Things were clearly better in the 90’s. All the tech innovations and modern comforts needed and none of the decay of society that this stupid fricking phone and social media has created.
Agree
90s were the peak

1974.
I would love to spend a Saturday with my grandad in Monroe eating breakfast at the little diner at the hotel on the Ouachita River, go with him to pick up some random parts like a lawnmower wheel at the local businesses and visit his good friend, the old black man, Sam and eat freshly cooked sweet potatoes over the washing machine, say hi to Albert at the Gulf station near South Grand, stop by Mrs Wills antiques and she might give me a free Indian arrowhead then come back to their house and help him work in the yard and then bring all the neighbors on south Grand care packages my grandmother made and visit with them.
I didn't know how good I had it.
ETA and I didn't know how good Monroe had it. South Grand was like Mayberry back then. We knew every business on that road and every store owner was a friend.

1955 - so I could invest long enough to buy a ‘57 Chevy Bel Aire Coupe.
Put it in a storage locker.
Then jet on over to
1966 - so I could invest enough to buy both a ‘69 Camaro and a ‘69 Charger.
Then Id skip the early 70’s and watergate bullshite. Pop back out around 1978 when music reached near perfection. I would still check on my cars but I’d have to get me an economical car because I wouldn’t be able to afford to put gas on those old cars. I’d invest heavily in tech stocks. And hang around until about 1991. I loved the 80’s.
I’d skip over to about 1997 and re-live some of that decade making shrewd investments because quite frankly I was drunk the entire 90’s and don’t remember a single normal event that wasn’t occurring in a bar/club that entire decade.
Then I’d soak up 2000 before the end of the innocence.
I’d have to skip over to like now. Because honestly 2001-2024 kinda sucked. But I’d have some damn nice cars.

If u could go back to a yr since 1900, which would it be and why?

1999 was a good year.
ETA anything from 1996-99 would be OK by me.

What year did we start the peace corps? Stopping that would save an 8 year blight on our nation.

New York City, 1955. The first rock n’ roll shows at the Paramount-Bo Diddly, Bill
Haley and His Comets, Chuck Berry etc. Also the Yankees, Dodgers and Giants playing in their respective venues. Mantle,Mays and Robinson. Safe streets and affordable rents.

1900. My grandpa was born in 1899, would be interested to walk life in his steps. He died when I was an infant so I never knew him.

I would go back to April 20,1901 to Braunau am Inn, Austria and strangle 12-year-old Adolf Hitler to death.

This - I think the 90s was the perfect combination of internet / limited cell phones & kids playing outdoors / biking the neighborhood with the 1 rule to be home before dark / dinner. Both connected with friends while at home (AIM was the GOAT) but had to have kid adventures.

I mean sure, but within 5 years we’d be in Korea, the Soviets would have the bomb, and we’d all be scared shitless that nuclear war was going to happen every day for decades.
Honestly, peak US power was probably that 10 or so year period post Soviet collapse, pre-9/11.

1980, start of a great decade!

The 90s was a good decade. I was born in the late 70s so I had an 80s childhood and young adolescence and 90s HS and college days.
I feel like GenX got a pretty decent draw in life whether you were a teenager in the 80s or 90s.
