pokemon....But '95-98/99 or so is kinda a wasteland. There's not even any memorable fashion from that period....Whereas '94 had the whole Hippie/Grunge look sort of melding, '93 was a mix of '90s and '80s styles, '90-'92 was just the late '80s continued....

I mean, the best sitcoms of the '90s were E.R., Friends and Seinfeld....Put those shows up against Magnum, P.I., Miami Vice, and The A-Team, or early '90s shows...You got nothing.

I always saw the 90's as bland (in comparison to the previous decades). On balance, the 80's were mostly upbeat. I'm not saying the 90's were bad ... There were define toy some great things that happened. It' s just that my best memories of youth were in the late 60's through to the mid 80's. That' fairly typical of most people. They reminisce about their childhood right through to their 20's. It just depends when you were born. Some decades were genuinely more significant than others ... But most had their good and not so good times.

It also depends where are in your life cycle. The 90's were when I got married, built our first home and started my family (4 kids ... and all in that decade). So, some of my greatest 'life' events occurred. However, that also meant we had only my income, a whole lot of responsibility and no entertainment money. We barely ever went out to the movies or dinner. As far as decades went ... very significant (and satisfying) personally ... but not much fun.

It's only natural to reminisce about times when we had less responsibility and fun was top priority.

So, will you soon become '80s Guy'?  ;)

They're both wonderful decades for completely different reasons.  The 80s are just vibrant, colorful, edgy, free-spirited, and commercial in a good way (but also containing some great underground stuff), while the 90s were a diverse, optimistic, progressive, and sophisticated period.  I'm frankly upset that I wasn't alive for any of the 80s and only experienced the 90s as a little kid.


But what about the time period of 1981-1996? It far outweighs that of 1984-2001


Seriously?  This isn't decadeology.  Be glad that for once we're simply talking about which full, chronological decade we prefer between the 80s and 90s, not the starting and ending points of their respective cultural influences.  Saying which span of years we enjoyed is not the same thing as asking which years belong to Generation X versus Generation Y, or which years are mid-90s versus late 90s.

The 80's 100% were a whole lot better than the 90s ever could of dreamed.

The 90's took the best of the 80s (Punk, Thrash Metal, Skateboarding, Hip Hop and Alternative) and packaged and commercialized the whole thing taking out the raw power of it all. Believe me, I love the 90's music (hell, I grew up with that stuff and was pretty involved in the scene back then) no matter how commercial it is but I've always felt it wasn't as mighty as the great 80's. Who can beat the raddest 80s bands like Circle Jerks, Slayer, Bad Religion, JFA, The Cure, The Smiths, A.O.D. etc., etc. I could go on and on about how incredible the music was back then. I'm not his biggest fan but give me Rick Astley over crap like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam any day! The movies were also the best. The 90s never had Bill and Ted, Fast Times, Stripes, Tapeheads, Ferris Bueller, Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, the Back to the Future trilogy, Empire and Jedi, Aliens, Tom Hank's 80's films, etc. My god, every year of the 80's had a classic! Television wise, you had so much to choose from like Full House, Roseanne, Degrassi, M*A*S*H, the A-Team, Magnum, P.I., Miami Vice, MacGyver, etc., etc., etc. What an amazing decade.

I do in some respects agree with The Early 90s Guy. I think everything really started to suck around 2003-2004 but everything did get a lot less interesting and blander beginning around 1993 or 1994 when the real 90's began. For one, I really, really hate Grunge and it's big explosion around 1993. Early 90s Guy was totally right when saying 1991 and 1992 aren't really Grungy years (I think this despite my brother becoming a grunger in 1991. Love ya' bro, hate your music) like 1993 was. Side note: 1993 and 2003, in my opinion, are the melding of 80's/90's and 90's/00's styles respectively but anyways, back on topic.

The 80's in general had such a great vibe. Sitting in your living room, playing the NES or catching up on some Full House. Sitting around and putting on a tape or record while you anticipate the courage to call up a pretty girl with crazy short hair, ripped jeans and a leather jacket. After school, you could go to the arcade, get some coke and play some Mario Bros. or Donkey Kong with your buds. I wish I was older during this decade because it would of ruled. People were more human and things were real back then. If only he wasn't so staunch about his theory, I would of loved to discuss (and I tried) all things 80's and early 90s with The Early 90s Guy. He was right about it being the best decade.


But what about the time period of 1981-1996? It far outweighs that of 1984-2001


I think you mean 1984-2002. ;)

But the 80's are far better than anything that came afterwards. Even the 90s and early 00's.

I find that the 1980s pop culture is targeted toward a more universal audience than the 1990s overall. It was easier for middle aged people to dig the shoulder pads, Lionel Richie, power ballads, and permed hair than it was to get into the death metal, grunge, gangsta rap, trace/electronica, rave, and sensationalist tone.

The '90s of course were much more progressed with regards to minorities, while in the '80s, LGBT intolerance for example was still high. The basics of certain forms of everyday life we take for granted came of age in the '90s (Internet, wireless/cellular). It was much more alternative oriented, multicultural, and minimalist in addition with the higher amount of technology. It was fun in that it was progressive and that every month, something new would be discovered, from the movie trends to the toys to the sports scene to the genres of music to video and computer games to even world events. However, we grasp much of these rather than to overmarket and whine like we do nowadays with the tech overload.

But my first love will still be the '80s. And unlike decades prior where lots of things are hard to find, you can still easily life an '80s lifestyle today by playing on a classic Atari 2600 or NES and then watching on a Betamax machine episodes of The Equalizer, Amazing Stories, and Max Headroom back when sci-fi and adventure was innovative and not formulative. Lots of earlier tech was still around in the form of postcards (more than just at a few souvenir shops in tourist traps), telegrams, typewriters (along with a newer electronic form), rotary phones, and handwritten letters that you just don't see in the 21st century. Although the Cold War was still on, glasnost in the second half of the decade allowed the Soviet Union and The West to exchange ideas that helped to bridge cultures. Plus, it was affordable for the everyday man. You could still get a can of soda, a bar of candy, or the daily paper for a quarter, a gumball for a nickel, a cheeseburger for fifty cents, a second-run movie or subway ride for a dollar, a high school football game for two bucks, an action figure for three bucks, a haircut for five bucks, a pair of shoes for ten bucks, good seats at a ballgame or concert for fifteen bucks, a motel for 20 dollars a night, a nice hotel for 100 dollars a night, a new car for $6000, or a three-bedroom single family house for $100,000.

They did, however, have love ballads, adult contemporary, and the like dominating the charts throughout the whole decade.  Huge albums like Falling Into You, Bat Out of Hell II:  Bat Into Hell, and Luck of the Draw were just as friendly to Baby Boomers as they were to Gen-X'ers, if not even moreso.

The '90s of course were much more progressed with regards to minorities, while in the '80s, LGBT intolerance for example was still high.

I don't really see the 90s as being significantly more progressive than the 80s over minority rights.  The 80s were a period of continued influence of minority culture into everyday life, whether it be The Cosby Show dominating television, artists like Michael Jackson and Prince breaking the boundaries of popular music for African Americans, musicians like Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, and Madonna giving way for more expressive and sensationalist female music; or groups like Culture Club and Erasure expanding the possibilities of fashion.  A solid majority of Americans still opposed same-sex marriage in the 1990s, and music movements like gangsta rap for example weren't the most embracing of women or gays, although grunge was very progressive at heart.

Death Metal? That wasn't at all Mainstream in the 90's (nor has it ever been). Thrash Metal in the mid-80's, on the other hand, was actually the biggest any form of Extreme Metal has ever gotten.

The 1980s and early 90s were simply cool. You didn't really have people being obsessed with anything on the Internet, while they focused more on television and video games. The 90s on the other hand was just AOL, Xtreme! bullsheesh, and really awkward VHS tapes. Even though the early 2000s were culturally part of the 90s, I'll simply prefer them than the mid-late 90s. At least I could kinda remember the early '00s (2002-2003 per se) and were simply happy times for me.

The early '90s (1990, 1991, and 1992) were much livelier than the '80s, but the '80s  were better than the '90s as a whole. Like NewYorkEagle was saying, the incoming '00s culture is what stopped any chance of the '90s being better than the '80s. At first, it was not so bad with selections like the first Sonic the Hedgehog game, Mike Myers films, and the Slap Wrap (slap bracelet), but it only got worst by the end of the '90s. I'm not a fan of the extreme commercials, Limp Bizkit, or the TV show Friends, it was too much for me, even back then.

I agree overall here. And yes, Friends was really lame. Like I said in the OP, you had some really great TV in the '80s. The only thing cool about '90s TV (outside of Law & Order and the X-Files) were the cartoons.

As for the question, both decades have their own unique culture that stands out. Both were really fantastic as the eras offered many things and opportunities to enjoy.

Well you don't need Internet for fandoms to exist. I'm just saying it was popular enough to have its own Usenet group.


Well if that's true, then furries really did exist since the late 80s.

The first furry internet group was created June 21st, 2003. It was call "Fluff for F*cks." Meetings usually took place on AOL messenger but often proved difficult as the real 2000's had not completely formed yet so many still used dial-up. The first "ConFurence" took place on August 15th, 2003 with a special appearance from Fall Out Boy who were dressed up as various Disney characters.

That news article is from February, 2004. Nice try.

Told ya'. Everyone got lamer and softer in 2003 which helped propel furriemania.

Not when it aired, though. When 1993ers got into Sally (8-P 8-P 8-P 8-P) and discovered the SatAM cartoon, it was probably in 2003 (while watching that other awful one).

This one was the better cartoon anyway:

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog lacked the furry vibe. It mostly consisted of Sonic and Tails beating robots. Sonic SatAM is the one everyone likes to point fingers at. Sonic X (the 2003 anime) is mainly about a human boy named Chris who befriends Sonic and a bunch of other animal characters......oh snap this show is pretty furry... :(

I agree. If you look at every year of the 80's you will always find a classic. The movies, the music, the vibe, the television, the fashion, the video games... Man it was all amazing. The 80's is the best decade of all time by far. I miss that way of living.

If we're going by the new TV shows, movies, songs, commercials, toys, and gadgets of the '90s, then how could they stand a chance? Compare Everybody Loves Raymond to ALF and of course, ALF comes out on top every time. The major difference between the '80s and '90s were the times that came after them. We still had one more year of the 20th century to go while we were living in the '80s. In the '90s, we were pushing with each passing year to "party like it's 1999". Who wants to revisit 1999, today? By the looks of it, not many on here. There lies the answer to why the '80s are so much better than the '90s. I mainly love the early '90s for the '90s culture Saved by the Bell, Married with Children, and the Gameboy], by the way. I could do without stuff like Melrose Place, but the show had its' moments.  :)

'93 was definitely the first year of the mid '90s. I did not know how to list those years initially. Thankfully, I cleared that up by typing out the years and not including the dash. Though, I could have said 1990-1992. That would have been correct also.

I feel the exact same way. The early 90's were a lot different than the rest of the decade. More like years of the 80's.

Funny thing is, I feel the same way about 2000, 2001 and 2002 when compared to the rest of the 2000's. The first three years of that decade aren't real 2000's in my eyes.

1999 however, was simply half late 90s/half early '00s. So, it was not the first full '00s cultural year. That belongs to 2002. Also, Beverly Hills 90210 mostly aired in the 90s, while the show ended in 2000. So, it can't be a 2000s show.

Beverly Hills 90210 may have aired, for the most part, in the '90s, but it was far more of an intense drama than the other teen shows of the time like Saved by the Bell and Degrassi High.

If we're going over your opinion, then I don't think it would defend your case. Original airing dates aren't opinionated to discuss over what decade the show's from. It simply states what years did the show aired in. As in new episodes. Your logic doesn't make any sense with this.

The general public may not think of it as a 2000s show, but it was the first of its kind. We have Beverly Hills 90210 to thank for Dawson's Creek, The OC, Gossip Girl, and all of the other hour long teen shows that came after it. Like I said before, there were no other shows like Beverly Hills 90210 on at the time. It stood out like a sore thumb for that reason. Some people think of 1999 as the very first year of the 2000s, so 90210 was on for one full year and five months of the next one.

The general public may not think of it as a 2000s show, but it was the first of its kind. We have Beverly Hills 90210 to thank for Dawson's Creek, The OC, Gossip Girl, and all of the other hour long teen shows that came after it. Like I said before, there were no other shows like Beverly Hills 90210 on at the time. It stood out like a sore thumb for that reason. Some people think of 1999 as the very first year of the 2000s, so 90210 was on for one full year and five months of the next one.


Just because it inspired other shows from the 2000s, that doesn't mean it was originally a 2000s show. That's basically the most bizarre logic I've ever read on this website.

Dallas started in 1978 and ran all throughout the rest of the '80s into the '90s. Some shows do premiere in the first year of a new time and end in the second subera of that time, though. Those shows are usually connected to something that came before them. To give you an example, Parker Lewis Can't Lose was on the air from the fall of 1990 to the spring of 1993 and it was thought of as a Ferris Bueller rip-off by critics.

Maybe it was because Game of Thrones is HBO's most successful show right now, as opposed to The Sopranos in the 2000s.

I believe he said that because Game of Thrones has some similarities to The Sopranos. I have never watched Game of Thrones, so I would not know.

I do. I think she looked better when she was a tomboy in 2001 and 2002. That was hot. I remember back in the early 00's there was a site called "Hot or Not" and it was a lot of fun. My wife (then-girlfriend) hated it, though! It was quite funny. If Katy Perry was on it, I'd rate her "NOT!" but if Hudson was on, I'd rate her "HOT!"

Margins do matter. Society has sucked since 2003. You're Canadian, you should listen to Gob!

I imagine it tastes like normal bread, which means it's better than Subway bread.

It appears that many Subway employees die learning how to make the sandwiches. Are you proud to have teenage employee blood on your hands? Do you want me to call Chris Hansen again?

Just kidding. I actually like Subway, though I don't eat there often. It's much better than Taco Bell.  :P

80's by far! It's so much more groovier and funkier. The 80's RnB focuses on the good times and having fun. The 90's RnB tries too hard to be "ghetto" and crap but I'll give it credit for still having that "soulful" sound that died around 2003-2004.

Chris Hansen and I have nothing to do with each other. I do not have the blood of teenagers on my hands (gross) I just think Subway make good sandwiches!

Both seem alright. But if I had to choose, the 90s were better. I know that I like the 80s more with its music, but 90s R&B and Hip-Hop was what defined those two genres.
