It seems like everywhere we look, the 90s are making a raging comeback. And luckily these two crayons remember the 90s very well. So here’s a Spleen-did and Spleen-don’t look to the 90s comeback scene.
Fashion
Stone washed denim – Spleen-don’t
What worked on A.C. Slater in 1991 doesn’t translate in 2011. Our choice is to go for a dark colored wash in a hunter green, red or cobalt blue.
Plaid/Flannel – Spleen-did
What rocked on Eddie Vedder is still looking amazing 16 years later. A flannel top looks great paired with jeans for a casual weekend look, or pair a plaid shirt with a fitted pencil skirt to make a funky work outfit. Just leave the loose tattered jeans in the attic.
Movies
Scream – Spleen-don’t
We love a good campy scary movie as much as anyone, especially one that features one of Drew Barrymore’s finest performance, but one Scream movie is enough. It’s like The Fast and the Furious franchise, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing.
Toy Story – Spleen-did
It’s horrifying to think that when the first Toy Story came out we were 12 and the Atlanta Braves were marching towards their first World Series since the team was in Milwaukee but time sure flies. Luckily the whole gang knew how to get better with age.
TV
Melrose Place – Spleen-don’t
90210 2.0 started off very rocky. Did they really have to break up Donna and David or have Kelly impregnated by Dylan? But the show found its stride. The same could certainly not be said for the Melrose Place remake which mercifully was canceled after one season. Some things should be left up to the professionals. And we mean Heather Locklear…NOT Ashlee Simpson!
Teen Nick – Spleen-did
Remember Snick? Well if you’re of a certain age you were dressing like Clarissa, hoping you could turn into liquid like Alex Mack, totally Scared of the Dark, proving you had Guts, or at the very least that you were All That and singing do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do because the Doug theme song was stuck in your head. And now thanks to Teen Nick, your 90s TV memories are back with re-runs of your favorite shows. Hey Dude, how cool?
Music
NKOTBSB – Spleen-don’t
Ok, so for us the New Kids on the Block and the Backstreet Boys are bookends for our boy band fanaticism, but this in no way means we needed a joint effort. We’ll still rock out to “Hangin’ Tough” and “I Want it that Way” when they come on the radio we just change the channel when the new stuff comes on.
Wilson Phillips – Spleen-did
Did you know, things will change, things will go your way, if you hold on for one more day. Well at least that’s true for Wilson Phillips. Quite possibly one of the best parts of this year’s hit comedy Bridesmaids, Wilson Phillips has experienced a mini-resurgence. It even got Chynna Phillips on Dancing with the Stars. (Oh well, not everyone’s a winner.)
Sports
Buffalo Bills – Spleen-did
In order to be a Spleen-don’t of sports you’d have to be absolutely terrible for 20 years (insert Pittsburgh Pirates jokes here) but the Bills have finally turned the corner. With a Harvard graduate at the helm of their offense, maybe the Bills can finally bring home a Vince Lombardi trophy sometime soon. Or at the very least kick the ball through the uprights. (Sorry, too easy!)
