Today the US was buzzing about things #inthe90s on Twitter, as the hashtag maintained it’s spot at the top of the trending topic list. That got us thinking about just how trendy and ahead of the game we really are. In July, we wanted to enjoy a moment of nostalgia so we challenged people to broadcast their #AIMname and reveal their 90s screennames. Check out the results of our social experiment in the video above.
And, just for fun, what did you tweet about today with #inthe90s? We’re betting it had something to do with Doug Funny, All That, NSYNC or DunkAroos…

I made this video using the iPad app Phoster and creating a bunch of individual slides, dumping those (in the right order) into the photo gallery and filming the swiping through of images on a Panasonic GF1. Edited to speed up swipes in a few places but overall about an hour+ of creating the slides, two takes to film and a short edit to create a unique way to showcase the results of a hashtag campaign.
Who is Kanye West?
Jacked from Nahright. Damn, I miss old Kanye. College Dropout was such a huge part of my life when it came out. I was DJing on college radio and probably played every track on that album (minus workout plan) on the air over that year it was released. I remember seeing Ye at Uconn. He bailed on giving me an interview and cancelled all media appearances because the sound in the stadium was too ‘fucked up.’ Kanye literally sat down on the edge of the stage and said he would wait till the sound was fixed before he would continue on.
I remember recounting this to my college rep, Chico, at Def Jam. He says, “oh, Kanye didn’t give the 2 hour performance? Brother loves himself too much.” Or something like that. He was clowning around about Kanye loving to perform, but really thinking he was the greatest. I guess time is proving he had an idea of how big he would be, but I miss the slightly more humble Kanye. The one who thanked Mos Def and Talib Kweli at the end of every show.
Recently Fake Shore Drive posted up a mixtape Kanye West - The Lost Songs. The link on their site is dead, but you can download it here to remember some of the old chipmunk classic Kanye.
