I've been watching I Love the 90s shows on VH-1.
I was amused by I Love the 70s run. I remember the 70s. They were amusing.
I was addicted to I Love the 80s and I Love the 80s Strikes Back. I came of age in the 80s. I absorbed the 80s. I sometimes continue to live in the 80s.
But the 90s? I became a parent in the 90s. Consequently, I wasn't paying attention to pop culture at all times. The Big Lebowski? Never saw it. Master P? Never knew 'im. If I knew who Laura Palmer was, I might care about who killed her. The Real World, The Bodyguard, Billy Ray Cyrus? I paid no attention. Point Break? Is that the crappy movie that featured Keanu Reeves yelling "I... am an F...B...I...agent!"? It sucked. Kris Kross never made me jump. I never played Mortal Kombat. Polly Pockets? I thought those were brand new.
I never knew how to dance the Macarena. I never rode "the train." Manolo Blahniks? Was that a person, a place, or a thing? I was too busy studying for the bar exam, and being a Laker fan, to notice that Michael Jordan was about to win 6 rings in 8 years. The 90s were the years that KROQ began to suck. I cannot wax nostalgic for the 90s. It's too recent, and I wasn't paying much attention in the first place.
Now, however, I try to keep my finger on the pulse. Here's another list of cool, strange or interesting stuff I've found on the web. In ten years, you might be watching it on I Love the 00s.
First, some monkey stuff:
A stupid fake monkey video.
The dance of the sea monkeys. They don't really look much like monkeys, do they?
