These were my kid years and high school years. From that perspective, the 80's and 90's were great. I can't speak for working adults at that time, but it was a shitload of fun growing up in those times.
Great movies. Great television. Great baseball years. Great toys. You still had great social interaction with live, human beings.

Thats the problem with these new generation dudes.
Easy access to titties so they never had to learn how to procure a real set of titties like you had to do 1990s and before.

I grew up in 70s and early 80s.
Nobody gave a frick about what you did as kids.
We played, hung out, talked to each other all day, got drunk and partied a lot, and generally came up with ways to entertain ourselves. And we weren’t pussies with helicopter parents. We all the scars to prove it.
Beer and drugs were easy to get. No AIDS. Didn’t even know coke was bad for you.
Watch Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and Dazed and confused, almost famous too if you want to see music scene a bit. The 90s was Valley Girl, Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club, etc or at least that was after me

I can say growing up in the 90s that we played street hockey all the time. I loved waking up and watching MTV and dreaming of what it would be like to be a kid in college and go to those kinds of parties. It was a big thing when LSU went to a bowl game and I dont remember feeling like the world was ending if we lost. I remember always wanting to beat Florida bc they always beat us. I enjoyed watching boy meets world and the girl on there. Don't know how to spell her name. Really did drink from a water hose. Is it really any better than things now, IDK, my bike got stolen and I ran to my friends house and got in great shape. I feel like my kids now just call their friends to come over. I would say it is more about technology which has reduced the time kids spend outside. So yes it was as great as it sounded but idk if that is just because i lived it.

The 80's version of this was that Rod Stewart ate so much cum he had to get his stomach pumped. Kids in the 80's didn't get so much attention. The advantage was that you could ride your bike all over the city.

Those were the days when the cops would just tell you to pour out your drinks and go straight home and not be caught out driving again that night.

Yes! I grew up in CA. Half pipes and skate parks were awesome. Being a teenager in the late 80’s and 90’s was the best.

Such a bs response. Air fryers exist so we can have the taste of fried food without the oil. We have figured out how to use them other ways, but they were originally designed for cooking with little oil.

1995 we were driving through New Iberia on our way to Outer Limits in Duson at around midnight, I was driving and had been drinking Crown, as well as my passenger, I was 20 years old.....cop pulled me over for speeding and I told him to not waste anytime on a field sobriety test bc I would fail....
He made me follow him to a sub-station down the road where I had to blow if I wanted to get let go....so I blew over the limit, he wrote me a DUI ticket and let my buddy that I was with, that had also been drinking, drive us away.
We ended up at Outer Limits till 4-5 am then the after party etc...
I ended up getting everything dropped except part of the deal was that I couldnt drive for 6 months
Things are much different now

90s were great and 80s were truly iconic. In the 90s a new music album would come out and would have a real impact on the scene whether that was Pearl Jam or Soundgarden or Pantera, Primus and AIC and for rap we had Tupac and Biggie and UGK and many more. Hot Chicks embraced Abercrombie and Fitch and the late 90s thong song took the thong to a new level that girls started showing off they were wearing them in HS. Was just awesome. We had AOL instant messenger but that was about it, nothing crazy on the tech just enough to keep it fun.
Anyone talking social Justice was considered a total douche and people got along MUCH better back then without these dumb commercials, social media and identity politics ruining everything.
It wasn’t perfect but god dang it was awesome.

90s were awesome as a teenager.
From hearing the stories and seeing some of the stuff, it seems like it only gets better as you go back- The 80s were a little better than the 90s, the 70s were a little better than the 80s, the 60s seemed like an absolute blast...

Yep, and hardly anyone, much less everyone like today, was bitching about it not being a perfect utopia and wanting to throw you in jail for every perceived slight imaginable.
