Grade 7-8 in 1991-1993 was my middle school years in Toronto. People were feeling a bit more optimistic about the future than they are today, though you could feel things starting to fray. Bush was the president and people supported him early on, before the Iraq war and Hurricane Katrina turned people against him. Malls and movie theaters were packed every Friday and Saturday night. Streaming wasn’t a thing yet and you still had to actually go to the theater to see a new movie. This was when having a cell phone officially became commonplace among kids as well as adults, but you could still have a landline without being looked at like you had five heads. Newsboy caps on girls and younger women had a brief vogue around 05. This stayed around for a bit but really changed in the late 00s when electropop took over pretty dramatically.įashion was terrible. Popular music was a mix of Atlanta-based hip hop, dance-flavored r&b with a rapper featured in a verse, and a token hit each year for whoever won American Idol. If I wasn’t at my desktop I wasn’t on social media.īush was president for half of this time and Obama was president for the other half. Practically everyone had one or both of them and the main place we accessed it was on our desktops at home.
Social Media was dominated by MySpace and Facebook. Smartphones existed but were never really around. Nobody used Netflix and Blockbusters were still around. Almost everyone was using Satellite television, because streaming wasn’t a thing. CR-TVs were still present although flat screen tvs were slowly replacing them. Technology wasn’t similar to today nor was it similar to the 90s. Video games were primarily 6th gen consoles (PS2/XBox/Gamecube) although 7th gen consoles would gradually take over with every year that passed
Cole, and Nicki Minajįashion transitioned from baggy jeans and fitted caps to skinny jeans and snapbacks towards 2010/2011 Prominent 2010s artists became popular in the really late 2000s like Taylor Swift, Drake, J.
