Yeah, i know the obvious answer (Jan 1 1990) but when did you start a shift in pop culture? I'd say around 91-92 which were pretty much transition years. Around that time you saw the major label debuts of Nirvana and Pearl Jam, gangsta rap was rising in popularity, Sonic the Hedgehog and the Super NES debuted, comics got darker than before (image, the death of superman), and several of the major tv shows of the 80s were leaving the air (most notably the cosby show).

Either 1992 when the year "Grunge broke out". But the fashion was sort of the same until about '94 or '95.

Night Court ended in 1992, so I think you're onto something.

This is actually an interesting topic. I'm not sure where I heard it but I've heard it explained where the fashion and pop culture in general kind of almost always overlaps into the next decade for about two to three years. I remember in the early 90s that a lot of neon colors were still really popular to wear.

93. Hair metal was still trying to cling on to life. The 90s didn't really end until 2002. The 70's were still around in 82. Decades for pop usually end up being a two year delay as people resist change.

I started to realize a shift in the fall of 91 when "Nevermind" broke out, it was changing

About when the flannel finally replaced the neon.

The fun did, but I'm surprised that the spending didn't for some.....

I wouldn't tell considering I still play NES, and enjoy 80's television shows

According to HIMYM it didn't get to Canada until much later so I'll assume 1998.

As hard as I try to keep them alive, I'd also say it was still breating in 1992 and long gone by the end of 1993.
I've always thought it was strange that what a lot of folks born in the '90s consider to be "the '80s" i.e. neon colors, 'gnarly' surfer lingo, etc. was from the "California Cool" trend that lasted from about 1988-1992-ish. That feels much more '90s to me. When someone mentions the '80s, I tend to think more of feathered hair, giant eyeglasses, family sitcoms, and lots of very pastel colored clothing.

I tried explaining this to a friend before, essentially saying the same thing, although I said it was "truly dead by 1993". Also, the 70's weren't really over until 1981/82. Unfortunately, I never felt that the 00's or even the 10's had enough of their own style to really resonate the same kind of trend.
