I love how storytelling gets us into things, guys. lol
I've done a bit of reading into the 90s (USA) for my story. It was a very different time for tech, which is pervasive to how people interacted with each other, along with the cultural language of the time. (I was a little kid in the 90s, so I didn't have the teenage experience during that era. It's been a fun ride reading into stuff!) For fashion, the 90s were very much a revival of the 70s. Some parallels can be observed between the two eras. Also, the 90s were all about the rejection of the 80s... so there was a lot of want for "realness" and grit, rather than the excess and wastefulness of the previous decade. This emphasized denim, torn clothing, ill-fitting clothes (baggy or too tight), and reality television. lol
Neat little tidbits on tech:
- Phones didn't have a vibrate function until 1996 with the Motorola StarTAC.
- Text messaging was a thing in 1984, but it wasn't on mobile phones until 1992. (Not to mention, not everyone had a mobile phone. You most likely just had a landline house phone that your family used. And mobiles and cell phones weren't called "phones" because that'd be confusing it with house phones at the time... which were just called phones.)
- There also wasn't cross-network texting until 1999.
- Laptops were a thing since 1975, but they weren't really integrated into work culture until the 90s... they also weren't very affordable. Tech was insanely expensive during this era. So if you had a laptop, you most likely didn't have a desktop computer. (and if you had a game console or two, your family was most likely well off.)
- For teens with mobiles (which wasn't super common), parents would buy a prepaid minute plan for it. Once you ran out of minutes, you couldn't text or call unless it was to 911. You'd have to ask your folks for more minutes. :>
- DVDs weren't a thing until 1997.
Okay, I'll stop now. lolol
