This was a discussion of the ’90s through the prism of people who lived in the suburbs during this period, picked up their flannel at the mall, and bought their CDs at the local mall’s CD store as well. Growing up in the ’90s in New York City, like I did, kids who wore flannel and Doc Martens bought them at the malls out in Nassau County and ‘zines? I never saw a single one. I have no idea to this day where you could find them and I spent a lot of time on St. Mark’s Place in the East Village in the mid-’90s.
