As a person who grew up in the 90's I thought the 'film grudge' look was because in the 80's and earlier the year 2000 was often shown as futuristic utopia with things like flying cars and people living on mars. But as it became the near future, the hope had gone and we'd still have the same problems from sitting in traffic and rain to poverty and crime. Films reflected that feeling, showing that the future isn't always a brighter place and things can also decay with time.

Although I miss that era A LOT, I doubt we can return to it. Audiences and culture back then were not yet completely ruined by internet and reality trash tv. Now we've been through 20 years of turning everything into a dry realistic version of everything. Nolan's Batman compared to Tim Burton's for example. People have been so tainted by this true to life treatment of movies, that stylized movies would seem cringy and childish to them. We have a much more vulgar culture now and movies of the 90's had a bit of romanticism in them. Now it would be laughable.

When I was a teenager in the '90s, I wore a brown duster (w/contrasting beige collar) and red circular sunglasses, often with blue or khaki-color jeans, brown hiking boots, and a blue button-front shirt. I was always trying to look like a cross between Michael Biehn and Bruce Campbell (and sometimes Cyberpunk-era Billy Idol), mixing and matching different elements while also putting my own spin on it. An alternative to trench coats and dusters is the Navy-style pea coat (a la The Boondock Saints). They usually come in black or Navy blue. An alternative to the biker jacket is the M-65 field jacket (a la Travis Bickle or Clarence Boddicker). They come in all sorts of colors, including but not limited to: OD green (the classic), black, tan/beige, various shades of blue, all sorts of camo patterns, and red if you really want to make a statement. 11:29 Those are dusters. More rugged than trench coats. Mine was just like that except it was Jedi colors (Earth tones) instead of Sith colors. 12:23 He has an actual reason to be wearing shades since they prevent snow-blindness. 14:36 That's not combat gear. Certainly not the boots. Goth, sure, but not combat. 14:41 That looks more like burgundy. 15:31 / 27:51 No one back then - at least in the domain of pop culture - knew how to do a proper McMillan Tilt. Except Olivier Gruner in 'Nemesis'. He actually did it right. And left-handed, even! Note: The dumb thing actors do with handguns nowadays is they hold them high without aiming down sights properly, almost like they're trying to aim with their "third eye" or something. And not the way Alucard does it in Hellsing. Rick Grimes does it all the time in 'The Walking Dead'. Come to think of it, Detective Mills does it in 'Seven', so it might have started in the '90s. Something that's always irked me in action movies from all eras is how good guys always favor pistols over rifles. Stands as an example of how video game logic often makes more sense than movie logic. 18:43 Weird Science did it back in 1985. Oingo Boingo is the G.O.A.T.! 21:06 He did fine. Imagine Bruce Campbell as Two-Face! 22:37 If you fired that custom "stubgun" (which is of the ye olde "rabbit-ear" sidelock type, "rabbit-ear" being a slang term for double hammers) with a finger on each trigger, it would fly out yer hand! Even if you only pulled one trigger, and certain if you pulled both. 24:51 My '90s shades were a lot like those but with black rims. 28:30 A true "professional" would immediately point out to his protege (played by Natalie Portperson) that she's holding that pistol wrong. Notice the position of the thumb of the support hand. You wanna get slide-bite? Cuz that's how you get slide-bite? Actors hold handguns like that all the time. It's insulting! There's a technique called "cross-thumb," but it's only useful with single-action revolvers or while firing a double-action single-action style (which isn't done in combat, only when shooting for recreation).

I think of '00s cool as a separate thing - a ten year period that started with the release of Blade (the first big action movie to feature EDM?), and finished with Rise of the Lycans. Before Blade, the movie image of cool was still strongly influenced by macho characters from the 80s. The Crow and Tim Burton's movies were exceptions that pointed the way to '00s cool, but the Crow took years to be influential, while Burton's films, although influential, remain a distinct, separate thing. EDIT: Oh, El Mariachi! I forgot about that one! Good pick.

“Bright and colorful was out, and dark and mysterious was in.” I’m going to argue with you a bit here. 90’s still had bold and colorful (especially with geometric flourishes) but it also had the darker and grungier side running in parallel. Stone-washed Levis and Oakley Blades were still everywhere; black Levis and Oakley Romeos were more turn of the millennium. At least in my experience “colorful cool” was the norm and “dark cool” was more of a movie thing. The real enduring style that grew out of this was cyberpunk. Cyberpunk let “90’s dark cool” remain both cool and timeless, combined with technology before it got too consumerized and-if you were into Shadowrun-even magic and mysticism. Cyberpunk lets you watch Blade Runner and read Neuromancer every year and still feel like you’re researching the future instead of trying to relive your past.

Thank you for at least giving "Drive" an honourable mention - it's a massively underrated martial arts film. Great cinema? Nah, but it's fun and the choreography is really good.

I just remembered some video games in that time frame had a lot of 90s cool going on. Resident Evil 4 comes to mind. for a horror game, it has so many cool moments that takes from the Matrix and other films. Devil May Cry is also another big one, Guns, Swords, cool protag. has it all. edit: Just remembered i watched your vid on 90s cool in video games. no wonder i kept feeling like i watched a video on this subject.

My sister still has my X-mas list for '92: A dirtbike, sunglasses, a leather jacket, black boots, and a b.b gun. I was 6. Guess what my favorite movie was.

The 90s, truly the last great decade. Everyone in the movies was cool, everybody smoked, and there was still originality.
