ONE love, blood, life
On January 1st, 1990, I was 5 years old. On December 31st, 1999, I was 15. Most of who I am was formed in that decade, and a lot of what formed me outside of my family and friends is pop-culture. The pop culture of the 1990s, 1990-1994 ESPECIALLY, is very important to me. I have not watched/listened to/played/otherwise experienced all of the following, but I have experienced a lot of it. And what I haven't experienced, others have. Should anyone else come up with anything else that I haven't thought of that I think should be there, I may edit them into the post. Without further ado...
