SO many to choose from! Biggie Prince Alice In Chains Nirvana Pearl Jam Dave Matthews Band Those are just the few coming to mind. I’ll probably return to edit!
I can close my eyes and put myself back in this time like I'm still in it. Life is so vivid and memorable when you're young. Then you go through a time warp that feels more like a weird dream than reality, as if I'll wake up any minute and still be in 1997. I'm ultimately happy with how things turned out, but I miss the 90's so much.
Man. I was 15 in 97. Graduated high school in 2000. The 90s will forever be the greatest decade of my life. Not because of the lack if technology, not because of the issues of the day but because of the simplicity and absence of interference from being bombarded by opinions and information from all corners of the universe at all times. That and the weirdness of the decade was awsome.
@@yoced1468 That's the way I look at it. I don't hate technology by any means, but there was something cool about it when it was in its infancy. It was more fun in a way. The whole vibe in communication was diffrent and it was "quieter" if that makes sense....
I turned 18 on the very last day of '97 and this is also the year I began my senior year of high school. What a year! Seems like yesterday. ❤ RIP Princess Diana and Biggie 🙏🏼❤
Hi there, Good evening. I'm David Matthet by name. And originally from Italy. I am currently working in Mexico. And am involved in oil drilling and exploration. I enjoy exploring new places and trying out new activities such as hiking and mountain biking. Seeing your profile put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears. And I hope to hear from you soon Ok.
One of the greatest stars of comedy, Chris Farley died on December 18, 1997 in his apartment in Chicago, Illinois. He died of a drug overdose at the young age of 33. I always enjoy watching Chris Farley in movies like “Billy Madison”, “Tommy Boy”, “Black Sheep”, “Beverly Hills Ninja”, and “Almost Heroes”. Farley was a star on Saturday Night Live. In my opinion, his best sketch on SNL was Matt Foley.
@@Society.263 there is a video of some animatics from the Chris Farley Shrek on TH-cam and it makes me wonder "what if he didn't pass away and this was the Shrek we got?"
Here are the top 10 songs of 1997, according to the Billboard year-end singles chart: 10. Wannabe- Spice Girls 9. How Do I Live- LeAnn Rimes 8. Return of the Mack- Mark Morrison 7. Don't Let Go (Love)- En Vogue 6. I Believe I Can Fly- R. Kelly 5. Can't Nobody Hold Me Down- Puff Daddy featuring Mase 4. Un-Break My Heart- Toni Braxton 3. I'll Be Missing You- Puff Daddy featuring Faith Evans and 112 2. Foolish Games/You Were Meant for Me- Jewel 1. Something About the Way You Look Tonight/Candle in the Wind 1997- Elton John
I remember all of this! This timeline series is real awesome! It's a digital time capsule, taking a trip down memory lane. I sometimes feel stuck in the past, but that's all right.
All of the Timeline videos of the 80's seem to be happier than any of the Timeline videos of the 90's. Personally, I had fun in both decades, but it does seem like the 80's were much more fun.
@@sweetzs100 yes fellow 97! I'm so fed up of seeing people saying you're old in your 20s. I joked about it ofc and know I'm young. I know I'm only 25 and 26 in 5 months. Soooo young! Loved my 20s so far apart from covid haha!!
I like this series a lot. It's fun to watch with someone a generation older than I who was actually cognizant during this time and hearing their interpretations. Thank you for your solid work!!
@@Fancylad69 yeah, sad but true. I'm from The Prodigy's hometown (and have ALWAYS been a huge fan) and went to Keiths funeral procession at a local church. The church had speakers set up outside for all us fans and the turn out was incredible. Fans from all across the world there to celebrate a life. After the service it turned into a impromptu rave with a nearby pub blaring Prodigy music into the streets. Thousands turned up, check out some TH-cam vids about it. An initially sad day that turned into a great day.
1997 was such a formative year for me. Princess Diana, who was my idol, died the day before I moved to the UK permanently after growing up in Asia for the first 11 years of my life. When the news broke that she was in a car accident, I started drawing Get Well Soon cards that I intended to post to Buckingham Palace when we landed in the UK. A couple of hours later, when they announced her death, I was midway through my second card and my pencil just dropped out of my hand in shock. It was a pretty vivid memory. (Psst, my favourite 90s band at the time was The Spice Girls)
This is the closest to a time machine I’ll get to the 90s, I was born 96 so I missed everything/don’t remember. Thank you for this. I’m sure the 90s was the best decade
Fucking FINALLY. Why am I so addicted to this series. Now I gotta get out of bed, make some coffee and take a fat dab before I watch this. RIP Diana Spencer, who wasn't a commoner but actually was a proper English Lady.
I just listened to a deep dive into Princes Di's death. Her driver being drunk sounds so nefarious, in reality, he was off of work for HOURS when he was called back to work. I'm not excusing him for drunk driving, but he wasn't working, he wasn't a driver, either. Check out the You're Wrong About podcast, for the super informative story of Princes Di, and other debunking.
I've been through that tunnel in Paris and I can't imagine going 65mph through there. There is tons of traffic and some major dips followed by curves . The taxi driver taking me through it was pointing out how alot didn't make sense about that.
Princess Di's death is super suspicious Along with JFK I'm thinking of all super high-profile deaths the world has seen in those past 58 years, those two stand out for me as most likely to be proven as homicides in the future - if the pertinent data is released somehow And that is only going to happen by one of three ways - covert intelligence gathering, an admission of culpability, or a security breach where the information is kept - none of which are very likely In fact i would add epstein on to that list, to form a trio, except the first two were esptein'ed before it was common knowledge that that sort of thing was commonplace among elite individuals who had lost favour with the powers that they commingled with I heard somewhere, from someone who may or may not have had ties at one point to the intelligence community, that there are two preferred methods of assassination: auto accidents and apparent suicides. While in cars the target is at their most vulnerable and exposed, and a crash that looks like an accident carries more than enough plausible deniability. As well as it being in a wide open space where entry and exit routes can be effectively planned and the attack co-ordinated with precision. Of course an open-top limousine with a 360 angle of attack is more or less what would be considered a 'perfect opportunity'. If this isn't an option, i.e. the subject is in custody, or in seclusion in accomodation, then a 'suicide' scene can be adequately set up. If all this fails, untraceable poison (documented in KGB manuals) can be slipped to cause an apparent heart failure or brain haemorrhage. Did you know only around 20 drugs are tested in a standard post-mortem toxicology screening? Anything above that costs exorbitantly more, but on rare occasions families unhappy with a coroner's report have gotten a secondary examination and paid for much more comprehensive tests, only to often reveal the presence of high doses of other substances that should not have been there and could have been a direct cause of the person's death. Now just think how many times that has happened and we don't know about it, or what kinds of biotoxins are at the disposal of countries with the most elite level security and intelligence agencies. They wouldn't be very good at what they do if we knew all of their capabilities and access to materials now would they. Not that I'm saying that was the case in any of these three... _accidental_ deaths I could offer much more but I don't want to go on and on. Just a couple more notes on Princess Di that you may find interesting, and are not common knowledge - there was a white fiat that was observed right in and around of the mercedes at the crash site and was never identified nor the driver come forward with critical witness testimony. 2) An SAS operative - UK equivalent of Green Berets, missions sworn to secrecy under oath, so often used for highly sensitive operations - admitted to his wife while they were going through a particularly messy divorce that he was involved in Di's murder. Take from that what you will I'm not indicting anyone for a crime here with any of these cases. I just find them fascinating in how suspect they are And, in the modern age with the ease of transfer of information, we are getting better at sharing crucial data about an event before the media can censor or tamper with it. Remember how they refused to report on epstein for years? And in the modern digital internet age, their official story is the laughing stock of the world and farcical to take at face value. We've come far.. but there's still a long way to go
Weird History, I hope you know what greater good you're doing with these series, both keeping history alive and bringing back lost memories in a so well done fashion. My wish is that after the 90s, you'd go back and cover the 70s and 60s. Please?
Diana got more attention because... yeah, the glamour factor... but also because she was far younger and just starting a whole new life for herself as a non-royal. She left behind two children. Mother Theresa had lived a long full life.
I was only 10 back in '97. So many cool, crazy and tragic things happened in the 90s. But I did get to stay up late sometimes and watch South Park with my grandmother, which at the time was awesome since my mom never knew about it LOL.
1997 was the highest point ever in my life. So many things happened in ‘97 that would just not happen today. The level of optimism and the little knowledge of everything going on in the world. We felt unstoppable. The world was out there to be explored. Life went slow. It feels like a nostalgic dream. Definitely looking back it feels like a dream now. Wish to go back and relive those days so much. 1997 its where its at. And we thought things would just go better in the next century. THAT was the better time. Not the 21st century.
I moved to Germany early 1997. Some of the best years of my life. Also a 2 year separation before divorce is very helpful. I was going to divorce my husband and we ended up separating for 3 years. In that time we worked it out and renewed our vows. We are stronger and happier than ever. I'm not saying that will happen to every separation, but at least it gives the marriage a chance to heal. Marriage should not be viewed as easily disposable.
A legally mandated separation period in my divorce was just a way for my ex to continue the abuse, needlessly fighting things despite all it accomplishing was increasing our legal bills. It just meant having to live in the mausoleum of a failed relationship.
@@suchwow244 no actually. We have kids and I worked 40 hours a week. I don't sleep around. I didn't even date because I was so devastated that the marriage was fractured. I was still in love.
I remember when Princess Diana died. I was eight years old at the time but I remember her death being all over the news. I also remember having one of those Tanagotchi pets. Those things would always die on me. LOL
@@CrystalClearWith8BE I was 13 and me and my mother saw the special announcement on a Sunday evening but one moment I remember during her death was both William and Harry breaking down crying that broke my heart.
@@cherylcampbell9369 We thought we were buried in the tech and info back then... I'm an electronics tech for a living. So, I'm no slouch when it comes to checking out the newest thing. But, even I say this to my son and other people all the time... "The more I learn, the less confident I am in what I feel like I knew."
So lucky, born 1979 and the first Timeline is 1980. There have been ---Timeline--- videos for every single year from 1980-1997! I am blessed with ---Timeline---.
These are great. I got a Closed-Head Injury in November of 1995, so my timeline of memories is scattered, and these videos help me put it into order. Thank you. I was pretty sure I watched the Ellen Degenerate episode in 1995, while I was still in high school, but I guess it was 1997?
Exciting year for action & sci-fi movies: Starship Troopers, The Fifth Element, Face/Off, Con Air, Air Force One, Men in Black, Contact, Gattaca, Conspiracy Theory, Tomorrow Never Dies, Mr. Nice Guy, The End of Evangelion, etc...
You certainly don't see blockbuster summer release movie hype like that anymore...even BC (before Covid). The 90s were like the 80s on steroids in terms of excess.
I remember the whole Princess Di thing I was driving for Greyhound and I was in Nashville,TN when I heard about the accident but I didn't think much of it but by the time I got the bus back to Columbus Ohio she had died.
That’s interesting because by the UK’s time zone, she died in the middle of the night and a lot of people knew nothing about it until the next morning.
My late husband and I were vacationing in FL Keys and were waiting for our flight back to Chicago where we lived at the time. I saw a newspaper lying on a table with the headline Princess Diana: 1961 - 1997 and thought it was a cruel joke the media was playing. They were always harassing here. RIP, Diana.
Hi there, Good evening. I'm David Matthet by name. And originally from Italy. I am currently working in Mexico. And am involved in oil drilling and exploration.

Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears. And I hope to hear from you soon Ok.
Couldn't agree more. What the fuck were these guys doing around the table pulling together events in 1997 for this video? They all must have been born in 1998.
Been waiting for this one! My love of the nineties reached it's pinnacle during this year! It's just a shame that the passing of Jeff Buckley wasn't mentioned. His debut wasn't mentioned in 1994 either. I know that at the time, he wasn't considered as iconic or influential as he had become after his passing, but the impact he had, and continues to have on artists is undeniable.
97 is probably one of the most specifically vivid years of my life. Especially as a kid, I was 11-12 that year. So much happened personally and in the world. I was on AOL when I saw/heard of the news that Diana died.

That was probably back when people were getting dvds sent to them through snail mail. We weren’t streaming shit in 1997. Our computers were still grinding themselves to death to try to get on dial up lol. Worst sound ever. 😱🤯
Didn't you know that the world's longest living person, Jeanne Calment died in that year? She lived for 122 years and 164 days. I can't believe Weird History missed that. (Feb. 21, 1875 - Aug. 4, 1997)
Oh man, the 90s, the late 90s all the way up to like 2006 or so were probably the best years of my life. I was a young adult, had zero responsibilities, didn’t have a care in the world. The music, the shows, the movies, pop culture in general was cool and I absorbed it all. Really wish I could go back do a few things differently and invest in Netflix and google. 😁
The year I graduated, had my first "real" job, & started my own life! The GF(future wife) & i had our first daughter, & first apt.! Must say it was one of the BEST years of my life, IF NOT BEST YEAR! But that would be hard to decide on! Lol
It's really really strange watching these, because in my mind, the 90's was just like 10 years ago, and noo. It just doesn't seem right that most of these things happened 20+ years ago. I was 15 and pregnant in 98 so ANYTHING around that time seems unreal, not to mention I have two grandchildren from that first kid in 98.

I was also 5, for most of the year (but turned 6 in November). 97 is definitely the first year that I have really significant memories of. Especially since my family moved to a new state that summer and I started kindergarten. It was definitely an exciting and carefree time.
Government in 1997 about UFOs: *"It's just a weather balloon, nothing exciting!"* 🙄 Government today about UFOs: *"Even we don't know what the hell that thing is."* 😳
If the Roswell crash was a weather balloon why did they put crash test dummies in it? I've never heard of anyone flying along with a weather balloon, but I don't know much about them.
What was your favorite 90s band?
Oasis. By far!!!
Britney Spears
Burzum

Very underrated actor, if he were still alive I'm sure Adam Sandler's movies wouldn't have sucked so bad in the coming years. RIP Chris Farley
He was funny in Dirty Work also. Small role but still great. Him as the bus driver always make me laugh when they hit him with the sandwich.
I remember the news the night he died. I was so sad . He couldn't overcome his addictions .

Along with JFK
I'm thinking of all super high-profile deaths the world has seen in those past 58 years, those two stand out for me as most likely to be proven as homicides in the future - if the pertinent data is released somehow
And that is only going to happen by one of three ways - covert intelligence gathering, an admission of culpability, or a security breach where the information is kept - none of which are very likely
In fact i would add epstein on to that list, to form a trio, except the first two were esptein'ed before it was common knowledge that that sort of thing was commonplace among elite individuals who had lost favour with the powers that they commingled with
I heard somewhere, from someone who may or may not have had ties at one point to the intelligence community, that there are two preferred methods of assassination: auto accidents and apparent suicides. While in cars the target is at their most vulnerable and exposed, and a crash that looks like an accident carries more than enough plausible deniability.

Just a couple more notes on Princess Di that you may find interesting, and are not common knowledge - there was a white fiat that was observed right in and around of the mercedes at the crash site and was never identified nor the driver come forward with critical witness testimony. 2) An SAS operative - UK equivalent of Green Berets, missions sworn to secrecy under oath, so often used for highly sensitive operations - admitted to his wife while they were going through a particularly messy divorce that he was involved in Di's murder. Take from that what you will
I'm not indicting anyone for a crime here with any of these cases. I just find them fascinating in how suspect they are
And, in the modern age with the ease of transfer of information, we are getting better at sharing crucial data about an event before the media can censor or tamper with it. Remember how they refused to report on epstein for years? And in the modern digital internet age, their official story is the laughing stock of the world and farcical to take at face value. We've come far.. but there's still a long way to go
YOOO I was just listening to that right before this!!! You're Wrong About has been my obsession for the past few months!
Weird History, I hope you know what greater good you're doing with these series, both keeping history alive and bringing back lost memories in a so well done fashion. My wish is that after the 90s, you'd go back and cover the 70s and 60s. Please?
These 90s videos bring some serious nostalgia. Keep them coming!
I love these timeline vids. So much nostalgia 🤤
"And this is the chalk outline of where the cop keeled over laughing when Eddie Murphy said he was only giving the hooker a ride."
What’s that from? I remember that from something...
Lol
It was Family Guy or something other MacFarlane cartoon, right?
Best year to be born, finally! Thank you weird history this is why I stay subscribed
As an 86er, I wish I were born in 62
@@saagisharon8595 What’s special about 62? My parents were born around then
@@ericlikeshalo Because the 80s would have been by far my favorite time to come of age as a young adult
I graduated from high school in 1997. What a year!
Haha u watch these too?
Funny, I started high school in 1997
@@GiveItUpDot
Me too!
And it was the year I was born
@@marcoornelas-mendoza182 me too, and also the year my great grandmother passed away.
I was born in 1995. Thanks for making these timeline videos. Really helps a guy with nostalgia and remembering those days.
I absolutely love Weird History Timelines!!!
I absolutely love these timelines! I love to be reminded of those events and remember what was happening in my life! Thank you!
Timeline videos, one of the my favorite video series :)
I was too young to completely comprehend what happened to Diana, but my mom explained that a really nice lady had died. RIP Princess Diana.
Same. I was 3 when she died.
Mother Teresa died the same week… people only noticed the Princess
Diana got more attention because... yeah, the glamour factor... but also because she was far younger and just starting a whole new life for herself as a non-royal. She left behind two children. Mother Theresa had lived a long full life.
Same i was only 8 at the time
11 year old me didn’t.
Man...1997 had a lot of ground breaking and history changing events taking place!
Thank you Weird History for another AMAZING VIDEO. Pure genius
One of the best series on TH-cam
I was only 10 back in '97. So many cool, crazy and tragic things happened in the 90s. But I did get to stay up late sometimes and watch South Park with my grandmother, which at the time was awesome since my mom never knew about it LOL.
Poor kid. Being exposed to such stupidity, and junk like that so young.
Also 10 in ‘97 here!
These timeline vids are great, and cheers to your editor, well done.
We still have a Woolworth’s here in Bakersfeild CA. With an operating diner.
And that's just proof the gods smiled upon bakesfield
1997 was the highest point ever in my life. So many things happened in ‘97 that would just not happen today. The level of optimism and the little knowledge of everything going on in the world. We felt unstoppable. The world was out there to be explored. Life went slow. It feels like a nostalgic dream. Definitely looking back it feels like a dream now. Wish to go back and relive those days so much. 1997 its where its at. And we thought things would just go better in the next century. THAT was the better time. Not the 21st century.
I graduated high-school this year and that damn vitamin C graduation song was playing everywhere for us lol. That was a special year for me
@@hjames78 it was still being played at elemenary graduation and middle school in 03 and 05
I moved to Germany early 1997. Some of the best years of my life.
Also a 2 year separation before divorce is very helpful. I was going to divorce my husband and we ended up separating for 3 years. In that time we worked it out and renewed our vows. We are stronger and happier than ever. I'm not saying that will happen to every separation, but at least it gives the marriage a chance to heal. Marriage should not be viewed as easily disposable.
So what youre saying is... when you separated. You slept around to get the ho life out of the system so you can renew your vows.
I lived in Germany then too. Also a fantastic time!
A legally mandated separation period in my divorce was just a way for my ex to continue the abuse, needlessly fighting things despite all it accomplishing was increasing our legal bills. It just meant having to live in the mausoleum of a failed relationship.
@@suchwow244 haha
@@suchwow244 no actually. We have kids and I worked 40 hours a week. I don't sleep around. I didn't even date because I was so devastated that the marriage was fractured. I was still in love.
I remember when Princess Diana died. I was eight years old at the time but I remember her death being all over the news. I also remember having one of those Tanagotchi pets. Those things would always die on me. LOL
That was the most tragic car crash of a celebrity in history.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE I was 13 and me and my mother saw the special announcement on a Sunday evening but one moment I remember during her death was both William and Harry breaking down crying that broke my heart.
@@CrystalClearWith8BE yup
@@ladynikkie yup
I was 22.
The 90’s were such a great time to grow up, but also a weird time to grow up.
My daughter put it this way: anything they learned (tech and otherwise) was outdated almost as soon as they had learned it.
@@cherylcampbell9369 We thought we were buried in the tech and info back then...
I'm an electronics tech for a living. So, I'm no slouch when it comes to checking out the newest thing. But, even I say this to my son and other people all the time... "The more I learn, the less confident I am in what I feel like I knew."
I'm with you on that. I miss the less smart technology aspect
🗣️📢 Damn bro. You taking your sweet time on that '1998' episode. 😂
So lucky, born 1979 and the first Timeline is 1980. There have been ---Timeline--- videos for every single year from 1980-1997! I am blessed with ---Timeline---.
Clicked on this so hard. RIP to the icon that is Princess Diana. Your legacy still lives on
I was only 12 and barely knew who she was. My dad woke me on the Sunday morning and told me, and my reaction was “oh….ok”. 😕
She drank babies blood
@@smalltownn She was handed down her success in top of that. No respect for people that take free handouts.
@@CursedWheelieBin I remember watching it as a child on the news not knowing why everyone was so distraught
Same. Year I graduated high school!
I'm looking forward to when Timeline catches up to and surpasses the current year, then begins to show us what will happen in future decades.
Ahh yes, I was waiting for another one! The wait is sooo worth it! I got my coffee and my breakfast and I'm ready to enjoy :)
It's ridiculous how much I'm looking out for these video's. Thx so much!!
Been checking in every day for a few weeks now for the 1998 video. Going through Timeline withdrawal.
My first child was born 8/31/97. When we arrived at the ER the news was on about the accident. It was surreal as was all of ‘97 as you can see.
I was driving a certain road in the Washington Cascades.Never forget that moment.
These are great. I got a Closed-Head Injury in November of 1995, so my timeline of memories is scattered, and these videos help me put it into order. Thank you. I was pretty sure I watched the Ellen Degenerate episode in 1995, while I was still in high school, but I guess it was 1997?
I remember the day The People's Princess Diana died. It was a surreal day.
Me too
Yeah she was on the radio that day.... And the dashboard and the windshield too
Daina?
And what about the day Diana died, do you remember that, too?
There are more deaths in 1997 I know aside from that, even the ones who are and aren't mentioned in this video.
Fav moment??? When i graduated high school. Love these episodes!
I finish secondary school December 97. What a joy it was to come home and meet a gift from my uncle, a PlayStation console.
Exciting year for action & sci-fi movies: Starship Troopers, The Fifth Element, Face/Off, Con Air, Air Force One, Men in Black, Contact, Gattaca, Conspiracy Theory, Tomorrow Never Dies, Mr. Nice Guy, The End of Evangelion, etc...
You certainly don't see blockbuster summer release movie hype like that anymore...even BC (before Covid). The 90s were like the 80s on steroids in terms of excess.
@@blueyedbeau Not all of these were summer releases. But both the 80s & 90s did seem like they're on steroids. lol
Now we just get capeshit.
@@leflop4808 Often a subgenre of action & sci-fi.
Also Titanic
I remember the whole Princess Di thing I was driving for Greyhound and I was in Nashville,TN when I heard about the accident but I didn't think much of it but by the time I got the bus back to Columbus Ohio she had died.
That’s interesting because by the UK’s time zone, she died in the middle of the night and a lot of people knew nothing about it until the next morning.
@@kate_cooper yep that is interesting. My driver supervisor told me about it frankly I could care less.
My late husband and I were vacationing in FL Keys and were waiting for our flight back to Chicago where we lived at the time. I saw a newspaper lying on a table with the headline Princess Diana: 1961 - 1997 and thought it was a cruel joke the media was playing. They were always harassing here. RIP, Diana.

Best series on TH-cam right now. #1
I love Weird History documentaries.
Hi there, Good evening. I'm David Matthet by name. And originally from Italy. I am currently working in Mexico. And am involved in oil drilling and exploration. I enjoy exploring new places and trying out new activities such as hiking and mountain biking. Seeing your profile put a smile on my face. I would really love to get to know you better. Is there anything you would like to tell me about yourself? I'm all ears. And I hope to hear from you soon Ok.
Awww the 90s. I married a wonderful guy, and by 97 we had 2 kids. Good memories.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos!
Best series out there. Thanks guys! Respects from 🇨🇦
Could you imagine if Google had gone with their original name? "Yeah. I'll just Backrub it."
Giggety
😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Lol sheesh
Let me check my Backrub e-mail
Rest in peace princess Diana 🙏💔 that was also the same year the Titanic movie came out
These really are epic! Like man every time I watch one memories flood back.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What an incredible year!
---TIMELINE ROCKS---
No mention of the passing of Chris Farley on 12/18 is blasphemy!
We don't wanna think about it!
Yes, Chris Farley was supposed to be the original Shrek, until Mike Myers came in after Farley’s death.
They were too busy reminding us of the incredibly culturally relevant and unforgettable movie, "The Game"...
Couldn't agree more. What the fuck were these guys doing around the table pulling together events in 1997 for this video? They all must have been born in 1998.
he died in 98
Been waiting for this one! My love of the nineties reached it's pinnacle during this year! It's just a shame that the passing of Jeff Buckley wasn't mentioned. His debut wasn't mentioned in 1994 either. I know that at the time, he wasn't considered as iconic or influential as he had become after his passing, but the impact he had, and continues to have on artists is undeniable.
I was a junior in high school. Favorite band? Either Tool or Tori Amos.
Me too... Good bands 👍
These videos are the best! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I am in love with these timeline vids!!!
97 is probably one of the most specifically vivid years of my life. Especially as a kid, I was 11-12 that year. So much happened personally and in the world. I was on AOL when I saw/heard of the news that Diana died.
Cool

Netflix started in 97? Damn, I thought it was a lot more recent than that.
Fun fact: The entire company "Nintendo" was started in the 1800s.
@@KrimsonKracker that’s bizarre. Lol
That was probably back when people were getting dvds sent to them through snail mail. We weren’t streaming shit in 1997. Our computers were still grinding themselves to death to try to get on dial up lol. Worst sound ever. 😱🤯
@@punky19761 And yet don't some people use the modem sound as a ring tone?
Back in my day they were a DVD rental service
I loved the Industrial and Trip-Hop music from the 90's but the band I remember most from the decade is Alice In Chains.
These are great!!! Thanks so much!!!
These videos are so great, I think I am going to re-watch some of them! They are just sweet.
It may have been 24 years since you were handed over to those monsters! But you CAN still fight for freedom! 🇭🇰
HK was so great before they went under Chinese control.
Britain should ask for it back.
Didn't you know that the world's longest living person, Jeanne Calment died in that year? She lived for 122 years and 164 days. I can't believe Weird History missed that.
(Feb. 21, 1875 - Aug. 4, 1997)
Damn
Daaaaaaamn!!!!!!
That should've made it, they probably shaking their head when they realize lol
Probably the most insignificant thing I could think of
You mean her daughter died who had been parading as her for years
Oh man, the 90s, the late 90s all the way up to like 2006 or so were probably the best years of my life. I was a young adult, had zero responsibilities, didn’t have a care in the world. The music, the shows, the movies, pop culture in general was cool and I absorbed it all. Really wish I could go back do a few things differently and invest in Netflix and google. 😁
Right
@@69jbr69 if I was Rich it would be enough.c
These are so good. Thanks for the awesome video.
LOVE THESE! I got to these for research while hosting my weekday radio show where we do an entire hour of 90s rock
The year I graduated, had my first "real" job, & started my own life! The GF(future wife) & i had our first daughter, & first apt.! Must say it was one of the BEST years of my life, IF NOT BEST YEAR! But that would be hard to decide on! Lol
I was 16 years old and I remember a lot of celebrities passing away in '97.. that's the first thing that comes to mind
It's really really strange watching these, because in my mind, the 90's was just like 10 years ago, and noo. It just doesn't seem right that most of these things happened 20+ years ago. I was 15 and pregnant in 98 so ANYTHING around that time seems unreal, not to mention I have two grandchildren from that first kid in 98.

People took pictures of Diana after the crash?! What ghouls!
All for $$$$
All for thier spankbank
Hounded her to death. And after. Ghouls indeed.
Paparazzi have no souls. Not do the people that gawk at their photos.
Really appreciate how you approached the TH-cam ads!
I miss 1997 , 2021 is a crappy time in everyone's life. Take us back to another decade please. Great show. K
I was five years old in 97, such a simpler time back then wish I could go back
No kidding same here
I was also 5, for most of the year (but turned 6 in November). 97 is definitely the first year that I have really significant memories of. Especially since my family moved to a new state that summer and I started kindergarten. It was definitely an exciting and carefree time.
John Denver died in a plane crash on October 12 1997 I can't believe you didn't mention it
They were too busy pushing BLM. 🙄
Government in 1997 about UFOs: *"It's just a weather balloon, nothing exciting!"* 🙄
Government today about UFOs: *"Even we don't know what the hell that thing is."* 😳
my thoughts exactly
If the Roswell crash was a weather balloon why did they put crash test dummies in it? I've never heard of anyone flying along with a weather balloon, but I don't know much about them.
I was born this year! I love this channel 💙
Love these timeline videos...thanks! #BingeWatching
