This is a far reaching thing

I mean I am from the early 80's and grew up thru the 90's. I'm not sure if society has ever advanced so quickly in such a short period of time. Huge changes.

lolz I remember when Spice and Pepper came out (old rap band) and the girls hit was "sex"

omg I remember the hysterics that went on about curceing, and sex, and drugs, guns everything was taboo lolz gangstah rap changed the music industry because it let in curceing and the darker side of lyrics that just wasn't acceptable 15 years ago.

lol you kids will never know when mtv had some decent shows like Daria, My so called life.. lolz I remember ppl going ape sht because there was a openly gay kid on the show...

Nothing shocks people any more kinda sad.. Was so easy to hate the establishment before they got soft..

anyone remember the MTV games? Around the time the Xgames was just getting started

I remember a basket ball game between red hot chili peppers drummer Flea and a celeb they had on and flea pwned him like no other... That old man can play ball..

remember when CKY came out and it was a huge thing.. Online at least

aw the good ole days of the 90's never be a time like it again... All we do now is live in fear = (

I'll join ya in a "Get off my lawn!" moment.

I'm an old fart myself. I grew up in the 80's and early 90's too.

I remember when MTV used to play music. Yes, they did actually play music. (Oh and the early, mid 90's had the best music. Much better than the crap they produce today.)

Yes sir. The 90's were awesome. The 80's kind of sucked though.

I also remember bieng all "meme" with the playstation in 95! It was all thrills and chills. Not everyone was so paranoid either ><

Early 90s. I grew up with the best of Nickelodeon, the cell phone industry, and the mangling of popular music beyond what happened ever before in history.

If I could forget fucking Saved by the Bell and fucking cassettes, I'd be all the better for it.
The best part of being born in the early 80's was that I got to see a Cubs game with Maddux on the mound. Then they let him walk away. No matter what happens to it, the fucking Chicago Tribune will never be punished enough for their betrayal.

I grew up in a cheap apartment complex in Hong Kong, most of my memories of the 80's to mid 90's involve the destruction of property, fighting, and good ol' fashion fun. I'm experiencing much of popular culture one DVD collection and classic video game anthology at a time.

Not to mention Wikipedia, I couldn't call myself educated if I didn't know who Jem and the Holograms were.

I was born in '87 so I grew up in the mid 90s and early 2000's. I did live the first 6 years of my life in Russia so I grew up on old Disney cartoons (I think it was an hour or two every Sunday evening) and Toei Animation's Puss in Boots (my first taste of anime).

I have an older brother so I remember when MTV played Bevis and Butthead, Prodigy, and Snoop Dogg (when he still rapped).

CARTRIDGES! (blow that shit before putting it in to make it work better) - Remember reloading your NES game like 10 times and celebrating once it worked?

Anyone else remember that movie about the autistic kid who played video games, loved dinosaurs and wins that NES Mario tournament? Totally forget the name atm...

Nowadays, all disabled kids basically have an IQ lower than Britney Spears or Paris Hilton in shows and movies.

I remember upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 and then 98 and how much of an improvement 95 was over 3.1.

I also remember D&D 3e being released in 2000 and me looking at it skeptically but going with the change.

Also? Rocco's Modern Life.

fohfoh · « **Reply #13 on:** November 20, 2009, 09:16:06 AM »

Never Ending Story anyone?

I recall watching Fraggle rock and laughing because they showed Toes.

88' here.

i remember my very first computer. NEC APC IV. DOS 3.3. 286; with a 20MB RLL hard drive.(Looong before you kiddies got IDE). a 1MB memory ISA card longer than than todays high end graphics card. I remember i ruined it by running RECOVER. Lol.

Back in that day hard drives weren't auto detected; and everything was based on about a bazillion jumpers on the motherboard . You '95+ whipper-snappers have it good.

The cartoons and TV shows of the old days are always subject to the Nostalgia Filter, so they may or may not be as good as modern works. But the changes in technology and computing are undeniable, and not just in the Internet / connectivity, either. I was born in '81, so I remember playing around on an Apple II greenscreen and 5 1/4" floppy disks. Now I'm (making attempts at) watching HD anime stored on terabytes'* worth of hard drive space. And that's after going through a primitive DOS GUI on a 286PC, Windows 95 on a couple of machines in the mid-90s, and Windows 98 on my previous PC (2000-2005, R.I.P.). Still haven't moved beyond XP.

Console and PC gaming have undergone similar shifts as well. Music-wise, I still have cassette tapes recorded off vinyl records from my parents' collection or the library in the mid-90s, as well as commercial cassettes, CDs, and .mp3s.

I still do that, although mainly with my SNES. Although mine's a 2nd-model SNES I bought in 1999, not the original one my brother and I got way back in '91. I don't keep up with the times in gaming though -- I don't have any consoles newer than PS1/N64, and I don't play PC games more advanced than Starcraft and various visual novels.

Oh, and the movie you're looking for is The Wizard. "I love the Power Glove, it's so bad."

*I don't think we even knew what a terabyte was back then. I'd heard of terawatts from Star Trek:TNG, but terabytes may as well have been ridiculous imaginary numbers like "gazillions."

1990 child here, and this topic is awesome.

I remember a lot of stuff that most of you guys won't know as its English, but I remember the days that Saturday morning tv was worth watching- Live and Kicking, CD:UK and SM:TV and Digit. The day I got mega excited because Sailor Moon played on terrestrial tv (they only had the rights to play the first 13 episodes though, lol!) the days of Cable and Wireless with a choice of about 30 channels, the amount of times that British Bulldog was banned in schools.

Childhood was awesome. There was an article the beeb did a while back about a 13 year old using a tape player. He'd never even seen one before hand (spoilt brat had an ipod touch). I was amazed. When I was 15 I still had a tape player to take to school with me!

The Brave Little Toaster! Awesome film! My nan bought me a copy when I was about 4 (second hand as well, lol) and I still have and watch the damned thing now, 15 years later

And Never Ending Story. I will download and watch that again because I think my mum threw the videos out.

I was born in 88' but it seems we went through a pretty identical steps in technology; except instead of apple II i was messing with the good old Commodore 64. Still have that same commodore 64 too; and it works fine. I think back then goods quality was somewhat better than today

The first computer I ever used was an Apple. I don't know what model it was. I just know it was a DOS set up that my dad bought for like 2 grand.

Windows 3.1, 95, 98/SE... Toyed with all of those. Skipped ME and 2000. XP, Vista and 7.

I also used those iMac fuckers in Jr High. You know those ones that looked like an Easter egg fused with a grape? (or awkwardly shaped apple) I HATED those things. I hated that shit more than I hated BSOD. (ah... thank you Kazaa for teaching me well) I did briefly delve into OSX. While I admit OSX is stable and decent, it's too basic for me.

Toyed with Ubuntu at 6,7 and 9.
Technology goes too fast.

Console wise... first one I owned was a Game Boy Classic. (THE brick) back when that thing was still approximately $1000 or something like that. (like... fucking new). I owned a GBC, Game Boy Light (indigoooooooooooooo ooo light to play in the dark!), GBA, DS and PSP. I also own a SNES, N64, Xbox360 and a Wii.

Indiglo backlit watches, remember those? Those were the shit!

Tear-aways. No one remembers those.

Creepy crawlers? melt plastic in a thing!

But seriously... pre 1995 was the good days before moronic parents went rampant and started suing the shit out of everything.

85 - Happy memories doing the washing up to Dave Pierce's dance anthems for some good cheesy trance, Gangasta's Paradise being in the charts for 20 weeks or something... Lego was actually good and not a castle made out of five bricks. Music was in it's golden age, the rise of Trip Hop, rave culture and dance music... Compilation tapes on walkmans the size of bricks...

I could happily forget about saved by the bell.... Bring on thundercats, dangermouse, he-man... And Top gun and the Labyrinth.

Games were actually good back then too, Dune 2... aaaah,

things will never be the same again. And Oh my god, kids after 95.... are too young to think about.
