Southwest Montana

The region in Montana that starts in Columbus and stretches west to Butte. It goes north into Townsend and south near the Idaho and Wyoming borders and Yellowstone National Park. The people here are like a hybrid between Eastern and Western Montana, and Butte is included even though it is west of the divde. Bozeman is located here, but due to its uniqueness is in a class by itself as is Helena, which is a mixture of the three regions.

Southwest Montana is often not thought of as a region, but due to it being a mix of Western and Eastern Montana, it deserves its own classification.

Transition Era

Also simply called the "Transition", this is the time period between the 80s and 90s, from 1989 to 1991, possibly very early 1992. This corresponds with the administration of George Bush. The Cold War was over, but the 90s had not started yet since Bill Clinton was not yet in office. Cartoons of the time period were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (along with their live-action movies) at the height of their popularity, the Nicktoons like Dough, Ren and Stimpy,and Rugrats, Captain Planet, and the latest Super Mario brothers cartoons to name a few. USA's cartoon express was still stubbornly hanging on though. This was also when music made a change from the 80s "hair bands" to the Seattle Sound and the grunge scene. Hip hop and rap were becoming more mainstream. The fashion was somewhat of a hybrid with 80s and 90s, neon colors remaining popular. This is also the same time that The Simpsonsfull length episodes premiered on the young FOX Network.

The Transition Era was awkward for all involved due to the drastic changes that occured. This has not occured before and so far not since.

Usually they are rated PG-13 so as not to be seen as childish but not to exclude the teenagers who are out of school and can't get into R-rated movies yet.

Jaws is often thought of as the first summer blockbuster.
