In this assignment, I will be covering the culture of the 1990’s. I will be writing about the music, tv shows, clothing styles, and Y2K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Popular styles during the 90’s included grunge rock, hip-hop, rap, pop, and heavy metal. Popular bands included Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Wu-Tang Clan, Mariah Carey, The Spice Girls, Green Day, and the Backstreet Boys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were many popular TV shows during the 90s, but here are some of the most popular: “ER”<\/em> was a drama show watched by millions about a hospital emergency room. “Law and Order”<\/em> was another famous drama, but it focused on the interactions of police, judges, and criminals. In comedy, many people enjoyed watching “Friends”<\/em> and “Seinfield”<\/em>. “The Simpsons was and still is a very popular animated comedy show, but its humor is generally more for adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In the movie theatres, films like “Titanic”<\/em> and “Jurassic Park”<\/em> were smash hits. “Titanic”<\/em> is about the Titanic<\/em> that sunk because of an iceberg. “Jurassic Park”<\/em> is about the world after dinosaurs have been brought back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Basketball fans cheered on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, who won 6 championships in the decade. Many MLB players went on strike in 1994, resulting in the World Series being cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clothing styles were similar to the 80’s, most people dressed casually. Jeans and a t-shirt was not an uncommon outfit. Some people opted for a more bold look, with styles like punk or grunge being trendy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Y2K scare was a series of computer bugs that were feared to occur during the turn of the century. Since many computers at that time stored the year as 2 digits (for example the year 1999 would be 99), people thought that computers all over the world would crash because they couldn’t process the new date, 2000. In reality, nothing major happened, because so many businesses and people installed new software features that protected against the bugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you enjoyed reading this post about the culture of the 1990’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 8G History Lesson 155 Assignment In this assignment, I will be covering the culture of the 1990’s.
