Ohhh I see. So what youre really saying ITT is your definition of 90sest only extends to the white 90s experience.

valid point - although I did point out that I meant corny nu-metally, angsty gen-x stuff. Even if hip hop culture was created as a means to establish a black American counterculture - we're not going to sit here and pretend that other countercultures weren't at least inclusive. The dumbass nu-metal stuff still had black/POC members in well known bands, like orange 9mm and Sevendust. I'd also say that even though they were more EDM'y -- nothing exemplifies that time period as well as Prodigy.
There were plenty of POC who had tribal tattoos, wore Jncos and colored contacts, skateboarded, etc.

Candyman also places very little narrative focus on any of the characters aside from its lead. I feel like its strongest theme was the nature of urban myth, wanting to be memorialized in history, etc. -- which is why I'm optimistic for the remake that's supposedly going to place more of its focus on the racial tensions.
I also don't feel like it feels distinctly '90s? If anything I'd say Tales from the Hood does a much better job on all of those accounts.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm backpedaling.
