Also, it was possibly my best year in school, rivaled only by the year 2000.

Absurd. There is no way I could be posting on a forum with a person who got married in a year that doesn’t exist, ipso facto, you are refuted.

I couldn't afford a PS1 or Saturn so I rented them from Game Proz in Houston TX off 489 Uvalde rd. It used to be where this ladies clothing store is now.

I rented Panzer Dragoon and a Clockwork Knight for the Saturn but the PS1 games were all rented out so I rented the demo disc because I wanted to play Wipeout so bad. I recorded all that on VHS and still have that tape.
Christmas 1995 I got a PS1.

Well as I said,
MetalAlien
, a lot of work has been done retroactively to create a fake memory of 95, and it appears that you are in on it. It makes sense- Metal/Mental alien. Alien ideas, alien years. Fake years, controlled time, space, world domination.

took up the fan and gloves, and, as the hall was very hot, he kept fanning himselves all the time he went on talking: ‘Dear, dear! How queer everything is to-day! And yesterday things went on just as usual. I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is, Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!' And he began thinking over all the children he knew that were of the same age as himself, to see if she could have been changed for any of them.`I'm sure I'm not

Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is--oh dear! I shall never get to twenty at that rate! However, the Multiplication Table doesn't signify: let's try Geography. London is the capital of Paris, and Paris is the capital of Rome, and Rome--no, that's all wrong, I'm certain! I must have been changed for

Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
`How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spread his claws,
And welcome little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!'
`I'm sure those are not the right words,' said poor

, and his eyes filled with tears again as she went on, `I must be

I have done a lot of reasearch. Many people have isolated memories of specific events that happened in 1995, but cannot remember anything else outside that. Tell me, do you remember November 1st? Or November 9th? What did you wear, what time did you wake up? What were you wearing?
The fact that you cannot remember proves my point. All you have are isolated digital insertions, or mislabeled 96 memories.

You're either being kinda sorta funny or really dumb.. most people can barely remember a day by day from a month ago let alone x years ago. By your logic last May didn't happen for me~ by your logic there's nothing amazing about 95 because the same qualifier you are holding it to happened to every other year in the 90s~

Absurd. My methodology is so much stronger than your strawman. Just cuz you don’t remember a few days doesn’t mean you can toss out all logic and rigor.

I was 24 in 1995. There weren't many from that top 50 list I saw in theaters but there are a few. Die Hard 3 and Demon Knight for sure.

I wrote a banger dealing with this sort of shit. Drums suck though, I need someone to write some sick beats for the tune. Alas.
Man, 95 huh! Got mad first taste of tang, first big boy concert, first car wreck, first time a bird shit on me, first time I heard TOOL, RAtM... good year all in all.

I was 16..
I was getting shit for 'wearing rap clothes and skater clothes together' while listening to my Korn, Deftones, Nas, and Redman CD's...
Buying DJ clue mix tapes and being stoned out of my gourd trying to find my way of my buddies friends basement while Becks 'Mellow Gold' blasted in the background.
Doing 'at home' facial piercings with an ice cube and sewing needle to our eye brows trying not to give ourselves permanent bells palsy face by hitting a nerve.
Buying straight up CAUSTIC type chemicals at Sally's Beauty Supply to dye are hair...yellow...
Did it exist tho? I mean, it was a haze due to the copious amounts of acid I was doing while drinking Mickys 40oz'ers..
But God damn it was fun!
I would kill for a time machine ☹

Sorry I missed your reply Mr Lock. At the moment I do not.. sorry about that. It's just game play video BTW. I just hooked them up to my VCR so I could watch the game play even after I returned the consoles.

Windows 95 was such a huge deal. there was the famous commercial using the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up" to promote the GUI's new Start button.
this was the year my mom got remarried and i moved out of the house to live with my dad instead. mom and my stepdad got the house and had extra money so they had cable and consoles and stuff. my dad to this day foregoes cable for over the air TV, cos he is a lovable cheapskate. anyways this year is big in my mind, mostly because it was the last year i had MTV and VH-1 to watch every morning before and after school.
this was the year i discovered the Flaming Lips and first got into indie/alt rock and non-Beatles music in general. from here it was just a few years before Allmusic and a lifelong Pixies/My Bloody Valentine/Bowie obsession. Clouds Taste Metallic was the album released that year, and it is one of the best psychedelic noise pop records of all time. the song "Bad Days" was featured in the film Batman Forever to soundtrack Jim Carrey in his crazy lair inventing the Riddler and instantly i fell in love with the weird Beach Boys X country & western X noise punk vibes. to this day one of the greatest songs. it is iconic in it's imagery. there is something mythic in what he is singing about here. "You have to sleep late when you can, and all your bad days will end" is a true message of hope in a dark, cynical time.
easily the best Garbage song ever. my god Shirley Manson was so hot. i was 14 years old. that song and that video.

1995 was also a landmark in the Japanese indie rock Shibuya-Kei scene. the first Kahimi Karie album was released:
Shibuya-Kei elders and master Pizzicato Five had started releasing their work in the US on Matador Records in 1994, and continued with their second release The Sound of Music in 1995, which was accompanied by promotional singles and music videos. songs like "Twiggy Twiggy" perfectly demonstrated the genre's nostalgia-happy mix of '60s "easy listening" and modern drum n bass/dance music production styles.
1995 also saw the debut of the experimental pop musician Takako Minekawa, who released a full length album as well as a Christmas EP that year.
finally, there is Keigo Oyamada AKA Cornelius's landmark release, 69/96, which rocketed him from teen pop tv stardom to stadium-filling album producing world-touring superstardom. this album is easily one of the greatest of the 90s. he was called "The Japanese Beck" due to his crazy mix of genres, hip hop and heavy metal, psychedelic, hawaiian, orchestral, it's all there. this album featured players from the whole Shibuya-Kei scene, including members of Buffalo Daughter. Cornelius later married Takako Minekawa and produced many albums of hers and Kahimi Karie, as well as Pizzicato Five.

Epic backfire, or was this thread nostalgia bait?
1995 the mid point of the greatest decade ever. Maybe its nostalgia talking or maybe not but 90's was peak. Music/Entertainment/Gaming/Internet etc... The Cold War had just ended and it was looking like we were heading to a time of peace and prosperity. Many didn't know that a decade later it would fall apart and 20 years later it would all go to hell.
It was also this weired time where people were both nihilistic but happy. 90's songs have this distinct happy but melancholy sound to them that is unmistakable to anyone who grew up during the era.

I had my first kiss in 1995, so it was a fairly memorable year for me. Not that it was a particularly nice experience - it was on a bus full of other kids on the way back from a school trip. She was a little older and more experienced and I was kind of pressured into it . Looking back, it would have been much better for my first to have been with a girl I actually knew and liked, just the two of us, maybe somewhere nice like a park. Oh well.
On a happier note, I got a Saturn that Christmas, and all my friends got a Playstation (the story of that gen, ha!), so it felt really exciting, very much "next gen", with real 3D polygon graphics in the home.
Man, whenever I listen to that album it just brings back memories of going to my friend's house on a Friday night while his parents were out and getting drunk with alcopops (i.e. sweet alcoholic drinks for little underage punk kids too pussy to drink real alcohol). It was pretty much the soundtrack of that period for me. Unfortunately, one night I got so drunk that I ended up throwing up all over my bed after I got home. My parents thought I was on drugs and called around to all my friends' houses to find out what I had taken. They were forced to confess about our clandestine parties, so that put an end to our Friday night fun, and everyone got into trouble with their parents as a result. Needless to say, I wasn't the most popular person for a period afterwards!
I don't really feel nostalgic for that time though, at least not in the sense of thinking that it was some golden time in my life or anything. I wouldn't mind going back, but mostly to give my former self a slap and some life advice (that could probably be said about any year in my life though )
What's that movie about, and what is the context of that scene? Is it worth watching?
