	Is it too early for nineties nostalgia? Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I'll tell you what is one thing it is not too early to nostalgize about. Tamagotchi! Remember those little beeping plastic pests? One minute, they're all the rage, everyone has them, everyone's taking care of them, beep beep beep in the classroom, and then - gone! Forgotten! Like the wind! The perfectest example of fad ever, I tell you!

Another thing of the nineties - Rwanda. At one time, the massacre of Tutsis by Hutus (or was it the other way around?) was the great tragedy of the time, and then - it was forgotten. The human suffering, now only occassionally remembered, in "Rwanda... Oh yes, that Rwanda" kind of way.

Any other examples of nineties nostalgia? Hey, it's the only decade many of us have nostalgizing about!

Backstreet Boys, Hooty and the Blowfish...many more, probably.

The last truely horrible looking cars were made in the early nineties.

On that note, Hansons. I don't think that Backstreet Boys count yet, since they're still in the collective memory. But the Hansons have been gladly forgotten.

Let me just say one (two?) word(s) that will cause much pain inside you: "Mmm-bop".

Another band: Rednex. Still remember that good ol' "Cotton-Eyed Joe"?

I never fell to tamagotchi, but I knew a girl who was called "mamagotchi" at that time ...
The Rwanda thing - will happen to Afghanistan quite soon, I fear. And nostalgia is a positive memory which I don't have about Rwanda. I'd call this simply forgotten.

YES! YES! AMIGAS! Once there was a time, when PC wasn't the only 'puter around, and the Great Wars weren't between operating systems but (gasp) between different computers! I remember having an Amiga 600 and arguing about it's superiority against PC users.

I also had a Commodore-64, before the Amiga.

One of my friends had the opinion that Hansons would become a punk band after their voice broke. I think he severely overestimated their staying power.

There's a student pub that I visit quite often mostly 'cause I know others there and they got cheap kilkenny on tap. The drawback is that the people that's in the council there for the last couple of years are dominated by a bunch of girls that always want eurotechno and other music from the time they where young (as in 13-16 years old; early 90s). I swear, the next time I hear 'Pump it" with technotronics or anything by Gyllene Tider I'll kill someone.

Believe it or not, Rwanda and Bosnia are still big deals in the foreign-policy community. They may have dropped off the public's radar, but the planners are a different story...

You mean the country (with a funny language where "pakata" means "runkata" and the other way around) or that ship? The latter, barely. I was like 9-10 at that time.

When was the last time? For me, Apulanta pretty much began and ended with "Anna Mulle Piiskaa".

I just downloaded Mmmbop by Hanson. I don't recommend it to anyone, unless they want to hear pre-voicebreaking teens going "Mmmh, aah". And if they want, they have problems.

You mean the time when I played the first time, on a friend's computer, three persons, until 5.30 in the morning? Riding back home in the new sun (t'was summer)? Buying it for myself on the Amiga? Waiting 20 minutes until the world was generated with a 7.16MHz computer?

C'mon Stefu, Viivakoodit, for example came out 2001. Or 2000.

Ooh, remembered another: Vanessa Mae. And that reminds me of something more unpleasant: Linda "Brava" Lampenius, whose 15 minutes of (Finland) fame are thankfully finito. (I think it was, paradoxically, that Playboy shoot that destroyed her.)

Also, in nineties, there was a time when Matti Nykänen was a great ski-jumper instead of a complete, utter and total joke.

I think Eddie the Eagle of the great British ski-jumping nation also belongs to nineties nostalgia ...
