Let's be 1996

I’m Armand trying to butch up Albert in The Birdcage.

A song about a slut getting gang banged by several guys behind her boyfriend's back was emblematic of the Clinton years

It was the best of times.

I'm a Hanson's Concert.

Oops that was 1997^^ but I stand by my previous statement. It was the best of times

I'm the 70s revival. People are listening to the Carpenters again and Grease is everywhere again. You can purchase the Grease Megamix from your local Sam Goody.

I'm Beanie Babies.

I'm Bob Dole's campaign.

I’m Winnie Madikizela-Mandela & I divorce Nelson Mandela because during his 27 years in prison he developed a snore, or something

I’m Madonna’s pregnancy

Are we at platform gym shoes or was that closer to 98’?

I’m Monica Lewinsky’s transfer to the Pentagon.

I'M THE MOST TALKED ABOUT...

THE MOST ANTICIPATED...

MOTION PICTURE OF THE YEAR!

I'm the Atlanta Olympic Bombings.

Poor Richard Jewell.

I’m Fargo

I'm this vault which will be replayed endlessly everywhere.

I'm the unibomber getting arrested.

I'm Princess Diana and I'm so happy that my divorce from Charles finally went through! I'm only 35, so I have many years of happiness ahead of me. Can't wait to see what the future holds!

I’m G hamming it up and having a ball in both “101 Dalmatians” and “Mars Attacks”

I'm Doc Martens, having a moment. AGAIN

I'm the national tour of Master Class, starring Miss Faye Dunaway.

I'm Yo Mama jokes.

I'm a HOT guy who's cruised by guys on my left and on my right simultaneouslty certain nights in the bars.

I'm Ebay and I'm new.

I'm Datalounge. I'm in my infancy and just learning to crawl over this floor with an already nacreous layer of permacum.

I’m the first flip phone.

I’m me, high on X dancing at a club in the middle of the night in cut off jean shorts, a vest and a necklace around my neck.

^a pearl cum necklace

I'm the Dallas Cowboys. We just won Super Bowl XXX against Steelers and I'm pretty sure we'll have more Vince Lombardi trophies on the years to come.

Im the people who think Friends is funny.

I'm Elaine in A Delicate Balance.

I'm the film Independence Day, released alongside the Fourth of July.

You and your friends will all rush to see THE summer blockbuster of 1996, and two days later, talk amongst yourselves and realize I was an utter piece of shit. Thanks, Emmerich!

I'm the "manager haircut" that Kate Gosselin made popular. I was originally seen on loser skid girls who hung out at the skate park.

I'm "WAZZUUUUUP?!?" and obnoxious people will repeat me all year long until you want to split their skulls.

R27, probably

I'm Walking Wounded.

The album AND the song.

I am the musical "Rent", debuting in April of 1996.

I'm Michael Flatley, the Lord of the Dance! It's my moment bitches!

I'm the mid-'90s swing music/dance revival that was gradually popularized by films like A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992), SWING KIDS (1993), and THE MASK (1994) before peaking this year with SWINGERS (1996) starring a very young and dishy Vince Vaughn.

There was no Christmas. My daughter stole it from me, or did she?

I'm the GAP cashing in on the swing craze, featuring the 'bullet time' visual effect later popularized by THE MATRIX (1999).

I'm baggy jeans.

I’m Sharon Stone losing the Oscar for an epic performance in 1995’s Casino to Susan Sarandon’s mediocre, now forgotten turn in Dead Man Walking. I won the Golden Globe though.

I’m “Sonic 3D Blast”, the last Sonic the Hedgehog game released on the Sega Genesis.

you all had a much more wholesome nineties experience than I did

r44 I was taking a lot of cock in the 90s. And some E in there too.

I was a Freshman in high school when the '90s ended, so...

Have you seen 3rd Rock From the Sun yet? It is a riot. I love Jane Curtin!

I'm the movie Beautiful Thing

I’m Meryl. “Got paycheck? Will film.”

I'm Vice President Al Gore. President Clinton and I are so popular, we just crushed Dole/Kemp, and now I can bide my time and I'll be elected in a landslide in 2000! What could possibly stop it?

I'm a Nintendo 64. I'm on the bleeding edge of video gaming technology with my square looking characters and awkward playing dynamics.

I’m The Island of Dr. Moreau.

I’m the cutest romantic comedy ever made. Eat your heart out, Meg Ryan!

I'm the DL.

I'm one year old!

Looking at the price of everything in 1996 makes me want to cry

I’m 29-year old GapPlaylists Guy wondering how I can recreate the in-store Gap playlist from four years earlier.

*sob*

Hateful foreign faction garrotted me.

I’m James Cameron, filming some new movie on a giant partial ship replica in Mexico. It’s incredibly expensive and will probably bankrupt Fox.

I'm "Star Trek: First Contact". Released November 22, 1996, I'm considered one of the best Trek movies ever, second only to "Wrath of Khan". I'm not only a good Trek movie, but a good movie in general, as people who had never seen a Trek movie saw me in theaters, and my box office reflects that.

I'm the song You're Gorgeous by one hit wonder Babybird. Despite being a rather twisted and dark parable of how photographers exploit their models, I will be played incessantly on every UK radio station and taken at face value as a sweet love song because most listeners will only ever remember the chorus. Two decades later I'll still be being played over sofa ads.

I'm Kyle, the skinny guy I dated for a few months in the summer of 1996.

I had questionable skin and a tendency not to show up at work. But I was fun, especially when I whipped out my big dick at parties and showed everyone how I could self-suck.

I'm the snowstorms and ice storms in the Northeast. Kids today don't even know what these things are.

We still get snow/ice storms in the Northeast.

R62, have your standards improved or diminished since that time?

I'm powder blue Levi's and chunky soled black leather shoes.

I'm the lesbian store manager of Border's books.

I'm shakespeare, and all of those other silly movies of miramax

I’m in the middle of the crowded dancefloor at Splash NYC, getting my dick sucked!

I'm the "chill" electronica music.

I'm Fargo, the best movie of the year.

I'm me, graduating from college, thinking that I had SO much of my life ahead of me and excited about all the interesting and wonderful things that would happen to me.

I'm the numerous Bettie Page hairstyles seen at a punk rock hootenany.

I'm the Cherry Poppin' Daddies and the Squirrel Nut Zippers.

I'm the wallet chain which gets longer every year.

I'm "Girl Power"

I'm me attending a performance "A Delicate Balance," which only furthers my distaste for Elaine Stritch (playing a drunk - what a stretch).

I'm the 30-something, seemingly ancient, gay coke dealer. I start work at 11 and go from bar to bar until I end up at the club.

My product's not the best, but everyone knows who I am and where I'll be. It's a very efficient system.

I’m tellin’ you what I want, what I really really want!
