The reunification of germany and the dissolution of the soviet union were more important overall than nirvana, rodney king, or monica lewinsky. Public attention is just more easily captivated by beatings, blowjobs, and blue musicians than world changing events. The rise of the internet and artificial intelligence was also a 90s thing that might even dwarf the end of the cold war 100 years from now.


And they did an entire episode about the end of the Cold War and the changing global landscape that resulted. And they did an episode last night all about technology and the boom of the internet.
