5 Weird Ways The 1990s Never Ended

Alex Schmidt is joined by Adam Tod Brown and Chet Wild, the hosts of Unpopular Opinion's "The 90s Sucked" podcast. They're exploring huge, meaningful, world-altering ways the 1990s never stopped happening to us. They'll also reveal which element of the '90s stuffs the nation's landfills to this day, which '90s band happily played a show in a living room, and which '90s after-effects are most worth looking out for in 2020, 2024, and beyond.
