The Meaning of the '90s

[IdleRich]

Someone sent me a clip from the original Judge Dredd earlier and it's interesting how you can now instantly tell a film is from the 90s. (Or is that just me knowing it was from the 90s?)

In the 90s that style was invisible but it's becoming more and more visible with each passing year.

I probably couldn't describe it - it's the way it's filmed, the costumes, the dialogue/comedy style, etc.

If you watch a film from the 90s set in another era then there will be things that give it away as 90s, things they didn't remove cos they couldn't see them - they had internalised them I guess and took them as totally for granted. I suppose things like the way their hair was cut when they came into the studio BEFORE it was then given a 1730s (or whatever) makeover.

Heard this on Radio 1 earlier and couldn't work out whether it was a 90s/2000s thing or something recent, turns out it came out about a month ago - sounds like Carly Rae Jepsen fronting The Breeders or something.

Insipid, wtf are those mushrooms doing but let me focus in on imagining terrorists bursting in and doing something useful for once

the worst is that 99-millennium era. Leann Rimes - can't fight the moonlight etc. So cynically manipulative, the wedding song for boring couples. More hollow than any black metal. Of course that's why i like it in a perverse way, such a tawdry short cut to nihilism.

Rave is when you have a lot of people who are new throwing everything they can out for a party and it works

Interesting reading these old forum posts about the 90s from people in the early 2000s.
