What was your highlight of 1998?
Being born
ISDN dual 64Kbs channels for 128Kbs throughput in my home. Cable Internet was around the corner for Charlotte, NC at the time (at least the better off Ballantyne area of Charlotte).
Being born
Started my freshman year of high school
@@chayden153 ‘98 gang!
I’ll never get tired of watching these.
Me either! Love them!
I live for them honestly
NEVER!!!!
Right! I hope we get a 2000’s timeline🤞🏼
Same
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!
You're a Xennial or from the Oregon Trail generation. We grew up in what I consider the best time of human history.
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 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!
fr
dude, i do the same thing.🙂
Martha it will ALWAYS BE 10 years ago and we will ALWAYS revisit in our own dreams!
It sure feels like it. That happens to me too lol
That happens to me all the time. When I realize it was 30 years ago, I freak out a little bit for a moment.
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.
Lol ummm things haven’t changed, you can still do all that
@@williamphillips2671 lol ummm who says that I don't
@@Kat-tr2ig obviously they don't get it
I was... 6 years old in 98
Man I'll always miss Phil Hartman. SNL and the Simpsons weren't the same without him.
drugs man, what a thing
I agree - Phil is sorely missed.
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.
Another Sunday, another nostalgia trip. Time to light up and drift back in time....
I’ll be lighting up here soon with you ✌️
I love the nineties because it's the perfect blend of some 80s stuff carrying over and early naughties stuff beginning to creep in
I always wonder why some people called the 00s the naughties
@@thenewjord50 tbh, it's just how I've heard it said a lot
Ehhhh okay?.
@@thenewjord50the British way
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!
this comment is so pure! love it
You missed a great era, it was awesome 😎
1998, that year was a wonderful year for my young self. I also remember purchasing the Lauryn Hill and Outkast cd's that year also.
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!
Damn, I just saw that (after reading your post). Rest in Peace Markie Post.
The second "Night Court" actor to pass this year.
"he was masturbating!" 😂
1998. When hope for an amazing future still existed. Wish I could go back lol
That was a great year.
I was 18. It was a good time to be young.
@@RoseRose-hp4rq same for me. 1980 baby.
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!
Nice. A day to remember.
SPR was my preferred movie for many years of my teen years. Watched it too many times to count.
I was also in college in 1998. I saw SPR in the theater also very powerful film!
Marathoned these way too many times. Love them, the music, the editing, the voice, the content, its all perfect.
Glad you mentioned Phil Hartman’s murder. He was a true genius & I hope his screen presence isn’t lost to future generations.
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 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.
@@malloy5641 So true. I think 9/11 is what caused so much polarization. We’ll get back to what we were but it will take time.
That's because you were 8/9.
Yea. I know if I were 8/9 again right now I'd say the same thing about this year.
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.
16:25 I still am in shock about _Saving Private Ryan_ losing Best Picture to _Shakespear In Love._
Yeah, that was solely due to Harvey Weinstein. Look it up.
Gwyneth screwed Harvey for that Oscar.
Brad broke up with her and threatened Harvey.
It’s why Brad never won an Oscar til Harvey went to prison.
At the end, previewing for the 1999 episode the narration alludes to The Matrix, and shows a tiny clip from Fight Club. Both were released in 1999, as were The Green Mile and The Sixth Sense.
American Beauty won the top categories (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay and Best Photography) in 2000, the year in all these films were eligible for nomination.
The Matrix was only nominated for technical awards (Best Film Editing, Best Sound, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Visual Effects), though it won them and Fight Club was only nominated for sound effects editing, losing out to The Matrix.
American Beauty was placed on lists of worst Best Picture winners long before Kevin Spacey's comeuppance happened. All of those other films with the possible exception of The Sixth Sense were either more consequential, better , or both than American Beauty
its always fun to look back at nominees and see how many became classics while the winners languished in obscurity. Also the year harvey weinstein nailed the 'cash for oscar' game
@@FionaOfMountLawley Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?
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.
It was even more comical to have a smoking section on planes
It's when they decided that they could take any God given right from the people. We caved and can see how that turned out in hindsight.
@@MrOuttheir forced sterilisation of certain segments of the population would increase our overall health. I guess you'd be in support of that too?
@@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.
@@dougrogan379
Checkmate!
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.
Exactly 💯 ruined it💰
Exactly 💯 ruined it💰
i really love these. thank you for your efforts and hard work
The '90s were my teenage years & let me tell you, those were the best. If I could go back, I'd stay there forever🤩
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!
The 90's rocked!
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.
That game is STILL one of my all time favorites! Those were good days.
I turned 10 that year. I feel old.
@@humansvd3269 - I turned 18. Wouldn't change it for the world.
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.
Aww, man! Seeing Markie Post in There’s Something About Mary just reminds me that she JUST passed away…
I loved her in Night Court in the 80s. That cast was epic.
Same 😞she was one of my first crushes ❤️
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.
I still look fantastic.
I can relate. I turned 20 in 1998, was skinny and beautiful. Now I'm curvy and mildly attractive.
@@kevinnickel7529 haha love your confidence 😂
Well, thank you..how very nice of you.
@@carriefawcett9990On the Strength:
I say that if you are 'curvy' then you are 'wildly 💖' not 'mildly ' attractive...straight up and for real 👏🥂👌
Feels just like yesterday when I graduated, but after watching this video, 98 just seems like such a long time ago.
Weren't things so much different back then? I graduate high school that year too.
@@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.
It wasn’t but so long ago. Live moves quickly!
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.
Then you joined a German party🤔
@@ShubhamMishrabro I knew someone would make this comment 😂
That is the year I graduated high school.
@@btetschner mine too!
Well that big art factory just opened up down the street so maybe you can still pursue your dreams
Hey, there it is! Was getting worried about Timeline.
The year graduated hs, I love seeing these and catching up on all the neat things I was too busy to care about back then.
graduated that year too...feel the same way when I watch these.
In 20 years we'll be saying the same about 2021.
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.
This was the year Pokémon came in with a top rope elbow drop into our Childhoods
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.
Now, I'm 32yrs old and STILL proudly playing Pokemon!

Depends on where you lived. The show debuted in Japan during 1997.
I was prom king in ‘98…so I got that going for me.
Such a Dustin thing to say

Will somebody stop the damn match!?!
That 90's era of wrestling was gold, Jerry. Gold.
Massive attack- mezzanine... favourite album of that year 🔥
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
I heard that was a great year for videogames.
@@btetschner It was a great year for pro-wrestling as well.
@@jp3813 I have heard a lot of people say that, but unfortunately I was not watching it at the time. There are some hardcore fans of that year for pro-wrestling.
@@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.
@@jp3813 Those guys are legends. I am going to look that up. Thank you for the recommendation.
Was born in 98 so it's cool to see what was going on in the world as I entered it :)
wow...I graduated that year. Cool to see different perspectives.
Same!!! July ‘98 ☺️
Same April 98
May ‘98!!!

Goosebumps,are you afraid of the dark we’re 2 of my favorite things from the 1990s
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.
@@starmnsixty1209 yes the werewolf of fever of swamp is from goosebumps
The year I got a N64. Wow, I turned 8 that year. Had the first taste 3D gaming.
That system was so much fun!
Gex for life baybee
I love these so much! Thanks for helping keep my memories alive!
This year saw a lot of legendary video games released, including:
Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot 3, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Banjo-Kazooie, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Rainbow Six, and MediEvil, just to name a few. Gaming was AMAZING back then
Yeah, 98 was one of those epic years where a huge number of groundbreaking games were released.
Ocarina of Time, Fallout 2, Resident Evil 2, Starcraft, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter Alpha 3, etc...
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 love this series I absolutely loved the 90s if I have a time machine I would go back to 1990 and live it all over again
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
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!)
Wow, I didn’t know there was a world premiere toon-in pilot.

Great job, can't even imagine how much time goes into these. I love them!
PolPot getting house arrest is STILL a wildly absurd sentence.
I wonder if they made him drug test once a month too…smh
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.
In my opinion the Dreamcast was the most underrated console ever. I loved playing Ready to Rumble and Crazy Taxi on it.
Easily the definitive “ahead of its time” console.
can somebody explain that system like the screen on the controller?
right? Was such a great system, too bad SEGA was in over their head. They still have people that make games for the Dreamcast...I have no idea how they play them though....
@@firstnameiii7270 it was called a VMU or virtual memory unit. If i remember correctly. It was basically your memory card for saves that had a lcd screen on it that you could play mini games on. It would plug into your controller.

Sad the 90s timeline almost over. Definitely wanna see a timeline on the 2000s after this!!
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

The truman show airing makes me feel incredibly old!!

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
Finally. Been waiting what feels like forever for 1998 to come out.
Turned 14 half way thru the year
Love these series of videos you guys produce! Absolutely awesome! You guys should do a time line of the 50’s and 60’s
1999? My year aka the year I was born! Can't wait for the episode. Any people from 1999 here?
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
Best part of the weekend here
My very own Delorean. All thanks to The Weird History Channel.
I'm so glad you guys included Aquemini. That album was a huge deal in hip-hop, & the music world in general.
I love the Timeline videos, but damn you guys sure take your sweet fucking time between videos. More, sooner, please.
Finally! A year I was old enough to remember decently! This was extra fun. So interesting to learn about old times too though
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.
Love this channel 💗
I love the edited version of The Big Lebowski on regular cable TV... "This is what it's like, Larry, when you FIND a stranger in the ALPS"
Love your videos!!!
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).
R.I.P. Phil Hartman and Sonny Bono!😭❤️📺🎶
Kids today will NEVER understand the "Someone's on the phone I can't use the internet" meme

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.
💚
I feel so happy with these videos 😀
1998 - the year that I turn 10. Missing the $1.99 Happy Meals though.
The glory days. When McNuggets were still made with greasy chicken rather than recycled packing peanuts, and had those little grissly chunks in every 3rd one you bit into. You know the ones.
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 💯💯💯
talk about a coincidence, this vid was uploaded right after i asked whens the next timeline video gonna come out!
Omg I just discovered these videos! The best thing ever!
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!" 😅

Excellent work as always!
The Dreamcast may have failed, but its one helluva system and has a fantastic library.
I bought mine on 9/9/99 and it still works. I still have around 20 games for it. One of the best consoles ever made.
I was 17, I started riding a beautiful motorbike, got my first job and my Nokia 3310 life was good
I’ve been waiting so long for this one thank you !!!
Also, in 1998 was release Virtual XI, a great and often misunderstood album from the best band in the world!
