What do you remember of 1996?

What do you remember as being big in movies?

Fashion trends?

Pop culture in general?

The election of 1996?

Music?

TV?

What separates 1996 for you from 1995 and 1997, and perhaps the rest of the '90s? What things are unique to 1996?

A video summarizing the year:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQx_qW22tJA

This is, in my opinion, the first year of the "iconic" '90s.

Biggest movies of that year are "Mission Impossible", "Scream", "Independence Day", "Jerry Maguire", "Fargo", "Romeo + Juliet", "The Nutty Professor", "Matilda", "Space Jam", and "Swingers".

Clothing-wise, there was the 1960's Mod revival styles and 1970's Disco revival styles. Women's fashion leaned more toward the '60s, whereas men's fashion leaned more toward the '70s. Clothes became more colorful in this year. Grunge was on it's last legs. Denim was hot. Plaid was still very big that year, and chunky shoes were all the rage. A lot of women had the flip hairstyle. Men had a bunch of hairstyles, mostly the caesar haircut or the curtained haircut.

Television, Party of Five was cool; 7th Heaven premiered their first season on The WB, Buffy the Vampire Slayer started filming their first season, F.R.I.E.N.D.S. was at it's peak (although it's popularity remained rather consistent); Sienfeld was on it's second last season. There was a really good kid's show on Nickelodeon called "The Secret Life of Alex Mack" which entered it's third season that year.

Musically, there was a lot of dance music, Gangsta rap, East coast/West coast hip-hop, ballads, alternative rock music, and various forms of R&B. It was the most successful calendar year of the 1990s on the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot 100 Airplay charts. A lot of popular late '90s artists debuted this year. The '70s became cool again in the music scene, especially in R&B and Hip-Hop. It started with the singer Maxwell and his hit song "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)". This song also popularized neo-soul (a genre that would prove very popular in the late '90s). No Doubt broke into the mainstream this year, and popularized ska rock along with them, which would pave the way for bands such as Smash Mouth and Sugar Ray. Quite possibly the most interesting year of the decade for music.

Overall, with all of this, I could say that 1996 began the late '90s. Calendar-wise it's a middle year, but it's so similar to the late '90s and even the very early 2000's. To me, 1996 was the year that it all changed. It's so much more like 1999 than it is like 1993. This is my favorite year of the '90s in every element of American popular culture and I consider it the most important year of the 1990s.

Personally, one of the best years of the 90s.

The internet definitely became a big deal, even though not everyone had it.

:o :o :o

Together with 1995, 1996 was the peak of my childhood. 1996/97 was my last elementary school year, and everything was happy.
I have often read the term "online", but I didn't really know what it was in 1996.

:o :o :o


Of course, the best years of the 90s were the early 90s!  ;D

The internet definitely became a big deal, even though not everyone had it.

and most people didn't know what a WWW was.

I'd take eye blinding neon pink, blue, orange, purple and green over all of the flannel worn in the mid 90s, wouldn't you? I like happy colors and pants.

:o :o :o


;D  ;D

This was arguably one of the biggest moments of the year!! Changed the business forever, and started the second wrestling boom!!

So you think the late 90s represent the 90s the best?! Ok, to each his own. I still think that the mid 90s was the heart of the decade. People a decade older than me that I have talked to obviously say the same thing!! BTW, I just would not lump in 96 with the late 90s years ;) that's just my two cents brother!

The year Hulk Hogan turned heel.

http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32900000/everybody-loves-raymond-everybody-loves-raymond-32992734-389-272.jpg

Everybody Loves Raymond

Why do I have the feeling that threads for years 1997, 1998 and 1999 won't be too far behind?  ::)

The year Hulk Hogan turned heel.

That was when the NWO was formed wasn't it? I remember they were the dominating group in wrestling for a couple years. I don't remember when the Wolf Pack part of it was created, I just know it was huge!

Yep, The NWO was so huge in 1996, they dominated for a few years till they dissipated in 1999, they re-united in 2002.

Before you know it, we'll see a thread with the title "Is 1996 old yet?"(AKA "Can 1996 Be Old, Please?) by who else but a young millennial.  ;D

That's true. Probably all threads like this have an imaginary questionmark somewhere, if they were started by somebody very young (and only barely remembered that year). To be honest, I already wanted 1986 to be old as early as 1999, but that was a bit laughable back then ;)

Before you know it, we'll see a thread with the title "Is 1996 old yet"(AKA "Can 1996 Be Old, Please?) by who else but a young millennial.  ;D


That won't happen for another few years.

That won't happen for another few years.


1996 will be 20 years next year. Maybe next year?

In 1996 I was 5 years old and what I remember from this year in regards to pop culture are as follows

Music: Fugees Ready or Not and Killing me softly, Toni Braxton- Un Break my heart, Ginuwine- Pony, Az Yet- Last Night, Babyface- Everytime I close my eyes.

Movies: James and the giant peach(I remember going to the cinemas to see this with my dad), I remember seeing one ad spot on tv for All dogs go to heaven 2, HomeWard Bound 2 Lost in San Francisco(I was remember I was suppose to see this film with my mom one evening, but something came up so I couldn't see I again and I ended up getting that movie on VHS later that year) and Space Jam which came out later that year as I was entering Kindergarten.

Worldwide events: 1996 Atlanta Olympics I was a small child when this was going on so I wouldn't have paid nearly as much attention to I as my parents, but I do remember my parents tuning I to watch it.

Video games: I remember in my apartment at the time we often played Sega genesis and I got a Super Nintendo later on that year for Christmas.

Cartoons and tv shows: I was a big into Cartoon Network and PBS and watched shows like Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Garfield and I remember seeing the premier of Dexter's Lab that year. For PBS I watched Wishbone, Where on earth is Carmen San Diego?, Bill Nye the Science guy, old Shining Time Station episodes. I also watched cartoons on Disney channel at the time like Timon and Pumba.

Before you know it, we'll see a thread with the title "Is 1996 old yet?"(AKA "Can 1996 Be Old, Please?) by who else but a young millennial.  ;D


"I'm heading at lightning speed toward middle age and I hate everyone who is younger than me! Oh, Ronniebear, how I wish I could lick the sweat of your brow for you back in 1985. Oh, dear Ronniebear. How I miss you."

"I'm heading at lightning speed toward middle age and I hate everyone who is younger than me! Oh, Ronniebear, how I wish I could lick the sweat of your brow for you back in 1985. Oh, dear Ronniebear. How I miss you."


Like most people alive, I'd take 1985 over 1996 anyday! The mid and late 90s were a TRAVESTY!!!
Thank the Blessed Earth they are gone!

This is how the nwo should have remained!

Katana, I guess I have to keep you up to date:  ;D

Conan I think is now a promoter for Lucha Underground, a Spanish wrestling organization in Mexico

Scott Steiner (Big Poppa Pump) is now a roided up freak after all those steroids in the past he used to take, just recently he wanted to kill Hulk Hogan just because he hates his guts.

April 18th 1996 – In Lebanon, at least 106 civilians are killed when the Israel Defense Forces shell the United Nations compound at Quana where more than 800 civilians had taken refuge.

I remember Atlanta 1996. I think those were the first Olympic Games I am able to recall. The bombing was probably one reason.

1996 will be 20 years next year. Maybe next year?


Nope. The last 20th Century year was 1992.  ;)

Sure.  ::)

So we don't still have the Power Rangers, Playstation and Beanie Babies here in the states?  8)

Case closed.

Yeah Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig and a Crush died! :\'( BTW Konan was the Mexican guy!

BTW, it is cool to see a female wrestling fan!! :)There want too many girls who were into wrestling when I was a little boy, maybe two or three at best!

1996.

I think 96 was indeed the last old school year as well , however 1997 ain't too far ahead!!

Agreed

Biggest movies of that year are "Mission Impossible", "Scream", "Independence Day", "Jerry Maguire", "Fargo", "Romeo + Juliet", "The Nutty Professor", "Matilda", "Space Jam", and "Swingers".

Blockbuster from 1996 everyone always forgets about:

Does he still look like that? I remember when he was in the WWE for a while. From what I hear Hulk Hogan isn't such a great person after some information came out on his family life. His son is a criminal as well.


Yeah Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig and a Crush died! :\'( BTW Konan was the Mexican guy!

So did Macho Man, and Eddie Guerrero who was part of LWO.

Yeah Katana, Almost every wrestler I watched as a little boy; there life ended tragically, and in f'd up ways as well. It's just sad! :\'(

Agreed


While we're at it, why not think of 2013 as an old school year too?  ;D

While we're at it, why not think of 2013 as an old school year too?  ;D

Now that's just flat out laughable!!

It will be, some day. Maybe in 2032.

Yeah Katana, Almost every wrestler I watched as a little boy; there life ended tragically, and in f'd up ways as well. It's just sad! :\'(

Alot of them had addictions or roid rage.

It will be, some day. Maybe in 2032.


Let's just be nostalgic for evvvverything!

There is no such thing as all people agreeing on when the good old days were because we were all born at different times.

Scott Steiner in 2015 looks like he lost some muscle but still looks roided up.
http://36.media.tumblr.com/66b3237df90c22e3334f5eece4766ec1/tumblr_niiaa5ngIH1sg99p0o1_1280.jpg

Scott Steiner was in WWE 12 years ago, He faced HHH at The Royal Rumble 2003 and boy he was awful in the ring.

Alot of them had addictions or roid rage.


Mr.Perfect, Crush (Bryan Adams), Bam Bam Bigelow, Big Boss Man and Hercules to name a few. :(

One word:Why?

I think 96 was indeed the last old school year as well , however 1997 ain't too far ahead!!


Sorry, I have to disagree with you on that one. Things weren't much different from how they are now (IMHO, anyway). The 90s decade was all about getting the earliest start of the Century we're in (as it should have been). Clinton will go down in the books as the first President of the 21st Century. I'm not gloating, 1990, '91 and '92 really were the last years of the 20th Century (especially 1990).

Everything changed in '93 when Aol added USENET access to its selections. Think of it like this, the USENET users of the 80s were connecting with AOL members. So, many of them were exposed to the online service provider, if they weren't before.

90s Internet and especially the Internet from the first half, had nothing in common with our 2010s society which is always connected. It was still a different world. Internet was expensive, slow and useless for most people. It had more in common with 80s internet, which was based on commands IMO. The earliest year that was like a preview on our modern society, was when Internet really became household in the late 90s.

I'll always think of '93-'01 as 2k 1.0.
