The nineties were an excellent time. Video girls adorned in mom jeans, bras, and neon windbreakers, hair up in a half ponytail, and loud patterns in louder colours were widespread across televsion. Del Tha Funkee Homosapian wrote songs with characters such as "Doctor Bombay" and "Mistadobalina," with choruses of women singing soul to the hook. Will Smith starred in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which is now one of my favourite shows of all time - I am constantly calling things dope, or asking things like "Why's a brotha gotta play a brotha like this?" althought mostly with my family for now. Boy bands such as *Nsync abound, and can you even imagine a song called "www. Never Get Over You" would be a number 1 hit in this day and age, the late 2000's?
