Ah, Nostalgia
10 years ago
General
I miss the 1990s.
I did already, but after watching some clips from the MTV show "Daria", and listening to some of that era's punk and alternative music (as well as reviewing my collection of 90s Jurassic Park toys), it brought the nostalgia on in full force.
I've always been sensitive to nostalgia, which is no doubt part of the reason I keep around so many mementos of my life, and watching some old shows and listening to some old music brought on the nostalgia-train hard.
Back when MTV was "Music Television". Shows like "Daria", "Ren & Stimpy", SatAM Sonic. Games like POGs were cool, even moreso after schools started banning them. I still have all my disks and slammers.
SURGE! Man I loved that stuff... And yes, my long lost darling, Crystal Pepsi.
Unbuttoned button-up overshirts and jean jackets were cool (I still think they look cool).
And everyone knew that one kid with the rich parents who bought him an N64 and didn't mind if you came over to play Goldeneye for a while.
Nickelodeon was freaking NICKELODEON! "Rocko's Modern Life", "Pete & Pete", "Salute your Shorts", "All That", "Are You Afraid of the Dark" and...yes, even "Clarissa Explains it All" (a guilty pleasure of mine). They had "Legends of the Hidden Temple", which I would have killed another kid to have been on.
I'm pretty sure shows like "Tiny Toons" and "Animaniacs" inspired a whole generation of modern Furries.
It was a good time to not have any responsibilities so we could enjoy the commercialization and entertainments of the decade.
...
...oh, and I bought a 24 case of Surge online. Good times.

Oddly, even though i loved the color red, i always voted for the Silver Snakes.
And hey, I liked Clarissa Explains it All too! Maybe it was just the german dub, but the show had a certain kind of wittyness to it.
