I remember "killer app" being a phrase I regularly heard in the 90's.

But also, you're right. Here's an article from 1994 describing Visicalc as a "Killer App" from the late 1970's, that prompted people to buy personal computers.

"Killer rap" was pretty popular in the 90's too.

You're thinking of "gangster app".
