We were born just too late for the original boom in technology but we're taught all about technology that became completely obsolete by the time we were entering the work force lol!
As a young millennial who is currently 24, with 60, 70+boomer parents, a Gen X older sibling who passed along their handmedowns, not getting our first home computer till 2002, I had a bizarre experience of watching the world change from analog to digital.
I was 18/19 in 1998, it was a great year. Watching the World Cup, listening to System of a Down's self titled album, starting uni, going out to clubs every weekend.... things were good.
I was 15/16 do I miss the 90s great music, and we weren't offended we were offensive. I didn't care what I had to do eat Ramen forever I was gonna live on my own.
Markie Post, featured in the "beans and frank" scene from "Something About Mary" just passed, losing her battle with cancer. A great actress with wonderful comedic timing!
So my parents moved us from the US to Namibia in 1994 and I missed out on pretty much everything happening in the US for the next 10 years. These videos have been a massive help for me to connect with people now that I am living back in the US. Thank you!
Man, I was in college back in 1998. What a great time to be alive. I know it's cliche, but it really only seems like it was yesterday. I remember going to the cinema, with one of my closest friends, to see "Saving Private Ryan". Neither of us were expecting such a heavily emotional film. There were World War ll veterans in the audience, who were sobbing uncontrollably. I remember after the movie ended, the two of us went outside, and quietly stood there for about 20 minutes, smoking a cigarette, trying to process what we just watched. It was crazy. Lol!
It was a huge shock through the entertainment industry and to fans bc Hartman was a quiet introverted Everyman who didn’t live the type of life that would land someone on a ‘most shocking moments’ list…he was the last person anyone expected to be targeted for a violent crime
I remember being a teenager when restaurants had a smoking section and thinking “How is that smoke staying in their section when I could still smell it in non-smoking?” Strange time to be alive for sure.
@@mk-lr8ok that’s what people don’t understand or don’t want to understand. It’s when the public bent over for blanket smoking bans that they got the green light to do almost every other nanny state ban since. “I don’t smoke so it doesn’t affect me” until they decide to do something that does affect you.
I was 8/9 in '98. It's probably my childhood innocence but I just miss everything about that time. It all seemed a lot slower and easier than right now.
it was such a great time to be a teenager. I'm sure it was good being younger too, but I can remember a time being a young adult when politics weren't the indication of what kind of American you were and everyone got along a lot better.
I was 12 in 97 and I felt the same way about the 97 episode, yet almost all of 1998's events remain in my general consciousness. The break from childhood to adolescence is abrupt AF.
I actually watched "Truman Show" at the cinema and boy... was that film an experience. Took 2 of my best friends to a screening and somehow these late 90s movies really had a strange vibe. They felt so early 2000s but still having the awesomeness and daring appeal of the 90s that Hollywood really completely lost during the past 15 years now.
@@rejecteddriftwood314 Isn't it interesting how many things that we liked are still popular today? Michael Jordan is still well known and people still talk about Seinfeld. Google was founded that year too.
I turned 9. I was constantly hearing about "Afganistan and Sudan" from my parents and granpa, but I was too young to really understand the importance. "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" came out; I spent so much time playing that game at a friend's house, sometimes staying up all night to roam the land of Hyrule.
We were all like that at some point. Then we grow up and things make sense (well at least some... kinda). At age 15, I didn't know what a republican or democrat was, and just wanted to do my usual teen stuff. Then I grew up, could vote, realized the difference, and that's when I became a democrat. All those times the things that adults have taught you seemed to clash, it's because of politics.
1998 - when I graduated right out of high school and went straight to art school with big dreams. I learned the hard way that dreams don't last and financial aid was too fucking confusing.
I was in my 20’s and looked gorgeous. That was a loooong time ago. Now I just look like an old man who USED to be good looking. Ha! I was a very popular radio DJ and a college student. I had a great group of friends back then. We had a lot of good times. Yeah, I miss the 90’s thanks for the video.
Ever since finding these timeline videos over a year ago, I just about drop everything to take a trip down memory lane or learn what’s been happening before I was born lol. I love these videos
I love this series! I was helping my mom move this week, and came across my old Entertainment Weekly's from 1998. This was a big year entertainment wise, almost all of the timeline was in there!
Here are the top 10 songs of 1998, according to the Billboard year-end singles chart: 10. I Don't Want to Wait- Paula Cole 9. Nice & Slow- Usher 8. Candle in the Wind 1997- Elton John 7. All My Life- K-Ci & JoJo 6. Together Again- Janet Jackson 5. How Do I Live- LeAnn Rimes 4. Truly Madly Deeply- Savage Garden 3. You're Still the One- Shania Twain 2. The Boy is Mine- Brandy and Monica 1. Too Close- Next
Year I graduated high school too. It is strange thinking about that being the end of Seinfeld, I still quote the show every once in a while. George was so funny.
I remember my school banned Pokemon cards because kids were fighting if they lost & the really bad kids were straight up beating people up and taking their cards.
Jim Ross: "GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! THAT KILLED HIM! ... AS GOD AS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF!!!" (Undertaker vs Mankind, Hell in a Cell, King of the Ring '98)
I remember 95% of these events. I was eleven and it was the year I became fully aware of the world around me. Things like this remind me of how impactful it was.
1998...the year Professor Utonium gave birth to three cute little superheroines by combining sugar, spice and everything nice and accidentally spilling the mysterious Chemical X into the concoction... 1998 gave us The Powerpuff Girls, created by Craig McCracken, which began with three different pilot episodes: * Whoopass Stew! The Whoopass Girls in A Sticky Situation (1994, student cartoon) * The Powerpuff Girls: Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins (1995, World Premiere Toon-In) * The Powerpuff Girls: Crime 101 (1996, What A Cartoon!)
Metal Gear Solid, Half Life, LOZ :Ocarina of Time, Spyro The Dragon, Banjo-Kazooie, and Pokemon Red and Blue( their international release outside Japan) and the debut of GBC aka Game Boy Color. Memorable games came out in the Nine Eight

@@btetschner It's referred to as the Attitude Era or Monday Night Wars. Featuring fierce competition between WWF/WWE and WCW, as well as the smaller promotion ECW. Notable for the rise of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Stone Cold Steve Austin. Even other sports legends such as Mike Tyson & Dennis Rodman got involved. You can look up plenty of videos about it.
Wasn't The Werewolf of Fever Swamp (from Goosebumps) shown as a prime time special? Not sure if that was 98, but I seem to recall it was shown later than episodes usually were. Are You Afraid of the Dark? was great too btw.
Great job in putting these videos together. I can't imagine the time it takes to do this, so thank you very much. I'd love to see 60's and 70's time-line videos.

I'm 8 episodes in..... BUT THIS Episode hit the hardest. I was born October 1989, so I was 9 & remember all of this so vividly, where the other episodes were still super nostalgic, just not the this level!!! I hope you have a 2000s series 💯💯💯
Great year. Tons of great movies and music. The Dawn of Britney. Creek. Homerun chase. Elway gets his 1st super bowl. Vikings win 15 games (don't recall how that season ended).
Thank you for creating these timeline videos from every year! I know it takes a lot of work. The music and background chime is nostalgic and I can't wait to see every year up to 2020! Keep it up

@@brettcooper3893 Worked out fine. I still make music and I played independent league baseball for 3 seasons and tried out for the Detroit Tigers twice (01 & 06)
Omg, I love these videos!! This was while I was growing up and it's crazy. I make my kids watch them and they think it's so crazy. Takes us hours to get thru one of these videos. They have questions and I have answers and stories. Thank you guys!!
I was in 8th grade in '98. The nostalgia factor is off the charts on this one. I remember most of these headlines VERY clearly. ... Wasn't quite 9/11 yet, and cellphones weren't prominent. They were around, but only a small minority of the population had them. Maybe 1 outta 10 in your friends had one. But, 5 outta 10 of your friends had beepers. Ya'll know the one... That Motorola one... 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I definitely remember the beeper.. I had the one you're talking about and sending/receiving numerical codes that either looked like words or the letters that corrosponded to the numbers on the telephone layout... What fun
Awww, seeing Markie Post in “There’s something about Mary” just broke my heart all over again… I had such a crush on her when she was on Night Court. RIP Markie Post! 😥
No highlight for 1998. My dad passed away from cancer in late June 1998. However, oddly tying in with this episode, he was determined to finish the NBA finals because he had never watched the full playoffs for it before. Then he finished a very long book I bought him the previous xmas. I said "guess I should have bought you a longer book". The rest of 1998 was generally awful. Not my favorite year of the 90s by a long shot.
What was your highlight of 1998?

Being an old millennial, or a gen-x cusp, my generation has such an interesting perspective. We had an analog childhood and a digital adulthood.
We were born just too late for the original boom in technology but we're taught all about technology that became completely obsolete by the time we were entering the work force lol!

I am just too young
I just say I'm a 90s kid, sayin' you're a millennial pretty much says you're just a smartphone addict and I wish smartphones didn't exist.
It’s 2021 but whenever someone mentions “the 90’s” I always think it was 10 years ago. Good times!

His last voice role was Jiji in Disney's English dub of Kiki's Delivery Service.
Yes he was a awesome talent.
You might remember him from being one of the funniest actors ever.

Thank you for creating these timeline videos from every year! I know it takes a lot of work. The music and background chime is nostalgic and I can't wait to see every year up to 2020! Keep it up
10:45 - WOW, PLEASE GET BETTER SOUND ADJUSTMENT!! I hate having to turn the volume down the second these movie/TV clips start BLASTING, then can't hear the rest of the video!! 😱😱😱
RIP Markie Post🖤🖤🖤
@NikK -O She died of cancer.
In 1998 the federal minimum wage was raised from $5.15 to $5.75. Abundance and prosperity for all!
That 5.75 is worth more than minimum wage now.
I received a promotion in '98 and went up to $11.30/hr plus commission. I remember thinking how I was raking it in!
Non Progredi Est Regredi Well, your $11.30/hr plus commission went a lot farther then than it would now. So, you probably were raking it in at the time.
@@lindseystein9676 Yeah, I was 25 at the time and it was decent money back then. I still have the IRA I set up that year and it's still earning me interest; I'm glad I didn't spend that money!
And it stayed at $5.75 for a loooong time, cause I got my first job in 2004 and that’s how much I got paid
Kids today will NEVER understand the "Someone's on the phone I can't use the internet" meme
I remember dial up. We had a cell phones so ppl could call
Good lord that was a LONG TIME AGO
1999? My year aka the year I was born! Can't wait for the episode. Any people from 1999 here?
Love these series of videos you guys produce! Absolutely awesome! You guys should do a time line of the 50’s and 60’s
The year I was born!! Finally a comprehensive video on what happens when I was just 0 years old!
if you had been born in china you'd have already been 1!
I was 17 years old and I was starting my first job because I lied about my age and became a forklift operator and I'm 40 now and now train people to operate forklifts for OSHA not to shabby
😂😁👍
Took you 23 years to become a trainer? Good job 👍
@@84knucks05 more like 20 years because I started to train people when I was 37 thanks knucks

Not all of us have innate talent of leadership 😠
It's more than just skill it's having social influence.
Crazy I showed my parents the timeline series when eating lunch and now we can’t stop watching these lol
Right on with it! 1998 yeeah! I was in high school still playing baseball and performing my original rap songs
How did that work out for ya?
@@brettcooper3893 Worked out fine. I still make music and I played independent league baseball for 3 seasons and tried out for the Detroit Tigers twice (01 & 06)
Seeing 98 Godzilla made me giddy. Damn nostalgia lol
I saw it in a drive in theater, made that movie watchable.
That P Diddy song off the soundtrack was a banger too
@@rebeccagibbs4128 That was what I was thinking.
Glad u guys took the time to show The Truman Show. The film is an absolute masterpiece
Missed you guys!!! Awesome!!!
Sad the 90s timeline almost over. Definitely wanna see a timeline on the 2000s after this!!
PolPot getting house arrest is STILL a wildly absurd sentence.
I wonder if they made him drug test once a month too…smh
R.I.P. Phil Hartman and Sonny Bono!😭❤️📺🎶
I had a Dreamcast. I was so sad when it went belly up. It was a great console.
i feel this
Best part of the weekend here
November 21, 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time releases! Arguably the best video game of all time.
Omg, I love these videos!! This was while I was growing up and it's crazy. I make my kids watch them and they think it's so crazy. Takes us hours to get thru one of these videos. They have questions and I have answers and stories. Thank you guys!!
I was in 8th grade in '98. The nostalgia factor is off the charts on this one. I remember most of these headlines VERY clearly.
... Wasn't quite 9/11 yet, and cellphones weren't prominent. They were around, but only a small minority of the population had them. Maybe 1 outta 10 in your friends had one. But, 5 outta 10 of your friends had beepers. Ya'll know the one... That Motorola one... 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I definitely remember the beeper.. I had the one you're talking about and sending/receiving numerical codes that either looked like words or the letters that corrosponded to the numbers on the telephone layout... What fun
They forgot the headline of Mike Tyson pushing Stone Cold Steve Austin. lol
@@jp3813 Oh man!!! '98 was balls deep into the Attitude Era!!!
I was also in grade 8, no one I knew had a pager or phone.
Awww, seeing Markie Post in “There’s something about Mary” just broke my heart all over again… I had such a crush on her when she was on Night Court. RIP Markie Post! 😥
Such a great time. A lot of this year kind-of blends and I forgot some because over the summer until August my dad was slowly dying.
💚
what is the song playing in the background around 27:45?
WCW, ecw and WWF were awesome
Finally someone mentioned it. The Monday Night Wars were hot at this time. I wish he at least mentioned Wrestlemania 14
@@karlitosway7474 agreed. Mike Tyson floored Shawn Michaels 😂
Love this channel 💗
"Is it the frank or the beans ?" 🤣 Not quoted enough imo.
Thank you for sharing my story with your listeners. 😊
Also, in 1998 was release Virtual XI, a great and often misunderstood album from the best band in the world!
Man, this channel is so dope! Nostalgia in its purest form!
I like these timeline videos, but man, I can't count how many times I've thought to myself "no way these two events happened in the same year!" 😅
A+ video!
LOVE IT! What an incredible year!
---TIMELINE ROCKS---
No highlight for 1998. My dad passed away from cancer in late June 1998. However, oddly tying in with this episode, he was determined to finish the NBA finals because he had never watched the full playoffs for it before. Then he finished a very long book I bought him the previous xmas. I said "guess I should have bought you a longer book". The rest of 1998 was generally awful. Not my favorite year of the 90s by a long shot.
damn
I feel so happy with these videos 😀
been waiting for this!thank you!
Keep em comin Weird History! Love the Timeline series!
