Subject: Thinking '90s

When do you think people started "thinking '90s", to a degree? I'm going to say about 1988, with the aftermath of Black Monday and the release of alot more socially conscious movies, and the beginnings of the mainstreaming of hip-hop and alternative rock.

This sounded like a very Donnie Darko question ::)
If your definition of 'thinking 90s' is socially-conscious media, than possibly at the end of the Cold War - the Post Cold War society (although the USSR did not technically break up in 91, it was dead from the early 80s), where issues such as environmentalism, world hunger.etc began to take over from fears of a nuclear holocaust. It seems those old Cold War fears are re-surfacing in the fear of terror, arms paranoia.etc

You and the "smileys." ;)
I think people started "thinking more '90s" in 1988 or so.
