I remember a school dance where that was on repeat for about half of it.
Also, how many of us had classmates that spent the entire day crying after Kurt Cobain died?
No idea. I found out on a Friday when I was away from school (was just back from a school trip to Toronto with my older sister's class that she taught), but there weren't really too many kids at my school into them to that extent.
But that was my senior year of HS, so maybe that had something to do with it? I could see middle schoolers flipping out.

I was in middle school, at the time, and a ridiculous number of kids modeled themselves after Kurt Cobain.
Pogs, lol, that takes me back. Did anybody actually know how to play the game? I remember collecting em for a bit but never knew how to play.
Same with the Pokémon Card game. I didn't know anybody who knew how to play the game, just collecting them. Oh and crazy bones! Never even new it was a game
Really!? We use to play all the time man, I use to play in tournaments in town every weekend that was the only way to get the sweet promo cards!
I was like 10 years old rolling up into that place just whooping ass.
I went to the tournaments at Toys R Us as well. I remember I won a tournament they had and won a TRU gift card. It was always really fun and the promo cards were awesome.
Pretty sure I spent it on more Pokemon cards or Star Wars. I still have my deck that I used, it was lightning/grass I think. I still have the Pokemon League stamp book and the badges as well!
So Weird (That and Are You Afraid Of The Dark creeped me out)
Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus being the best Halloween movies (for kids)
Nickelodeon when they used to slime people
Legends Of The Hidden Temple
Kablam
All That
Crashbox on HBO
Supermarket Sweep
Who Want's To Be A Millionaire (when it was still good)
Reader Rabbit, The Cluefinders, Zoombinis, Midnight Rescue! (I actually remember using floppy discs for this one), Super Seekers, and JumpStart games (I still have some of the JumpStart games.)
Power Rangers, POGS, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, NES, N64, Playstation, Saturday Morning WWF, Monday Night RAW, cartoons, and a variety of cheap, plastic neon toys!
You guys pretty much covered just about everything. The only things I can add are that the Mega Man cartoon came out in the 90s. Also in sports,my 49ers and the Cowboys were the two best teams and the Bills lost 4 Super Bowls in a row.
My Rockets won back to back titles in 94-95,in MLB Greg Maddux was a pitching beast,in the NHL the Whalers,Nordiques became no more and the Rangers and Red Wings brought home the Stanley Cup for the first time in a long time.
Also two of my favorite movies came out then...Happy Gilmore and Tommy Boy.
I was thinking the other day about internet usage in the 90s, how it was cheaper at night and on the weekends than during business hours, so at my house we usually had to wait until 9PM to start using the internt on weekdays! Also the way photos used to slowly load from top to bottom, sometimes it would take a minute or two just to get a picture to appear on your screen.....man we used to have some patience

My family did not get a PC until '97. I still remember coming home from best buy with our $2500 computer w/Windows 95......there was a strategy game that came pre-installed where you control a kid through a maze and collect keys to get through to the next level. I cannot remember at all what it was called. Great game though...

Ha, my DSL still gets like that when it's too hot or it's been storming.
The bad ass Mortal Kombat soundtracks that introduced me to the likes of Napalm Death, Fear Factory, and Sevendust.
+1
And Orbital!
I remember that! But didn’t fear factory go by Giza or something on that soundtrack? I feel like it was many years later that I realized fear factory was Giza.

I was in the sam boat until a few months ago. I only have 15mbps down but it's amazing compared to the 128kbps down I had for all of 2017. Rural living is a bitch hahah.
As for 90's ralated stuff, my family was poor back then so most of the things I did back then were from the 80's. I played NES and SNES until 2002, and my first computer was an Apple II that I got in 1996. We never really watched contemporary movies either. Lots of old 80's stuff on VHS. Back to the Future and Karate Kid. One exception was independence Day which blew me away in terms of effects. I loved Pokemon back then though and tried to program a Pokedex in BASIC as a kid on my Apple II.We'd mostly listen to 70's era rock on the radio so I had very little exposure to the music of the time. No cable either so it was just Simpsons and The Cosby Show. I don't really recall any commercials except that sears air conditioning one. (I'll call tomorrow! You'll call now! I'll call now...)
I don't mind any of this at all in hindsight. I broke out of being poor as an adult and made something of myself, but even so, I don't bother with modern tech. I use low end smartphones and my Desktop was built in 2009. At the time, i built it to be as powerful as it could possibly be. it's showing it's age pretty hard now, but I don't care.
Anyway, it throws me in this wierd position where I was born in the first few months of the 1990s but have nostalgia for 80's stuff.

BBS's great call! Favorite door game?
Global war, Legend of the Red Dragon, and Food Fight!
My main interest on BBS's was the art scene and downloading ansi packs
LOTRD was pretty good! I was always partial to Usurper, never played Food Fight.
