90erne

The 1990s, often referred to as the "nineties," was a decade marked by significant cultural, technological, and economic shifts. It began in the aftermath of the Cold War and saw the rise of globalization and the internet.

In terms of popular culture, the 90s are remembered for grunge music, hip-hop's mainstream dominance, and boy bands and pop divas. Television saw the emergence of iconic sitcoms and dramas, while movies explored new genres and special effects. Fashion trends were diverse, ranging from minimalist styles to vibrant, baggy clothing.

Technologically, the 90s witnessed the widespread adoption of personal computers and the nascent stages of the World Wide Web. This period laid the groundwork for the digital revolution that would fully bloom in the following decade. Mobile phones, though still bulky, also began to gain traction.

Economically, many Western countries experienced a period of growth, often dubbed a "dot-com boom" in the latter half of the decade, fueled by new internet-based businesses. However, this prosperity was not universally shared, and economic disparities persisted.

Politically, the decade saw the end of apartheid in South Africa, the breakup of Yugoslavia, and the formation of the European Union. The United States experienced a period of relative peace and economic prosperity under President Bill Clinton. The 90s were a transitional period, bridging the analog past with the digital future.
