Of course the budget was better balanced back then thanks to the administration of the time. It also helped that we were not in a quagmire of a conflict back then. I was a kid back then and that era will always hold a special place in my mind, but even I remember all the censorship of the time.. how violent video games/music were to blame for postal incidents.. we are living in the golden age of acceptance.. no longer do people have to give their inner geek.

    If you compare these to commercials from 1993 and 2003, this feels a lot more like 2003. I feel like 1998 to 2004 were very similar all around. Early 90s and late 90s are very different from each other, but I guess that goes for every decade.

      @Theonetruewonderfly Před 3 lety +6

      You are correct, 1998 to 2004 are similar. I divide up the years into 5 year "eras", but I do it more like this: 1998 to 2002 is it's own era, 1993 to 1997 are "the 90s", 2003 to 2007 are " the 2000s", 1988 to 1992 is it's own era. Because a commercial from 1999 (the hair styles, narration, camera work, etc) will look like a commercial from 2002, but not like a commercial from 1992. Or something like that.

      So true. And notice there is a lot of diversity in those ads but they're not rubbing it in anyone's face. I grew up as a black kid in the 90s and I think it's safe to say I was reminded of being black a lot less and treated like an individual a lot more than most kids of the current generation. I was a liberal back then (watching Politically Incorrect on ABC at midnight and voting for Ralph Nader) but now, although my views haven't changed, I'm basically considered right-wing by everybody now. We have truly evolved backwards.

    I like the softer color tones they used in a lot of these ads in the late 90s. It all had a very autumnal feel in the advertising and pop culture. Just look at some of these ads and videos like The Verve Pipe Freshmen, Sunny Came Home, Save Tonight, Dunkan Sheik Barely Breathing, Closing Time, and movies like Scream, and others set in college campuses during the fall and shows like Dawson's Creek that had the same pleasing soothing aesthetic.

    I surprised how many of these I remember, some vividly. If this was from just before 2000, I would had been 16. Also those Sara Lee cheesecake bites were amazing, and also insanely unhealthy.

    Before people were afraid of each other. I remember going out and seeing people who were strangers to each other, actually engaging in conversations, whether it was at the mall, the super market, the park, wherever.
