So do ya'll still think this era is better than the 80s and 90s?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I've read several times here on the coli how NOW is better than the 80s and 90s because crime is lower. I'm a 90s kids but I'll take the 80s over this current shyt.

Better in what aspect?

 

[2 one 3]

It’s so funny how the Internet and all that shyt they talked about in the 90s bringing us closer together has made us more isolated and feeling alone more than ever today

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Better in what aspect?

In every aspect. Would you choose to remain I'm this era or the 80s/90s?

Hell yeah this era is way better than 80s and 90s
Technology and medical advancements for starters

Current day is better than the early 90s, but the late 90s? It's debatable.





NYC was a awful place for a good chunk of the 80s and 90s, late 90s NYC things got a lot better compared to previous years. Being a teenager/young adult in late 90s NYC probably was






Only negative of late 90s NYC was them blood nikkas giving random brehs, not their opps, buck 50s




I heard stories of a group of nikkas bumrushing a entire subway car and robbing EVERYONE in the car

You mean the expensive technology that nobody can afford that constantly breaks? Medical advancements don't mean anything if people can't afford that either.

Folks struggling paying $2000 rent and $20 eggs. We got 2 clowns running the country shutting down fed jobs, destroying the education system, and going to war with China.

People were struggling in the 80s and 90s also
I guess nothing changes
It's nothing new under the sun

Entertainment and socially wise, no.

Technologically, yes.

 

[Plankton]

Entertainment and socially wise, no.

Music videos at my access and behind the scenes takes on favorite artists were not a thing in the 90's.

Having any album I want from any genre within seconds was not a thing in the 90's.

Having options outside of cable with streaming sites and Youtube.

Swiping right until I can find the perfect match to line up with a total stranger to have sex with in just a few hours

Linking up with a prostitute via IG DM instead of wandering the strip

Are you sure about this era not being better socially and entertainment wise?

How are you a 90s kid but can clearly state you would take the 80s

 

[MidniteJay]

I prefer this era, it's too convenient. I was born in the late 80s so no attachment there and what I remember of the 90s is not enough to make me want to go back.

 

[DonB90]

90s cause I grew up in what some would consider the hood and miss that concentration of Blackness. Plus Black folks were cooler back then still had that soul to em.

Not anymore

00s > 10s > 20s

The 20s have been ehh so far and just feel like an extension of the 2010s. It doesn’t have anything distinct that separates it like the previous decades did.

I’m 30 and I think the 2000s were the best era overall though. So much nostalgia for it which is kind of funny. Back in the 2000s I was super nostalgic for the 90s and now in the 2020s I’m super nostalgic for the 00s and don’t really care for the 90s anymore.

What’s super interesting is that the 2000s doesn’t really seem that far away. I was on a 9/11 binge a few months ago and was looking at tons of home videos and news broadcasts and that era seems so familiar and close even though it was 20+ years ago. Meanwhile when I was on my 90s nostalgia trip back in the 2000s the 90s felt so far away and like a whole different world lol.
