Quite possibly. For kids stuff, it was great. Movies, not as good as the 80s, but still had some solid flicks. For music and fashion, it was atrocious, but fashion was awful in the 80s as well.

I really like 80s movies, but let's face it that most of them were cheesy. The 90s, not so much. Yeah, they had them, but the most memorable movies from the 90s are pretty much masterpieces. We had "Big Trouble in Little China" and "The Goonies" as memorable films in the 80s. The 90s gave us stuff like Shawshank, Schindler's List, The Truman Show, and Goodfellas. I think that many 80s movies are more defined by slouch, while the 90s great movies are period pieces and will hold up far better in the coming decades than the 80s will.

Yeah, the 80s had some real "slouches".

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
Back to the Future 1 and 2
Ghostbusters 1 and 2
Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2
E.T.
John Hughes films
the greatest decade ever for cartoons and children's shows
the greatest ever decade for horror films
and much more.

The 90s had a few great action movies, 1994 was a great film year, and 1990's Good Fellas but overall it falls far short of the 80s. Movies and music wise the 80s absolutely blows the 90s away. Fashion was better and girls looked better overall with straighter hair in the 90s as opposed to the 80s.

As for Clinton not doing anything wrong in the 90s, he was largely responsible for NAFTA which has been disastrous to American manufacturing. His cohorts in the Senate were getting Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac cranked up during that time which greatly contributed to the real estate meltdown in the mid to late 2000s.
