Were the 90's really that great?

was never great. start of the 1990s was really strange.
Fuck yeah.
Great music. Hot girls. Bitchin' keg parties. Just enough internet to be interesting, not so much that we didn't still get out and socialize.
This image makes me wish I was a kid living with my parents again
This
fucking this.
You lived to find hidden porn stashes. Either in your dad's garage, somewhere in your brothers room or a ramdom tree house in the woods. You were always on the lookout for that shit.
Also, when you visited your friend you left your bike out the front on the footpath/ sidewalk. When it was time to go home, it was always still there.
+1 to this.
Pic unrelated.
>When it was time to go home
when the street lights turned on, not when my cell phone rang.
Hell yeah, before the smart phone and school shootings, feminists, traps, liberal cucks, alt right, and most importantly Yea Forums. I'd do anything to live in the 90's
I remember once my brothers bike got stolen. Cops found it and called my dad to come collect it. It was huge news for weeks people were shocked someone would even do that.
shit was cash
the 90s were great.
you could literally date 12 year olds and nobody would suspect anything.
for me yes.
this
Pretty much, yeah.
Fun concerts you'd have to go to a physical Ticketmaster place to get and cheap LSD too.
Compared to present times? Fuck yah the 90s were great and the 80s were even better
It had its ups and downs but there was a reason the most popular music of the era was either blaring nigger monkey shuffle shit or depressing Alternative rock where the main representative killed himself
The highlights
>>Internet is fresh new exciting and barely policied
>>Pro Wrestling hits a fucking apex and everyone is watching
>>Economy is incredible gas is cheap and jobs are everywhere
>>Vampire the Masquerade actually challenges D&D and is at its peak
>>Arcades are a thing and are packed with people
>>While the prototypes for the SJW crowd exist nobody fucking cares about or listens to them
>>Nobody cares about muslims terrorists or getting fisted by airport security
This.
>Also, when you visited your friend you left your bike out the front on the footpath/ sidewalk. When it was time to go home, it was always still there.
Sadly, diversity hadn't been our strength at that time so bikes would remain where owners left them.
Technologically it sucked, the only way to see music videos were with MTV and other channels and you had to wait for the music you liked, similar with the radio. Also don't even think about binging a TV show, also videogames were expensive so don't even think of buying a SNES game every week so you had to rent that shit.
The only good thing was that trannies and fags were the joke they always were and it was rare to see a nigger with a white girl on tv/movies.
I wouldn't go back.
People weren't offended by the smallest most pointless shit ever like they are today. No one gave a fuck about others useless opinions, we put it to one side and got along.
While not most popular, it was when shit like trance, techno, and other electronic music formed. Most of the good stuff today is still not as popular, but shitty pop edm is mainstream now.
yes, it was great to some content
this. also, 12 year olds.
At least back then MTV was about music and showed music videos. After reality tv was released by satan it destroyed 99% of channels.
>binging a TV show
I dunno, back then on nick at nite they would have an episode every day at the same time. During summer it would be the same show all night on different days of the week. They had some good fucking shows too.
Yep. Music videos, themed music video 'shows' Bevis and Butthead, Daria and Liquid Television. Turn that shit on, get high, get drunk and everyone just chilled on the couches fooling around with their girlfriends. Obviously other stuff happened, but mostly that.
In the UK we called it hedge porn. You'd be out with your mates in the woods or just anywhere outside of town where kids might gather to piss about and misbehave and you'd find dirty mags or a stash of page 3 girls that some older lads had left behind.
Also hiding your own videos that you got from friends or acquaintances at school. The original Porn Hub.
90s fucking sucked. The only thing worse than the 90s was the 80s.
your mom sucked millenial faggot.
No period under neoliberalism can be considered to be great.
Not wrong, but no one here remembers those days.
Yep exactly this. More time outside forging our balls, talking to girls, trance music all the way up.
It's funny in the 90s we had some huge news stories that really shocked is and we thought it was the end of the world. Like columbine which was only 13 kids killed, the oj trial, the mom who drowned her two kids in the car, the LA riots.
All that shits tame in comparison to now.
Most were kids fucker and they couldn’t care less about that. Adults had a blast as well. At least back then majority could buy a house have something called asset. Now you’re lucky if your parents help you and live in a rented house.
Fuck yeah. Much more liberal regarding sex, drinking, and drugs. And less Nazis. Oh and the Soviet Union just fell and for a very brief moment we thought humanity was actually making progress.
Eh its relative. Back then we had plenty of sandniggers bombing civilians around the world for no reason, it just wasn't a problem here. We also had endless niggers getting shot by white police, but it wasn't a problem because it was clear they were out nigging 99% of the time (except for rodney king who didnt deserve that).
Now muslims and dark criminals dindu nuffins is an actual political party.
>rodney king who didnt deserve that
He was a notorious wife-beating crackhead who led police into numerous high speed chases
The first 20 minutes of the vid of him getting beat are him fighting with the cops high on PCP and not going down from tasers or those baton shots. Fake news existed to push a narrative back then too the difference was people actually trusted it
im fine with some hard arresting, but beating a man on the ground is pointless, especially for the police. Just throw his useless ass in jail and move onto the next moron.
Wow you are actually too stupid to understand "He kept getting back up and tanked taser shots and homerun swings for almost a half hour already" arent you?
You deserve the nigger rape and AIDS you crave faggot
What ????? Is there a story that goes along with this or something
>What ????? Is there a story that goes along with this or something
the internet in its current form did not exist. and people were unaware that some men like 12 year old girls. so if you took one out on a date, nobody looked at both of you hanging out being weird, or suspiciously.
it was a different time.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves here buddy.People knew about kid diddlers for a long time especially after high profile kid killings in the 80s. What you could get away with more of was soliciting them back in the day when the internet was more lax and CP more widespread.Hell it wasent even that terribly long ago that it wasent uncommon on Yea Forums
But pedophilia existed before the internet.
>pro wresling
White trash detected
people didnt know just how many men want to fuck teen girls. the scale didnt exist back then.
now everybody knows.
Sort of true. It was mainly that people didn't all have cameras on their phones and post every little thing they did to social media. Secrets still existed. I/most never messed with
back then
no feminism
no political correct
was fucking great time
>While the prototypes for the SJW crowd exist nobody fucking cares about or listens to them
Kinda funny to go back and watch Chasing Amy now. I had a 24yo over so we watched it and she deadpanned "oh my god, we've progressed so far as a society since then"
Most overhyped time period of all time. 90s kids are the worst.
also, friends didnt give you shit for dating them. they would simply think of it as a joke.
Yea that's deff a lot more likely since it was the Wild West of the internet. But I don't think it was common place to date 12 year olds. Like how would that even happen considering they have parents etc
Are we talking teen or 12. Because yea I could see having a little 16 year old boppin on your cocky and nobody would care but 12 is a big leap
fucking this
not if they looked older. now even older people think its weird.
totally true, i was 21 she 13, she and I dated for 4 fkn years
I knew a few guys that would have a different one every time we saw them. That was frowned upon and they got very bad reputations with the 'real' girls.
25/12
Puerto Rican actually. Wolfpac style holmes
That's really pushing the envelope.
think kaylyn slevin. similar.
In our first date she was 12, but we start when she turns 13 in her birthday! 12/06.
Omgggg
oh wow. yes, totally not the same.
lol
the shocking part is she didnt dress like a whore (99% didnt) but everything else... hnng.
>forest porn
Jesus this is a true phenomenon isn’t it? It’s obviously not just a regional thing.
Sometimes it was gay though. Literally...
I thought the 90's were awesome, but I wholeheartedly accept that's because I was a kid back then and everyone has a nostalgia for their childhood era.
You have be a real dumb motherfucker to believe your rose-colored memories and not factor in your own nostalgia when you look back to any era and compare it to life in the modern era
There was terrorism and war and unrest and instability and fags and freaks and shitty music and dumb youngsters back then too, you just are forgetting to factor in that you didn't give a shit back then because mommy and daddy (or govt., or society, or the news anchor man) would take care of the worlds problems, it wasn't for you to worry about yet
Nostalgiafaga are a bunch of backwards thinking brainlets
It was tough if u were a poor fag. No internet, no cable, no toys, no games, no Netflix, u watch the movie of the week and that was it. Cartoons we're good but no DVR so you had to wake up early to catch em.
Ohh check out fuckin Opie Griffith pver here with having a curfew and shit. I bet you didn’t live in an alcoholic home or experience molestation either did ya faggot?
Well la-di-fuckin-da twinkle toes!
Back then meeting people was much easier. Nobody had their face buried in a phone, you had to go to different places to get whatever you wanted. 12 y.o. girls filled up the shopping malls. The ones that looked older made it a point to slip their leashes. Sneaking out of their houses to meet up after their parents went to bed. Many parents worked, so more than a few of these girls answered to nobody.
Many 12 to 20 year olds had convincing fake I.D.'s. Everyone knew where to get them. Flea markets. Or friends that had photoediting software and good printers and laminator. It was good money.
I turned 20 in late 92. More than once a girl I hooked up with duped me with a fake ID. Just because you met her inside a bar or club didn't mean she was legal.
Best I can tell nothing like that happens anymore.
90s was awesome, everyone was chill. no wars worthy of note. 911 changed everything.
>only whites like wrestling
Have you ever actually met a non white faggot?
Were they hard to pull back then?
This. It was ok to be
>straight
>male
>white
Not in the slightest.
I remember full well hating a lot of it.I hated when my NES wouldnt work and I had to blow in the cart.I hated the proliferation of shitty nigger music and culture. I hated how every girl in my neighborhood was told it was "Empowering" to suck off as many guys as Madonna. I remember hearing about Waco or Rodney King and then like a few years after the incident hearing shit about how fucked up things were long after it was relevant. I hated watching the Bears go from the dominate team of my childhood to the joke team of the NFL.
Don't forget Lorena Bobbitt!
Ah wiener whacker wiener whacker wiener whacker,
Deee dee dee deeee dee dee dee deeeedee oweea bumbawe!
I still got "NWO for life holmes" comments to my old Wolfpac shirt up until 2014 from other spics
>Were they hard to pull back then?
no. they still arent but the world is VERY different now. check out older movies from the 80s and 90s for quick reference. now everyone is hyper-aware of it and if you are seen you burn for it.
if you were 20s and cool it was very common to meet through friends and friends fo younger friends, etc. some parents were even ok with it if the knew you werent a loser. it was a completely different time.
I was born in '90 but everything I remember from that decade was pretty tight
Theres an old movie called PCU that was about how laughable politically correct college culture was getting. Its a great time capsule because the things considered stupidly laughable back in the 90s are downright tame compared to the bed-wetters of today crawling into their safe space after their attempt to "Scalp a nazi" ends with them getting bitch slapped
ITT: No one who was old enough to know what the 90s was like.
It sucked.
there was no jobs, the 80s had fucked it all, so everyone was fucked and turned to drugs or drinking.
sure you had some parties, but there is a reason why "grunge" took off, because everyone was a fucking scrub with nothing to do but listen to music and take heroin to forget about the shit.
technology was nowhere like it is now, and not until the 2000s was the internet good enough to do anything with, back in the 90s, the most you had was a pager if you were a rich kid, or had to be tracked by your parents "CALL ME NOW"
80s were meh, late 80s were awesome
90s sucked, but did have pretty decent music
00's were alright, mostly grey and boring
today is fucking shit due to all you fucking kids.
>I was born in '90
kill yourself you pussy nigger.
Not at all. Hell, it was actually hard to avoid them.
The reality was most just went with it. You could be fairly unattractive but if you would buy booze and pot for them, they'd give you every hole. Not even exaggerating.
If you were attractive, they'd walk through fire to party with you. No social media, so secrets got kept. Only time there was a problem was if you got them pregnant. Even then, usually the embarrassed parents just wanted it swept under the rug.
There were lots of baby crazy teen girls back then. Going on about how they wanted a baby because "it would have to love them".. You'd knock one of those up and even under torture she'd never tell anyone who you were.
Can you blow me where the pampers is?
>If you were attractive, they'd walk through fire to party with you.
yeap.
>Rodney King
It amazes me how many people don’t know the full story.
>he led cops on high speed chase
>passengers in his car who didn’t resist weren’t hurt although they claimed they were but no evidence backed them up
>first few seconds of video are out of focus but you can clearly see King rush cops and hit one
>beating cops gave king was actually procedure for resisting arrest
>king resists through entire episode continually trying to get up and refusing to be cuffed
Fun fact. The only reason why the guy filming had the camera ready was Terminator 2 was filming in the area around the rim and he either had recorded, or was waiting to record them shooting scenes.
>wears shoes on bed
in the 90s i knew a 13 year old who got pregnant by a 27 year old dude., guy would drop by sometimes to drop off money and food. her single mother knew.
Yeah that movie kinda sucked but it was clearly a comedy. Now it’s like 1984 and they’re ain’t shit funny about it.
>life sucks because everyone else and nothing is my fault
even if you didnt want them too.
crazy fucking stalker chicks who wanted nothing but to fuck the cool older kid.
you had to literally chase them off sometimes.
fuckin wannabe mallrats were a dime a dozen with their cupcake tits and stories of self-harm
This to a fucking T.
It’s as simple as not walking through dogshit or mud.
>>GO TO SLEEEEEPPPP
Dude the movie was sweet and it had Parliament which I only knew existed because George Clinton was in NBA Jam
Nah, i enjoyed my time, got some good memories... but i know for a fact the 90s sucked fucking dicks for everyone involved.
kids these days are fragile little snowflakes in comparison, life was tougher back then, you have no idea how good you have it.
Yes my dude! This as well!
kiss me where I pee
Holy shit is this true
>you don’t know how good you have it
I was born in ‘78 faggot.
>never had a 12 year old girlfriend in the 90s.
you make me sad user.
Fucking truth
I guarded my porn stash like a dragon sleeping on his horde. I cant even believe the kind of shit I can grab in a few seconds with a google search compared to when I was a kid and had to make due with the advertisements in the back of old Hustlers because they at least showed sex albeit with big black dots over it
grunge alternate punk hiphop techno goth rock metal rap... all existing in the same space and time , and quality ....good music the soundtrack for good times .
How old are you? I grew up in the '90s and it was fucking great. Maybe being an adult wasn't the same, but being an adult sucks in any decade.
google "My Father The Hero". (american version)
the shoes dont even have to be dirty simply wearing shoes in a bed is the pinnacle of degeneracy
Looggat dis queer
You incels today would stroke out and likely fuck yourselves to death on the thirsty underage cunts of the 90's.
They would aggressively hunt you down if you caught their attention, and their standards were LOW. Most of you would have a few to pick from.
If you showed interest in one, and you curled her toes with some actual effort in bed, she'd obsess over you, starting fights with other girls if she even suspected them of just looking at you.. Then she would beg you to let her bring her best girlfriend for a threesome.
This happened several times for me and some of my bros. Guys you stayed home hiding from pussy were either undeclared faggots or psych cases.
That's why X'rs like me look at you incels and wonder what the fuck is your malfunction.
t. pedophile
I was stating so. Hence the lack of question marks.
Man, y'all fucking dumb
can we go back? do we have the technology?
1971 here, so you should know what it was actually like.
don't think of the parties and the TV and the good times, think of the actual real life world at the time, think how hard it was to find a fucking job, the cost of bullshit, the fucking isolation, getting shit on for being jobless bum, having to use actual phones or your bike to get to places. the absolute trash state of everything.
yeah, you partied a lot, you ended up in fucking crackhouses with fellow bums having a great time, you had fucking groupie chicks being passed around as easily as the vodka, you tried actual drugs, exctasy was the shit back then, coke was for rich kids, you had weed, Es, LSD, and Heroin, but the point was, you did all that to escape the bullshit of every day life.
I was in my late teens/20s in the 90s, so i was in prime time for the shit, it was the angsty years that kids these days cant even comprehend, we couldnt vent online or post status updates, we held it in until we were fucked up enough to be a debbie downer at parties or shoot up ourselves or a school.
I don't even think that word was used in the 90s.
>y'all
>is this true.
learn to write you shit skinned nigger.
There were downsides too.I cant count the number of times some stupid faggot said something idiotic and I couldnt just google how absofuckinglutly wrong they were. Nobody had Cell phones either so communication was a bitch. Computers were also a rare luxury item and internet in its infant form was tough to navigate even when we got it in the late 90s/2Ks
I wanna go back just so I can not obsess over one stupid whore assfuck the hot goth girl I dated [Who was a fatty that got thin and hot before ballooning up again later as an adult] and keep my D&D and Vampire bros from wasting our 20s on stupid shit and depression
Sure. Pop a 1 megaton EMP 300 miles above the U.S. Canada border. Just make sure that every nuclear reactor and spent core facility gets a heads up and provisions accordingly..
About 5 years later we should be there again.
Just roll back the right tech and it would likely be even better.
>I'm a degenerate and spent all my time around degenerates, so the '90s sucked
>pic related
the last decade before SJW, feminazis, special snowflakes and 97 genders, top tier techno/dance/trance music, top tier action flicks, raves, 56k modem internet, VHS and cassettes, whats not to love?
theres a reason the machines had to make matrix in the 90s
Welcome to the 90s.
everyone was a degenerate.
either that or you had daddies money.
>yeah, you partied a lot, you ended up in fucking crackhouses with fellow bums having a great time, you had fucking groupie chicks being passed around as easily as the vodka, you tried actual drugs, exctasy was the shit back then, coke was for rich kids, you had weed, Es, LSD, and Heroin, but the point was, you did all that to escape the bullshit of every day life.
Yeah being a drug addict degenerate was everyone’s experience...
Again bud. You blame everyone and everything else for your problems.
Dude please stop Im going to cry. The constant use of social media and being online all the time ruined society. I still prefer to go outside with my friends but I see they rather stay at home and watch tv or play some fucking games. I miss going out and doing shit in real life :( Life was more intense back then and small things mattered. Nowadays theres just a bunch of impatient people wanting everything to come instantly to their desires
You seem to be missing the part where i say being a drug addict degenerate teen in the 90s was the good part, because it allowed you to escape the rest of the jobless clinton bullshit.
I wasn't a broke ass nigger, Army aviation 1990 to '95, medical retired then oil patch for a year until college. Oilfield services, made real money. $6000 to $9000 checks twice a month in 96. Uncle Sam mostly covered college. Plenty of time to party.
>VHS
Man, I want to be a kid again. I would give up 4K for sitting down with the family, renting a VHS from blockbuster, and popping it in, only to realize it needs to be rewound.
>daddies money
I didn’t even have a dad dipshit and I managed to not smoke crack and shoot heroin with fucking bums lol.
>this
Nothing depresses me more than meeting up with a friend I haven't seen in months, and they have nothing to say. Just show me memes from their twitter feed or tell me I should play Fortnite.
haha, OK, you were one of them
and neither did i, but i did hang about in crackhouses, when one of your friends ended up with their own place, EVERYONE ended up there... and did whatever they wanted, and a lot of the time, those were the only truly free places you could go.
I always figured that was the result of the malaise of the 80s ending
Everyone was expecting a nuclear apocalypse and your parents still remember the 70s the rust belt and how the Japanese were apparently going to buy us all out. All of a sudden the 80s happened everyone had money if you didnt have a crack problem and the commies collapsed in on themselves finally. This was great and all but you were suddenly left in the 90s wondering WTF happens now
Its why something as self-indulgent and spoiled as Fight Club was so popular. We had it so easy now that we started bitching about "Posessions owning us" and how we didnt want to work in a souless office cubicle. God I would punch the shit out of myself in the 90s knowing how much I would have loved an office job with no manual fucking labor and all my bills paid in the Obama years
>you missed the part where I said we had no choice but to do hard drugs even though you were there and didn’t
>Clinton made me blow men in alleys for crack rocks
Another 90's thread? Ah shit, here we go again
kek
if we're being honest though, Clinton might actually have done that
Seriously
I knew people in the 90s that ended up there but they choose that shit.Bunch of fucking losers that gave up and embraced being a POS because the ghetto was glorified
Yeah they keep making these threads and i dont know why. It's so pointless
Almost like there may be thousands of people on this site and not all of them have seen this shit
Odd. I had a Motorola microtac and an 800 number motorola flex pager in the early 90's on E6 pay.. The pager was necessary because it had WAY more coverage than any cellphone. I drove a Mitsubishi 3000 GT and a Chevy Silverado. I worked a couple of side gigs consulting for Lockheed and Honeywell, I worked on avionics for my MOS.
I enjoyed the early 2000''s more
Thats fucking lovely. I had a SNES that fell off the docks
Is that Shannon? Shopped??
The best job i had was a dredger, there were no offices round my place, lived pretty much out in the sticks, so it was all mines (which all got shut late 80s) random work crews with maybe a weeks work of labourer here and there, nothing too stable, but it got cash in your pocket.
a lot of people DID end up like that forever, or fucking died in some shithole rut, but thats my point, that was being 19 in the 90s, you either fucked off and joined the military, had some money that allowed you to fuck off somewhere and get a job (or someone got you a job) or you did fucking nothing... because there was nothing but going round to your friends house and either playing the same games with a drink, listening to music with a drink, smoking shit with a drink, having a party with a drink.
if you didnt live somewhere that got fucked by the goverment, a lot of business went down, loads of mines closed, for every job available there was every man in your town going for it, and a lot of them had years more experience. so you were shit out of luck.
the 90s were not golden years, great times, or BA DEST, they were shit, i've said numerous times, those parties and friends were the best parts of it, but not looking at a decade through some nostalgia glasses means i know they were shit times.
They told me they do it to make you cry your faggot tears.
Oh look! It worked!!
not shopped, got a whole snubs set from when she was in college
>tl:dr
Tl:dr
Yeah that sucks man. A friend of mine recently started playing fortnite and tried to get me into this shit. Never played it and I want it to stay that way. Another one actually told me im missing on life while him being online in discord every day playing games with some fucktards. Im actually working hard on my business so I can afford to let go of todays standards in a few years and just live life. Im sick of those hypocrites.
Nice!
Dude
YOU were a fucking ghetto trash loser
YOU were a failure that didnt find anything better in a time when jobs were plentiful everything was cheaper and taxes lower even under a commie like Clinton.
You hated what became of your life because you decided to become a druggie loser.
I remember the problems of the era too and while you aint wrong you are exaggerating and basing it on shit you let happen in the ghettpo and I know this because a lot of people I grew up with did the same shit
If you didn't have an internet connection, it was ok. Soon as you had your own internet connection, became 10X better. The best part about the 2000s was the ubiquitous access and speed. Search engines sucked until about 2003-2004. I remember when I was about 8 years old, wishing I had a pocket PC/ smartphone. The closest I had at the time was a laptop but no wireless internet access. Ricochet existed at the time but only in San Francisco and I lived in the burbs. Cellular radio was only 9.6kps and was expensive per minute.
Life started to suck after the tech implosion. I saw it coming and cashed out my stocks and rolled my 401k into precious metals in late 99. Then headed back to the oil patch for one more year, buying PM's with everything me and my wife saved that year. Bought a ranch here in central Texas. When gold and silver went parabolic, did some profit taking and paid it all off and went ranchers full time. Totally missed bitcoin. I refuse to trust it or whoever made it. Fuck that nerd shit. If you got rich on it, great.
So what is the point of this thread? It sounds like everyone is crying to me. Booooo everything sucks now. I want to go back to the past. You guys are like big babies
I remember when the tech bubble was starting to burst and watching the news say "No this is fine the economy is JUST right now because that growth of the 90s was out of control.The economy is great now not growing too fast or too slow"
News was still fake ass bullshit back then
haha y-yea? at least we have facebook and instagram faggot hahaha
Everything does suck now. I'm amazed this world can still find ways to suck harder, but it always does.
They were complete freedom. Before 9/11 the world was about going out, living life, and hanging out with friends. Once the millennium hit we were fucked with anxiety. Y2K, 9/11, all that shit drove us mad with worry and we only dared to stay inside where it was safe.
I miss being able to go wherever I wanted, without worrying about nazis, muslims, or rabid SJWs out to end my life.
The 90's were bretty good! It was a comfy and optimistic time. People in the 90's thought that the future was going to be bright and things would only get better. We had plenty of good entertainment. Political correctness was a thing but it was no where near as bad as it was today.
>YOU were a fucking ghetto trash loser
True, not gonna deny that, and i wouldnt change it, it made me who i am
>YOU were a failure that didnt find anything better in a time when jobs were plentiful everything was cheaper and taxes lower even under a commie like Clinton.
jobs were far from plentiful, maybe where you lived, but not for the vast amount of people i knew.
>You hated what became of your life because you decided to become a druggie loser.
On the contrary, i love my life, i went through the druggie stage, i had a lot of great times and great friends, some of which died from drugs, i lived fucking large expecting to die at any time so i did everything i could, i did disneyland on acid, i shared a bed with a different girl every night, i was in a pretty successful band which allowed me to have a fucking blast, and i came through it all and survived and made something of my life, so much so that i retired at 45 and have fond memories of the time, but i know, as should anyone who was cognisant of the times, that they were terrible grey hard years at the time, and those who got through it with lives and fond memories are the lucky ones.
They're just longing for a time when SJWs didn't have the power and anger that they have now. Politically it's a shitshow now. Everything else is great. I'm wondering how much of the SJW garbage is an outcropping of our sick, vegetarian/vegan society.
I noticed my mood was far more unstable/variable when I adopted what is called an "unintentional vegetarian diet". Been eating a lot more red meat, taking zinc, magnesium calcium supplements, avoiding soy, etc and I feel a lot more "normal". I really feel diet is a severely underestimated factor in people's behavior.
For real.
I lost friends over that shit. I warned everyone starting in December of 99 that it was going tits up soon and they needed to get into PM's. It's when I put my money where I said that suddenly I'm a crazy loon and they start talking shit about me..
Get this: Those same faggots had the brass to ask me for loans to "help them out" starting in early 2002. Slammed the door shut more than once that year.
>It sounds like everyone is crying to me
That cuz you’re a massive pussy with a projection issue.
>let me hang out in this thread I hate and bitch about it then cry harder when someone calls me out on it
You have got to be a millennial. I bet you kiss prostitutes on the mouth don’t ya faggot?
>nazis, muslims, or rabid SJWs
Where the fuck are these Nazis? I hear about them constantly and live in a super red state, but I've never seen one. I saw more in 90s South Florida actually, but they didn't really do anything except warn us about what's going on now and pass out flyers with jew memes.
Hey OP I just downloaded +17GBs of classics from the 60s to 90s. That is something you couldn't do back then.
Fuck nostalgiafags. I'm happy I don't have to hurry to blockbuster before someone else rent what I wanted to play on the weekend.
Mfw all these people says 90's are great

>Hayabusa
>Cars started to get fast around 90's 1000whp and such what's better than going from 0 to 160 in under 20 seconds
>Porn actually got good
>extreme sports got popular (x games ect)
>Daddy Bush presidency
>Hydroponic marijuana got big
90s were pretty lame besides some advanced in technology
ehhh
Succinct and precise.
I don't know, the news tells me they're about to bring the 4th reich with some racist frogs or something. Just another reason to stay home.
>wasting time on frivolities is better time spent than building a business
Just wait, he'll start to resent you once you have money. He'll tell you that you got lucky, and make excuses for why he has nothing. You'll end up with new friends who actually do things with their lives.
see.. there's the problem. of course it's comfy to download everything at home and not have to go out to blockbuster etc. but ask yourself what it does to you. maybe you had a chat with someone you met by accident or things like that.
The internet was fantastic. Could say and do what you wanted.
Tv shows were awesome.
not everyone is an amerifat bro
Blockbuster was for the ultimate fail of a weekend. Means you didn't have any pussy for some reason. Usually down with the flu or something.
Typical weekend was some BC bud, girl or two in a 69 while you fuck the one on top doggy with the one below going between your balls and her clit while watching Aeon Flux, The Head, Beavis and Butthead and The Maxx.. But all of you snacking and laughing watching Daria.
This is a perfect post to show the embodiment of faggotry of current thinking. The fact that you think it’s reasonable to download 17gigs of music is perfect example of what Buddhists call “hungry ghosts”. Who the fuck can possibly ever listen to that much music? You can’t.
It’s like how you used to be able to experience massive climax to a pair of breasts. Now studies show erectile dysfunction in ever increasing numbers because you are saturated with all and any kind of porn imaginable.
god no, I'm in former Soviet Union republic, when USSR fell, it was like wild west here, not much money, lots of killings, every 2nd guy was a mobster etc.
ITT: boomers
you've come a long way since then.
yeah, quite much like any other EU country now, well still don't earn quite that much as old Europe but we're doing OK now
Iraq war ?
Gen X mostly, moron. Boomers were already old and dusted in the 90s. Us Gen Xers were in our teens and early 20s in the 90s.
>90s was awesome.
Music was fucking hard to carry around and acquire though. fucking walkmans were huge and chunky, as were their cassettes. Discmans were a bit better because you could store more shit on a CD, but it was no where near as good as MP3 players or streaming music that we have today.
no fuck you
>>Internet barley existed
And it was also the Wild West.
>aids was like wildfire
Rates were decreasing
>LA riots
Didn’t live in LA why do I give a fuck.
>Yugoslav wars
Didn’t live in Yugoslavia why do I give a fuck. Also 9/11
>Clinton presidency
How is life any different now to you than then?
>liberals became increasing popular
Well they’re far more popular now so what the fuck is your point?
>most millennial trash was born then
Uhh same as point above. They have an actual voice now so how was it worse then?
>crime was widespread due to gangsta rap
Crime rates began to drop actually. Gangster rap doesn’t cause crime anymore than heavy metal musi caused satanic killings
>north Hollywood shootout
Don’t live in North Hollywood why do I give a fuck?
>waco cult firefight with atf
Not a branch davidian why do I give a fuck?
>WTC bombings
Jesus fucking Christ... 9/11!!!
>fall of USSR the only thing keeping USA competing in world standards
The USSSR was all but done. Before the 90’s.
>Horrible clothing style
Yes the sjw and numale is clearly better
>girls were clingy AF back then
They aren’t now? WTF
>guys were mostly queer or anti violence
Holy shot dude NUMALE!!!
This has got to be the single most pointless post I have seen tonight. You’re clearly the faggot who was triggered earlier because everyone told you your drug use and degeneracy was your fault and not Bill Clinton or the 90’s.
>MTV
MTV music awards were really awesome to watch.
>Games
Sega and Nintendo were realased amazing amazing games. These games were great in the sense that you got enough rush in playing 1-2 hours that you would want to go out and still do things unlike GTA type games that have so little in rewards that it feels like real life.
>Movies and cinema
Movies were more about storytelling than about bullshit cgi fights on green screen. Pick up any movie from the 90s (that released in cinema) and they had to have an amazing story and direction AND score to be "well known".
>Soaps
They were terrible no doubt except a handful, but because they weren't needed as much, coz you know people had something called a real life and weren't glued to their couch as much.
>People
Were more human and less apathetic (IMHO) probably because they weren't fed so much gore and bullshit. If it didn't hurt them personally they would ignore most of the propaganda (large scale and small scale). They were healthy and active.
>Cars
It really mattered. Unlike now where people are judging cars by their software engineering rather than mechanically. Also people were healthy coz they walked more.
... I could go on
>being this new
They don’t mean actual Baby Boomers. Lurk more
This. I was 15-16 when Y2K happened.
what about 9/11? That happened in 2001, but you know that, right?
I know, I've been here for ages... It still pisses off the pedant in me, though. Words have meanings goddamit! For us, the Boomers actually did destroy any chance at a better world, and lumping us in with them, ironically our otherwise, is fucking stupid.
Yeah 9/11 did happen in 2001. It kinda makes you wonder what would've happened if it didnt happen
Things started rocket sledding into shit after 911. In particular, the obvious end of privacy and the end of the right to not have a government nigger check yer azzhole...
Yes, there was a WTC attack before 911, but the U.S. didn't shit all over itself about it.
>killed himself
>that guy at achool with the disfunctional family that always had some new porn every other week
back when snaggletooth dunst was still kind of hot.
>only whites like wrestling
I was more concerned with the trash aspect. I guess I was being kind with the white part
It makes me wonder if 9/11 didn't happen would the war in iraq happen and would the patriot act exist
The 90's was a sign of the next global age of war, none of the tech, or social progress matters at all.
85million people died as a result of WWII in 6 years. Not only did we crush the all time record of history, but we did in pretty much no time at all. You see the consequence of this kind of destruction isnt actually the lives lost, its the total loss of culture that can occur. In 1 generation you kids might live but they might as well have started as hunter gathers because its possible to have lost your culture that existed for thousands of years. That is the consequence of modern war. You got to remember that before this that war could last for generations at its worst, but your people still lived on, maybe absorbed into something new, but still there. We spent the next 40 years saying fuck you to each other in mutually assured destruction untill we realized that ALL would be lost if we start another war. That is the true legacy of the 90's, 87-01 represents the time were the nuke button was off the table for now, because of that were all not fucking farmer and murderers.
The only think that keeps the cold war on ice is profitable globalization and the fact their milarty machines never stopped churning out tech to keep one step ahead.
this thread is about 90s. why are you talking about 9/11??
911 was definitely a major catalyst for change. It's interesting how many people attribute all attitude changes to it.
If you were 15-16 in the year 2000 you're solidly a millenial by all accounts
Just as the Manson murders was considered the cultural end of the 60's, 911 is the cultural end of the 90's, along with many other things.

>Clinton presidency
How is life any different now to you than then?
specifically how about the 1980 Motor Carrier Act that deregulated interstate truck freight.
i mean would be a totally different industry today ?
Yeah.
Well, I think it all depends on what level of life you were in during the 90s. I was born basically at the start of 1980 so I was a teenager during the bubble.
The music was dope. Golden era of hip hop.
Pop rock alternative was pretty dope.
Girls styles were sexy like the crop top, ring in her lip, JNCO jeans wearing chicks with blue hair..
This was the birth of those type of girls
We had the birth of the dopest raves.
Now they are like a parody of themselves.
Watch Tonics video for You Wanted More and pay attention to the high school kids style and the whole vibe*
90s as phuk
It was what the 60s were to folks in the 80s.
I was there, I lived it up, and it was a blast.
>st to show the embodiment of faggotry of current thinking. The fact that you think it’s reasonable to download 17gigs of music is perfect example of what Buddhists call “hungry ghosts”. Who the fuck can possibly ever listen to that much music? You can’t.
>It’s like how you used to be
Erectile dysfunction is not directly caused by porn. That's just a bunch of crap. It's caused by factors that would reduce testosterone. Male testosterone levels today are 40% less than they were in the 1970s. A male in his 60s in the 1970s has levels that are similar to a male in his 20s today.
>Tonics video for You Wanted More
>mfw my band played high school gymnasium concerts like that all the time.
Ah, the memories! I too was a teenager for most of the 90's and it was a great time.
Hanging out with friends IRL, house parties, relationships you thought would last forever. Great tunes too(I was more of a punk and grunge rock type)
What thefuuuuuuuuuck
The 1990s were full of pussy emos 1980s all about live life have a good time then bam 1990s I don't want to work I'm a lazy cuck everything should be hand to me cry more bitchs
Emo was a 2000's thing, we had goth kids in the 90's
Born in 91 in Norway. Shit was good but things got worse doring the 00 but that is mostly because I got older I guess, and also more migrants.
people nostalgia boner all the time over the 90s but if you are actually old enough to remember it as an adult you realized how shit it actually was. the only real good thing about it was the economy was pretty decent so you didnt much have to worry about money but other than that there was basically nothing to do beside drinking and drugs
niggers, women, and jews ruin everything user.
Goths an emos are the same thing...pull out a thesaurus. Its the same as saying queer is not a gay.
Yes... Things are generally good when we have a Democratic president.
17gb of music is about 3800-4000 songs.
An album is 10-16 songs, EPS are 4-6 songs.
Using the average of 3900 songs, at 12 songs per album, that’s only 325 albums.
Not really a lot when you consider audiophiles would have that many vinyl LP records that they owned and stored.
Friend of mine growing up had 700 something albums - he DJ’ed almost every event anyone hosted back in high school. He actually started doing in in junior high there just wasn’t as many parties.
Says the 12 year old who has no experience with either..
If I'm 12 how am I on this site it ask if your 18 and older to join and I'm staying the 80s were better O.o
Emo is a style of rock music characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace.
I knew a 14yo girl who was dating a ~40yo, around 1998, everybody of her friends knew too but I guess no one figured it was any of their business or something and we all felt like we were adults more or less.
