> “cabbage patches to Nineties old-school jams”  appears to define a time
> period for cultural references used by Fey.  The cabbage-patch doll frenzy
> peaked in the Christmas buying season of 1983.   So I believe the sense is
> the gestalt of the generation that grew up with Cabbage Patch dolls and
> “nineties old-school jams” in their formative years. (Tina Fey was born in
> 1970)

> Wikipedia describes “old-school hip-hop” as falling within the time period
> 1979–1984, which brackets the Cabbage Patch era:
> 
> Old-school hip hop (also spelled old skool) is the earliest commercially
> recorded hip hop music. It typically refers to music created around 1979.[1]
> Old-school hip hop is said to have ended around 1984, due to changes in both
> rapping technique and the accompanying music and rhythms.
> 
> There is a series of music CDs called Old School Jams, the first released in
> 1993, with tracks from the ‘80s; subsequent collections featured “jams” from
> the ‘90s.
