How was the culture of the late 90s/Early 00’s

Not as awesome as the 80s, but still really great because the internet was still in its relative infancy (at least in the 90s still) and society as a whole hadn't turned completely fricking batshit stupid.

Don't care. Nothing will be better than 1980(ish)-1994(ish). If I could put us on a perpetual time loop where we are in that era permanently, I would.

How are those Louoogle stock prices these days?

The 1990's were peak American society in my opinion, but to be fair I was only alive for half the 80's so I think there's an argument to be made for the 80's as well.

The 90's were awesome. Great music and innocent times until the Columbine shooting in my opinion. That's when things started to go to shite.

If you listened to FM radio back then, you knew 3-4 Backstreet Boys songs. Admit it.

Almost as great as Motley Lue

I had a long talk with this 20 something kid a couple years back who spoke about the history of drug culture and raves in late 90s and early 2000s like it was this amazing stepping stone in the History of the USA. I kept telling him things about his thoughts that were wrong but he insisted he studied it in depth and had 'all the historical facts'. Finally i told him bro I was at the State Palace numerous times and while it was fun it wasn't about changing the world and what he thought it was about.

Finally just told him it was a good conversation and left. What you don't know you don't know I suppose. We just didn't care and the girls were hot...that was it. Simple as that. Fun tho

we could hop on aim and chat with anyone and look up just about anything, but didnt have it strapped to us... could still hop on a bike and disappear

That sums it up fairly well IMO. It was there, and usable. But definitely not a necessity, and for the most part people didn't care about using it to alarge degree.

How prominent were “Wanksters” and “Goths” for those in that era? Feels like this was their peak timeline
