Wilson Phillips and Roxette on the radio, girls wearing Benetton and ESPRIT. the cultural vibe was like a dentist's reception.

there was still a lot of energy in the culture in 1986 -- Top Gun, hair metal, Rocky IV, Cold War anxiety, go-go American Psycho economy, etc.

but something happened towards the end of the the 80s, like 1989 into 1990, where this incredible, once-in-a-century insipidness seems to have set in (the post-cold war affluence dividend/malaise, or whatever). it's hard to characterize it.

Gen-X was defined by a feeling of anticlimax, disaffection, of whining that 'nothing ever happens anymore! oh well, whatever, nevermind.' and when you watch media from that period, you can kind of understand their mood. it just seemed like the whole world was in a holding pattern for years, watching 'Arachnophobia.'

USSR fell, we were completely dominant at the "end of history", and then the despair of nothingness seeped in, no challenge, no purpose to pursue

I still think Whitney Houston singing the Anthem in 1991 represents the peak of the American Empire. There’s even a huge Marlboro man ad inside the stadium

cher straddling a naval artillery gun like a gigantic cock in her 1989 music video for Turn Back Time feels like one of the key moments in western hegemonic triumphalism in retrospect.

there is a bit of extra texture in the sense that cher came from the armenian diaspora, and she was celebrating the impending end of the USSR using the symbols of american military power. it was the american empire flaunting itself using a cheeky e pluribus unum reference.

Sure, but that version of Cher also launched thousands of drag queens, and look at the trouble we’re in today.

that's one of the dangers of a triumphalist era. excesses happen.

1990 was smack in the middle of my favorite period for horror fiction, the 'New Horror' era of about 1984-1994
