DU'ers...how many here were teen-agers during the 1990's?

[Beware the Beast Man]

What was your favorite music, TV show, and amusement park mascot?

[asthmaticeog]

1. Pfffft, fucking children.

You came too late to truly grasp the depth of "Nothing's Shocking" and "Nevermind."

[bicentennial_baby]

4. oh puh-leeze

i saw Jane's Addiction when I was 14...listening to them since I was 11 or 12. :)

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. I was a teenager on the cusp.

I'll see your "Nothing's Shocking" and "Nevermind" and raise you a "Doolittle."

[Rising Phoenix]

8. ooh I LOVED Doolittle, still do

[asthmaticeog]

11. "Doolittle?" "DOOLITTLE?" "COME ON PILGRIM," child!

:evilgrin:

[Beware the Beast Man]

13. Remember, this is a Drunks With Guns fan you're talking to.

I have instant indie cred! :D

[asthmaticeog]

16. You're my fistpuppet. I like what you do.

:crazy:

Yeah, this gag's getting old... I hereby relinquish my "act like a baby boomer" joke, it ain't as fun as I thought it'd be. You five-years-younger types are A-OK by me!

[Rising Phoenix]

7. I listened to that when I was a wee lass

[cedahlia]

30. hey, Nirvana and Pearl Jam changed my whole world

when I was 13 (in the early, pre-Limp Bizkit 90's, mind you!) :-)

I most definitely "grasped the depth!" My whole life changed when I got turned on to great music...I'm talking total epiphany!

[Rising Phoenix]

32. same here

I was 13 when I first heard Nirvana and it changed my life...

[asthmaticeog]

37. It was a joke.

I was parodying the Baby Boomers who act superior to anyone too young to have been at Woodstock, like that was the apotheosis of human civilization. Really. A joke. Scout's honor. Pearl Jam were a joke, too, by the way.

[cedahlia]

40. It's cool...I knew that!

FAVORITE AMUSEMENT PARK MASCOT...

??? I don't remember there being any famous amusement park mascots...but I loved Six Flags Great Adventure in Jersey and Hershey Park in PA!

[Tafiti]

47. Oh shit!

The State! I loved that show. It came out right as SNL was going downhill, and I thought, hmmm, SNL will probably try to snag more than a few of these guys, they're hilarious.

Then it lasted like 2 seasons and got canceled! :wtf:

[cedahlia]

48. Yes, I am awaiting the DVD set

It's gotta be coming soon...I hope! Most of the cast is now on Reno 911, which has been a pretty successful show, so hopefully that will help bring The State to DVD!

[Tafiti]

50. A couple years ago...

...I looked for it, but never found anything. BUT, I did find a VHS of "Best of The State" and ordered it immediately. I got to watch it a couple of times, and then I took it to a friend's house, and it turned up missing shortly thereafter. x(

The tape was pretty good, but I remember thinking, "Damn, there were some classic skits they definitely left out." But still, it was cool to see it again.

[Tafiti]

38. I was a teenager from '93-'99.

I liked a lot of shit music-wise: Tool, Rage, Pearl Jam, RHCP, Bob Marley, Beatles, Hendrix, Zeppelin, STP, 311, Incubus, Radiohead, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Black Crowes, etc., etc.

Oh, and I do, and always have, think Nirvana sucks fucking ass. Overrated hacks (except for Grohl, he's got talent). :puke:

TV Shows: Simpsons and Seinfeld were my favorites, then later Daily Show (w/ Criag Kilborn) and South Park.

Amusement park mascot: :wtf:

[suzbaby]

39. Graduated in 1999

Wow, this thread takes me back. I remember Smashing Pumkins were huge and we all felt cool listening to them. I was also a big Garbage fan...."I'm only happy when it rains." Beck was big and so was Moby (although later). The song they played during my high school graduation slide show was by Fat Boy Slim, to this day I can't hear that song without being transported.

Well watched all Kevin Smith movies and felt cool because they were "independent" films. Boy, that's no longer the case with KS now! I saw Titanic in the theater 3 times. :) ( I know you were looking for TV shows but I just had to bring these up)

We had no amusement parks in Anchorage, Alaska so I don't know what to pick for that one.

Edit: I left a few words out

[cssmall]

44. I graduated HS in 2000.

I listened exclusively to metal and classic rock
I watched The Simpson, anything on History Channel and Discovery Channel
I liked Micky Mouse. ;D

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

45. I turned 13 in 1992

My musical tastes back then were awful, I mean seriously shit with the one exception of The Pet Shop Boys. This only picked up when someone turned me onto Nirvana about a year after Kurt's suicide. My favorite album was probably Rage against the Machine with "Killing in the Name" on repeat. In fact until I got a part-time job around 1996 it was one of the only album's I owned. The first band I saw live were Ocean Colour Scene (who were good, once).

My favorite TV show was probably Red Dwarf then later Homicide: Life on the Street.

[billyskank]

46. The 90s were my teenage years

My favourite music was ROCK! :headbang:

My favourite TV show was probably Star Trek: The Next Generation :hide:

I didn't have an opnion on amusement park mascots. :)

[bamacrat]

49. 13 in 96'

Roseanne, Tupac, Nirvana, The Simpsons, Full House ha.

[RubyDuby in GA]

51. I was a huge U2 fan

and then I met them....

Not a fan anymore.

TV - I loved Aeon Flux and I am so psyched about the movie.

[Qibing Zero]

52. I turned 13 in 97

Pearl Jam (was U2 when I was really young), David the Gnome, and I was overexposed to amusement parks as a kid living so close to Orlando and never really liked any of them.

Thanks to David the Gnome, I still obsess over gnomes to this day, though.
