It's an era where world politics play out on Twitter, and where the gig economy has made the nine-to-five job an object of aspiration rather than dread. Rates of mental illness are soaring, inequality predominates everything and much of life is contained in our phones. The core idea of this book is that we can only understand what life is like now by comparing it to previous times to see what has changed, what is genuinely new, and what is a continuation of existing trends. Providing original analyses of a range of seminal works of 90s pop culture, this book extracts a core set of concepts--such as irony, branding, and media--that defined the 90s. It demonstrates how these concepts are expressed in both those works and in the art of today. Presenting close history in a new light, this book helps us understand today by framing it in terms of yesterday"-- |cProvided by publisher. 504 Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 Popular culture |zUnited States |y20th century. |=^A248768 650 0 Memory |zUnited States. |=^A806 650 0 Nineteen nineties. |=^A491638 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. |2bisacsh 650 7 Civilization, Modern. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00863073 650 7 Popular culture. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01071344 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 648 7 1900-2099 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s39.95 |uJHIS |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 5727031
