People who weren't around in the 90s will never be able to truly appreciate the Seinfeld scene where he gets interrogated about Melrose Place.

Why yes, that is me... Staring wistfully off into the distance, reminiscing about my lost youth as the voice of Margo Timmins lingers hauntingly in the air.

I am a Canadian who came of age during the Grunge era. So it should come as no surprise when I tell you that my closet pretty much looks like this.

I recently discovered that my kid's school has dozens of copies of the 1990 edition of the Junior Encyclopedia of Canada. Honestly, I could have spent the entire day reading them. I am... very much uncool.

I'm old enough to remember when cars had hood ornaments. They were fucking awesome. As a society, we are so much worse off for not having them anymore.

I'm sorry, but if you haven't used orange foam headphones to listen to 12 cassette tapes that you bought from Columbia House for $0.01, then you haven't really listened to music.

Look, I've done a lot of things that I'm not proud of and I'm confident that I'll do more. But paying surge pricing for a Baconator is not going to be one of them.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?
