![]() ![]() XYers and Xers got the ultimate early 90s experience while watching Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, but everything changed towards the end of the early 90s when the show became Parker Lewis. Commercials for the hottest movies, 7UP Spot, and video games always aired during the breaks for Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. Parker Lewis wore a Gumby cut (like Bobby Brown), rayon shirts (chic in the early to mid-90s), black pants (we liked black clothing in the 60s, very late 80s, and 90s), and a Swatch watch. Perhaps, the best show of its time was Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. In the early 90s, everyone thought they were cool. The early 90s did have an identity that made them stand out from the rest of the 90s. 1999 was the only ‘90s in name alone’ year the very early 90s fit in perfectly with the rest of the 90s (despite being a little different). It’s easier to remember the mid-90s than the very early 90s because children of the 90s (Yers) enjoyed Nicktoons, XYers watched gangsta rap videos on MTV, and movies like Reality Bites were in theaters. All of this began in the very early 90s, but it was more commonplace in the mid to late 90s. So, the 90s are known for Yers watching the latest cartoons, XYers listening to different genres of music, and Generation X is in the eye of the media. The XYers were becoming pre-teens and teenagers in the 90s and Generation X was off to college in those days. The 90s has Generation Yer childhood culture and that is why so many Millennials are nostalgic for all parts of the 90s. There were some events in early 1991 that were outright horrid (the Rodney King beating, the Gulf War, and early 90s recession), but, on the other hand, there were Hostess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pudding pies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Secret of the Ooze, In Living Color shirts, the Super Soaker 200, Hypercolor shirts, NBC's Blossom, ABC’s Jim Henson’s Dinosaurs, Clarissa Explains It All on Nickelodeon, Rico Suave, The Silence of the Lambs, Thelma and Louise, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Terminator 2 Judgement Day for pop culture fans. Early 1991 gave us one of the greatest Super Bowls in Super Bowl history (long story short, Whitney Houston sung the Star-Spangled Banner and the Giants took home The Vince Lombardi Trophy). 1990 was a big year (Captain N The Gamemaster met Link and Zelda) and '91 was a little lackluster compared to it (even early 1991), but early 1991 was still one bookend to 1990 (the other being late 1989). After the very early 90s, the 1990s began to decay (got drier and drier) and give way to the 2000s more and more until we left the 90s completely. The very early 90s were the most important part of the 1990s because everyone alive then got their first taste of life in the 90s at that time. (The very early 90s were the start of the Bush 90s) ![]() In fact, as a Xennial, the very early 1990s were the best part of the 1990s. In hindsight, the very early 90s were 100 percent Bush 90s (early 90s). ![]() You can say we were living in the 'super early 1990s' days from January 1st of 1990 to August 1st of 1991. Syndicated Saturday evening shows like Monsters was on the air, Changeables were in McDonald’s Happy Meals for the last time, and gold panda rings were still everything to ladies in the very early 1990s. The very early 90s are in a class of their own, but they were still the 90s. We especially played the first Nintendo games, looked at Garfield comics, and used lots of Aqua Net hairspray (enough to continue hurting the ozone layer) in the very early 1990s (1990 to mid-1991). (The tug of war that 1990 and early 1991 were in) (Some totally wicked 90s Cracked magazine covers) Of course, pre-teens and teens of the 1990s know we were still playing the original Nintendo games, reading Garfield books, and using Aqua Net hairspray all throughout the 1990s. From there, those people of different backgrounds start to call items like the Nintendo Entertainment System, Garfield books, and Aqua Net hairspray “products of the 1980s”. The adult brain makes connections for inventions from the 1980s and the years of the 80s that those inventions were introduced in. Sadly, people of all ages associate what came out of the 1980s with the 80s exclusively. Are you tired of hearing things like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was “80s” because the Fred Wolf animated series was “80s”? Are you waiting for the day when people can tell the difference between the 1980s and 1990s? Are you someone who realized a long time ago that the 1990s were far better than the 1980s? Have you ever remained silent whenever an unmindful person talks about grunge music as if it were invented in the 90s? Then, this article is for you.Īs older 90s fans know, 1990s culture was born in the 1980s, while 1980s culture came about in the 1970s. ![]()
