The 1990s were an interesting time in pop culture. From the sudden rise and immediate fall of grunge music to the regular use of “NOT!”, the era saw many fads. It was also during this time that video games and Macaulay Culkin became pop culture fixtures.
The Home Alone series put Culkin at the forefront of various types of media while the burgeoning video game boom created memories that would last decades. ToeJam & Earl for the Sega Genesis was more Pootie Tang than Home Alone, but still popular.
