Oh, Those Awful Early '90s
If the seventies was the eighties' dad when he was cool, then the early '90s was his idiot son. The Gay '90s wasn't just in the 1800s. The Gay 1890s were called that because everyone was happy, but the Gay 1990s earned that moniker because they were fucking gay. Most things were pretty stupid in the early '90s. There was some cool stuff, but the shitty shit was so shitty that it overshadowed the good shit. The were neon pink splats on everything and that spider web stuff certainly didn't look good. Nobody could decide what the '90s was going to be like at the time, so people were basically throwing stuff against the wall to see if it would stick. The worst part was that people started wearing combat boots and growing awful haircuts. Aren't YOU ashamed of what you did back then?

One
of the biggest laughingstocks of the early '90s was M.C.
Hammer. Many remember his Taco Bell commercial where he and his entourage
jumped off of the top of a
building only to have their monstrous pants act as parachutes and save their lives.
This commercial alone is enough to satirize fashion trends of the '90s.
Unfortunately, his baggy pants caught on with the kids and set a
fashion trend for the rest of the decade. Yes, it was all his fault.
Vanilla Ice
There is nothing that I hated more than
C and C Music Factory in the early '90s. Well, maybe Darkwing Duck.
Twin Peaks
Billy Ray Cyrus

Alice In Chains made some of the doomiest music in America's history. They will teach you to stay the fuck away from heroin.
Seinfeld Watch out for those horrible early episodes with black Smithers and Bart saying "Eat my shorts! " all the time. There were too many "Lisa shows", everyone looked funny and Homer sounded like he was choking on his own puke. Those episodes belong in the other column.
In Living Color Time for an early '90s flashback: I remember arriving home from middle school each day and enjoying the Turtles. It was the only alternative to the totalitarian regime known as the "Disney Afternoon." I never really realized how shitty the Disney Afternoon shows (except DuckTales to some extent) were until they recently started showing them again on Toon Disney. They are fucking awful. The music is so overly orchestrated and pretentious that it makes you want to die. It is almost impossible to laugh during them because they don't have any jokes. They're basically "watch a bunch of animals do shit" shows. That's not TV, that's the zoo. Thank God for TMNT. It is quite insulting to see large retailers try to unload old used Super Nintendo tapes for $20 these days when they're all over flea markets for $1.50. The ultimate solution is to download zSNES.
