Eh. It'll work itself out. Or not.

Regarding the "characterlessness of the 90's", I totally disagree. Of course, I came of age in the 90's, so you'll see it differently from me, but is a decade featuring this list "characterless"?

(Please excuse my use of sound bites but it's a concise way to describe how the decade was distinct.)

End of Apartheid, Fall of Berlin Wall
Nirvana/Pearl Jam
Gen X's slacker culture
Ska's 3rd Wave, leading into Rockabilly, Swing, Punk revivals
Peak of Rave culture
PC Gaming as we know it comes into being - First Person Shooters (Doom), Real Time Strategy (the original Warcraft).
Columbine

And, oh yeah, the invention of the World Wide Web, causing The Internet To Go Public.

The world was a very different place after the 90's ended.
