N: The 90s

I love the 90s. I miss the 90s. I feel lucky because I got to be in and graduate from high school and college in the 90s. I like reading about the 90s being compared to the Roaring 20s. They do have a lot in common including feminism, a heady time for music and literature and they were both decades that were wonderful followed by decades that were really quite the opposite of that. I could go into more detail, but I'd rather spend the rest of this post talking about my favorite pop culture references from each year of the decade. Feel free to add yours in the comments.
