McDonald's value meals $2.99 across the board
movie rentals was an adventure
Malls were alive
you had to ball the girls house to talk to her hoping her parents didn't pick up
commercials were better
better sitcoms
having a beeper was a bid deal
life was just some simpler and not as confusing as today
Seems like we traded all that for convenience at the price of looking at our phones all day now.

It was when all cultures live, worked together and liked the same stuff.
Professionalism at work, dressed sharp, seniority, hard work, and earning your keep.
Hair bands, birth of rap, country taking a more universal stride, and kids playing in the streets. Skateboarding, dirt bikes, basketball, football.

90's > 80's by a lot.
I wouldn’t want a pager when I was in middle school bc that would allow my parents to contact me before I came home when the street lights came on. Pagers were the beginning of the decline.

I think it depends on what generation you are.
For us that were kids and teens at the time, looking back it was amazing and the greatest time to be alive.
Our parents and grandparents may have a diff opinion of that. Just like the teens of the 2000s would likely have a more glowing opinion of that time than we would growing up in the 90s.
Looking back yes it seems it was the greatest time in history for us who experienced it, but at the time it was no diff feeling than our daily lives feel now for the most part.
Alot of that has to do with nostalgia and the way our mind remembers thing. We tend to relive our memories in a more positive retelling than what they were. This isn't to say everyone or every memory but most times our memories are shaded to the positive and we leave out or don't store some of the negatives.

Pagers is how you order weed without having to smuggle it through school or go all the way to the mall. It was the beginning of weed delivery. It was true breakthrough.

The 90s was so great our action movies all became dystopian because that's where we all felt the world was headed

The 90s were the last time things were good. Sorry you missed out.

I only had a pager around JR/SR year of high school and in college. I used to give the ladies at LSU my beeper number

Yep. The 90s were sick. The whole neighborhood of kids would get together and play football, roller hockey, trampoline wrestling, and other fun shite all the time.
Add in firework fights and basketball and you summed me up too.

The 90s was literally the most violent time in US history.
Pretty much any social pathology you can think of was spiking in the 90s.

70’s we’re better.

80’s was cool.
Kids played with friends outside.
No cell phones you were free.
You actually lived by doing something, not living through an IPhone.

I think it's standard for everyone to shite on future generations.
However, if you compare today to the 90's I do not think they are even in the same universe.
Culturally, economically, racially, musically, etc things fricking suck now.
I guess it's cool that I can google Jlaws butthole pics at the drop of a hat though.
