90s were good until the whole y2k scandal thing. that's when you realized people were actually THAT stupid.

and then, 9/11 happened :mjcry:




:hhh:@ reality for what it is.

all of this music / movie stuff is just a form of GOSSIP. Think about it. You are enjoying someone else's thoughts ..

I will admit that internet has improved but it is not enough for north americans. there are so many other countries right now that have better connections than us.

smh @ all of these social media stuff because they are so simple to be made..

people were doing the hashtag movements in the 90s.. people were using IRC .. online communities were much better ... reading was an actual thing ..

it was a blessing when cell phones were not popular - life was simpler possibly due it being more traditional

:picard: @ people who still support gangsterism / ratchet behavior / selling drugs / taking advantage of your own kind in the year 2017 .

let's face it, we are all actors. we are all directors because we have cell phones. what is the difference between a cell phone and some hollywood guy with an expensive camera equipment. we record (stalk / blackmail) people through social media because we decide who gets to be a celebrity, right? think about it. this is the culture we all created.

"All the world's a stage" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare. I would suggest you all to read that on google or something. shyt is fukking true. everybody you know is an actor in real life. for crying out loud - some of yall snapchat or live stream your crimes for the whole world to see. i don't think people realize that REAL life is Real Life.. on top of that - You can't just fukkin record people without their permission.

:dame:reading the terms and condition was an actual thing back in the day, breh

we also respected other people's privacy

ps: piracy was almost rampant due to black boxes, satellites dishes, and recording audio / video tapes.


now a days, people want everything including sex in an instant all from the internet

:gucci:it was good to talk to the opposite gender naturally in the real life ... the internet, video games, television, all of this stuff really destroyed our ability to speak :hubie:

some of yall still live in ya mamas basement and treat it like a hotel :mjlol: like breh, you were encouraged not to do drugs, not to ruin other people's lives and etc..

:jawalrus:it was a blessing how we were able to get rid of the KKK and neo nazis type of people.. they took a major L..

but truthfully, we need to stop hating on our own kind :scust: like stop promoting this ratchet shyt

The struggles of VHS/cassette dubbin is something I'd rather not experience EVER again :ufdup:

This 2010s era will be one to look back at though :wow:

Definitely a superior era. Everything seemed much more organic back then. Technology was still fresh and new and only served to supplement our real lives. Now our gadgets control us. :snoop:

The 2010s right now is the best decade of all time.

It's so awesome to be living today. Everyone is so happy these days, life is so good with all this freedom of expression with the internet.

I just love to see people living great lives, who would have thought we would all be celebrities in today's age.

The 2020s is going to be a zillion times better than this decade, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

How are you born in 1984 and calling yourself flabby and sick or old????

A lot of black people have a defeatist loser-ish mentality. It doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, nothing is ever good enough despite the fact that we are blessed with great genes having melanin etc. We just love to give out pointless insults to ourselves and others for absolutely nothing.

90s NYC was the bomb when NY wasn't known for Ls. Justin's in NY used to be lit. Cigars and Cognac Tuesday. I remember I stood right next to Allen Iverson, Sprewell and Jamal Mashburn thinking wow. Nells, limelight, the tunnel all good clubs and good times

We will likely never again see an era that brought immense creativity, liveliness, excitement, and excellence like the 90's did.

Black people had the best shows and sitcoms. Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Smart Guy, Sister Sister, Martin, Malcolm and Eddie, Living Single, In the House,the list goes on and on. There was such a diverse range of great television that represented us in a positive light.

Unmatched level of swag in terms of fashion

Taking pictures with actual cameras

High quality music and newly explored sounds and styles. So many amazing artists in that one era alone. RnB, Hip Hop, Pop, it was all amazing.

The films...Clueless, Space Jam, Home Alone, Boyz n The Hood, Friday, Titanic. Timeless cinematography that perfectly captured the essence of that era

The up and downs and unity that commenced after the Rodney King/OJ scandal

So much precious time taken for granted. Now that era is looked back with nostalgic undertones, but it's beauty and simplicity will never again be replicated. Truly an era of versatility and expression. Excitement, youth, and fun energy. Excellence. :banderas:
