Done.
Another thing I think about when it comes the 90s...every part of the 90s had a unique aspect to it. Like the early 90s had a different vibe to it then the mid 90s and the mid 90s had a different vibe to it than the late 90s.
The early 90s had that residue from the 80s still on it. Lots of neon colors, women with big hair and mom jeans, acid washed jeans, mullets, even the cars were still old looking and boxy. Hair metal was still a thing, as bands like poison and motley crue still managed to tour and release albums. The grunge movement killed all of that though.
The mid 90s, things were changing. The clothes got baggier, hip-hop influence seemed to spread all over, the music got louder, heavier, and more aggresive, the fashion got more simplified than how ridiculous and gaudy it seemed like it 80s and just more "normal", the movies got better and involved bigger budgets and more special effects, TV was getting better with more advertisements and commercials. There was still a connection to underground culture as it hadn't became mainstream yet. There was more of an allusion to the future as the end of the millenium was coming.
The late 90s...I consider it the 00s without the technology. Things started changing yet again. It's like there was more of a focus towards teens and young adults...but more so teens. You had all of these teen movies coming out like "Can't Hardly Wait", "She's All That", "Cruel Intentions", "Save The Last Dance", "Drive Me Crazy", shows like "Dawson's Creek" there was more of a focus on pop music and boy bands. Hip-hop and rap became more commercial after biggie and pac died and rappers were going multi-platinum. Hip-hop fashion finally came into its own and reached the mall culture...battling the emergence of gap, abercrombie & fitch, american eagle, and old navy. It was really weird cause if you were into all of that punk, metal, rave, ska, alternative stuff that was popular from the early to mid 90s it seemed like you could sense that it was the beginning of the end for that being in the mainstream...or perhaps it had already been mainstreamed and abandoned to cater to teens with disposable income.
To go into length with my last point, I have posted this documentary called "The Merchants of Cool" this pretty much set the stage for the cultural landscape we have right now.
