So... do you watch like any TV aimed at people above 12?

aww did i hurt your feelings, because thats all you watch all day!!!

CAN'T YOU READ. I said I watch REALITY TV. I always like to see what is going on with culture including tv and radio. Its always good to know even if you don't like it. just like how highschoolers like yourself Like Lady gaga and britney spears, I DON'T but i atleast know about them.

So do you like any music artist thats not a generic puppet??

For your information I am a sophomore in college and I do like more artists than Lady Gaga. Although I feel stupid for entertaining you. I will. I don't like any artists that are generic puppets, ever heard of Patti Smith? New Order? Bowie? Hole? Fiona Apple? Just a few of my favorite artists that would probly be deemed non 'generic' by you.

No you didn't hurt my feelings, you made me scratch my head that you would call sponge bob that. Don't talk down to me while you make idiotic jokes like that.

Also reality TV? I thought I asked you if you watched TV aimed at people over 12 years old, stating you like reality tv is not proving your case.

you should feel stupid, for responding to my posts with those weak ass gif pics and youtube videos.

Is there any reality tv thats not aimed at people over 12 years?????? USE YOUR BRAIN.

You were basically trying to be a smart ass as usual, so if im talking down to you, its because of that.

Obviously I was comparing the new kids shows to the old kid shows that I watched as a kid. I have younger cousins who actually watch that new crap, so I do know about it. I actually flip through cable channels like most people and just see whats going on. I know about Highschool musical/Hanna Montanna but I don't watch that crap. Acting as if you don't know about those shows when you do.

Don't scratch your head, just leave my posts the fuck alone, I notice you are always responding to me or posts about me. its like you want my attention. But Im DONE WITH YOU. So basically that means move the fuck on.

I don't miss them at all. With the exception of the house music in the gay clubs, they were the beginning of the end of good music. And what's worse, the oldies stations back then weren't 70s and 80s stations like they are now, they were 50s stations so there was no good radio period which meant leaving the radio on current stations (at work) and being depressed as hell from hearing how dull the mainstream had become.

Plus, I was at a convenience store job that I hated for almost the entire 1990s. I had also just come out of the closet in 1990 so trade was new to me and I didn't know what dangerous lowlifes they were so I was in many a dangerous and life threatening situation in those early years of discovering the scene.

Good riddance to the 1990s. The 2000s have been much better. I'm older, stronger, wiser, and in a job that I don't hate for the last 12 years. As for the music, yes, the music got even worse in the 2000s but it was already horrible in the 1990s so that was nothing new. And even the good underground gay house music became extinct also (which was really a damn shame) but at least there are decent oldies stations now to where I don't have to ever be exposed to horrible sounding current mainstream music again like I was in the 1990s.

I used to listen to oldies 100 during the late 90s. They played doo-wop I loved it.

Goosh its so strange to hear someone dislike the 90s, when a lot of people miss and love it. LOLOLOL... I guess maybe if you were a kid/teen, you would have enjoyed it more.

I actually like how the 90s were laid back and so was the music. Did you like TLC, Spice Girls, Janet Jackson???? Did you like any artist during the 90s???

The fact that they were laid back is the reason I hated them. I like things jumpin'.

I didn't care for TLC much at all, I hated The Spice Girls, and I dropped Janet Jackson's album beginning with her first album of the 1990s. It was kind of the transition period between the dance era of the early 1990s and the shit hop era and all the midtempo stuff and those horrible sounding drum machines were just starting to come on the scene. I absolutely hated Scarey J. Blige's "Real Love" simply for the way those drum machines sounded.

As for Janet, with things first starting to kinda change, all it would have took was a huge star like her at the time to come out with a strong album like she previously had with "Rhythm Nation" to kinda snap things back together and others would have followed suit. Lord knows, her next album was highly anticipated by everyone so she definitely could have made a difference. Instead, her lead single to her newest album was a horrible midtempo song called "That's The Way Love Goes" with those horrible sounding drum machines like the newcomers were using. Instead of trying to beat the enemy, she joined them. Then she got those big ass thick shit hop looking braids that looked like ropes in her hair and started wearing those baggy jeans with her underwear showing in the videos. She had full fledged gone in a completely different direction doing what the dead asses were doing at the time and I dropped her ass like a hotcake immediately.

Which artists did I like during the 1990s? Martha Wash, Black Box, The 49ers, Ce Ce Penniston, Crystal Waters, M People, Robin S., Jomanda, Brothers in Rhythm, Cajmere, Cartouche, Latour, La Bouche, Planet Soul, Musto and Bones, Right Said Fred, RuPaul, B Angie B, MC Hammer, Luke and The Two Live Crew, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Duice, 95 South, Dis N Dat, 69 Boyz, Quad City DJs, Tag Team, The Dogs....and anything else that kept the asses shakin'. I've always hated music that you just simply "chill" to and the 1990s (mainstream) was "The Big Chill" that mainstream never recovered from.

I agree. I love that martha wash song Everybody.. Evverybody.. Everybody.. EVVVerbody

I was a young kid back then so i didnt like chill music. Anything chill and jazzy was "old people music" to me

vainandy: I LOVE a lot of those dance artists music you mentioned. I don't know about the US aside from the clubs, but in Canada, dance music was huge on the charts throughout the decade. I preferred that over R&B too though I was a huge r&b lvoer anyways, though towards the end of the decade, the dance music was becoming lame and I liked it if they were remixes of current r&b/pop songs by the second half of the 90's. I liked Real McCoy, Fun Factory, Culture Shock, 2 Unlimited, 2 Brothers on the 4th floor, DJ Bobo, Crystal Waters, La Bouche, RuPaul (that I still sing around the house), Whigfield, Darkness. Was fun being a 90's kid, but the 80's will still always be my favourite decade, even if I was young. I get so irritated if people my age don't get it, I like 80's and 90's, but they just like 90's and if they like 80's, they appreciate MJ and some Madonna at most when there is so much more to it.

EASY LIFE FOR SURE

All most of my favorite Prince albums are from this decade...Diamonds&Pearls, Come, Gold Experience, Emancipation....

JoeTyler said:

I have a soft spot for this decade, I was so young back then, easy life, good movies, good music...

grunge, modern metal, acid house, rave, late-new jack swing, rap, hip/hop, well crafted pop, brit-pop, techno, trip-hop, industrial, jungle, R&B, drum&bass, acid jazz, good one hit wonders, etc.

last great era of music?

where are my fellow 90's lovers?

If we're talking about music, I still listen to music mostly from 1990-93. Within that timeline, the genres new jack swing, house (mostly from Chicago), techno (mostly from Detriot), hip-house, acid jazz, dance-pop, & latin freestyle (NYC & Miami) were still in effect. There was also so many difference types of hip-hop/rap music to choose from.

Timmy84 said:

I'm a '90s child and I'll be one until they bury me deep in the ground face down.

Right Timmyboy.

I was a child and grew into my formative teen years through the 90's....ended the era at 16 when I graduated high school. And even though I think the 80's teens had fun...I had fun in the 90's as a teen as well. I still watch 90's Tv shows, listen to 90's music....hell I've held on to my favourite denim overalls, flannel lumberjack shirts, baby doll dresses and doc. marten boots.

A couple of birthdays ago I had a 90's themed bday party and it was most of my friends from high school in attendance..and 2011 disappeared... we were back there again...young..without a care in the world.

I have only fond memories of that era.

I hate the 90ies. The 70ies and especially the 80ies were so much better. The 90ies started well with grunge, but it went downhill from there very fast. Too much gangsta shithop, boygroups and plastic acts like Britney Spears. Never before were so many talentless idiots in the charts. And here in europe we had that god awful eurodance and techno-shit. It was the decade were DJ's became bigger stars than musicians. What a disgrace.

Chill-Out music was for people that needed to calm themselves down after too many hits of that MDMA! The genres trip-hop & ambient serves those purposes in the chill-out rooms of some raves.

EXACTLY!!!!! AMEN dammitt!!!

I have always said that beginning with the 1990s, that's when music started going backwards instead of forwards. I mean, hell, it took swing music and later, rock and roll music to get people out of that "everything slow" mode and put rhythm in the music and the 1990s come along and undo all the progress that was made from probably the 1940s on up through the 1980s.

That's why it gets on my nerves when I hear people say..."Every generation hates the new generation's music, that's just part of getting older"....because that's not the case at all. The previous generations hated new music because it got faster and got rhythm in it which they considered "the work of the devil" and they also didn't like profanity and stuff like that. Well, hell, I love rhythm and as far as profanity goes, hell, the nastier the better so that's not my beef at all. And I wasn't in my 30s or 40s when I started hating current music. When I first started noticing it changing and going backwards was when Shitney and all the "parent friendly" folks came on the scene in the mid to late 1980s and I was in my late teens at the time. And I was in my 20s when the 1990s came along and everything mainstream became slow and never got past midtempo. Now, the only people that would consider people in their 20s as simply just "getting older", would be the hillbillies who get married at age 13. It really trips me out when I hear folks say "you're just getting older" because they really have no clue. They're the ones listening to nothing but music that never gets faster than Lawrence Welk, not me.

I miss the 90's too, there won't ever be another decade like it....

I loved the "dance" music scene of the early 1990s. "Dance" is what they used to call it when some of it became above ground at the time. What really used to trip me out, as well as piss me off, is that the majority of those artists were black and the music was a very rhythmic type of music (not like what later became acid or trance) but the black stations in my area played very little of it. The white stations seemed to play a lot of it, especially on Saturday nights when they would have mix shows. The black stations continued on with more of those rhythmless Shitney Houston "parent friendly" inspired acts and then later, shit hop which was just as slow and dull except it was what filled the rebellion void that was left when these parent friendly groups took over. With the black stations (at least the ones in my area), with the exception of only a handful of songs, it's as if the "dance" music era of the early 1990s didn't even exist while the white stations were pumping up this genre with 90% black artists and jamming on certain nights. It was like role reversal. Hell, I didn't know what to expect next from black radio at the time...black polka music maybe, yodelling, accordions?

The 1990s is the decade that took everything stylish out and just threw it away. The more plain and ordinary an artist looked, the more they liked it.

I was always more into R&B than pop/rock but I still liked pop/rock in previous decades so when R&B radio turned into a Lawrence Welk type snoozefest, I took the R&B stations off my dial and added the pop/rock stations. What I hated about the pop side of the music scene of the 1990s is that stripped down accoustical music started becoming extremely popular. "Unplugged" music as they used to call it. Hell, with no drums and bass and just someone sitting on a stool playing a damn accoustical guitar, it sounded like folk music and I can't think of anything that sounds worse than folk music. I'd almost rather listen to Shitney Houston than folk music. It became very apparent what was going on in both the R&B and pop side of the fence when I finally found out that record labels were merging and becoming monopolies. They were pushing shit hop, which was stripped of all musical instruments except a weak sounding drum machine and a turntable sample to the R&B crowd, and they were pushing accoustical which was stripped of all musical instruments except an accoustical guitar to the pop crowd. They were cutting corners every way they could and trying to get people's tastes to adapt to the cheapest made music possible so they could make the biggest profit possible. They were trying to get people away from shopping on Rodeo Drive and make them adapt to shopping at Walmart or the Dollar General Store.

Anybody else loved the TV show My So Called Life? It is the perfect capture of a teenager int he 90s, I get so nostalgic when I watch it.

That was actually a pretty good show that ended way too soon.

Yeah the writting on the show was so brilliant, 15 years after that show was on and I'm still devastated there is no season 2.

I hated the '90s. If I could send you my share, you'd be more than welcome to it.
