90s thread - The best of the 1990s

Milli Vanilli try to learn to sing their own hit song "Girl you know it's true" after it was revealed they had lip synced the song at all their concerts and on television for over a year.




and here's the "original" everyone knows...




And here is the infamous press conference where they gave back the grammy they won and explained why they duped all their fans. The press absolutely destroyed their reputations, when in reality it was mostly their manager who was to blame.

I remember how big Pearl Jam was in the early 90s.

Pearl Jam - Alive



I was never a huge fan of grunge in general (sounded like music for moody, depressed teens) but Yellow Ledbetter was another one I thought was decent.



Like the Nirvana Smells Like Teen Spirit parody I always found it hard to tell half of what he was saying in the lyrics though.
 
Devon Stack has an interesting take on the 1990s in a couple of lengthy videos. The quick summary of his argument was that the 90s were heavy on gay propaganda and now we see the results in today's age. Seemingly innocent shows like Golden Girls and their coarse opposites (Married with Children) pushed the normalization of homosexuality. In part 2 he expands on the topic with shows like Seinfeld, Friends, and Ellen discussed.

Over the years I've found myself re-assessing my view of that decade, as it's the era I grew up in and I associate it with so many great memories, particularly with TV and film. My takeaway is, yes, that time was great, but mainly because of my lived experience with family and friends. As regards the pop culture, I take the wheat and discard the chaff -- I enjoyed the entertainment, but now that I'm older, I see most of it for what it was: propaganda.

Anybody else have similar experiences in viewing their formative years?

There was definitely a shift in the 90's toward more coarseness and degeneracy on television- that was the decade of Married With Children, Jerry Springer, the first lesbian kisses, and the sitcoms like Friends and Seinfeld, which weren't centered on nuclear families. I was only a teenager then but I could see the shift between the late 80's and the mid 90's, and I didn't like it.

Well to me at least, we (Christian Heritage Americans) at least have been in a Propaganda Psy-Op with the Media. It's just or to me it seems the Propaganda was geared more towards our Culture and things that Europeans tend to like or relate to.

Now to me at least, it's all geared toward a POC Hip Hop world, which seems to be infested into everything. Thug Life, Hip Hop, Lowest Common Deniminator Effort, Meaningless Conversation and Complete Degeneracy.

You are right though alot had to do with our closer knit family and friends, more Roots even though it was in decline. Economic Hope, although that is Dubious since the Fed had been in Control, but you at least had more Regional Economic activity.

I remember learning that Married with Children was subject to a boycott campaign by some anti-obscenity activist housewife and immediately siding with Fox. Looking back, the 1990s were a blackpilling psy-op decade. I believe Devon Stack also said this was why it was consequently the most philo-Semitic decade of the 20th century.

The campaign against MWC was spearheaded by Terry Rakolta (Wikipedia says "née Stern," but apparently she and her sister — who married into the Romney family — are LDS).
Rakolta is a resident of Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. She is married to John Rakolta, the former CEO of Walbridge, and the General Consul for Romania's Honorary General Consulate in Detroit, who served as Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates during the Trump administration.[2]

Rakolta's sister, Ronna Romney, is a Republican political activist and radio talk show host who was formerly married to Scott Romney, the son of former Michigan governor George Romney and brother of former Massachusetts governor and current Senator Mitt Romney. Rakolta's husband was a national chairman for Mitt Romney's 2008 presidential campaign. Rakolta is a Mormon.

Rakolta was prompted to write to the sponsors of Married… with Children after her children watched the episode "Her Cups Runneth Over" on January 15, 1989, in which Al Bundy and his friend Steve purchase a bra for Al's wife, Peggy. That same episode had also showed Al ogling at a naked model in a department store, but with her back facing the camera. Several sponsors decided to cancel their commercials in response.

Most of the comedians and entertainers a Millennial would've admired growing up were secular or even actively anti-religious. George Carlin's an obvious one, although I was too young to "get" him and when I did, never found him particularly funny. On the other hand, every boy my age including me admired wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin and part of his gimmick was mocking a Christian wrestler's faith.
The beginning of “Austin 3:16” dates back to King of the Ring 1996. Austin, as he discussed on The Rich Eisen Show, had to be taken to the hospital because he had to get some stitches on his upper lip. While he was gone, Roberts delivered a religious promo about how he needed God to win the tournament. Austin returned for his next match, which was the finals of the tournament against Roberts. He had been informed by Michael P.S. Hayes about what Roberts had said. Austin said that when he heard of the promo, “Austin 3:16 popped into my mind.” He referred to when he played football and had seen John 3:16 signs, which were in reference to a Bible verse. It was here that a legend was born.

After Austin defeated Roberts, he made his way to the stage where he would receive his coronation. Austin got up there and made professional wrestling history. As Roberts was taken to the back by referees, he said, “Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16…Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!” The crowd cheered for Austin, taking in all the passion, aggression, and directness in his delivery. He finished it off, saying another of his classic lines, “And that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so!” It was that night that Austin solidified himself as one of the biggest stars in wrestling. He had told the WWE what he was there for and nobody was getting in his way.

It's ridiculous looking back on it now (pro wrestling is effectively a soap opera for men) but these kinds of things shaped minds and attitudes of impressionable children and teenagers.
