Est. 1969
1996. It was a year when your bedroom was your world. When photos weren't called low fire, tier just worse. When you tore out pages instead of saving worst. And going online meant getting off your phone. A year when you knew your friends by the screen names. An era defined by personal style. And the perfect pair of jeans. It's also the year I was born.
