'premature nostalgification'

Apparently VH1 is putting together an "I Love the 90s" special, prompting Wendell Wittler to cry "premature nostalgification".

Personally, I do think it's too early, but there's still some things to be said about the 90s, right? Glory days and all. Anyway, here's a poll from the same page...

What's your worst pop-culture memory of the 90s? Is it--

• Tickle Me Elmo
  
• Mentos
  
• Reebok Pumps
  
• Spice Girls
  
• The Macarena
  
• parachute pants (ala MC Hammer)
  
• Jar-Jar Binks
  
• Crystal Pepsi (what the heck is this?)
  
• The Jerry Springer Show
  
• grunge

What's your best pop-culture memory of the 90s? Is it--

• "Twin Peaks"
  
• Austin Powers
  
• "Beverly Hills, 90210"
  
• "Seinfeld"
  
• Quentin Tarantino
  
• Ren and Stimpy
  
• Beavis and Butthead
  
• "The X-Files"
  
• "Friends"
  
• grunge

Note that grunge is in both categories, haha. My best pop-culture memory of the 90s has to be Friends. Hands down. The worst? It's not there ah. Pinoy kasi tayo. I think I would have to say, the Golden Lions (tama ba, Carlo Caparas and Donna Villa?) crime melodramas, like The Elsa Castillo Story, God Save Us! or Oh Hell My Husband is a Psycho Axe Murderer (The Paquita Mongpuitmo Story) or what-not. Although the Macarena comes a close second. And, oh oh oh, the Universal Motion Dancers.
