re: What was the 90's ACTUALLY like? Was it really a great time?

The 80's were the absolute best. Get off the bus and grab your bike and just hang out until the street light came on. Your arse hurried home as soon as that light popped on. The Lakers vs Celtics were huge just about every year. A teenage boy probably didn't spend more than five minutes in his room, unless he was asleep at night. We did have to worry about those pesky Russians, but that's about the only care we had.
