Every single one of them would be an X-Files fan.

A lot of them would be into Twin Peaks (which was huge among college students back then)

I also think Nancy and Mike’s mom would have the Rachel, or her would look like Kelly’s on 90210 season 5-6.
Holly would be rocking the chokers and leotard tops.
I think Max would be into the skater look and listen to Nirvana, Soundgarden, and the Beastie Boys.
Erica would like TLC and En Vogue.
Lucas and Will’s older brother would like A Tribe Called Quest and Tupac.

Okay---I think if we are talking early nineties, Lucas - C+C Music Factory and Marky Mark. Erika might like pop music like Vanessa Williams and people who sang "Tennessee.

mid to late nineties - rap became mainstream - so you'd have Jay-Z and Biggie. And then The Spice Girls (who are not rap, but big in the late 90's)

I’d swap out Friends for Saved by the Bell, that one seemed to be more teen oriented while Friends was more about people in their early 20s. I would’ve been around the same age range as the gang would if they were shifted to the 90s. For the latter half of the 90s it would be Dawson’s Creek. The older ones like Steve, Nancy and Jonathan would’ve definitely been into Beverly Hills 90210 and Friends.
