So, the other day, I got this sudden urge, you know? I was just minding my own business, and then BAM! Alanis Morissette popped into my head. Not just her music, which, let’s be honest, is still pretty killer, but specifically what she looked like back in the 90s. It’s funny how your brain just throws these things at you.
My Little Nostalgia Dive
Anyway, I figured, why not? I had some time. So, I sat down, fired up the old computer, and decided to do a bit of a digital dig. My first step was pretty basic, I just typed “alanis morissette 90s photos” into the search engine. You know how it is, you start broad.
A whole bunch of images came up, mostly the iconic stuff from Jagged Little Pill. The long dark hair, the intense stare, all that good stuff we remember. And yeah, that was cool, a good starting point. But I wanted to see if I could find something a bit different, maybe less polished.
So, I started refining my search. I tried adding terms like “live performance 90s,” “interview photos 90s,” that sort of thing. I scrolled through pages, clicking on things that looked interesting. It’s a bit like treasure hunting, you never know what you’ll stumble upon.
What I Found and What I Thought
And you know what? I actually found some pretty cool shots. Some were a bit grainy, clearly not professional promo photos, but that’s what I liked about them. There were a few from what looked like smaller gigs, or maybe some behind-the-scenes stuff. It’s always interesting to see a more candid side.
- I noticed a lot of the classic 90s fashion, of course. The oversized shirts, the ripped jeans, the chokers. It really takes you back to a specific time.
- I saw a few where she was laughing or looking more relaxed, which was a nice contrast to the more serious image she often had.
- It also struck me how different it was back then. You didn’t have everyone with a smartphone snapping pictures constantly. A photo felt like more of an event, something a bit more special.
I spent a good hour or so just browsing. I didn’t really have a goal, it was more about the process, that little trip down memory lane. I didn’t even save many, just looked and remembered. It’s wild how images can transport you back, even just for a little while.
It got me thinking about how music and artists were presented then versus now. It was less about constant curated feeds and more about album art, magazine spreads, and music videos on TV. A different world, for sure. Anyway, that was my little practical journey into the visual archives of 90s Alanis. Just a random thing I did, but it was a pretty enjoyable way to spend some time. Made me want to dig out the old CDs, actually.
