    Static Shock, Dragon Tales, Samurai Jack, Toonami, Colored Ketchup, some buildings that fell down or something, the horrors of the Iraq war broadcast on television every night, getting your older cousin to help you torrent Dragon ball Z, “Welcome. You got mail.”, that stupid D.A.R.E shit in school that made me WANT to do drugs, accidentally breaking my bionicle at my sister's gymnastic recital

    What a cultural wasteland of a decade, like holy shit

      Some of the cartoons you mentioned were actually good. But yeah, fuck colored ketchup.

        Oh, yeah they were amazing, but they weren't enough to make up for the sheer cultural and political derangement that gripped the country

      that stupid D.A.R.E shit in school that made me WANT to do drugs,

      I remember the first time I got super high on my own volition, it was during an extra-long break period the school had before the drug talk assembly. If it wasn't for that break, I couldn't have had the same free period to get some older kid to roll my joint for me. And then the assembly itself was so out of date and boring...

      Thanks, ineffectual anti-drug crusaders!

      Static Shock

      Bring back Static Shock!

      I was watching Black Lightning, hoping it would be similar enough but I never stuck with it.

        When I was a kid Static Shock confused me because I wasn't sure if he was Black Lightning or not. like, I thought he was supposed to be a sort of Superboy character that would basically end the series as Black Lightning once he had matured.

          Yeah and I had the inverse, lol....

          Expecting Black Lightning to have the same back story as Static Shock!
