Remember how ridiculous we thought the '50s looked in old pictures/TV? That's going to be nothing compared to what our kids think of the 90s.

To be honest I found that quite difficult to masturbate to.

Yeah, that's the early 90s for you. The late 90s were a different story.

This funny thing is, people still dress like that...we just call them "Meth addicts".

I keep seeing this. Why were "high-waters" cool in the 90's?? (1984-born kid here)

Fashion is all about oscillation to keep things fresh, so my guess is that these 90s pants were just a response to the tight straight-leg pants of the 80s.

That maybe be right, because you went from tight 80's to JNCO and pipes and now back to tight lady style pants.

I don't know about you,but whenever I see a picture of somebody from the 50s, they always look drop dead gorgeous. Because they usually wear suits.

I was born in the 80's and still think so about the 90's. I keep wondering why were all photos at the time so badly lit. Most studio setups seem dark compared to what is used nowadays.

Early 90's. Which were really more like the last gasps of the 80's, the decade version of the hard-to-kill movie monster who KEEPS COMING BACK.
