Today you can entertain yourself with a wide variety of things from tablets, to computers, even your cell phone. You can use these things anywhere or any time. That was not the case however in the 90's when the first Gameboys came out. They had a short battery span, and you could not use them at night because the screen did not have a backlight. Even with the time you could use it being limited it was still ahead of its time as a top gadget in the 90's.

Is your Tamagotchi still alive was a very popular phrase in the 90's. Before the days of Ipads, internet, and apps there was Tamagotchi's. Tamagotchi's were virtual pets that you had to carry around with you. If you didn't feed them and play with them regularly they would die. It was quite the fad in the 90's.

This is one of the original articles in regards to the death of the lead singer from Nirvana. Written by Timothy Egan, at the now "lyin times", as Trump would say. Kurt Cobain was essentially the founder of the "grunge style" that was popular during the 90's. Grunge is a fusion of punk, alternative, and heavy metal. Kurt suffered from depression coupled with drug issues.

Kurt Cobain, the ragged-voiced product of a Pacific Northwest timber town who helped to create the grunge rock sound that has dominated popular music for the last four years, was found dead today at his home here. The police said they believed that Mr. Cobain, the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter for the influential band Nirvana, killed himself with a single shotgun blast to the head.

A note was found next to Mr. Cobain's body, which was discovered by an electrician who had gone to the house this morning to do some work, said Vinette Tichi, a spokeswoman for the Seattle Police Department. Mr. Cobain was 27.

Although police officials were initially reluctant to identify the body, late today the King County Medical Examiner, Donald Reay, said a fingerprint examination confirmed that it was that of Mr. Cobain.

Nirvana is a leader among the half-dozen Seattle-based musical groups, lumped together as grunge, that combined heavy metal with a punk sensibility.

With its 1991 album, "Nevermind," Nirvana put alternative rock, the noisy, icon-smashing spawn of punk rock, into the commercial mainstream. The album sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide, knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the popular music charts and established an anthem for a generation with the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Dressed in thrift-shop plaid shirts and torn jeans, a fashion soon copied by designers around the world, Mr. Cobain and the members of his band raged against the material and synthetic trappings of pop music. They concocted a sound that was close to both the nihilistic fury of punk rock and the tunefulness of the Beatles. Nirvana's popularity signaled the acceptability not only of grunge but also of many other bands once considered far too raw and scruffy for the mainstream.

"Nirvana will be remembered for revolutionizing the state of rock 'n' roll in the 1990's, pulling it away from a processed, rather synthetic sound and returning it to something more sincere," said Michael Azerrad, the author of "Come as You Are: The Story of Nirvana," published last year by Doubleday.

As the group became successful, Mr. Cobain struggled with addictions to heroin and alcohol. He was hospitalized last month in Rome after he lapsed into a temporary coma brought on by a combination of drugs and alcohol. The coma forced his band to cut short a European tour. 'Psychic Pain'

Upon hearing of Mr. Cobain's death today, his mother, Wendy O'Connor, said, "Now he's gone and joined that stupid club." She was referring to rock stars like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison who died young after having problems with drugs.

Mr. Azerrad, who last spoke to Mr. Cobain in January, said the musician became a heroin addict, in part, because of a persistent and unexplained stomach ailment.

"He was also in a fair amount of psychic pain," said Mr. Azerrad. "He was a very sensitive person, sweet and bright, which are not the best qualities to have if you are a rock star."

Nirvana's last album, "In Utero," was released last year to critical acclaim and large sales. Mr. Cobain reproached his own fame in songs he wrote for the album, singing "I do not want what I have got" and "What's wrong with me?"

Founded in 1986, Nirvana, which included Christ Novoselic on bass and Dave Grohl on drums, produced its first album, "Bleach," in 1990 on the Seattle-based Sub Pop label. "Bleach" was recorded for $606 and initially sold 30,000 copies, respectable for an independent label but tiny by commercial standards. The album helped the group establish a strong following on the college circuit with loud live shows that sometimes ended with bouts of equipment smashing.

The band recorded its later albums with Geffen Records. The company's president, Ed Rosenblatt, said, "We are all devastated by the unbelievable tragedy of Kurt Cobain's death."

The band's success, coming out of small clubs in a distant corner of the country, helped to clear the path for other Seattle bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. Complaints About Fame

After he became famous, Mr. Cobain frequently complained about his own success. "I do not want to have a long career if I have to put up with the same stuff that I'm putting up with," Mr. Cobain said in an interview with The New York Times last November. "I'm trying it one last time, and if it's more of a pleasant year for us, then fine, we'll have a career. But I'm not going to subject myself to being stuck in an apartment building for the next 10 years and being afraid to go out-side of my house. It's not worth it."

Lori Goldston of Seattle, a cellist who toured with Nirvana last fall, said she was surprised by Mr. Cobain's suicide. "He sort of had a depressive streak but he basically seemed optimistic and had ideas for the future," she said. "But I think he was pretty overwhelmed in general by his fame."

His drug problems and squabbles over royalties nearly broke up the group, as did the travails of Mr. Cobain and his wife, the singer Courtney Love, in regaining custody of their young child, Frances, from a relative after a Vanity Fair article reported that Ms. Love had used heroin well into her pregnancy.

At Mr. Cobain's house today, a large, Northwest-style home just off Lake Washington in the Seattle neighborhood of Madrona, fans stood in the rain and cried.

"It's hard to be a young person nowadays," said Renae Ely, a 20-year-old college student. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "He helped open people's eyes to our struggles."

Jim Sellars, a 21-year-old nursing assistant, said, "The bond is hard to describe, but he was a lyricist who could feel the way we do." He said Mr. Cobain was an inspiration. "I'm still in shock, I feel so numb that someone who helped us understand is now dead."

Police said Mr. Cobain was alone at the time of his death. It is not known where Ms. Love, the lead singer of the band, Hole, and their daughter were. Over the last year, the police had been called to their house after a complaint of a domestic dispute and a gunshot being fired.

Mr. Cobain's body was found today in the upper floor of a detached garage to the side of the house.

Mr. Cobain was born in Aberdeen, a gray, sodden timber town of 16,000 people on a Pacific bay about 100 miles southwest of Seattle. His parents, Don and Wendy Cobain, divorced when he was 7, and he was given guitar lessons to keep him out of trouble. He dropped out of high school and left Abderdeen with his hometown friend, Mr. Novoselic, a co-founder of Nirvana.

Mr. Cobain has said that he always sympathized with homosexuals and felt trapped in the male culture of Aberdeen. He said that, as a teen-ager, he often felt that young men had no choice but to play sports and eventually work as loggers or in the lumber mills. Lyrics Full of Angst

Mr. Cobain's lyrics, often contradictory and full of angst, spoke to a generation overshadowed by the enormous baby boom and coming of age when jobs were shrinking.

"As a songwriter, Kurt was really one of the greatest talents of pop music," said Charles Cross, editor of the Rocket, a Seattle music magazine. "His songs were so emotional and so full of personal pain."

Mr. Cross said, "The sad thing is what we've lost on the music scene. Regretfully, his body of work is small. He could have done so much more."

When the grunge look became a fashion rage, ending up in Kmart, Mr. Cobain took note of the irony that that is where the look started. He once said he wore plaid shirts and boots because they best suited the marine climate of the Pacific Northwest. In his hometown, plaid shirts were a working a uniform well before they were a Calvin Klein fashion statement.

A recent movie, "Singles," celebrated the Seattle scene and the grunge sound. But by last year, Nirvana and the other bands identified as the grunge pioneers said they were sick of it all. When asked last year if a band that rode the wave of a revolt could still be considered an underdog, Mr. Cobain said, "I think we look ridiculous already."

His problem with heroin was told in numerous interviews. In the 1992 Vanity Fair interview, Ms. Love, implied that she had taken heroin into the late stages of her pregnancy. Using the article as evidence, child welfare officials forced the couple to surrender their child, then still an infant, to a relative.

Mr. Cobain and his wife soon regained custody. Mr. Cobain said the child was named for another tragic Seattle figure, Frances Farmer. A major movie star in the 1930's, Ms. Farmer was forced into a mental institution by her family, and underwent a lobotomy.

A Decade In Fashion: The 1990's

Now we have come to the final piece in the series of articles looking at different decades in fashion. It seems ludicrous that the last decade we are going to look at is even considered a trend, but it really is something that has been making itself well and truly known. The 90's was a time of dungarees, Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and even the Spice Girls so it would seem that finding style from this era is seemingly impossible. Well it seems to have manifested as one of the current go to styles and let's face it making some of us feel old along the way. The one thing that is clear about the 90's is that there wasn't one key trend in particular there were many, and this crossed over either other trends to create something new entirely.

Early 1990's

Grunge: The early part of this decade saw a rise in popularity of flannel and this lasted throughout much of the decade. The flannel shirts of the 90's were padded and loose-fitting for optimum warmth, and men liked to wear these with acid wash jeans, wool sweaters and leather jackets. Other pieces that were popular included anoraks and polo shirts. In Britain and the U.S. popular shoes and accessories included converse, white adidas trainers, doc martin boots, aviator sunglasses and neon coloured trainers.

Get The Look

Mid 1990's

Cool Britannia: During the mid-90's, 60's mod clothing and longer hair became popular due the success of Britpop music. This encourages the wearing of brown leather jackets, graphic print t-shirts and baggy jeans. There was a surge in popularity of Hip Hop music which brought with it oversized baseball jackets, sweatpants and tracksuits. Favourite accessories included desert boots, loafers, Chelsea boots, gold jewellery, chunky digital watches and neon was still increasing in popularity.

Get The Look

Late 1990's

Neon Kid: The late 90's saw a huge rise in neon and this became popular with a lot of the youth. It is something that was seen in the 80's and now high street stores are revamping this slightly obnoxious fashion trend. Bright colours in the form of trainers, pumps, chinos and shorts as well as many other forms of clothing have become popular as a new trend focus. Bright accessories such as watches and baseball caps have also become today's equivalent of the 90's neon kid.

Get The Look

Conclusion

The thing with trends from the 90's is that there seems to be no specific style and cohesive look. It seems to be all about being brave, bold and daring in your clothing choices. The 90's was about fun, freedom and rebellion so this is why clothes of the time were so wild and free. Personally the 90's as an era I shall not be revisiting as I lived through it the first time, how do you feel about this decade in fashion? Is it something you will be recreating in your wardrobe or will you be avoiding it as much as I will be? Let us know in the comments below.

A short article by the U.S. State Department on the growth of the American economy in the 1990's. The article also touches on the economic policies of President Bill Clinton.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The 1990s brought a new president, Bill Clinton (1993-2000). A cautious, moderate Democrat, Clinton sounded some of the same themes as his predecessors. After unsuccessfully urging Congress to enact an ambitious proposal to expand health-insurance coverage, Clinton declared that the era of "big government" was over in America. He pushed to strengthen market forces in some sectors, working with Congress to open local telephone service to competition. He also joined Republicans to reduce welfare benefits. Still, although Clinton reduced the size of the federal workforce, the government continued to play a crucial role in the nation's economy. Most of the major innovations of the New Deal and a good many of the Great Society remained in place. And the Federal Reserve system continued to regulate the overall pace of economic activity, with a watchful eye for any signs of renewed inflation.

The economy, meanwhile, turned in an increasingly healthy performance as the 1990s progressed. With the fall of the Soviet Union and Eastern European communism in the late 1980s, trade opportunities expanded greatly. Technological developments brought a wide range of sophisticated new electronic products. Innovations in telecommunications and computer networking spawned a vast computer hardware and software industry and revolutionized the way many industries operate. The economy grew rapidly, and corporate earnings rose rapidly. Combined with low inflation and low unemployment, strong profits sent the stock market surging; the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which had stood at just 1,000 in the late 1970s, hit the 11,000 mark in 1999, adding substantially to the wealth of many -- though not all -- Americans.

Japan's economy, often considered a model by Americans in the 1980s, fell into a prolonged recession -- a development that led many economists to conclude that the more flexible, less planned, and more competitive American approach was, in fact, a better strategy for economic growth in the new, globally-integrated environment.

America's labor force changed markedly during the 1990s. Continuing a long-term trend, the number of farmers declined. A small portion of workers had jobs in industry, while a much greater share worked in the service sector, in jobs ranging from store clerks to financial planners. If steel and shoes were no longer American manufacturing mainstays, computers and the software that make them run were.

After peaking at $290,000 million in 1992, the federal budget steadily shrank as economic growth increased tax revenues. In 1998, the government posted its first surplus in 30 years, although a huge debt -- mainly in the form of promised future Social Security payments to the baby boomers -- remained. Economists, surprised at the combination of rapid growth and continued low inflation, debated whether the United States had a "new economy" capable of sustaining a faster growth rate than seemed possible based on the experiences of the previous 40 years.

The 90's was really when rap, specifically gangster rap, burst onto the scenes. This is one of my favorite rap songs from the 90's by Eazy-E. Eazy-E is an American rap artist that was formerly a member of NWA. He left the group due to differences with its members and they exchanged words through music. Eazy does it.
