It truly was an amazing time. The 90's were pretty based as well, up until about '99. That's when it all began to go downhill. The USSR was truly gone, globalization had begun in earnest, and aol was quickly isolating people from their local
Communities.

Do you remember how much happier people seemed, in spite of much less "stuff"?

fucking shit, it was so fun
Buying booze underage was an afterthought. Places would barely ID you after 15 or so, no one got as worked up when shit went sideways.
There was so much less goddamn hysteria. People took things in stride. Like adults should.

Yeah. Truth be told, the only people I know who were depressed(pussies) in my school were the ultra nerds. I feel the Internet has destroyed bonds with reality.
>>73932358
I think the 90's technically continued until 9/11 2001
>>73932696
For sure. I've noticed the young lads who grew up with Internet seem far more depressed and sad. For us, the Internet is still a mindblowing invention that literally astonishes me daily. For them, it's a tool of isolation. Throw easy access to hardcore porn in and it's a receipt for emasculation. Poor bastards.
These bros had hardcore porn from puberty. We had Sears Sunday underwear ads.
>>73932825
Yeah, I just meant by '99 things had begun to go tits up.
>>73932062
Didn't but I love the fucking music.

cum guzzler detected
>>73932948
Music crushed it. I think that's why I like vapor wave and future funk so much. My wife, 6 years younger, looks at me like I'm a fucking lunatic.
>>73932825
Stop with this stupid meme. Things after 9/11 were fine, except for airports. The nation was probably as united as it ever was since World War 2. American pride and a sense of community was everywhere.
Things went to shit here SPECIFICALLY in 2008. Following the Great Recession, Obama, IPhones, Facebook and social media, BRIC nations, rampant immigration, etc. 2008 was the beginning of the end.
>>73932853
Haha. There was this one guy at my HS who I bought porno mags from, he even managed to get me a casette tape, it was pretty surreal at the time
>>73933013
Would a cum guzzler listen to this song you fucking pleb?

>>73933026
Same.
>>73933205
FUCK YEAH. There was always that one dirtball in high school who sold porn, usually a guy who flunked a bit and was old enough.
>>73933026
Let's all invent some fucked up retarded labels for music to suck dick to
>vapor wave and future funk
After the cum is gone,
>My wife, 6 years younger, looks at me like I'm a fucking lunatic.
It's because you ate cum.
And you're gay.
And you're

You're correct in stating that after 07 things got really bad, but the roots of that began around '99. That's right around EU, NAFTA was really hitting a lot of areas, all we fucking heard about on the news was globalization, Clinton's presidency was one shitstorm after the next. And the Internet began really hitting the mainstream.

BUT MUSIC WAS GOOD LOOK AT THE RETRO WAVE PERTY PICTURES

Man, so angry. In the '80's your ass would have been bullied properly but your single mom threatened to sue the school if you got one more wedgie, so here we are.
If being this belligerent on an anonymous Micronesian literacy competency board makes you feel better, rage away my little beta.
Just know that Bran from the Goonies would have fucked your ass up.
>>73932062
Yes, but it was degenerate back then too
Boy George, movies like the crying game, the Jeffersons, AIDS, MTV,
>>73932062
Everything went wrong in the 80s too, from jewood holocaust films to being raised by boomers.
>>73933445
What do you listen to then, fucking vaporwave and monkey music? That's all kids seem to listen to nowadays.
