So, since streaming didn’t exist in the 90s, shows from the 80s and even the 70s were still airing frequently on many stations worldwide. In North America, this included things like Super Friends and the Christopher Reeve movies. And because these things were still in the collective public consciousness, they were also referenced and parodied in numerous other books, tv shows, movies and songs. Those references carried over into fandom, both because they were in canon and because fandom creators were also soaked in these pop culture references from birth (seriously, thanks to syndication, by the 90s Superman had been on tv in some form or another for 40 years). Honestly, it would be legit impressive if you never saw or heard Superman being mentioned in the 90s in an English-speaking country. Krypto’s a little more obscure, although he did get his own show in the early aughts.

Those references carried over into fandom…
What fandoms? Where?

Superman certainly was mentioned in the 90s because there was a Superman show airing at the time. But it wasn’t mentioned in multi fandom zines even though the Fox Batman and X Men cartoons were. Superman wasn’t prolific in fandom in the 90s, and certainly not to the point that it’s surprising someone didn’t know about Krypto via fandom osmosis at that time. Which is what AYRT is pointing out because someone made that claim.
