Top 10 Very True Things About the 1990s that Nostalgia Purists Will Kill You for Saying About the Decade
The Top Ten
1 Nirvana was never even remotely the real king of the "grunge" sub-genre
2 Beavis & Butthead and Ren & Stimpy were both incredibly stupid and forgettable
Shut up, they're not the best but they do the right things to grab attention at their time
I didn't like either.
3 Mainstream pop music back then wasn't actually that much better than it was in the 2000s
4 Super Nintendo and Genesis were just about evenly matched overall
5 The Nicktoons lineup back then wasn't actually that great in retrospect
6 Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger and Earthbound were all easily just as overrated as Final Fantasy VII and Undertale
7 Rocko's Modern Life was just a rich man's Spongebob Squarepants
8 Radiohead (formerly a poor man's Nirvana in Pablo Honey) is now basically just a rich man's Muse
9 The Matrix trilogy had always been mediocre and boring ever since its first movie
10 The political situation back then also wasn't that much better than it is now (in some ways, it was actually worse)
The Contenders
11 It was harder to access movies, TV shows, music and videos games than it is now
12 Neon Genesis Evangelion was good but not the absolute magnum opus of the anime medium
13 Most of Adam Sandler's films are stupid, dated and forgettable
Agreed very much.
14 Not everything made in the 1990s is pure gold
15 The only things good about Earthworm Jim were the soundtrack, the art style and the cartoon
16 Sonic The Hedgehog never actually was more than middlingly good
17 Many of the Metroidvanias that came after Super Metroid are objectively better games than it
18 Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs are both extremely overrated and boring
19 Super Mario 64 is overrated and has poor graphics
20 The Internet was slow as heck
21 Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog killed Sonic before Sonic X
I thought Sonic Underground did more damage to the franchise than Sonic X did.
22 Dumb and Dumber was stupid and childish
23 New York City wasn't even peaceful before 9/11 (as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing happened)
24 Marilyn Manson is a poor man's Trent Reznor (who is also a poor man's Al Jourgensen)
25 Dinosaurs is corny and creepy looking
