À propos de cet audio

 An instant New York Times bestseller!

“Informative, endlessly entertaining.”—BuzzFeed

“Generation X’s definitive chronicler of culture.”—GQ

From the author of But What If We’re Wrong comes an insightful, funny reckoning with a pivotal decade

It was long ago, but not as long as it seems: The Berlin Wall fell and the Twin Towers collapsed. In between, one presidential election was allegedly decided by Ross Perot while another was plausibly decided by Ralph Nader. Landlines fell to cell phones, the internet exploded, and pop culture accelerated without the aid of technology that remembered everything. It was the last era with a real mainstream to either identify with or oppose. The ’90s brought about a revolution in the human condition, and a shift in consciousness, that we’re still struggling to understand. Happily, Chuck Klosterman is more than up to the job.

In The Nineties, Klosterman dissects the film, the music, the sports, the TV, the pre-9/11 politics, the changes regarding race and class and sexuality, the yin/yang of Oprah and Alan Greenspan, and (almost) everything else. The result is a multidimensional masterpiece, a work of synthesis so smart and delightful that future historians might well refer to this entire period as Klostermanian.

You were where?
Makes you remember how significant the nineties were;; how many of today’s opinions and/or places
in today’s culture have their roots back in that decade.

Remember when . . .

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a bad book. But for a book titled nineties it felt very much like a description of why life was better when gen x was growing up. Not exactly what I was picturing based on the description.

Felt like an ode to Gen X

Great content for the audiobook format. Thoughtful social and political analyses on the 90's are blended with pop cultural anecdotes and observations in Klosterman's insightful and often hilarious signature style. His opening paragraphs that funnel into the pith of each chapter are somewhat annoying and pedantic - my only mark against.

insightful

A great review of an incredible decade with some beautiful writing and turns of phrase. The Ross Perot section was a bit too exhaustive and overall it's very US-centric (the 90s happened other places too, Chuck!). Very clearly a view of the decade through an American Gen X male perspective but Klosterman does a good job disclosing his stance from which he writes at the beginning so I can't fault him for it. Was waiting for the release of this book for a while and it was worth the wait!

Excellent yet obviously USA, male, Gen Xer-centric
