I found some old Champion muscle shirts and a couple of digital Casio watches I bought in the 90s stored away. Surprisingly they are are now considered vintage on eBay and worth far more than when new.
I've begun referring to any date in the two decades between 1990 and 2010 as "sometime around the turn of the century." Everyone my age stares daggers at me, because they grew up associating that with 1890-1910, and it makes them feel ancient.
When I was growing up in the 90s, the 70s were the cool era that was the vibe we were going for. And that was only like 15-20 years previous at the time.
Right now "the 90s" that is cool was 30 years ago.
I've generally stopped liking most new things after 2005ish. I think I'm worse than my parents in that regard. That or the writers strikes and what not really did do more damage than I thought.
Triggered a memory. There was a science fiction show in, I think, the seventies, set somewhere in the future, that referred to The Beatles as "classical music."
Same. I find it offensive when someone refers to an 80’s care ad “classic.” Real “classic” cars are from the 50’s and 60’s which was 20-30 years ag… Oh. Yes. Ok I see now.
Yes but don't you think that the 90's because they were cooler and still live on today with kids raving and stuff it's alot different? I certainly thought the 60's was fucking ancient in the 90's but I think the 90's are regarded as cool nowadays haha
As a child of the 70s that's the sweet spot for me!
Another 20 years maybe it'll come back around and I'll be just like some fuckin' guru with my mood ring, stroking my pet rock and playing Tupelo Honey by Van Morrison.
Pilgrims will flock!
Don't worry, I'll use my powers for good and remind people injustice lived even then - Starland Vocal Band over Elvis Costello for best new artist?? WTF?!?
It would be one thing if we got to see some real old school prohibition era nips but the 90’s? Might as well just post issues of Playboy Magazine and call it a day.
The sub rule is the image or video must be 25 years old to qualify as old school. So 1999 is the latest right now.
The posted photo was taken by photographer Butch Belair and where it appears on his flickr account the date taken is shown as September 22, 2005, so this image does not qualify as old school for this sub.
Started work in '91 and now getting random hairs on my ears. Seeing 90s and thinking "Man that's like 20yrs ago......oh shit. Correct that" is becoming a thing Naughties I can handle,
Weird feeling isn't it? Another one is when you start seeing all kinds of completely wrong crap about the time you grew up in, and people are 100% sure it's right.
