Basically because it wasn't cool unless you were there. And I don't think that the 90s has got that outstanding stereotyped image like the 80s did.
If you go to one 80s party, you've seen them all.
You'd have to go to 4 different 90s parties before you'd start to see patterns emerge, I'd wager.

I loved it too, but, I think that plethora of different things happening pop-culturally is what's keeping it from having a united appeal like the 90s did.
Remember, in the 90s the Internet started coming into widespread public use — people were able to hear about and experience things that weren't just fed to them from the mainstream media. The 90s started the widespread fragmenting of mainstream culture.
Or, at least from a music business prespective, this is what I think.

Also, I missed the years when Shoot Em Ups were prevalent. At least there are Doujin Shmups and CAVE for now...

Why does the 90's get no love?
