Return of the 90s
Jump to: Newest in thread
Is it me or is the 1990s starting to creep backing in?
The return of steering wheel locks, bumbags, endless rows of homeless people on the streets and about 1 in 3 females under 25 I see rocking a denim jacket and high waisted jeans. Im just waiting now for the mainstream return of Kappa popper Joggers now. It's like I'm stuck in a game of 90s Pokemon. |

"Is 90s retro? It feels like yesterday to me! 
Almost 20 years ago now "
Yes and where have all those years gone? I remember the 90s well, the last time I was having regular sex! |

"Yes yes yes!
Been noticing this recently. Kids seem to have hair quite often now that I could swear looks 90sish
Good. My hair will now come back into fashion."
What nice is we can say smugly, we did it first |

Knew id be cool one day  "
I like some of the eariler hip hop. At least Chuck D had something serious to say about society instead of glorifying treating women like rubbish, violence and making greed priority number one. |

If violence is what you grew up with, violence will come out in your rap. I don't mind that if it's authentic and not "Jenny from the Block" mimmickry. I'm not violent and the music doesn't inspire me to become violent. If anything I find it a cathartic form of release of pent up frustration. Rapping along to a violent song when you feel angry.. Sometimes releases it. Same for rock music. Or angry politicized music. NWA aren't any different than Public Enemy when it comes down to it. Better educated maybe.. But for all their "Guns n hoes" Talk.. They were HIGHLY POLITICAL.
Straight outta Compton albums paints a vivid, accurate (albeit onesided) picture of life in the Hood in L.A. During the 90s.
Fuck tha Police has become an anthem for the oppressed the world over. Bit unfair to the majority of beat bobbies and detectives that do a good job and risk their lives. But if you serve in it.. You have to accept you're enforcing some archaic, corrupt and elite flavored Law. As the face in street representing that form of often brutal authority. If police officers don't like the laws they enforce.. They can always leave. That's why I left the military.
Fuck tha military  And Ghengis said with authority.. 
Personally I prefer Rage Against the Machines version of angry 90s rap myself.

Angry music calms me down. |

I agree

Mo'murda - bone thugs n harmony and I still think it's a fooking tuneeeee!!!! |

I get the does art imitate life or does life imitate art. Personally I believe the two go hand in hand. That's why in away it's more a shame that many of the social messages were replaced by messages of greed and misogyny. I guess the the lure of gold and women being play things was more attractive than making social change? But then music is about making money and the record companies like making money. Same in other music geners to be fair. Still it's a shame because positive art can have positive effects on communities.
I started to become into music in the late 90s, never really into it when I was younger. I liked Rage against the machine and the like of Pennywise. It was fast, angry and most of all it made me ask questions. I've always liked bands/songs that make you question things. Finally music that appealed to me.
I think thats the time to get out if your no longer happy to be a part of the system your in. For me although I questioned the bigger picture I was still enjoying it and proud of all the achievements (success can be a bit of a buzz). To be fair you can lose focus on the wider impact and moral arguments of military action when you are so focused on success at a local level and the buzz of achievement. And the lifestyle was my life, outside seemed stange and on a slightly different planet. Alas I left for the sake of my young family and I had outgrown some of the bull shit aspects of military life (if that makes sense). |

"Brilliant!
I can get my bmx back out the shed and wear my global hyper colour t-shirt again
Love 90s clothes.I'm rocking a pair of hi top Adidas in black and orange....get me "
They’d look ace with a naff naff jacket 
That actually reminds me of the time my girlfriends mum come back from the local market with a huge grin on her face and explained what a bargain she’d found!
A kickers jumper, only cost her £5, she then got it out the bag a proudly pulled it over her head in front of us.
Emblazoned across the front in the kickers brand style and font was the word knickers  |

There was so much knock off back then. I really don't miss the pressure for wearing brands. It made things hard for a poor kid who had no interest or sense in fashion. |

Yes but how many tamagotchi pets avoided death by neglect and lived out to an old age? |
