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

It was pretty good. I grew up in the country, so I probably did more stuff outside.
I could be anywhere and doing anything. Getting drug by horses across cotton fields, wrecking dirt bikes, catching snakes, fishing, bottle rocket wars, killing shite or getting caught jumping off the roof of our house and barn onto trampolines. Most weekends dad put me to work if we weren’t fishing, hunting, working at the camp or playing sports.
