Helloooooo fine people. I'm a "geriatric millennial" (b. 1982) but have watched the ongoing generation wars from the sidelines. Honestly, I admire a lot of the general (generalized?) qualities of Gen X'ers and Gen Z'ers, so I mostly find it fun, and funny, to see where cultural reference points converge and collapse, rather than pitting generations against each other.
With that in mind, I wanted to quiz some of my younger coworkers on famous people that feel distinctly '90s to me and see if they A) had any clue who they were and B) would be willing to guess who they might be.
