@No chill Curry 30 fan that is such a beautiful question bro and it made my day to hear that. Guess I'm old now huh. Ok here we go. I was 4-6 years old the first time I saw a computer. I remember going on MSN chat rooms and going to cities like Chicago and any random city and just getting a bunch of internet girlfriends. I had a bunch. My friend Joey Morales in 8th grade used to tell me to stick my stick in the E drive. Back then we had the floppy disk. You don't know what a floppy disk is. I remember seeing the pager or beeper under the bathroom counter in a bucket of random stuff and using it as a toy. The first ever online acronym was ASL. Age sex location. 😂😂😂. I started watching pornos on VHS. Before porno hub. Sorry but you asked. It was a beautiful time. I remember every video game made basically. Call of Duty Modern Warfare started with a game called MEDAL OF HONOR. Back then your cousin would spend the night and bring his N64 with 4 controllers and bring 007 and it was funniest game you can ever play with 4 people in the same room. Donkey Kong. The Lion King had its own Nintendo game and it was hard for me to get past the level where you rode the ostriches. You had to jump over the tree branches. I remember when the PlayStation came out and the multi tap and the memory card and you would hide your memory card. I remember beating up my little cousin for starting a new Pokemon game on my game boy and saving it with his punk grass. I remember every game boy made I had every one. A phone company made on called the NGAGE and it sucked but it started the smart phone kind of a little. I had a GameCube Xbox and ps2 at different times and I hated Xbox and loved GameCube the second best besides PlayStation. I remember the Sega genesis and breakfast. Dream cast was complicated. Needless to say I did nothing but ride bikes steal toys from stores and play video games. I made my first short film at Age 12 three years before YouTube came out. The 90s man had the best WWF era. The attitude era. I remember the rock as a third generation wrestler and not a cinema superstar. His first film was the scorpion king and mummy returns. I remember channels 22/23. PPV BX. You had to pay for those channels it was like Netflix. I remember hearing about Princess Diana dying. I was like oh we gotta real princess. Then I was oh she died in a tunnel that's fishy asf. The 90s man. Sometimes your house phone would glitch and you and a distant neighbor would share the same phone. You pick it up and he's on it and you're like oh my bad Ralphi I'll try again later but we had two house lines. I remember dial up. If someone picked up the phone you logged off automatically. I remember the aol free disc if you didn't have internet. I remember Google when it first came out. I remember aol messenger. AIM instant messenger. That was the bomb. I hope I'm painting a vivid picture. I don't remember the OJ trial really I was 4. I remember Johnny Cochran. I met Tommy from Martin at my grandad house I had a picture. He played golf with my uncle Art the Florida city chief of police. My blood cousin is the singer Uncle Sam look up I don't ever wanna see you again. That's how I knew the illuminati existed bc he said he went to Hollywood and didn't like what he saw 😂😂😊. I was 6 or 7 when Tupac died. He was a pleasure to have on the earth at the same time. The shows we watched. Pokemon. I read the first 5 Harry Potters. I remember trying to audition for the first movie. We watched living single Martin and the fresh prince of bel air. Cosby show was played out. I remember yugioh and bey blades. We would bring a dish bowl to school and play bey blades in the soccer field. My cousin Darren and I had a yugioh scam we would do in 8th grade. I would be looking at your cards and i would put the ones I want in my left hand then Darren and someone else behind me would at stage a fight just like how they killed Malcolm X. All you would hear was "oh what you said about my Mama?" Then they push themselves into me and the cards in my right hand went up in the air and every one went crazy. I'm such a jerk in middle school then two guys caught me alone in the cafeteria and got my cards and I knew how it felt so I stopped. I wish I kept the Pokemon and yugioh cards in the deck and thought not like a kid. I remember connecting two VCRS to each other to record bootlegs of movies and record tv shows and BET videos. If you stuck a piece of paper in the small square under the VHS you could record over the tape. I remember block buster and Hollywood video. I remember most of the websites that came out. Back then we had pay phones still and phone books. Your parents couldn't call you when you were gone too long you just gotta whooping when you finally decided to follow the rules. The nineties were awesome bc we still can hang in this new ultra tech society bc we were the first generation to grow up with it. I really hope I painted a vivid picture for you man and please ask more direct questions if I left any stone unturned. I'm sure I did. How was That for a chapter on the 90s. My favorite movie was scream. It was the first horror movie that changed everything for us. I loved that movie. Life before 9/11 bro dam I forgot. I was in 6th grade. Things changed after that. Everyone became so super sensitive slowly after that man I blame 911. It was cool to see gangster rap take over music but Tupac was the king of it and he dealt with it responsibly but after him it got worst bc you had fake gangsters who never got shot and never shot anyone tell you they did when Pac was speaking for the entire community. He made a gang treaty. None of these rappers have that power to convert gangs to better causes. What else? Will Smith was our hero. The first black sci fi action star who made $100M opening weekend 8 films in a row. He turned down the matrix for wild wild west but I enjoyed wild wild west. Deep Blue Sea was one of my favorites. How did I forget to mention GTA bro? Shame on me. I remember the first two were helicopter view only. Then GTA 3 CAME OUT BRA. changed everything. I went to gamerevolution.com and had a book full of cheat codes for San Andreas. I would do riot mode and citizens have guns and I had a jet pack and I could recruit gang members from other gangs. I hope I painted a vivid picture and let's keep this going. Ask another question. We are the headphone generation. The first generation to have all of this stuff bro. GOD BLESS YOU MAN and you can't be that young. But the best part of 90s was the war on terror and 9/11 wasn't here yet. It changed everything. I believe it was an inside job obviously. Norad had an 100% interception success rate until that one day.
@No chill Curry 30 fan I forgot to mention the birth of reality TV. The real world had just came out and the one I remember the most was Paris with Ace Melinda and CT. So when the real world the challenge came out and CT became the terror I knew who he was before from the show. I remember not having an editing system for the filmmaking so we had to film every scene in order. We had one outtake in the middle I was like cut cut cut. My friend Danny Smith was playing the robber and he was robbing Santa and we used red food coloring for the blood on his leg when he got shot by Shawn the cop. I remember having acid spilled on my pants and my brother came outside and said hey that's acid stupid take off your pants. They corroded right before my eyes. I remember the leave it to beaver film from 1992 or something. Gotta watch that. Its so funny bro. Gee Wally I never knew you were such a crummy guy. Eddie Haskel and his dad. Women are like vampires and as soon as she's done with you she'll flush you like a dead gold fish 😂😂😂
@No chill Curry 30 fan you inspired to write a short story anthology about my recollections of the 90s. We are the first future grandpa's with stories about technology. I will write a film script about the 90s. I was born Friday 122989. New Years weekend 89. I spent three days in the 80s and i dont remember a thing. Thats how lit the 80s were. I'm one of the last 80s babies ever born. Thank you man.
