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 ĺ entertainment
I would say social has gotten worse as far as communication. Do dudes even know how to carry a conversation with a female? Now we make excuses such as oh they're an introvert or a short attention span. Even Tinder has an AI wingman

I remember people were getting quality used vehicles for like $2k-$5k on auto trader.

That scaled down much better compared to today’s cars and salaries.

Man, I feel like we fell in love with the bells and whistles but the core pieces have all got wacker.

Even then, some of those 90’s cars had that aura: Mitsubishi Eclipse, Ford Mustang, Mercedes CLK, etc. So many generics cars today.

Introverts always existed. Dudes with zero game always existed. You're seriously asking if dudes know how to carry a conversation with females when there are couples everywhere. There is no shortage of couples in the US. I don't know where you are getting your stats from.

Incel and red pill didn't become a thing until around 2010s. Internet wasn't widespread until 90s and it was slow dail up. Also videogames wasn't all that big until 2010s, again the internet.

Before the Internet, even anti social people had some social skills because everything revolved around socializing. There was no videogames or message boards for them to congregate or get lost in

You lost me when you said dudes weren't getting lost in video games in the 90's. Like that is complete bull.

And the 90's was the era of Grunge music where being anti social and depressed was part of that whole wave. Goth was part of the 90's too.

That thing you made up about everything revolving around socializing as if the term 'couch potato' didn't exist in the 90's. As if going to Blockbuster and buying a bunch of VHS tapes to watch in your house wasn't a thing.

I scroll Tik Tok and IG and I see teens and young adults doing all types of socializing so I can't co sign anything you just said at all. It's as if you were just making a bunch of unrealistic opposite things to counter what I said.

PS2, which came out in the early 2000s is still the highest selling console of all time till this day :usure:





PS2 run was pretty much over by 2010 and most gamers had moved on to either PS3 or Xbox 360 by that point.

I don't know how any one can even remotely think that this era (2020s)is better than the 80s or 90s.

Even the 2010s was better than what we have now.

Inflation getting worse.

A.I. taking jobs.

Expensive housing

Expensive cars

Privatization of everything

Radicalization through social media and even mainstream media. (Everything is either some white power bullshyt or some queer they/them 🌈 bullshyt)

Politicians suck

Microplastics

Healthcare is joke


Women taught to hate and disrespect men unless they are clouted up OR some 6ft6 6 figure muscle bound play boy

This era sucks:francis: stop convincing yourselves otherwise.
