I remember the very end of it, I was born in 94 and have some memory of 98 onward, it was just an okay decade from the little I saw at the end, no better or worse than the 00's and the current decade. Might have been better if I'd been old enough to appreciate the more teenage elements of the decade. VHS was on fire at that time though and disney was still making good movies, they were in their renaissance actually I believe. I wont dis on the 00's though, because the LOTR trilogy came out and the first half wasn't terrible for me.
And yes I do remember Surge
