People took the 90s for granted

[flea]

Does op realize that any generation can say the same thing?


The pop and rock dominance of the 80's

Hip Hop with hardly any profanity in the 80's

The classic movies of the 80's

The 80's cartoons with Transformers, G I Joe and Thundercats

Atari and Nintendo and the original Sega, Turbo Grafx 16.

The 80's being the "Just say no" decade



I can also do that with the 70's and the 2000's.


Anyone can do a retro throwback on their era

Your era was butt. No profanity hip hop? Say no to drugs?

It was the right before computer technology completely took over so people couldn't out their business out for everybody to see. My parents came up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and even they talk about how much they miss the 90s

Most older people miss the economy more so than the social stuff people under 40 say they miss.

Life was very different pre-9/11. 9/11 brought in a bleak, negative energy and completely ended the easygoing energies of the pre-9/11 era. After the towers came down it was as if everyone entered into an alternate reality filled with paranoia, anger, and confusion. The 90s had an air of lightheartedness and ease that we do not see today.

Racial tensions were just as high if not higher back then than it is now Rodney king, riots everywhere not to mention that little girl who got shot in the head by the Koreans, you had the crack epidemic and gun violence everywhere dudes were getting killed literally everyday in just about every major city and with the 100 to 1 law judges was putting nikkas under the jail

We didn't have much money back then but they did a lot better than some people I know. But they were big fans of the music, movies, and tv. We used to actually sit around and watch tv together as a family. Half the shyt that comes on 8pm now I won't let my daughter watch. Also I used to play my pops in Tecmo Bowl almost everyday

Yeah in the 90s you could get two weeks of groceries for like 50 bucks. Also there was
Cusion so many people grew up with humbly opposed to straight up poverty that those same salaries would yield you today.

Back then making 35-40k was good money in most cities in America.

Every decade has its negatives but I think what he's getting at is the 90s were really the last decade before the 24 hour news cycle took over. Now we know everything happening all over the world when it happens. That shyt makes people paranoid

 

[You Win Perfect]

Naw it makes people informed back then a cop would slump you toss your ass into the woods and it was a non-story the Rodney king tape was one of the first times that the world got to see just how vile this country is and the worst part about it they were all let off...I rather have an unlimited acces to information than be left in the dark and go along with life blissfully ignorant

We knew that shyt was going on back then. But now we catch them with their hand in the cookie jar. At the same time it's not like anything happens to these cops even with all the info. But it's bigger than just what happens here. We get constantly bombarded with info from around the whole world

 

[Nymbus]

why you nikkas so obssessed with the past?

Cuz back then they still had a chance of going pro
Why wouldn't a breh feel on top of the world?
Boy I tell you it wasn't for team politics and rolling that ankle I woulda...

 

[Supreme365]

Y'all forgot sports.

Jordan, Kobe, Iverson, Vince,Hakeem, Shaq, Mike.tyson, tiger woods, Randy moss, Jerry rice.

TV wasn't so agenda filled either, and porn induced ED wasn't a thing

Kobe,Iverson,Vince,Shaq and tiger were at their best and most popular in the 2000s Tyson was a god in the 80s but in the 90s his life spiraled out of control he lost his title and freedom and fukk c00n ass jerry rice

When they talk about the 90s they don't even bring that up tho

 

[King Poetic]

I'm a 90s head, however it was those hoes in that era for the reason we have bad ass kids today period...

these 30 and 40 year old black men and women has been failures of these new kids
