From the Los Angeles riots to the Columbine High School massacre, Americans witnessed events and purchased items that reflected the best and worst of the decade. Bill Clinton’s presidency was in jeopardy, the digital age had erupted, and Silicon Valley was affecting everyone on the planet. Meanwhile nudity and sex ruled the pages of magazines, selling everything from haute couture to fragrances and microwave ovens. Nirvana entertained Generation X while the “Greatest Generation” considered purchasing a Probe and something called a Hummer.
Super Soakers and the game consoles Game Boy and PlayStation were the new toys, as Super Mario World, Gran Turismo, and Sonic the Hedgehog were warping the minds of young people everywhere. Luxury brands were in demand: shoppers coveted a Gucci bag, a Louis Vuitton tote, a Hermes scarf, or a Prada frock. TWA and Continental Airlines still flew the airways and Volkswagen reimagined the Beetle. It was a decade that seemed safely benign, but was jammed with events and consumption on a grand scale, setting the stage for the 21st century.
Featuring six chapters that cover a range of advertising, from food and fashion to entertainment and cars, a Desert Storm’s worth of advertising highlights makes All-American Ads of the ’90s a must-have compendium for every Beanie Babies–collecting, Simpsons-watching, pog-hoarding, and Harry Potter–loving citizen of 1990s consumerism.

Die USA in den 1990ern: Georg Bush senior, Zweiter Golfkrieg, Bill Clinton und Monica Lewinsky, Olympische Sommerspiele in Atlanta, Das Schweigen der Lämmer und Forrest Gump, Twin Peaks und X-Files, Douglas Coupland erfindet zur Freude des Feuilletons eine neue Generation X, Michael Jackson gilt als der "King of Pop", Kurt Cobain findet ins Nirvana, das Digitalzeitalter ist da, Baywatch reimt sich auf crotch, TWA und Continental Airlines fliegen noch, und billige Kredite bescheren den USA einen gewaltigen Konsumboom. Die Konsumgüterindustrie prosperierte, und die werbetreibende Wirtschaft verkaufte Mrs und Mr Doe und ihrem Nachwuchs benzinfressende Hummer, unschuldige VW Beetle, Luxusartikel von Gucci, Prada und Louis Vuitton und Unmengen Super Soaker, Beanie Babies, Game Boys und PlayStations.
In sechs Kapiteln, von Lebensmitteln über Mode und Kino, Unterhaltungselektronik bis zum Auto und zu Urlaubsreisen, entfaltet sich die ganze bunte Werbewelt des ausgehenden 20. Jahrhunderts - gestern noch der letzte Schrei, heute ein verwehendes Echo einer vergangenen Ära.
