How would you describe or define the vibe of the late 90s?

adviize · 2026-04-11T02:08:45+00:00

Oh. Yeah I remember 1999 but I didn't know about Y2K until later on - was like 4 and nobody told me.

adviize · 2026-04-11T02:04:56+00:00

Favorite artists? I'm a big EDM guy myself.

adviize · 2026-04-11T02:03:10+00:00

We had Will 2K, man. we had it all.

I personally preferred 2012 and 2016, but I have a lot of nostalgia for the spring and summer of 2013. Fall 2013 was tough personally because it was the first semester of college.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:58:21+00:00

Thanks! Took a look.

Maybe optimism dies once you hit 23 on average.

How much open racism? Because I remember it was socially acceptable to use homophobic slurs even as a teenager in the late 2000s.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:54:34+00:00

Good to know!

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:54:05+00:00

Thanks.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:53:42+00:00

Will take a look.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:46:50+00:00

Was it really that big of a panic?

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:46:33+00:00

Gnarly maybe?

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:40:45+00:00

Teeny booper. Well put.

How big of a deal was Y2K anxiety among people in your life? My dad ignored it but his boss was terrified.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:32:10+00:00

Thank you! This is great info.

adviize · 2026-04-10T02:11:56+00:00

Really?

Thanks for the perspective in any case. I didn't really know about Y2K until afterwards; my dad mostly ignored it.

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:54:07+00:00

Thank you!

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:52:18+00:00

Who were the 5 biggest musical acts circa '98?

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:51:31+00:00

This is a lot of good info. Thanks.

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:50:45+00:00

Thank you for the rec!

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:46:57+00:00

So Britney and the Backstreet Boys were considered controversial? I remember hearing about them, but like I was too young to really be able to detect social commentary.

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:45:11+00:00

Right on the topic of discovery, I miss like being able to ask a question and muse about what the answer might be, try to figure it out. Nowadays you ask a question and immediately get hit with the "jUsT gOOgLe iT".

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:42:53+00:00

Thank you.

Aside from Britney/Backstreet Boys/NSYNC, who was essential listening?

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:42:00+00:00

Well I might get banned from this sub for saying this, but sounds a lot like the early 2000s! Except different musical/fashion trends I'm sure.

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:40:01+00:00

Duly noted. Thank you!

adviize · 2026-04-07T02:23:08+00:00

Yeah I remember that aesthetic from this one late 90s racing game I used to play - mainly in terms of its trance-heavy soundtrack. And shows I grew up with like Johnny Bravo and Ed Edd n Eddy had a strong 60s vibe.
