45. "RE: If you weren't a teen in the 90's, you didn't grow up in the 90's......" In response to In response to 0 Wed Apr-08-15 06:57 PM by Corey_Atherley
I was born in 1983.
But it wasn't until the late 80's when I finally grasped what was going on, as far as hip hop culture and fashion. Political and social issues: not so much. I was a kid. All I thought about was staying up to watch MTV and Video Soul.
However in the 90's, I firmly remember these people/events, and their impact that changed America:
Rodney King Beating/ L.A riots
Nancy Kerrigan/ Tanya Harding Scandal
Kurt Cobain's Death
O.J Simpson Trial
Oklahoma Bombings
The end of apartheid in South Africa
The war in Bosnia
Welfare Reform
Louise Woodward
Jeffrey Dahmer
Atlanta terrorist attack
Clinton/ Lewinski Scandal
Tupac's Death/ Biggie's Death
The Matthew Shepard murder
Columbine shooting
I won't believe someone who says they "grew up" in the 90's unless they know either some or all of these people and events.
