The cartoons were better. The city was your bike trail, just had to be back before the street lights turned on. Couple bucks in your pocket and you had snacks all day.
It was great.
It was great.

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.
This.

The movies were targeted to us and captured the generation.

It was great. People cooked more at home so eating out or fast food felt more special. Real food not tons of processed shite.
People didn`t get offended as easily.
People loved "our" country.
Movies were better because it wasn`t the same recycled ideas.
Music was better and had more replay value as artists didn't put out albums every year.
Most people didn`t really live off of credit cards like they do now.

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 was joking. The only time me or any of my friends had one it was just for show walking around the mall and it never worked because it was my dads old one.

I see alot of people trashing modern music and while yes alot of it isn't great, underground music scenes are great because they haven't been industrialized. Still alot of modern music isn't for everyone.

Remember what it was like to have to wonder about something?
Or go dig out an encylopedia? Or a road map? They are certainly missing out on a lot of great experiences/lessons.

You could do/say what you wanted. You didn't have to worry about 15 people pulling out their cellphone and uploading a viral video of you, trying to cancel/ruin your life.
10 minutes later, whatever you did was forgotten about. Now something you tweeted 15 years ago can cost you your job.

I was born in ‘78. 90s we’re amazing. Miss them all the time.
Posted on 10/6/23 at 11:56 am to lawlcow318008
It was ok.

I spent my childhood and early teens in the 90s.
I remember being optimistic and excited for the future. I'm not confident a 13 year old today feels that way. The lack of optimism anymore (across all ages) are the root of a lot of our problems IMHO.
I also remember being excited by technology. Now I hate the thought of more tech, more screens.
Don't get me wrong, I wear an Apple Watch for exercise -- it makes tracking when running outside easy and music changing / volume with ease. But I immediately, change back to my mechanical watch -- I don't need another screen / piece of tech chirping at me all day.

College research using the card catalogue instead of looking stuff up on computers.

I can remember not knowing what certain bands looked like unless you saw a poster or from the CD/cassette insert. Now, anyone with a modicum of fame will have thousands of photos of them on the internet. Really takes away some of the mystery and mystique of music.

So did the end of radio being the most viable source of music.
There was something magic about hearing your song and knowing the person you were thinking about was listening at the same time...

I had one of these in my Jimmy when I was in high school, around 1991

Every kid in America believed that Marilyn Manson removed his ribs to suck his own dick.
We didn't have social media or twitter. The internet was relatively knew. Everyone didn't have cell phones.
Yet this rumor made it to every High School in America, somehow.
Truly weird.

Nowadays people just sit on those phones and watch other people enjoy life. Except those content creators are probably not even enjoying it since they’re crafting and curating their content to get viewers.

But we also didnt have things like the air fryer.
Air fryers are great, but they exist because mothers aren’t in the homes cooking. Everyone is overcharged in productivity, so we’re constantly looking to cut corners.
Speaking of, the “information age” is overrated. I don’t care about having the world’s knowledge at my fingertips. Not any more. My life isn’t necessarily better because of it. I’d much rather hang out with friends, reward my SAHW with good sex, and tend to the neighborhood. Go on a few adventures. Die a happy man.

Yup. Everything in demand nowadays definitely has its advantages but it also highly devalues art. There were times if you wanted to hear a certain song, and for one reason or another you couldn’t get the cassette, if you caught it on the radio, it could make your day. And then, it was gone, until that lucky magic moment hit again.
