Fuller House, a new Independence Day, the X-Files and Fresh Prince of Bel Air being rebooted, and new a Space Jam sequel show us that '90s nostalgia is all the rage.  Question is, has it jumped the shark yet and if not, will it soon?  Honestly, I think the '90s nostalgia is becoming so over-saturated in our media that is losing its appeal, and I really enjoyed '90s culture back in the day.  There were a lot of things that were amazing during the '90s but should stay there. Thoughts?

Yes. If you simply search up "1990s", you'll know that the decade is already overrated. While I do like the decade, it's not really as special as the 2000s to me.

I like the '90s.  They were better than the 2000s prior to around 2007.  However, that doesn't mean everything that was popular in the '90s needs to be brought to the 2010s.

True. But 90s nostalgia already had overrated sh*t being popular, since its rise in the late 2000s. Not even 2000s nostalgia is the same as looking up '90s nostalgia.

Early 00's nostalgia is almost as big 90's nostalgia as of today. Just type in Early 2000s as I get tons of articles, images, videos, music, results etc of people being nostalgic of the time period.

To answer the question directly I think it's gotten very much out of hand. Too many movies, products, cartoons, music stations, comics and other things that seem to be made just to appeal to the 90's nostalgia that people have. The over saturation of things from the 1990s pretty much ruined the appeal of the decade for me. The 1990s isn't bad, but I'd rather things stay original. 1990s was cool since a lot of things were original and same goes for decades before it. To make the 2010s awesome it'd have to be original and not a faux-1990s. Overly nostalgic people will complain and say things like "I wish things were like the '90s", but if things just stayed the same as they were in the '90s then no progression in creativity is made.

I wouldn't say so just yet. We haven't had broad historical retrospectives on the decade just yet, most oldies/classic hit stations only play a stray song here and there, and what's coming out like the OJ Simpson TV series is seen as intriguing, while Fuller House is an interesting look. The technological changes is another draw and is still recent enough for the "I miss the '90s as they were a simpler time without cellphones everywhere, longer attention spans, and less of a Big Brother atmosphere." Compare this to the '70s/'80s where all of the popular stuff like Atari/NES, John Hughes movies, and retro fashions has been run into the ground and the classic hit stations have relegated their playlists to songs of the least common denominator, even though there is still lots of stuff from those decades that has been long forgotten yet still gets to be discovered and enjoyed, plus the people who from that generation who experienced it aren't too terribly old yet like those who lived through the '60s and earlier. Simply searching "1990s" is unfair since you expect references to that decade to pop up. To many, some 1990s trends never really went away, like Power Rangers, Pokemon, TMNT (lots of online fan creations during the franchise's dark period in the late '90s/early '00s), the Clintons, political correctness, casual fashions, and much more, which gives a lingering "too soon" notion among some of the older generation (mostly the over 40 crowd).

People in the 1990s were complaining about a faux 1970s and while there was a bunch of nostalgia for that decade, it was only on the side and you still had the unique '90s culture around.

And the '90s were certainly better than the 2000s decade: better economy, MUCH better television, better movies, better fashion, and higher optimism and a neo-'60s free-spirited attitude.

I don't think that would help the 2010s stay original, or at least it would be. But to be fair, everything to me in this decade was like the '90s. Seriously, you can't go anywhere without people saying how cool the 90s/early 00s were. It's just bad, in my opinion. But it's maybe because I was a 90s baby, and that remembering them is oblivious to me.

Even if I remember an era I don't think I'd want the decades to feel like the eras I remember. I'd want to experience new decades with new culture. Not a new decade that's just continuing what an old decade did. Making something that appeals to nostalgia isn't bad at all. Every decade has things like that. But the 2010s is the first decade that I think this nostalgia pandering has gotten worse. I don't like the fact that I can't go anywhere on the internet without seeing some people talking about the 1990s. Around 50% of things I see on the internet are just people talking about fashion, music, movies, games, toys, cartoons, food, activities or whatever else from the 1990s. Back in the 2000s the nostalgia for the 1980s was not this bad even on the internet.

The 80s weren't even that bad, nostalgia-wise. You did have some media set in the 80s back then, but it wasn't godawful. The 90s on the other hand is just pandered so much to crazily nostalgic people these days.

Most the new stuff has been good, so I'm not complaining. I also have two 10 year old sisters, so it's fun to see a new generation of kids enjoy the same things I did when I was growing up. I get to talk to them about it too and not have them roll their eyes in boredom  ;D

They should enjoy more original things.

Good thing there isn't a limit on how many things you can enjoy  ;) a lot of original 2010s cartoons, movies and music that the kids and I love.

Okay then.  ;)

I think the reason why there is more nostalgia in the 2010's (especially the 90's nostalgia), compared to the previous decades, is probably because the 2010's didn't produce much good pop culture. That's why I think the 2010's are an underrated decade, at least to people that I know, since some don't like it and others saying that this decade is OK.

I think the 2010s are one of the most overrated decades ever. A lot of people keep praising on a decade that had three shootings in 2012, several celebrities dying, so many sh*tty 90s reboots, etc. It's not even good to start with. So we're probably in the minority of saying that the 2010s suck.

I'm surprised you brought this up. I actually hear most people say that the 2000's didn't produce much good pop culture circa 2004-2009 and they say that the 2000's was the underrated decade, since most of the 2000's didn't have a cultural identity like previous decades such as the 90's, 80's, 70's, etc. and it's even debatable that the 2010's have more of a cultural identity than the 2000's did.

At least in the 2010's we didn't have every baby born in this decade being conjoined twins, a massive flow of bees, wasps and mosquitoes hitting every big city in the world, a economic depression even worse than the 1930's depression, a big comet or asteroid crashes on earth, etc.

I would say so without a doubt. People are getting a bit tired of the 90's nostalgia that has been mainstream since 2013.

It's important to stay optimistic.

I think it's actually more the fact that many 80s borns and some 90s borns are more nostalgic for their childhoods than previous generations were and are having difficulty leaving it behind.  It might be possible that it's because this generation has entered adulthood in a time where the nation's economic well being is below what it was when they were growing up.  Not sure, but that might be a part of it.

2010's has a cultural identity to me. It's easy to see how this decade is distinct from from previous decades in terms of pop culture. New cultural trends and innovations that give this decade it's own feel.

This is what I assumed as well. Every decade will have people that're nostalgic for it. Nostalgia never goes away as you'll always have people wanting to go back to a certain time. By the 2030s I can see many people being nostalgic for all the great things from the 2010s.

Fuller House, a new Independence Day, the X-Files and Fresh Prince of Bel Air being rebooted, and new a Space Jam sequel show us that '90s nostalgia is all the rage.  Question is, has it jumped the shark yet and if not, will it soon?  Honestly, I think the '90s nostalgia is becoming so over-saturated in our media that is losing its appeal, and I really enjoyed '90s culture back in the day.  There were a lot of things that were amazing during the '90s but should stay there.

It's getting pretty unbearable, and this is coming from a consummate "nineties kid" that is an apologist for just about everything that came out during that decade, no matter how crappy. The fact that people are now actually pretending that stuff like Full House and Space Jam was quality entertainment shows just how far past the proverbial shark we've jumped.

But, it probably won't last much longer, though. The fact that we're already starting to see early signs of "early '00s nostalgia" popping up online shows that 2000's nostalgia is becoming a real thing. By the time we get to, like, 2022 or so, everybody will probably be reminiscing over Avril Lavigne and Linkin Park, while the '90s will have officially joined the '80s in the "too old to be retro cool" category.

He didn't say the 2010s didn't have a strong cultural identity, he was saying the 2000s lacked a strong cultural identity.....

Yes. If you simply search up "1990s", you'll know that the decade is already overrated. While I do like the decade, it's not really as special as the 2000s to me.

I agree, the 2000s are better. But I may be biased because that's when I grew up.

Early 2000s nostalgia is huge now. It's may not be evident with trends but it is nostalgic to people I talked to.

It seems to be more of an offline thing than an online thing, ironically. I don't see many Buzzfeed articles on it, but if you play Avril Lavigne or NSYNC at a party you get tears of joy. I also always play Mario Party 2 whenever my friends come over. It is now a tradition!  ;D But I don't see many online articles about these things.

I think it's both an offline and online thing. If you searched up "Early 2000s shows" or "Early 2000s hits" on YouTube, you would get like tons of playlists that have a hundred videos in them.

Well, it's not like a lot of companies care about reviving the early 2000s now. They'll rather use the 20-year nostalgia method instead.

Good point. Maybe I mean to say it hasn't been commercialized yet.


Yeah, it isn't commercialized just yet, but in when it comes to offline/online popularity I do see quite a bit of early 00's nostalgia. Within a few more years I'd figure that early 00's nostalgia would be commercialized.

He didn't say the 2010s didn't have a strong cultural identity, he was saying the 2000s lacked a strong cultural identity.....


I know that's what he was saying. It was just agreeing as I was stating that because of the 2010's cultural identity it's easy to see how it differs from previous decades.

Heck you can just type in "Early 2000s" on google and you'll get a ton of results that have people being nostalgic for the time period. People talking about the fashion, shows, music, games, commercials, movies and more. First time I started seeing early 00's nostalgia was back in 2013. As the years go one nostalgia seems to be getting popular. By the early 2020s I wouldn't be surprised if early 00's (and maybe even mid 00's) nostalgia ended up getting huge.

You know, early 2000s nostalgia has been around for three years, and I barely see any mid 2000s nostalgia to this day. It's 2016 and barely anyone cared about 2004-2006. I know that it barely has any cultural identity, but the era is more than 10 years old. So, there's something going on with that.

Probably just needs a bit more time. I don't know how nostalgia works within the mainstream audience. I see some 2004 nostalgia, but that's about it as of 2016. Maybe we'll have to wait a bit longer. People who mainly grew up in the mid '00s will probably be nostalgic for the era by the time they enter age 20+. Or at least that's my assumption anyways.

If you go on any YouTube music video before 2013, there will be many comments saying "I miss this year", "music was better then", etc.

Yeah, I do notice that on late 2000s videos from YouTube. It's not just music videos, it's pretty much every popular video from 2007-2009. But I think they do that, because that's when YouTube used to be good. Before people used Google+, YouTube seemed awesome. You didn't have any ads pop up on YouTube (unless they were Partners), you saw a diversity of cool videos (not just music, Vines, or gaming), and most YouTubers would get over a million views just for uploading videos. That used to be special back then. But ever since Google+, people had these weird communities that f*cked up the site. Nowadays, you have to do something that's gaming or Vine related in order to be YouTube famous. It's really sad, because a lot of people weren't crazy as f*ck back then.

I miss when you could post things on YouTube without it being broadcasted to your entire social media network.  I also refuse to comment on news articles that use Facebook as their commenting platform, because I don't want my entire friends list seeing everything I do.  I don't know why Google and Zuckerberg & Co don't realize that not everybody wants their entire lives out there for everyone to see.  Then again, I guess you could say it has helped stem Internet bullying.

It used to be better when people used fake names as their usernames. It didn't reveal a lot of information about you and it made you mysterious. But because we have sites like Facebook, people could go and look at your profile to seek embarrassing things about you. Not to mention that people usually put their real-life selves as their profile pics on Facebook. So, it's not good to be addicted towards Facebook. I'm not saying it's sinful, but Facebook is a very vulnerable website.

I don't know how Mark Zuckerberg could think of Facebook as a safe website, when many people who have an account are in danger from hackers. It's why I barely use Facebook, since I find the site to be horrendous. Same with Snapchat and Vine, where people usually take videos in personal locations. Not to mention that you have to be painfully unfunny to amuse their audiences.

Yes, it's still is.

I always disable comments. They don't add anything to the Internet experience in my opinion, not now not ever. There are Chrome/Firefox extensions that do a good job in blocking them, you won't even know that some sites have a comment section.

I use a Chrome extension that removes the comment section. Made youtube much more tolerable to the point where I'd never want to remove the extension.


As for the '90s nostalgia I've noticed that the amount of news going around about the next  X-Men taking place in the 1990s. I'm sitting here thinking "Seriously, people?! You have to have videos and full discussions just because of the fact that the movie is taking place in the 1990s?!"  I barely saw anyone speaking about how the previous movies took place in the '60, '70s, or '80s when they were announced. I swear this 90's nostalgia pandering is annoying as f**k!

Luckily Facebook is slowly dying out.


It'll be replace by the next popular social media app/platform/device in the future.

None of you lie to me, you'd all watch a That '90s Show written by Jerry Seinfeld.

Pfft I remember seeing a joke article on that. I immediately face palmed. Never was the biggest fan of That 70's Show (not a bad show at all, but it never grabbed my interest). And placing it in the 90's wouldn't have made it any better. I'd just see it as something that would pander to nostalgia....like pretty much everything else that either takes place in the '90s or is a sequel/remake/reboot/comeback of something from the '90s.

Although it's funny as That 70's show was created in the 1990s which was a decade where people were nostalgic for the 1970s. Old nostalgia pandering.

They're having the next X-Men movie taking place in the 90s?! Now this is why I find 90s nostalgia to be the most overrated thing in this decade.

Was thinking the same thing.

Every decade, there's always going to be a nostalgia for 2 decades behind the present decade, so this means that people were nostalgic for the 50's in the 70's, 60's in the 80's, 70's in the 90's, 80's in the 00's and currently in the 10's, people are nostalgic for the 90's. Eventually, we will have a 00's nostalgia in the 20's, when people will be nostalgic for the 00's. Same thing with the 10's nostalgia in the 30's and the 20's nostalgia in the 40's.

Yeah, but 90s nostalgia just seems way overhyped more than any other decade nostalgia. No one that praised the 50s-80s didn't force their favorite companies to over-commercialize on everything.

Yup, and I noticed the trend of hating the decade directly prior. So in the 90s there was 80s backlash, 00's there was 90s backlash, now 10's there is 00's backlash.

There wasn't a MAJOR backlash against the 90s in the 00s. Maybe 1999 culture, but the true 90s not so much. Well, at least I don't recall a backlash against the core 90s.

Whatever is around 2 decades old people are nostalgic for (doesn't matter if it was good or bad).
Whatever is around 1 decade old people give backlash for (doesn't matter if it was good or bad).
Whatever is current people complain about(again it doesn't matter if it was good or bad).

The annoying cycle.

I've noticed a 90's backlash mainly from adults who grew up in the '70s-'80s. But then again the only ones who were giving backlash to previous decades are usually the overly nostalgic ones that hate everything that isn't from their childhood. In the '00s the 80's nostalgia trend wasn't as bad which in turn didn't make the 90's backlash not seem as bad. The more nostalgia of whatever was 2 decades = more backlash of whatever was 1 decade ago. And everyone just hates whatever is current.

I think it was more prevalent in the first half of the 00's. I remember a lot of people made fun of the Backstreet Boys at that time. There was also a backlash against the fashion during the whole decade of the 00's. I remember in 2007 people said something looked "so 90s" as an insult if it looked ugly.

Backstreet Boys and boy bands in general really.

Yup the millennium era type things... For example, I don't recall backlash against the hip hop or R&b artists from the 90s. A lot of them continued their work until the mid naughties.

Now... the 2000s backlash is DEFINITELY DEFINITELY prevalent. It started as early as 2009. On youtube, In the early 10s people talked ALL KINDS of crap about the decade; particularly the mid-late section!! :o

It'll be replace by the next popular social media app/platform/device in the future.


Whatever that will be.

I think it has now after seeing this trailer......  :o

Disney, along with any other motion picture company, has jumped the shark over everything that was popular during the 90s. I mean, there's a reason why 2000s nostalgia should be more prevalent. It's because of this. Even though it's a bit early to start late 2000s nostalgia, I feel like we should start having more nostalgia on the early-mid 2000s. Besides, 2000-2006 is over 10 years old and nobody gives a single flying f*ck about it. All because 90s nostalgia is still occupying their naive minds, even though there are 90s babies who are nostalgic for a decade that they barely experienced.

I think it's safe to say that it's time to stop with this 90s nostalgia. It's not even like the 90s, where everything wasn't HD and everybody has to watch their movies on VHS tapes. Do I see anybody doing that sh*t today? No. I could even admit that the 2000s were more 90s nostalgic, since everyone was still keeping their VCRs over their memories from the 80s and 90s.

I think the reason why there is more nostalgia in the 2010's (especially the 90's nostalgia), compared to the previous decades, is probably because the 2010's didn't produce much good pop culture. That's why I think the 2010's are an underrated decade, at least to people that I know, since some don't like it and others saying that this decade is OK.
I think it has more to do with the fact that more people were children in the 90s than in the 80s. the 80s and 90s had some of the highest birthrates in this country, whereas the 60s and 70s had one of the lowest.

More like neo Baby Boomers. Since their parents are Baby Boomers.

This! During those decades, the birthrate was so high that it made it to 4 million for 5 years while the rest were very close and the fact there were many teen pregnancies.

There is another name for that, but we're called the Echo Boomers as this generation had almost the same amount of people as the original Boomers.

Yeah, Echo Boomers were the original name of the Millennial generation before Neil Howe published the book "Millennials Rising".

This is some really interesting data. One thing that it shows is that the so-called "Baby Bust" during the Gen X birth years wasn't quite as bad as some folks say it was, and didn't really become a serious problem until the mid 1970's. It also seems to indicate that the "Echo Boom" of the 1980's didn't really hit it's stride until the early '90s. 1989 was the first year with more than 4 million births since 1964, which is usually cited as the traditional end of the Baby Boom generation.

Early 90s babies are going to rule the world. You guys thought 90s nostalgia was bad? You haven't seen anything yet, there will be Y2K era nostalgia till the end of time :P

Seeing so many babies born in the late 2000s is awesome too. Imagine how huge the 2010s nostalgia will be  :D

It's sad for them because when they're old enough to be teens, they'll find a bunch of cartoon reviewers who praise their favorite childhood cartoons sexually. My Little Pony: FIM is a great example on that, if there was little girls.

Damn, I always tease my 10-year old sister for watching MLP by saying "this show is not for kids, it's for grown men!" but now I'm scared for when she discovers why :o

Not all bronies are furries though.

You shouldn't really say about that to her, since her childhood would be ruined if she looked that up.
