[quote=Anonymous]Having also graduated in 1999, I have to say that the 90's were kind of a party.  I was a closeted queer person and dealt with a lot of issues because of that but I met my first out LGBT people in 1998/1999 at my first job.  It was pretty amazing seeing these people just being themselves without feeling the shame I had instilled into myself.  I recognize that everyone's teen years can feel sort of carefree but the music I listened to at the time was a lot better than what came a few years later.  9/11 hit and everything became depressing from our politics to our music.  Meanwhile the 90's was a party.

I love "Losing a Whole Year" by Third Eye Blind because of the line, "With the pierced queer teens in cyberspace" because I was a queer teen at the time and our entire generation were the first kids in cyberspace.  And of course Jumper from that same album I totally related to for similar reasons.

I really did like the music but I know that's common for those that are teens in a decade to say.  It's just that the music that followed 9/11 was so much worse for me.  Here's one last song for fun nostalgia.
