Top 10 Heroes of the 90s

1. The Welch's Commercial Girl (Click the Link...Pretty un-90s with the impressive technology, right?)

(Now, we all remember her as the adorable, Shirley Temple prodigy, but let's not forget the juice she's endorsing...you never disappoint, faithful Welch's.)

2. Boy Bands and Girl Groups

Backstreet Boys, N*Sync, that obscure band that sang "Jump, Jump, the House is Jumpin'" [start video from 1:07 to 1:43] on SmartHouse: we will never forget your perfectly synchronized dance moves or spiky, gelled hairstyles that revolutionized the world.

And TLC, Spice Girls, and Destiny's Child: from you will young girls around the world demand that their man say their name or risk lookin' kinda shady, and remember to never let LeftEye take the spotlight. [side note: It is still questioned as to what made acronyms so promising for artists such as N*SYNC, TLC, and 3LW; however, what is known is that a shift in stage name trend occurred in the early 2000s with the popularization of the preceding "Lil'" title, following the introduction of Lil' Kim, Lil' BowWow, Lil' Romeo, and the more recent* Lil' Wayne and Lil' Mama].


3. Julia Roberts

This is just from personal experience, but I recognized Julia as an A-list star, even at six years old. She is one of the few 90s stars to have not faded into has-been oblivion.


4. Whitney and Britney

We remember you as the preacher's wife and the singing schoolgirl. After brief downhill spirals during the 2000s, 2009 and the coming decade seem to be promising to their careers. Shoot for the stars, itneys, shoot for the stars.

5. Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

These were "real" heroes of the 90s. Oh, crime fighting reptiles, and color-distinctive jumpsuits, how you mesmerize me!











EXTRA: VILLAINS OF THE 90S:


Mike Tyson and O.J.

oh, the controversy.


*"recent" being a term spanning anywhere during the 2000s decade, possibly referring to as "recent" as last year (as in 2009) or ten years ago (as in 2000)
