'93 IS an early '90s year.


On a number line, yes, but in reality, no.

That's another thing in which The Early 90s Guy argues about. I remember one time we argued about 1993 and I said that it was an early 90s year. But to his case, it was a mid 90s year because it was part of the core 90s or something.

Interesting....

The '90s

Bush 1 years : 1990-1992
Clinton years : 1993-1998

The '90s

Bush 1 years : 1990-1992
Clinton years : 1993-1998


Wouldn't that be 1993-early 2001 in this case?

NOPE. Both of you...STOP. IT. RIGHT. NOW. Don't divert this from the question I asked....:-X.

'93 isn't an early '90s year.

You know what part I voted for.  ;)

You do realize that 1993 can be placed in many ways right?

Thirds method: 1993 is mostly in the middle, or the early 90s if one starts the decade with 1991.

Halves: 1993 is in the 1st half.

Quarters: 1993 is in the 2nd quarter

Take your pick.

I would go back to the Mid 90s, although like T-Rex, I generally like the entire 1991-1996 period. Despite the fact that I was born in 1999, I wouldn't choose to go back to the Late 90s. Late 90s culture is far too cheesy and inauthentic for my liking. In all honesty, the only thing I really like about the Late 90s, is the excitement and build-up for the new millennium.

I'm sorry UltraGameDog but that conversation is NOT for this thread. I'm sorry, I just want to keep this thread mostly on topic. Debating whether a year is "early" or "mid" can easily get dragged out.

Oh, I understand. For some reason, he intentionally brought it up all because he saw 1993 as early 90s and that irks him.

Back to the question though, I would live in all periods of that decade because they all provided amazing pop culture.

But which part of the '90s do you want to the experience the most? I personally would want to experience 1990-1996 but 1990-1993 the most.

This is what happens when you basically talk stuff about 1993 with the Early 90s Guy.  ::)

To answer the question, I'll rather live in the late 90s. 1997-1999 were like the cusp years of both VHS tapes and DVDs.

Because of VHS and DVDs is why you would want to live in the late '90s?

Well DVDs were rather more expensive during the late 90s, but I wanna see when people switched between VHS and DVDs during those times. Even that doesn't really seem exciting, since I never really saw the 90s as a great decade. Also, 1997-1999 had Daria on MTV, which is pretty sweet.

Same as you, but like I said all periods to me.

I will say though, the 1990s definitely had many gorgeous women. ;)

I agree. I look at pics from back then and women back then (in general) seemed more gorgeous. I don't know why, lol...;).

The early 90s. Second choice is mid 90s.

'93 is the first year of the mid '90s, period. '91 and '92 side more with 1993, but they're still early '90s years because mid '90s culture (i.e. - Clarissa Explains It All, Dinosaurs, and Batman: The Animated Series) was still being introduced in those two years.

I'm sorry, TheReignMan99. I had to point that out to him.

Yeah, I don't really enjoy the 90s as much as everybody who grew up with it. I should've chosen 1990-1993, but it's just like an extension of the 80s.

That's OK. You don't have to "enjoy the 90s as much as everybody who grew up with it".

Yes, 1990-1993 was an extension of the '80s but particularly the late '80s (especially mid 1988-1989). The late 1980s were slightly different from the over the top cheesiness of the mid 1980s (1984-1986/1987). Personally, I just like that early '90s feel...I don't really know how to explain it.

1990 to 1993 have a 'foggy', 'older', feeling to me. In a good way of course.  8)

I'm not sure it's because I was only a toddler then, or because it actually did feel that way at the time.

That's similar to how I feel towards 2001-2003. The early '90s seems almost ancient by today's standards.

1993 wasn't very 80's at all. 1992, barely.

I'd love to relive 1990-1994.

1993 as the year went on lost it's late' 80s vibe (mid 1988-1989 feel) but 1992 definitely still had that feel. However, I agree with you....give me 1990-1993/1994 anyday.

The 1997-98 school year.  That's the only part of the '90s I would relive if I could.

Personally, I just like that early '90s feel...I don't really know how to explain it.


Same here.

Same here.


I'd also prefer the earlier part of the 90s. It felt, in my recollection, more sincere or earnest than the glitzier vibe that started around the mid 90s and picked up from there. The early 90s were before everything had to be outrageous or extreme, which was pretty fun in some ways, but did get rather shallow.

This is a tough question. I think I'll break it down by era.

The Early '90s

I'm not sure that I would say that I want to "relive" the early '90s because I was only roughly 3-5 years old during that time and my memories are rather vague. Really, I think I would rather experience the early '90s as a teenager or college kid, so I could've been apart of the Grunge explosion of 1991-92 and experienced that first hand. It also would've been interesting to have experienced other events during these years like the fall of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War and the 1992 election as a young adult instead of a preschooler/kindergartner.

The Mid '90s

Now this era I would love to re-experience. Being in elementary school during the mid '90s was awesome. You had so many cool fads like Pogs/slammers and Goosebumps books, plus Golden Age Nickelodeon, early Cartoon Network, the last days of pay Disney Channel, the peak of the SNES vs. Genesis console war and beginning of the 32/64-bit era of gaming, the MMPR fad, the height of Fox Kids, Saturday morning cartoons still being dominant, and far too many other things for me to list here. I would love to go back to these days. 8)

It would also be pretty neat to have been a teen during this time as well, though. The day Kurt Cobain died would've been like my Kennedy assassination, I would've followed major events like the OKC Bombing and the O.J. Simpson trial closer than I did as a kid, and I would've been able to enter the workforce during a time of economic prosperity, and certainly would've had a much easier time finding a job than in 2009-10.

The Late '90s

I think that this is my answer, though. The late '90s are like my "sweet spot". I was ages 10-12, so I was still a kid, but also old enough to really start getting into music and pop culture. The death of Princess Diana, the Clinton impeachment and Columbine are all events that I remember crystal clearly, particularly Columbine, which had an effect on me for the rest of my school career. I started buying CDs around this time, mostly in the form of garbage like Limp Bizkit, Korn, Creed, Kid Rock, and my life in 1999 revolved around rushing back from school so I could watch Toonami and TRL. I also spent ridiculous amounts of hours playing Super Mario 64, Final Fantasy, Spyro the Dragon, Mario Kart 64, Metal Gear Solid, Banjo Kazooie and Pokemon Red and Blue on my Game Boy.

Honestly, as cheesy as I know the late '90s were, I'd give anything to go back and relive those days. I honestly think they were the best of my life. All my childhood friends still lived nearby, the world felt much "bigger" since the internet was still a luxury item that my parents didn't even have yet, and I lived a carefree existence that largely revolved around going to middle school, riding my bike, watching MTV, and playing Nintendo 64. Fun times. 8)

Nice detailed anecdotal post. So based on your comment, you choose the late '90s to relive right?

Yes. It's tough, because really all three "eras" of the '90s are awesome in their own right, but when it comes to my own life the late '90s is what I would most want to relive.

All of it lol but especially the early part!

I would like to relive the early 1990's.

Most of my friends were still into Guns 'N Roses at that time. The Grunge trend was more of a mid '90s thing than early '90s.

The reason I say that is because that was the time when My Brother was still alive before he passed away in 1995. :\'(

Late 90's (1997-1999) all the way! I love the vibe of those times. It just overall seemed to feel softer than the rest of the 90's which depending on your taste could be a good or bad thing.

1997-1998 was still "alright" to some extent. I despised 1999 when it came to music, and I thought that the Columbine shooting to some extent impacted the music industry (I'm a hard rock, heavy metal, and industrial metal guy).

So why do you not like pop culture from 1993 and after?

I do like some hard rock songs and I like industrial rock (not really metal) but not heavy metal. 1997 was alright, 1998 was OK but 1999....8-P. Overall, I rate the late '90s as a 5.5 out of 10.

Maybe it's me, but pop culture made from '93 onward seems like a cheap imitation of what was made prior to '93.

Personally, I like pop culture from 1987/1988-1993. I wish popular culture from 1994-present was a cheap intimation of '87/'88-'93 but it's not.

Maybe it's me, but pop culture made from '93 onward seems like a cheap imitation of what was made prior to '93.


But I don't think a lot of pop culture was imitating late 80s/early 90s stuff on purpose. They didn't want to keep the same styles, so they just made new ones.

I'm biased, because my life was awesome from 1998 to 2001. So late 90's, here we go.  8)

Oops!  :-X

The early 90's were so good. If I were to go back to those times I'd wanna be a bit older so I could truly experience them to the fullest as an adolescent/young adult like I did the mid 90's through early 00's. Anywhere between 1984-1995, the GOAT's grass. 8)

It's cool to see someone born in 1999 have an interest in the 80's and early 90's; some kids think it's "too old" or whatever. Glad you appreciate the era as much as I do! 8) It's refreshing to have discussions about the mid-late 80's to early-mid 90's. For too long this board has been nothing but late 90's to mid 10's discussions and it's time we look back at an era that was totally rad! 8)

They were probably the funnest part of the decade. You had cool new bands like Nirvana so we were definitely in the 90's but you could still find the wackier styles of the 80's hanging around. I remember seeing Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey in theaters and hearing stuff like Depeche Mode and R.E.M. on the radio. Around this time my brother had an NES and a little bit later an SNES and we'd listen to the radio while playing some Mario Brothers. My brother was born in '77 so he was lucky enough to enjoy the era as a teen but I'm glad I was still old enough to at least have good memories.

Yeah, I suppose your right. :P After all, the Early 90s are responsible for the mainstream emergence of Grunge.  8)

Speaking of the Late 90s, this is probably one of my least favourite songs to have come out during that period. It was released in 1998.

The Beastie Boys were past their peak by 1998. No Sleep Till Brooklyn was their best.

No doubt about it.

I think late 1998 is when the 90s jumped the shark.

Aww, I'm sad to hear that. Even though it's been over 21 years, I send my condolences to you...:\'(.



Thanks Man, if we were still in the early 90's, I would have told him to take care of your diabetes. :(

Wow. You're 22 years older than me...:o.



I'm 43, born in 1974.

You're welcome  :). Oh and diabetes definitely sucks...it took my grandfather's life and my uncle has to deal with diabetes now.

Well, you're 25 years older than me :o.

Basically everyone in my family has Type 2 diabetes, especially my father's side.

That's why I fear about getting diabetes. Having to check your blood pressure and the doses of insulin is just unfortunate, but it's reality.

Also to add on stuff, my dad (who is going to be 64 this year) not only has diabetes, but he also has a bunch of other issues, such as spinal stenosis, herniated discs, and Parkinson's.

My mom (who is going to be 57 this year) probably has Type 2 diabetes as well, even though I haven't really heard from her about it that much at all.

On the topic of this thread (I don't mind the sad diabetes chat), I'm surprised that the early '90s is tied with the late '90s so far (if more votes don't come). I thought that the late '90s and even the mid '90s would CRUSH the early '90s...:P. I'm kind of glad because I like the early '90s more than the late '90s.

After reading that, I just have to feel sorry for my family. I thought my family suffered enough with my dad having a personality change after he suffered a major stroke in 2015, but your family seems to have more serious issues.

You're welcome  :). Oh and diabetes definitely sucks...it took my grandfather's life and my uncle has to deal with diabetes now.
Well, you're 25 years older than me :o.


My Father now has diabetes.

Basically everyone in my family has Type 2 diabetes, especially my father's side.


I'm glad I don't have diabetes.

Damn diabetes really is a common disease. Well, I just hope I don't get it...that would be horrible.

On the topic of this thread (I don't mind the sad diabetes chat), I'm surprised that the early '90s is tied with the late '90s so far (if more votes don't come). I thought that the late '90s and even the mid '90s would CRUSH the early '90s...:P. I'm kind of glad because I like the early '90s more than the late '90s.


The mid and late '90s crush the last retro era of the 20th century…highly unlikely.  ;D

It's still retro to many people on the Internet. But... to each his own.

Yeah, that's why I thought more people would vote for the late '90s.

I'm not too fond of the early 90s (1990-92) and certainly don't feel like I "missed out" on them. I do wish though that I had been a little older in 1993-95 so that I could have a better recollection of the hardcore 90s and experienced 1996-99 as a 9-12-year-old.

That's OK, you don't have to like the early '90s...that's just the opinion of me and JordanK1982. BTW, I personally would want to experience 1996-99 as a 15-18 year old....9-12 is too young for me to experience that time.

That would be fun too, although that would mean that I was born in 1981 and had my main childhood in the late 80s/early 90s... ew.

Even in an alternate reality, I wouldn't want to be born any earlier than 1985.

Since I explained earlier why I'm not really a fan of the late '90s then explain why you aren't really a fan (or at all) of the early '90s.

I actually don't mind 1992, but 1990-91 still have residual 80s influences... and I'm not a fan of the 80s.

OK. However, 1990 and 1991 were a continuation of the late '80s (especially 1988 and 1989) not the core '80s. The core '80s...I'm not really a fan of.

I'm surprised! The mid and late 80's weren't so different. A lot of things from '88 and '89 could of come out in '85 and vice versa.

Yes, there are similarities between the mid and late '80s and there are some stuff from the mid '80s that I like but overall....the late 80s (1988-1989 in particular) was much better than 1984-1986....to me.

Fair enough! Personally, I like the entire mid 80's through early-mid 90's the best. Take me back to anytime from 1984 to 1995! 8)

Definitely the late 1990s, particularly in order to witness everyone freaking out about Y2K, as well as feel the beginning of the Harry Potter vibe. Politically speaking it would be popcorn time with the Lewinskygate.

He's overweight and after eating all those sweet things and other stuff that we go food shopping for now our doctor says that he has diabetes and cut down on items and trying to eat healthy.

I'd like to relive the mid-90s because that was one of the most all-around great times for popular culture, between the music, films, television, and technology. Fashion-wise, I strongly prefer the late 90s, but there were some positives to the mid-90s, too.

The mid-90s, particularly 1996 and sporadic parts of 1995, are the earliest period which I have personal memories of, but since I was just a toddler, I never got to enjoy any of the real culture that it provided at the time it was new, with the closest exceptions being Disney movies like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. In an alternate reality, I wish I had been a teenager during the mid-90s.

You were born in 1992, right?

The mid '90s were a close second for me after the early '90s. In an alternate reality, I just wish that I was a young person from 1987-1995/1996 instead of being born in 1999 (but whatever....).

You were born in 1992, right?

Correct. If it were my choice, I'd rather have been born around the same time as the woman in my avatar (late 1970s).

I would also like to relive 1992, the year I graduated High School.

Since I'd ultimately prefer to experience the '80s firsthand, it's obviously going to be the early '90s (especially 1990 and '91), due to lingering '80s influences still around (Big hair, some neon, end of the Cold War era, Madonna/Michael Jackson/Prince/NES still popular, TMNT and New Jack Swing at its peak, hip hop that was really hip, Johnny Carson still the host of The Tonight Show, shopping malls still a hot destination, lively dance clubs playing house music, and '60s/early '70s nostalgia much more accessible. I could still have a modem and enjoy the primitive version of the Internet before it became mainstream via Prodigy or some other early online service, yet find it more enduring to use a VHS camcorder.

Yes. I totally agree with you and especially the parts in BOLD :). 

I like how the early 90's didn't overdo the whole earth tones revival like the mid 90's did. While 1992 in general was still a very 90's feeling year, wearing Keith Haring designs and crazy pastel neon colors was still very popular like in 1984-1989 but you also saw a lot of the earthy 70's-revival colors being worn, too.

1991/1992 looked like all this at the same time:

1992 was a weird one. You could tell the 80's still had crumbs here, and there.

I always thought that Judge Claude Frollo was the most evil Disney villain. He tried to kill a woman's baby (a baby Quasimodo), attempted Gypsy genocide, tried to kill Esmeralda after she says "sanctuary", probably killed Quasimodo's mother, and he also basically imprisoned Quasimodo in the cathedral and never allowed him to go outside just because he thinks everyone will hate Quasimodo, has huge lust on Esmeralda, and burned Paris to the ground just so that he could search for the gypsy girl.

Even though it is popular to say that Scar from The Lion King was the most evil Disney villain, I think that Claude Frollo should be number one in terms of "most evil".

My Father now has diabetes.


My parents have diabetes. They're genetically predisposed to it, and I guess so am I.  :-

People do it when it's hot outside and they overdressed. But I guess in the '90s it became part and parcel of street fashion.

I would go back to the Late 90s, easily. As what SharksFan99 stated, for the build up excitement of the new millennium is one of the reasons.

Of course it's different. I was in 4th grade (Dec '99) when my teacher told me & my classmates that we would start writing a 2 in the beginning of a year instead of a 1 which was awesome at the time lol.

I hated writing "199..." in my notebook and then having to erase it and write 2000. That was one of the hardest adjustments ;D


I agree with you but what are Earth tones?


Green/brown/earthy faded colours.

I am excited for the year 2020 though because...

1. I turn 21 years old on July 13, 2020.
2. I'll be a Junior in college
3. The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan
4. The 2020 Presidential Election (the first one I'm eligible to vote in)

I never had that problem since I would always write the last 2 digits.

I never had that problem since I would always write the last 2 digits.

So you write 2017 as '17 or 17 most of the time? I only do that when I'm in school.

The rest of the time, I write out the year.

I never had that problem since I would always write the last 2 digits.


Sometimes I would write the last two digits on my work. Other times I would write the whole year down.

So you write 2017 as '17 or 17 most of the time? I only do that when I'm in school.

The rest of the time, I write out the year.
Yep, and I have been doing that forever; however, I sometimes do write the whole year.

My Mother And I are the only 2 in our family that doesn't have it.

On typed papers.

Yep, and I have been doing that forever; however, I sometimes do write the whole year.


I typically write it as "4/13/17".

I never had that problem since I would always write the last 2 digits.


I would get in trouble for such laziness.  :o


I typically write it as "4/13/17".


If we're talking about official documents and my job, I put down 2017/04/13 in writing or 2017-04-13 typed (according to my company's style guide). On my school work I'd write down "April 13, 2017" though.

I would get in trouble for such laziness.  :o

I often write "4/13/17" but when I'm writing papers and don't want to be lazy I write "April 13, 2017".

It's 1720/31/April.

OK. However, 1990 and 1991 were a continuation of the late '80s (especially 1988 and 1989) not the core '80s. The core '80s...I'm not really a fan of.


True, but I'm just not a fan of the 80s... ultra-conservative politics, visual ugliness/tackiness, War on Drugs, high urban crime rates, etc. The only thing I like about the 80s is that my two favorite sports teams, the LA Lakers and LA Dodgers, had successful championship runs.

Truth be told, however, I often wonder what it would've been like to experience the 90s as a teenager. As much as I'm not envious of Xennials' 80s experience, I will concede that their 90s youth was probably WAY cooler than my 00s youth. The 00s were an awful time to be a teenager IMO.

Fair enough. However, just like today they are areas that are more safe than others. The War on Drugs still goes on and conservative politics definitely still exists with Trump being President and the Republicans having full control over both houses of Congress.

You can't compare the society we live in today to that of 30-35 years ago. Think about how much progress has been made since then. HIV/AIDS is not an automatic death sentence as once thought, a black man was just the leader of the free world for 8 years and should've been succeeded by a woman (setting another major precedent), uncomfortable discussions surrounding social issues are now being confronted head-on rather than being avoided as "taboo," etc.

A Black man (Jesse Jackson) ran for President in 1984 and 1988 and he nearly won the Democratic Party nomination in '84. There is also still many topics that are taboo but yes some issues aren't taboo anymore. Also, you didn't mentioned HIV/AIDS in your original comment and either way...it's not like if you went to the 1980s you would get HIV/AIDS or something.

I would have loved to have been a child in the 80's, and a teenager in the 90's. That way, I would have gotten to experience two great decades. An ideal year for me to be born would be 1976/1977.

Lucky you. My true teenage years (14-17) were all post-millennium and pre-Obama. Think emo music and every other American teenager wearing clothes from Abercrombie/Hollister/American Eagle/Aeropostale and thinking they were "cool." A very awkward time to be a teenager.

Ditto. Come to think of it, an 80s childhood and a 00s youth probably cancel each other out.

I think someone born in 1985 had it best. Completely a child of the 90s, too young to really remember much of the 80s, and had most of their teenage years pre-9/11.

No. The 1990s (particularly 1990-1995/1996) is my favorite decade.

This is an ideal world bruv....it's not real ;D.


If so, 1972 sounds perfect. 8)

Oh no, pass on that. I'm gay so I would've been dead. I just want the arcade. ;D


Pre-Ellen DeGeneres years were awful for LGBT community. I know she's not the end all and be all of it, but she did help LGBT people become more accepted.

I'm split between 1970 & 1972 :-\\.

You can always hide it :-X  :-X.

Mine is the 1980's, but as of right now, I'm taking a few years off from thinking too much about the 1980's. I love ice cream, but I don't want to eat it everyday.  :D

That's true, but that's no fun, is it?  :D  :D  :D

It isn't but it is an option :-\\  :-X.

Lucky you. My true teenage years (14-17) were all post-millennium and pre-Obama. Think emo music and every other American teenager wearing clothes from Abercrombie/Hollister/American Eagle/Aeropostale and thinking they were "cool." A very awkward time to be a teenager.


It can't be any worse than being a teen during a time of EDM, Ariana Grande, trap music, IS and worldwide terrorism. The Mid 2010s would have to be one of the worst periods of time in recent memory to experience adolescent years.

I love 1983 to 1995, as an era. So 1983 to 1989 is the sweet spot, baby! I don't mind 1980 to 1982, though, but they're not my favorite.

Yeah. I have been a teen since 2012 and this decade is not a great one culturally to have been a teenager. Next year is my last year of being a teen...woo hoo.

OK cool. 1987-1989 is my favorite part of the '80s by far. If it was possible I would want to be transported to the years 1987-1995/1996.

Oh man, I'd love to go back to 1990-1993, especially my time in Germany when I was in the Army.

Although I didn't really care for the military all that much it was still one of the best times of my life and I'd go back to it in a nanosecond.

Middle part, beginning of the internet and a booming economy.

I would say early 90's as the second choice, for me.

The Internet began as Apranet in 1969, do mean the time after the creation of the World Wide Web in 1989?

Woah wait, I loved American Eagle/Aeropostale. It was colourful, casual, and affordable on my high school budget. ;D

I'm mostly happy with the year I was born, but being born in the early '70s would be cool for the late '70s/early '80s arcade games. :D


I'm happy myself with the year I was born.

early 80's is my favorite.

I guess. However, I think in particular he's talking about Windows 95 and when PCs starting to be more widely used.

I'm happy myself with the year I was born.

Well yeah you would be. 1974 was a great year to be born.

I mean the beginning of its cultural relevance. The internet was essentially unknown outside of the tech community and military prior to 1993-94.

It was in the middle of the disco/funk sound.

1990 was a good year to be born in. We get to see a whole century.

21st but that's if we're lucky to live up to 110.

I would be 110 years old in 2109 and you would be 110 years old in the year 2100. It is possible but unlikely (or who knows since tech will advance by then).

By 2109 I will be long gone.

There'd be widespread famine and drought from climate change anyway.  :-X

Who knows...you could live to be 135 :-X.

I wouldn't care, I'm already dead by that time. ::)

I wouldn't want to live that long.

That's OK, LOL. What age would you want to live until?

Same here. If I get to 100, I'm good.
