The Decade of Teen

The 90's was an epic era of teenage targeted cartoons, newly defined sports and a new age of intelligence. The media couldn't give a hoot about spunky jocks or flighty bims. Music was in a creative element with acts like the White Stripes and PJ Harvey eye popping the average Joe. Guys were elated to reach a new level on Pokemon on a green or yellow gameboy and the newly credited intellectual females were slapping their knees at the hilarity of Clueless's materialisic leads. Skaters, with shaggy sun bleached hair, backwards baseball caps and baggy jeans smoked weed at skate parks and dreamed of scoring a hefty amount of greens doing the teenage dream, professional skating. Cartoons, specifically aimed at teens were aired on MTV. Bevis and Butthead gave kids a hilarious afternoon moodlifter and Daria attracted teens with a brain full of anything but air or styrophone. These shows related to the hoi polloi of the younger demographic. Teens were making a name for themselves.
