in most ways, but from a kid perspective the commercials still just felt like an extension of the 90s until 03/04. The Y2K aesthetic is just all a part of later half of the same era. It's only vidya where the change would be felt, but it all still felt as natural as the growth of computers and internet.

Very easy for a Sega kid to answer this - the collapse of the Dreamcast. I will never forget stores refusing to stock Dreamcast games because they wanted the shelf space for PS2 titles. A lot of other major downfalls were happening around this time as well - namely, the Daikatana flop and the mass layoffs at Sierra On-Line.

Uh. Plenty of people did. Michael Jordan, Robin Williams, several other examples of people saying "this is the 90s, baby" in some form or another being aware of the time they're in as special. Just because no one's been able to say that for the last 20 years because there's nothing to comment on doesn't mean it wasn't happening. We finally get to say it again with "it's the 20s."

The 90s were distinctly two things, the first and then the second part of the decade. The first part was the high-point and what you really think of when you think "the 90s", the second part was kind of a downer and had less soul/spirit, though great things were happening on PC, especially if you had internet.

PS1 and N64 felt like a step back after coming of the great 8-bit and 16-bit generations, they felt like proto-3D steppingstone consoles with crude, harsh and ugly 3D graphics. Console 3D graphics didn't get good until the Dreamcast and PS2 came around.

Anonymous Sun Jan 9 14:41:59 2022 No.8502057

Up until 2002/3, me and all the kids I knew were still playing SNES and trading carts with each other, there were still rental stores and stuff, maybe some kids with a 64 here and there but they were rare and had nobody to trade with. But then sometime between that and 2004 everyone was suddenly playing PS2 and on the computer, and the SNES became a relic that nobody had anymore. I honestly can't pinpoint exactly when everyone moved on or how it happened, but to me that's when the 90s ended.

Sounds like you came of age during the mid nineties and that's why your personal opinion of the decade diminishes in the second part of it. Everything seemed better when we were younger and this can make opinions biased.
At the time the jump into 3D was a leap forward, not backward, objectively speaking. You're reflecting with hindsight, and the graphics may seem crude and ugly compared to what came after, but at the time those proto-3D games were mind blowing.

After the psychological lockdown and pushing of AMERICAN FUCK YEAH by the propaganda arm (which pushes "peaceful" protests and white hate now) there was no more wacky fun and extreme coolness to be had. It was slave mentality, and only got worse after the bullshit the elites pulled after 2008. Your last to reserve your place as a human being was make a life (gf/wife, house, job, kids, cars) in the mid 00s. After that you are a bottom dweller forever even if you have credentials.

>commercials still just felt like an extension of the 90s until 03/04
2002 is the last year that could solidly be considered part of the 90s/Y2K era. Having anything faster than dial-up was impressive. 2003 is when nu-metal and skate punk died down or had their last hurrah before indie rock, emo pop punk bands, and glam rap took over. I agree that by late 2004, it seemed like a different era entirely. PS1 finally disappeared, Cartoon Network changed its logo and entire lineup, all the original Nicktoons got canned, web 2.0 and online gaming started taking off big. Handhelds like PSP and DS came onto the forefront with 3D graphics on a handheld. I call it the start of the "American Idiot" era because by Fall 04 everyone at school was obsessed with Green Day and wore the heart hand grenade t-shirt. Halo 2 and RAZRs were big, Family Guy came back, Youtube got popular, Xbox 360 came out, Guitar Hero craze, etc. Late 2004-2007 before smartphones. I wasn't a fan personally

Started in 1st grade elementary summer 1990, got my NES in 89, Genesis in 91 and SNES in the xmas of 92. We also had PCs that I played adventure games and Wolfenstein, Doom and etc on. By the time I got my PS1 in 97, the PC was on fire and outside of the big games like MGS1, FF7 and SotN etc the PS1 just looked crude and cheap games wise compared to the deeper gaming and massive backlog of games becoming available with the advent of emulation on PC.

The PS2 with it's DVD playback, great 3D graphics rivaling PCs at the time and PS1 backwards compatibility for getting to play some of the now bargain-bin gems you might have missed out on, was the "true" 3D gaming console revolution many of us had hoped the PS1/N64 would have been.

Honestly I think it's rather "mid-90s kids" who grew up with the PS1 and N64 as their first console (at a relatively cognitive competent age) that have a bit to high opinion on that console generation and the later part of the 90s in general. Like I said, there was great stuff happening in the late 90s, but console gaming felt decidedly proto-3D especially compared to the PC at the time, and the feeling of the 90s "winding-down" and losing steam before the new millennium was definitively clearly present.

If you're into music listen to the Smashing Pumpkins records from the first part of the 90s, then listen to Ava Adore that they released in 98, it perfectly illustrates the zeitgeist and progression of moods, Ava Adore is the somewhat bleak swansong of the 90s before the party that was supposed to be 2K but never really took off due to 9/11 and my generations "Vietnam".

I'm the quintessential 90s-kid and Millennial, I know my 90s well.

I'm the guy you responded to and you sound about the same age as me '83? As someone who was a teen in the mid to late 90s I look back at the latter part of that decade as my golden years.
I wasn't into PC games though but I can see how you view the PS1-N64 generation disparagingly. As a console normie those titles like MGS1 and Shadows of the Empire were mind blowing to me and my friends coming off the back of the 16 bit era where shit like DKC and Sonic and Knuckles were cutting edge.
To go with your music analogy (I never listened to the Pumpkins much outside of Siamese Dream but I get what you're portraying); Metallica started out the decade heavy and cynical and then embraced a more softer alternative sound and ended the decade doing fucking cover songs like "Whiskey in the Jar" that could be a good time party anthem (the music video certainly portrays it as such). I'm not American and I'm not you so I don't look back at the end of the 90s with dread and foreboding, for a lot of people; my generation, OUR generation, the end of the nineties and 2K was a party and a fucking blast.
And as two other anons have said, it was an optimistic time for them (and me) and a lot of other people.

I disagree. The music and attitude of the 80s was "Party all the time, everybody is happy and everything is good! COCAINE!" While the music of the 90s ventured into depressing, introspective and moody grunge and "alt rock" about how bad life is. The drug of the decade was fucking heroin.

I always remember my parents and generally the media portraying the 80s as a wacky time with crazy fashion and music, but also a lot of fun.

I was born in '87, I do think that it was probably a bit after 9/11 that things started to feel different, but it's so hard to pinpoint any exact time. It was gradual as you might expect, but sentiments and outlooks definitely were down after 9/11.

In terms of gaming, there was still a lot of '90's feel' in the early 2000s I think. One big thing in gaming in the 90s for me was just the level of excitement around games in general. There was so much happening and a very real sense of wonder at everything that was coming out. Look at Sonic the Hedgehog on Mega Drive vs Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast for a comparison of early 90s to late 90s in terms of tech leaps, it was ridiculous compared to 2012 to 2022 for example.
Gaming magazines and not having such access to the internet helped, since you only got news in a monthly cycle, and it was only in text and still images unless you were lucky enough to get demo CDs with trailers. Now you can see the entire game played start to finish sometimes before it even releases, and in general I think gamers just don't get excited as much as we used to. There's probably a bit of oversaturation as there's just so many games everywhere on the indie scene, yet the AAA space is monopolised by a few big franchises. It means you have trouble finding the stuff you like in the low budget games, and it's easy to be jaded with big budget games.
Check out the feature for Shenmue from CVG in 1999. This was one of the late era games I recall being so amazed by that I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. I don't think I even ever saw it in motion until I bought it.

People who believed this fell hook, line, and sinker for Nintendo and Sony's style over substance, paid off reviewers bullshit. The mid-90s was the beginning of the end as shit games started taking over. By 1999 we had gone full trash with only Sega half-championing the traditional gaming cause (just half, they still had shit like the fucking 3d Sonic games) and it was all over. And this is why gaming now sucks shit.
Nugamer kids need to only play 70s/80s games for a while and discover that gaming isn't about all the bullshit we started getting in the late 90s.

Narrow minded view there bro. Heroin was out by the mid to late nineties with the death of Kurt and movies like Trainspotting painting that drug in all it's shitty realism.
Rave culture was at its height with ecstasy. Hip Hop gained mainstream popularity and was drenched in marijuana.

For me, maybe it was because I was 20ish at the time, but I actually felt like the 90s ended right "on time" so to speak, there were so many big changes right around Y2K. I had started playing Everquest, which came out in 1999 but doesn't really feel like a "90s" game to me (graphically, yes, but the gameplay model was the template for WoW which is one of the defining 2000s games). Many of the big 5th gen franchises were beginning to feel dated or were changing, and new franchises rose to prominence. Final Fantasy X was a major break from the 90s style of Final Fantasy. Grand Theft Auto III was the landmark GTA game. Devil May Cry, brand new extremely popular PS2 franchise.

Nah, the decade divisions of culture had been well established by this point (at least in the US), although the exact boundaries have always been blurry. Eg "Roaring 20s" It was most common in music and television, but was also relevant in movies.

I will say though that videogames were generally not thought of as "90s" videogames the way people would have called NYPD Blue a 90s TV show and and Nirvana a 90s grunge band.

The very early 90s was mostly a continuation of 80s trends, eg MC Hammer but pretty quickly swung hard into the split between alternative/grunge My So Called Life and Beverly Hills 90210/Mariah Carey.

People would laugh at 80s fashions like women in power suits with big shoulderpads and permed hair. There was a sense that the era of huge, mega-glamorous pop stars like Michael Jackson was over.

In 1999 there was a chain email that went out to prank MTV's Total Request Live by requesting New Kids on the Block's "Hangin' Tough," which was viewed as cheesy at the time despite NKOTB being essentially the exact same formula boy band as the chart-topping acts of the time (N'Sync, Backstreet Boys, Fingerbang).

Isn't it obvious? It was the last decade of not just the century, but the millennium. It'll be the the year 20-something for countless generations to come, but if you were alive in the 90's, you knew you were there at the moment the second millennium (Anno Domini) began,

For a kid? Absolutely. The original warehouse style made it feel gigantic. And the yellow tickets were amazing.

Interesting fact, when the SNES Classic came out I got tipped off my nearby Toys R Us had it but to be there before opening. So I showed up and did the wait on line bullshit for about an hour or two. Employees then started handing out those tickets to the people on line. At that point I thought they long retired the practice but the ticket even said "SNES Classic" on it. The process of trading the ticket for the item, and the fact that it came with Star Fox 2, it was as if I was 10 years old again buying a brand new SNES game and the whole thing just took me back. I didn't think I'd ever get those feels again but hit every note.

What also made the 90s special to a lot of people is that the 70s and 80s had absolutely insane crime rates. They started dropping dramatically around 1991/1992 and just kept falling. That's why movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Home Alone 2 show the city in wildly different light than the modern metropolis it is today. There really was a sense of hope that things were going to get better. Then Columbine and 9/11 happened.

Pretty sure the early 1900s were notorious for wealth disparity. It was called the gilded age because all the problems were papered over with a veneer of pomp and circumstance.

Obviously the 1910s ushered in World War I. Then shortly after the war you get the lost generation, typically characterized as directionless and cynically seeking empty fulfillment. Ernest Hemingway wrote about this. Picture Gen X like in The Breakfast Club except instead of Saturday detention they all moved to Paris and fucked French hookers.

And in the 1970s they didn't do security checks at airports at all and people could carry guns on planes. I haven't been to an airport since 1991 but even if I did taking my shoes off just to check for weapons is a smart thing to do and should've been implemented earlier. But that aside, taking my shoes off is not "feeling the effects" since I got my daily life never thinking of it. I am unaffected and cannot recover because it never damaged me in the first place. Maybe it's just different on the west coast.

True enough.
Here's the redpill on parents: they're supposed to teach you about the errors of doing DUMB SHIT before natural law teaches you the hard way. Hippies and "free love" degenerates thought they could do all the drugs and sex they wanted. Well with drugs, abusing the neurotransmitters in you body can wreck your shit. And with sex, every microscopic little bastard on earth wants eat your proteins and proliferate and trading goo between each other is a fantastic way for them to express themselves, much like through rodents or by wading through sewage and corpses.

Good parents, ESPECIALLY a good father that's not gonna be cute with your dumb ass, will tell you this. Not teachers or government or friends.

Not everything has to be connected with the iPhone dude, cartoons really were more simple in design starting in the 90's, originally trying to riff of the 50's look that anon was referencing, but later became so ubiquitous that people just started basing designs around it because that was just the standard cartoon look. Cartoons with that look were still being made in 2007.
It was 2011 when stuff like Adventure Time started replacing it.

Yeah, boomers didn't invent abuse, but the thing is it's a different kind of abuse. Boomers were way more into sexual and emotional abuse, which is why they all insisted that it's only abuse if you get wasted and smack your wife around. Society had been politely ignoring the way that can fuck you up, until my parents' generation took it too far.

I'd spend summers on grandpa's farm and it was night and day, the difference, because he'd drink himself stupid and get violent, but it wasn't the same as mom buying you a gift, and then complaining how spoiled you are when you accept it.

The 90's was full of wondering how technology could progress. I remember playing Pokemon Stadium and trying to imagine how a true 3D Pokemon game would be. Barely anything has met those expectations.

I think the only thing that has really wowed me nowadays is VR, but even that honeymoon effect has started to wear off a bit.

I was born in 76, I was a kid in the 80's and a teenager in the 90's.

The 80's fucking rocked in a way no other decade has since. There's a reason we're got stuck in 80's memberries and it's because it's the most culturally rich decade ever. We still haven't tired of milking it yet. Usually we would be in the middle of full on 90's nostalgia by now but it hasn't happened.

You mean movies with real actors? Disney was pretty on fire that decade, especially the first half.
Sadly, serialized cartoons were never as good as stuff like Thundercats, TMNT, The Real Ghostbusters, He-Man and the like.

It started when western gaming became much bigger than japanese. In the 80s and 90s, fun and wacky japanese gaming balanced western seriousness, so we had Hard Drivin' but also Daytona USA after that. After the new century, realsim has almost taken over the gaming landscape and japanese games are not as relevant anymore outside Nintendo ones.

To me it always felt like the 90s (the later part anyway) was all about the US president and conspiracies and shit.
I mean, Bill Clinton was popular and all. but the movies were shit.

imo the best era was 84-94, Ghostbusters to T2 and Jurassic Park with some NES/Snes/Genesis/DOS sprinkled on top.
even the fun 80s music ended around 94, with that grunge garbage taking over.

Even cartoons were the best from 84-94, with Saturday morning stuff like M.A.S.K. and Inspector Gadget and RGB and TMNT, which then evolved into Disney's stuff with the late 80s Ducktales which was then followed by Darkwing Duck and Goof Troop and Aladdin and Hercules.

after that the cartoons became cheap looking, often with cheap plots about some guy in school doing school stuff.

The turning point was gradual, but the 90s died in stages. The first half of the 00s were pretty much still 90s in spirit.

The decline began on September 1st, 2001. This singular event is the most important one any of use have ever lived through. The last dying ebbs of 90s optimism and spirit faded ~2008, with the great financial crisis, which we still live with the after-effects of.

Post 2008 and the dawn of the 2010s were truly the dawn of a new era, with smartphones becoming the norm and social media attaining ubiquity. Around about 2015 society entered the terminal phase of decline which will define our era, when everyday normal people who had never heard of places like 4chan or SomethingAwful started to talk about and use memes in everyday converstaion.

Other toy sections in department stores and little gas station types were all you had but going to Toys R Us was a sight to behold as a kid with toys stacked to the ceiling and what felt like near endless shelves. It was pretty crazy when I was kid to just see all the toys I've only seen in commercials all there and a entire aisle dedicated to something that only had two pegs in K-Mart.

For me, it was the N64. 1996 was the first time things started feeling kinda off. Product-y. I had gone from the NES to the SNES to the PSX. I thought I had witnessed the peak of gaming. Then the N64 drops and yeah, it looks "better" and that controller looks like fun to my young eyes, but a the same time it feels like it doesn't belong. It felt like I was being prepared for a future I didn't want. None of the soul, for lack of a better word, was there. The SNES is my favorite console, and I still maintain that the PSX was the last time gaming had soul.

There are multiple ways to express your disagreement. Opening like this is off-putting and shows you lack self-control. You also blast your belief -your belief in your opinion, not Jesus; just to be clear- with exasperation, letting most people know that this isn't going to be a very fruitful conversation because you think they're idiots. Which we can tell because I could hear you snort and roll your eyes from here. People must be welcome to talk to you, not doing 180's and walking away. Work on that.

This might be shocking, and you might have to exercise some self-control here, but I didn't like that shift in art direction. The N64 marked a shift in themes and tastes and norms. The zeitgeist had changed, and I didn't like it. The scariest part? There might be people out there with another opinion! A third one. Imagine. Speaking of, you should definitely work on your imagination. It's the one thing that keeps your brain from rotting.

There is something about how games on N64 had to have an antiseptic, textureless look to them out of technical limitations, and then Nintendo just made all their characters look that way in official art and carried the style forward to all of their future consoles. And the style of music they use hasn’t really changed since. Something about how the games are presented makes me feel like I’m being half pandered to, half manipulated.

Mid-2001 for me. Part of it was seeing Sega stepping down and Microsoft take their place, and part of it was seeing a lot of franchises that made the 90s for me go through major shifts (Final Fantasy moved away from ATB and also went to MMO, Megaman shifted from Classic and X to Battle Network and Zero, Street Fighter went 3D, etc).A lot of change in a small amount of time.

I can somewhat relate. Sometimes I feel like we missed a whole home console generation between the 16 bits and 32 bits one. Everyone moved to 3D as soon as you could put 50 polygons in the same screen, instead of trying to reach the maximum limit with 2D. CPS-3 games are a glimpse into what could have been, but sadly we never got that chance.

Indeed, felt so proto-3D, like Starfox only with textures, and most of the games went from smooth 60fps with the 8-bit/16-bit console to most 3D games on the PS1 never managing to hit 30fps and looking like a wobbly murky mess with "experimental" control schemes that were just as horrible then as they are to anyone today. Felt like a step back for sure.

There are some really nice 2D games on the PS1 though, SotN being the most prominent with constantly being in the top 3 on lists and the Suikoden games leading the charge amongst the 2D JRPGs that there are a few of on the system.

>>8514851
The early 90s stuff still has comfy soul and spirit carried over from the 80s, it's about in 95 that flavor of pop-culture is slowly being replaced by more edgy, "serious" and monochrome color-grading (green, blue, orange) looking shaky-cam cinema with practical effects getting completely left behind for tacky and jarring "SFX". Again the divide between first and second half of the 90s is really evident, just as in console games going from 2D to 3D at the time.

No. Toys R Us (at least in America) didn't go out of business until mid 2018. I was at my local Toys R Us that I had frequented as a child back in the 90s and early 2000s the last few months it was open. I was really sad about it closing because that place was so magical for me as a kid. Seeing TRU die was like the final piece of innocence lost.

Anyway, to answer OP's question, I'd say that 90s gaming ended somewhere in late 2001- early 2002 after the release of the XBox and GameCube and the 6th Console generation was in full swing.

It's maybe a bit exaggerated, but pretty much true, especially for the era.

lul, the "80s" didn't start until 1984 and ended in 1994. The 90s ended in 2001, and the 2000s ended in 2011

>There's a reason we're got stuck in 80's memberries
It's because people who grew up with 80s culture as kids are now, on average, at peak economic productivity and consumption as they find themselves established in their careers and buying shit for their kids. Marketing trades on nostalgia in these cycles and has for a long time. In the 90s there was a 1950s retro fad that smoothly shifted into one for the 1960s as those people became juicier targets, we just don't remember it because kids weren't buying chrome toasters and VHS box sets of the Andy Griffith Show.

For sure, I'm saying Silent Generation-style abuse at least gives you useful coping skills for dealing with violent drunks, something you encounter a lot.
Boomer-style abuse just makes you think everyone's your enemy and teaches you to self-destruct when things finally go right.

It was around 2004, and I think they were just trying to phase out the big costumes thing? Liability might make sense. Also, not a lot of people could wear it. You need to be a certain height/size, other the thing looked weird or was a pain for the person inside.

I do remember Mulpfim having random decorations (and sometimes backgrounds) that look particularly dated compared to the rest of the flash look. Twilight Sparkle's ass marking wouldn't look out of place in something like Pink Panther or some shit like that. Then there was MLAATR with its weird amalgamation of UPA and Craig Macracken styles.

Eurodance is pretty much the genre I relate to the 90's the most. At that time I wasn't of "clubbing-age", but I always heard it in arcade rooms, in the radio, fairground amusements, etc

Well since we're talking gaming i'd say the 90s ended when the N64/PS1/Dreamcast died. The PS2/Xbox/Gamecube definitely felt like a different era in gaming from what had come before.
The 00's look of stuff being "grittier" and more "realistic" started seeping in around 2001, 2001 in general is when things started to shift even before 9/11, but of course 9/11 sped things up. Gone were the XTREEEME nature of the 90s since we were now living in a "different reality with real threats" BS. Since most normies were getting the internet in the early 00s as well everything became more abot the digital era and with DVDs it felt like that, every piece of media was influenced by The Matrix.
The only thing 90s that lasted a little longer was music, nu-metal and the like was able to survive for a while but by 2003 that was the last hoorah nu-metal had, other genres of music had already been switching to a different sound which was more 00's but even nu-metal went away.

Now the 2000's you can also argue was about from 2001 up until 2012/2013 or so. It's when geek culture became cool with normies in part because of the MCU and youtube and the SJW era began and all the sexualization started to be questioned.

When do the 2020s begin? I'd say about now, I feel a different vibe in the air. the pandemic will be used as a reference of when people's attitudes started changing. in general people now seem more positive about the future, less people are bickering about politics since they got tired of the same left/right wing shit that happened for years, people are dressing a bit different now and in general the 2020s seems like a new fresh era.

>nuzoomers think this kind of style stopped entirely in 2001-2003

I don't know if most of you retards in this thread are American or not but over here in Europe (and in most of the UK), this kind of style stayed around for nearly the whole of the 2000s. It began trickling out around 2007 and you started noticing the shift around 2005 or 06.

Not the best decade either. It was great for style and excess but a lot of awful grunge music was really popular around this period, and people just completely abused the economic boom to destroy most of the old culture that was around for generations.

Still, at least you were curious to see what new stuff was coming around the horizon, even if most of it was kind of eh, style wise.

They literally still exist, everywhere. Walk in to a KMart or a Target or whatever big store you have in your country and you can find shelves with products on them.

I think around 97 or so is when most places got rid of their 16 bit stuff but there was a target I used to go to that had a boxed snes that no wanted for years and some crappy snes games they tried to sell for $30 each in 1999.

The video rental stores were all clearing their 16 bit games in around 2001 but they weren't that cheap.
