Hello blogosphere! Welcome to the very first post of my very own blog. As an assignment for my new media and public relations class, my blog is dedicated to the wonderful pop culture of the 90s. From boy bands and Snick to Furbies and Pogs, I plan to write about my experience with these fads and trends.
While I do not claim to be an expert, I have to admit that I know every word to every Britney Spears song on her first album, own all of the seasons of Dawson’s Creek on DVD and would rather watch Full House than the latest episode of Gossip Girl any day. I was born in November of 1988, so by the time I was in middle school, it was already the year 2000. Because my 90s years were limited to elementary school, some of you may be critical of my 90s experience and question if I even remember it. However to me, 90s pop culture did not just exist between the years of 1990 to 1999. My definition of 90s pop culture also includes all the trends and fads that began in the 90s but may have gained momentum in the 2000s. For example, Harry Potter, Pokemon and even Dance Dance Revolution were all 90s creations but didn’t really become popular until 2000.
One thing that I really want to stress is that I will be writing about my experience of the 90s. While I am sure that Nirvana and Pearl Jam are awesome bands, I was never into and therefore know nothing about the 90s grunge scene. I appreciate all music, but Destiny’s Child and Nsync are more my style.
While I love GLEE, Miley Cyrus and my beautiful pink Blackberry that I just cannot live without, 90s pop culture will always be close to my heart. I hope to learn a lot through this experience, and I appreciate any comments, stories, facts, news, etc. that you want to contribute. Even if you want to just pop in to say hello, please feel free.
If you still want more of a clear picture of my 90s experience, I’ll leave you with this awesome video
