Some people claim that 90s fashion was horrible and will never be repeated, but I say those people are complete idiots. I have a deep and lustful affinity for all 90s fashion. From plaid shirts, plaid skirts, and Nirvana t-shirts to faded Levi's and neon colors, 90s fashion will NEVER go out of style.
The 80s were just ending and the world needed a transitional period in order to evolve past the antiquated notions of jheri curls, teased-out hair-dos and cocaine. Something flashy and fun and extreme seemed like the next logical step.
It all goes back to my earliest years watching Beverly Hills, 90210. Having a sister four years my senior, being babysat by her meant being subjected to all the stereotypical teen girl television because she was always in control of the remote due to seniority. This included shows like The Real World, My So-Called Life, and the aforementioned pinnacle of teen entertainment, 90210. I would usually dread these kinds of teenage-girl-oriented television shows and loathe every minute I spent viewing them, but then I really started to like them.
Over time, the tendrils of their asinine drama and white people problems overwhelmed me with the promise of more asinine drama and white people problems to come. There was no denying that teenage entertainment had taken a hold of me and I was left alone to pick up the pieces.
All I could do was sit back, admire the beautiful women, and get sucked into the world of Donnas and Brendas and Pucks and all the good things that the 90s brought to the table. The pinnacle of 90s fashion, however, was the behemoth of teenage entertainment. There was no show that could touch the level of petty squabbles and beautiful adolescents than the one show to rule them all--Beverly Hills, 90210.
