80's kid here and maybe outside of Alice in Chains, those were the bands that convinced me to re-live 70's and 80's rock. late 90's rock kinda sucked.

I was in college at this time. The girls were wearing low rise, hip hugger jeans with exposed thongs everywhere you look. This was before everyone was fat too. You saw a few tramp stamps but the girls weren't covered in ugly tattoos like they are now. No nose rings or facial piercings either.

The late 90s and early 00s didn't bring us those bands. Those bands (besides Black Keys) came in the late 80s/early 90s. And I disagree that Limp Bizkit and Eminem were of significantly lesser consequence as far as pop culture goes.

Soundgarden, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains were all gone by the late 90s. Pop punk bands like Blink 182, Green Day, and Offspring were the big trend at the time.

There was no such thing as a "helicopter parent" or Life360. The freedom and autonomy as kid pre- early 2000s is something I think younger generations badly need.

So much better than the shite culture of 2020s. We never spent a second thinking about all the culture war crap that people lament 24/7 today.
This isn't true. The concept of "PC culture" came about in the 90s.

beside the Black Keys, all of these bands were more early to mid 90s than late 90s/early 200s

I was in high school 03-07 so a bit to the tail end of what your talking about...but man I always love that I grew up as the generation of kids that both did and didn't have the internet.
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
I was in high school the same years. It was pretty awesome. I remember meeting up at the mall to go to the movies and everything was planned on landline beforehand since we didn't have cell phones. We weren't worried about being filmed when doing silly shenanigans. Even when on computers/xbox we were talking to each other and not just doom scrolling. Before high school we were constantly outside in the woods doing stuff. Rarely watched TV.
I remember how excited it was when you'd login to AIM and the girl you had a crush on was online. I remember we all thought if a gal had XOXOXO in her username she was probably a slut

I loved being an early teen in 99-01.
We had the ability to use the internet to chat with friends, download music (and other stuff), burned CDs, etc but still rode bikes, wrestled on trampolines and other outdoor stuff that previous generations did.

1990-1994 was different than the late 90s. It was sort of an extension of the 80s culturally but with much different music.One example. In 1990 LSU's Residential Housing Authority (the group that runs the dorms) would host kegs parties for all of the incoming freshmen. But by 1995 that not only was discontinued but outright prohibited since 18 year olds could no longer legally drink in Louisiana. Just a minor example of how the culture shifted from the anything goes 80s and early 90s to something like Prohibition-lite in just a few short years. Oh yeah, and Nu Metal sucked too.

In the 90s it felt like tech was improving fast, but culture was declining fast. Now that it's 30 years later I'd say we were pretty spot on with those sentiments.

Raves weren't the goths scene. Not even sure what a wakster is...

THIS to me is the difference between now and then. Kids are inside way too much and under their parents thumb way too much. I grew up in early 80's Mandeville when it was still very much a rural / beginnings of a suburb place.
On a summer morning we would load up our bike (motorbikes once we hit 13) with a sandwich, chips and a couple of drinks. Pellet gun (.22 after 14) and hit the woods. We would be gone until dark and it was never a concern of the parents. We hunted squirrels and snakes, built forts and could ride trails all the way back through what is now Sanctuary to the Lake and hang out on the shore all day. That was great times.

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.
State palace in the late 90s was awful. A bunch of dumb cluckers sweating profusely and begging someone to blow vapo rub in their face. No drug makes someone as massively annoying as ecstasy.

Recently watched Woodstock ‘99 and didn’t realize the amount of teenage angst at that time.
The CIA got rid of Nu Metal because Woodstock 99 showed them how much power it gave to White people.

They had some borrow pits that were about a 1.5 mile bike ride along a high line and through the woods from our house. Summer mornings we would carry rods and tackle and fish all day. We'd tear the bass up. The owner of the land would call the cops on us every couple of weeks and we'd get in trouble with our parents for it. The owner would never actually press charges so we kept going back
One thing I really miss about those days is having absolutely no stress about anything.
