ITT: We discuss the 90s and what made it so great...(The GOAT Decade)

[KOohbt]

Shyt was like another universe

Kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s had the greatest childhood in history.

Easily. Idk what it was but it's unparalleled. I don't even see kids outside anymore. They all got smart phones. I couldn't fathom having a cellphone. Not like they did anything anyway. No internet is what makes it so different I guess.

Dude...seriously!

Family Matters
Hangin With Mr Cooper
Roc
South Central
Homeboys in Outer Space
Fresh Prince of Bel Air
The Wayans Brothers
The Magic Show
DEf Comedy Jam
The Chris Rock Show
In Living Color
The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show
The Jamie Foxx Show
Living Single

And now what do we got? Blackish...and Empire...and Power. And Love & Hip-hop. That's it.

Terrible.

My brother and me may be the goat show to be canceled after the first season. I still laugh at the episode they got beat up by a girl and came home covered in mud lmaoo.

90s was peak America. It found the prefect balance between everything. Today's America is a land of excess. People take things too far and standards no longer exist

The 90s...arguably the GOAT period for hip-hop.

Happy I grew up with so many classic songs, albums, and rappers.

This is why I can't take today's hip-hop/rap scene seriously now. It's like an episode of the boondocks.

Women looked better in the 90s... the music was on point and you had a perfect blend of technology and go-out-sidedness. Cell phones weren't mini computers so everyone wasn't glued to them.

The artwork in games was better. It's sad that it's 15 years later and I'm still reminiscing over the 90s.

I plan on buying this arcade game one day. (the whole arcade)

My 8 years old birthday party at Celebration Station.

Still classic R&B. They were playing all my life at Pat O'Brien's Sunday and I had to record it and send it to my chick. She loves that old stuff. I marked way the fukk out at seeing that x men arcade in player 1 (video game bar). Don't forget stand up comedy. Who here knows about George carlin? Ozzie dropped no more tears, his last classic album. Got to grow up watching Shaq beat up on every center who thought they could check him. Who here remembers going to the movies and not paying out the ass? Then hopping all over the theater?

I've seen Blockbuster already posted but maaaaan.
There was nothing better than your folks declaring Friday or Saturday a Blockbuster night.
They would rent their movie and rent you a videogame or two.
Might even grab you some candy at the checkout and if they didn't feel like cooking, they ordered a pizza when you got back home.

Gamefly, Red Box and Netflix just ain't the same.
