Life In The 90’S

Life in the 90’s How life music and style Changed

Taylor Godaway

What was going on in the 90’s?

The nineties were truly the electronic age

This was the bridge between the outrageous styles and music of the 80’s and the advanced technology of the new century.

Styles(fashion hair ect.)

GRUNGE!!!! The biggest move of the nineties. It affected music, movies, hair styles and anything else you can imagine.

It originated in Oregon and Washington. The whole movement can be summarized in one word,

Nirvana. they were the biggest band and had much influence on the culture.

This was a time for flannel, plaid and grunge denim. Men had long hair and women wore what was popular that day, anything from a belly showing top to men’s t shirts and sweaters. Grunge was the thing

Fashion was to say the least not memorable. Big hair and dying your hair was also widely popular

Nineties People!!!! And other things…

You Grew Up In the 90’s If….

You remember when teachers used to confiscate your Slap Bracelets You remember a time before . . . Internet, text messaging, MySpace, Facebook,

Twitter, Sidekicks, iPods, PlayStation2, X-BOX, Wii, Blu-Ray, & HD TV You remember when light-up sneakers were cool You remember when you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs You remember when gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing You remember when it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to

watch cartoons You got super excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school You remember reading "Goosebumps" You know the profound meaning of "Wax on, wax off" ‘Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?’ was both a game and a TV game

show You remember when Super Nintendo's became popular You remember watching Home alone 1, 2, and 3 . . . and tried to pull the pranks

on ‘intruders’ You remember the phrase, "I've fallen and I can't get up" (and have said it

yourself many times)

Can you here them now?

The Goo Goo Dolls are more than just a one-hit wonder. The band’s success on the City of Angel’s soundtrack with "Iris" brought the group to the international rock scene but it was John Rzeznik’s strong vocals and open-string guitar sound that helped the band become one of the most memorable rock acts of the 90s.

The single greatest rock act of the 90s is no other than Nirvana. This band had everything—industry respect, critical acclaim, pop radio appeal, a rock-solid fan base—and any living, breathing human being would agree. Nirvana’s first hit single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit," became the anthem of the so-called

Generation X; almost a decade later, the song still receives considerable radio airplay. Nirvana’s members were Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. Grohl went on to form his own band after the group disbanded following Cobain’s suicide

Atlantis Morissette

One of the most successful musicians of the nineties she had many hits such as “hand in my pocket” and “jagged little pill”

Important events

World Trade Center Is Bombed Friday, February 26, 1993 Suspected terrorists drove a car bomb into the basement of the World

Trade center in New York. 8 years late, September 11 takes place. The epicenter was the parking garage beneath the World Trade Center,

where a massive eruption carved out a nearly 100-foot crater several stories deep and several more high. Six people were killed almost instantly. Smoke and flames began filling the wound and streaming upward into the building. Those who weren’t trapped were soon pouring out of the building—many panic-stricken and covered in soot. More than a thousand people were hurt in some way, some badly, with crushed limbs.

This was important because it started paving the way to the war the United States is currently involved in. This killed many people and many more were injured.
