每个年代都吹着那个年代的风,每一代人都爱着那个年代的狂热。即使我们已经长大,时间将岁月改变,即使当时的热潮已然褪去,但每每忆及那些曾经的最爱,都会牵起许多单纯的过往,和那些念念不忘的美好时光。
The 1990's were a big decade for fads. Some of them you might have felt were unimportant, annoying, or really cool. But whatever you thought, you most likely followed one of them at some time. I mean, come on, a decade is a long time to go without going with the flow. So, let’s see a list of some of those old fads in order to refresh your thoughts on them。
Tamagotchi's and Virtual Pets
Tamagotchi's were handheld virtual pets that you would feed, play with, bathe, etc., so it could grow into a larger version of the original creature you started out with. It seemed like you had to spend every other second pressing some buttons just to keep this little virtual creature alive. They came in different colors and designs. Soon other companies started to make their own virtual pets that featured cats, dogs, and other more common creatures than the alien-like tamagotchi。
Pokemon
This fad all began with the TV show featuring a kid who encountered these strange creatures and started collecting them. There turned out to be hundreds of these creatures, which started a big fad. Then, the Pokemon trading cards started appearing and every other kid seemed to be battling with these cards. Soon, Pokemon were everywhere from stuffed animals, to toys, to movies, and more. It was a worldwide craze. However, like all fads, it started to die down as the kids who were introduced to it grew up, and grew out of this Pokemon fanatic phase。
Push Pops
Push Pops are lollipops that come in something which resembles a lipstick tube, but you can put your finger in it to push the lollipop up. They range in all different flavors. They're pretty convenient, still widely available, and still taste fairly good, but the fad itself has died down。
Boy Bands
Whether it was the Backstreet Boys, N’Sync, O-town, 98 Degrees or any others, millions of girls all over the world went crazy over them. Who could ignore the groups of good-looking guys with good voices, though? All the fans led to many boy bands having platinum albums and raking in millions of dollars. After 2000, the boy bands started to split up for a while and members focused on their own solo careers, such as Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys and Justin Timblerlake of N’Sync. Others went into the acting business while others settled down. Some of the bands say that they are going to come back, but who knows if they'll still be as popular as they were in the 1990's。
Grunge
On the opposite side of the pop/boy band music scene came the grunge scene. Grunge even became a way of fashion including worn out, ripped jeans and flannel shirts. Grunge brought a more rebellious state to the world。
