Ok this is awesome

I’m a 90s boy, so I’ll do those:

1. USSR + large screen plasma TVs - just those two things - mean the best of all worlds. Throw in listening to Mazzy Star in, like, a used record store or a coffee shop while talking to a girl with thrillingly disheveled hair and you’ve got the best of all possible worlds.

2. CNN coverage. Made me feel like I was in Baghdad at the time. Now that you wrote this I’m wondering if the war actually happened.

3. Clinton. I’ve got to go with the unpopular opinion: that sax stuff annoyed the shit out of me. I didn’t buy it.

4. I was on a roof, painting a house and doing a shit job. And oh yeah I cared a bunch.

5. Open and shut case. I never believed that the people cheering his release though he was innocent.

6. Seinfeld, but it’s closer than people remember.

7. Lifeboat: Christ YES. That always bothered the shit out of me. I mean they didn’t even try. And I liked him better than her.

8. “Did you view Wag the Dog as playful satire or did it kind of perfectly seem to match up to the US’ intervention in Kosovo?” Response from 90s me: a blank, stoned stare

9. Blue dress: it was such epic grossness that it will never have an equal. People think that mainstream media jumped the shark in 2016. Sorry, but no: it was when they spent like a year talking about a 20-year olds dress drenched in the cum of. US President.

9. Britney: 100%. It always felt like a big step too far, like when Miley Cyrus did that tongue thing.

10. The Matrix: dude, I BEEN knowing that

Haha great answers! It's nice to go down memory lane.

Mazzy Star is really wonderful! I have a short story about her.

I was too young to remember the Arsenio Hall thing, but it does seem annoying AF. From everything I've heard about the '92 campaign it sounds like a real schmaltz fest. Surprising that anybody bought it.

Totally guilty, right?

Yeah, I think Rose was pretty over Jack by the end. I'm sure she married well!
