So, everything this video describes as being a "1990's man" involves engaging in some sort of non-organic "pop culture" that was created by corporate marketing and advertising. And I mean everything, from media, to clothes, to technology. I lived in the 90s, and ignored all of that shit because I didn't need or even want to be defined by what I consumed. I read books, had a land line, rarely watched TV, and listened to my own vinyl records and audio cassettes that I carefully curated.

I thought all of the music pushed to the public on the radio was garbage, especially Nirvana and later Korn. I didn't let my kids watch TV during the day for the same reason unless they asked to watch something in particular. I told them to play outside, and if I were really indulgent, I'd buy them pogs now and then because they were cheap. I think we're all much better off today not letting "pop culture", that is, corporate media, define our personalities and identity back then.

The 90s were an amazing time, as long as you avoided everything that kid is about.
