📺 1993 on the West Coast: Chaos, Culture, and Change

🌎 Before smartphones and social media scrolls, 1993 unfolded like a nonstop highlight reel—equal parts chaotic, tragic, and unforgettable. On the West Coast, the year wasn’t just lived, it was performed, with politics, pop culture, and disasters colliding in ways only the ’90s could deliver.

This light-hearted documentary revisits the wild ride of 1993 in the Western United States, where blockbuster dinosaurs shared headlines with wildfires, scandals, and one unforgettable Halloween night on Sunset Boulevard.

🎬 Jurassic Park roaring into theaters and changing movies forever
🎸 Nirvana rocking San Francisco with grunge and grit
🏒 Gretzky and the LA Kings chasing the Stanley Cup
📺 The debut of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Bill Nye the Science Guy
🔥 California wildfires, Waco anxieties, and the hantavirus scare in the desert
🎭 River Phoenix’s tragic final night at The Viper Room
🍔 The launch of the Food Network and the rise of tech in Silicon Valley
⚖️ Clinton’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” NAFTA, and RBG joining the Supreme Court

Whether you were lining up for dinosaurs on the big screen, trading Power Rangers at recess, or watching the headlines roll in on the evening news, 1993 was a year that left a mark—messy, loud, and unforgettable.

Step back into the chaos. West Coast style.

Feel free to draw parallels to Weird History's own excellent series of year-by-year events. I'm not trying to steal anyone's thunder here, just adapting a great idea to my neck of the woods! 😋
