Where the 90's really that great?

No. The 80s were better
>>74902390
Yes.

Oldfag here
The 90 was shit. You could literally watch the destruction of out nation at the hands of the Democratic machine and Bill Clinton
We went from the peak of the 80s to the low point were at now and its been like watching a fucking train derail
Considering GW got so much shit from trying to turn the train ever so slightly back to the right I have no hope for the shitters of this country
Enjoy your socialism and failure millennials. you WILL be the last generation congrats!

Like it or not, this is what it was like for everyone, and I thank God everyday for those who didn't live in the 90's.

No, 90s were the decade when the world totally fall in the degeneracy
>>74902753
Sorry your dad was a fag but that doesn't make the 90s any less awesome
>>74902390
90's were pretty great.
Every decade had positive attributes before the 2010s. Its all downhill from here.
>>74902753
that sounds exactly fucking accurately correct.

>>74902569
70s and 80s were better. 80s arguably more materialistic than the 70s, so not as good all-around.
90s were the lull before the storm, but still better than anything since 2001. Many of us thought that with the fall of Communism that the Marxist menace was bascially gone forever. In the 90s it was just incubating, particularly in the Academy.
For me America has been dead since 2008. We got the crash and Obama, and it's been madness ever since.
>>74902751
You are a moron
W and Karl Rove fucked over the country with immigration and called anyone opposed racists
golden age of vidya
The industry started devouring itself with bloated development costs after voice acting and high poly models became a thing.
Pre 911 America was awesome you guys that disagree are either babies or faggots
>>74902390
no the music sucked and it was the era that spawned the modern reality tv show.

American Society went of full tilt during the 90s
"gangsta rap" really took off and niggers went from being a benign evil to full blown chimp out all day every day
Gays really started coming out of the woodwork
It was when we went into full decline
>>74902751
stop pretending you're older than you are on the internet
yes op. the 90s were amazing. well, the late 90s weren't, but before that, it was a fucking blast.

Nope all that shit went out of bossiness due to the recession and NAFTA
>no trannies, gays, muslims on the tv 24/7
What? That's when the PC machine started and that shit became mainstream in film and tv
>actually optimistic about the future
Nope, that optimism died as soon as the country voted a socialist in office in 92

>>74902390
It depends.
The 90s were amazing in that the Internet finally took hold and put the world at your fingertips. The economy was booming. A responsible Republican legislature and a bluedog Democrat president got shit done. It was the golden age of vidya and the last decade of decent rap. Best decade of SNL. The birth of deadpan comedy.
That being said, after Grunge died buttrock took over. Fashion was really bad.
>>74903313
Gangsta rap was better than we have now
>>74903400
The late-90s were great, though.
1999 was a fantastic year.
>>74903554
I'd argue against that
At least now it's just nonsense and revolves around getting money, catching stds and having "swag"
Back then it was about killing cops and that "the man" was the enemy
It really divided society more than it was
It was the birth of the shit you see in the media with the black vs white agenda

>>74902390
i grew up in the 90's (born 1976). i can tell you the early to mid 90's in the US was the best time in the history of the world
best music, video games were a recent innovation still, cd's were still a new thing, the commies had fallen or just fallen, the US had everything, PC/diversity was not crushing, all was new and the future was bright
>>74903486
>Grunge
Mentally ill uber-edgelord Kurt Cobain killed radio. Pop music and radio was never the same sort of cultural experience or force after.
>>74902390
no. people tend to glorify and romanticize the decade that they are too young to remember. i remember when the 60s and 70s were supposed to be super awesome and were all nostalgified. every decade is full of bad happenings and degeneracy.
>>74902569
This. The 80's were before affirmative action and the volatile leftism that had been dormant since the 60's became active again. In the 80's America was still white, straight, Christian, the upper class was classy and aesthetic.

I'll give him credit in that he realized what he did and killed himself for it.
Nirvana was hardly the pinnacle of Grunge either.

>>74902390
Again
Yes it was fun. The internet wasn't as alluring as it is now. Opinions of nobodies didn't saturate our senses. Once 9/11 happened, our world began to suck
>>74902390
If you were a kid (93), but other than that the 90's was a sign of the future decline.
>>74903732
Yes it was.
>>74902390
clothes and vehicles seemed more colorful
>>74903999
>>74904283
I like listening to Nirvana.
What did bad stuff did they do?
>>74904396
>Once 9/11 happened, our world began to suck
Actually, that isn't a bad time to date the change, if we're to pick an arbitrary date. It was around the same time that the big .com bubble burst, and the Internet reinvented itself as the shitshow we now call Web 2.0.
>>74902390
Not for white people. Grunge/alternative music turned men pussy. Cities adopted European liberal sentiments. Globalism began to take root.
>>74904461
Kek, yeah that happened.
Then again so did the LA riots, hollywood bank robbery and unibomber so there was other shit speckled throughout the 90's.
>>74904533
The commercialized the Seattle sound, which was a unique, lo-fi antisocial rock that stood in opposition to the hair bands, nu-wave, and bubblegum pop of the 1980s.
Nirvana (unintentionally) made it a hollywood industry with their Nevermind album. That opened the door for Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. Once that sound became desirable, every asshole in the mid 90s tried imitating it (Bush, Stone Temple Pilots, Creed, etc...) and made the scene complete shit.
>>74902569
This, but the 90's were far better than the aughts, and this present decade is probably the fucking shittiest since the 30's. 70's were pretty garbage too though.
>>74902569
fucking this
>>74904885
>70's were garbage
There had to be a transition period. Some fantastic shit came out of the 70's.
>>74904859
Basically there wasn't any diversity in music? And everyone went playing grunge or post grunge music.
>>74904942
Get that monstrosity the fuck out of here.
>>74902390
> The 90's
I remember my dad dying and my mom trying to fill the empty void by allowing anyone with a dick and a wallet into her life.
I also remember a lot of yelling.
The 90's sucked.
>>74905028
The 70's weren't garbage if you were a biker or hick...
>>74904650
90's music was not all grunge you still had hair bands and metal, country had its best decade,Techno took off and there were roof top parties in the city every night.
>>74902390
None of the 15 year old edge lords of /pol/ were alive in the 90s so how would they know?
>20 years from now young little shits will be asking 'Were the 10's really that great'
>mfw
>>74905265
Or a business exec. The 70's were the sweet spot where you could be a private investor or corporate exec and really make your own money. When the 80's came in, huge international conglomerates bought up everything.
>>74904859
that's hardly unique to Nirvana, its just that they made music so good it couldn't be contained to a shitty local scene full of rained out depressed Heroin addicts.
Op Ivy did the same for 90's punk, turned most of it into an amalgam of pop and teen angst. No one can steal an original. only make watered down copies.
The '90's were the last best decade in American History
>Computers becoming more common, but don't control everyone's lives like today
>No hover parents to constantly watch over their kids
>No tranny, LGBTBBQ agenda
>No security state like today
>Great rap music
>great economy
>people generally more laid back and relaxed
I could go on and on... Fuck I miss the '90's. America changed so much after 9/11

>Where the 90's really that great?
yes the 80's were better though
>>74905224
lolz I had a shitty childhood in the 90's too but don't you think the overriding culture made up for a lot of it?
>>74902390
The 90s were schizophrenic. They had the outgoing 80s on one side, and the growing pc culture on the other. You could never be sure who you were dealing with.
It was the same with girls. Some were still traditional, some already were entitled bitches, despite looking more feminine than today. It felt like a fake package, while today at least you can learn about female nature on the internet.
By the mid 90s it was clear that the culture was
heading towards the sensitive side, although this change was often confused with getting older and people's expectations of you change.
But of course it was more than that.
>>74902751
oldfag. I concur, I remember the destruction with the "real world" and nigger rap gaining popularity.
niggers started to pop up everywhere in everything. look at Captain Planet for fucks sakes token everything.
It was an era of political correctness.
>>74905426
9/11 did really change everything.
>>74903453
>socialist in office in 92
didn't Clinton get rid of welfare?
>>74905426
before this you didn't have niggers on tv, people thought they were dirty except the "one nigger" Isaiah Thomas or that one nigger Magic Johnson etc, all other niggerdom was glorified on tv in the 80s
>>74905180
Yeah I should have posted that, this being a nsfw board and all. Hng
I think i'm sexually attracted to cars with pop up headlights.
I was a kid in the 90s so I won't comment on politics or society then but without a doubt I can say that vidya and the internet were better. There were a lot of AA games that had good funding but tried different things. This of course is in addition to the legendary blockbusters. Most of the devs were total nerds that liked what they did. For awhile freaking flight sims were a big portion of the PC market, and MMOs like Tibia and Ultima Online were brutal and satisfying compared to the stuff today.
One major fact that influenced the culture was that the computer was something that was in the corner of a room in your house, and the internet required at least a little skill if not to get online then at least to navigate. That really changed the nature of online interaction compared to now where there are people growing up online all the time and don't even own a PC they just use their phones and tablets...
Then again I bet a bunch of kids are getting nudes sent to them via Kik, Snapchat and other social networks, it's probably easier than ever to find and interact with girls from school. So maybe things are better now from the young man perspective.
>>74903999
What killed radio was Clear Channel buying up everything. The city radio stations that might've played more real rock or metal or local bands in addition to the top stuff got bought and homogenized.
>>74905801
no the end of the Cold War
Politicians started to believe their own bullshit about multiculturalism and "freedom" "democracy" after the evil totalitarian communist "homogeneous" culture was defeated (the better model)

>>74905837
Just like he balanced the budget!
I have fond memories of the 90's, but the 80's were so good. When grunge came about as a reaction to people having too much fun, you know you had just lived through a special time. There was just enough of a threat of nuclear annihilation to make you want to make every moment count. Then the Berlin Wall came down, everyone realized the U.S. had won, and it was time to start worrying about retirement.
>>74906212
>WCW/WWF Monday Night Wars
Fun times, those were.
>>74903291
90's Jerry Springer was pretty cool. The Jerry cam that went to peoples homes and showed the fucking worst people in existence was a glimpse into the future.

Gingrich cut welfare. Clinton shut down the government for weeks trying to stop him before finally conceding.
What I remember about the 90s:
>being a middle class kid without worries and not yet poisoned by cynicism
>playing outside a lot with plenty of friends and some qt grills
>playing great vidya that was special and magical with new developments like the N64
>cool cartoons and movies for a young lad to enjoy

It was great to be honest.

All these nostalgia fags need to reassess their lives.
Technologically 90s sucked, it's only getting better everyday. I can't wait for the days when cars are automated and space travel is cheap as flights.

Yeah kids would go to the mall and just hang out. In the arcade you could have a crowd of people around if you did well because other kids would go to just watch. I see people now wondering "Who would watch someone else play a video game?" but arcades were Twitch before there was Twitch.
>>74904859
All of those bands were playing music at the same time in the same place. It was a zeitgeist that was not spearheaded by one band. All four of those bounds, as well as other bands like Mudhoney and the Melvins, were producing good music unique to the northwest.
Yes. I would do anything to go back.

So your dad was probably either an abusive psycho or an alcoholic. Doesn't mean everyone's parents were back then.

If you were a kid, yes. The 80's are far more overrated though.
90's had much better movies and music, 90's had better looking women, there was no internet so you actually had to live life. The races were more separated and there wasn't as much whiny faggots.

A lot of people talk about how the iPhone changed everything but cellphone culture experienced a dramatic change from the mid-90s to the 00s.
"Clueless" came out in 1995 and cellphones were rare and expensive enough that two high school girls talking to each other on them while inside their school could be used as a gag.

The 2010s are such shit. Trump please.
My childhood was the 90s so I might be unfit to really comment but I remember adults being a lot more happy and there was a general air of optimism. People couldn't wait for what the future had in store, especially in the late 90s with the hype for the new millenium. I remember everyone being so excited for the year 2000.
To me I noticed a change when 9/11 happened and by the Iraq War all that optimism and hope had vanished and become replaced with a biting cynicism and pessimism that has kept festering until this day.
>>74910078
>>74906608
Things were a lot more wild in the 90s because there were no 'social media campaigns' by people who were always 'offended'

Not going to lie..After the last decade I would rather see the bottom pic than the top

second half was great. that's the half that everyone remembers fondly.
first half of the 90s was great. second half not so much. not bad, just ok. like the soda. ok as fuck.
00s and 10s have been fucking piss from a butt

I used to wish that I had turned thirteen in 1990. Then I could've experienced the decade in all it's grunge and baggy pants and actual conversation. Back then you could just go up to women and pick them up anywhere. You would get turned down or you'd have a conversation. Nowadays that won't happen unless you're in designated social venue. Even then you're not guaranteed a conversation - only quick chit chat then check social media and then text and text and text.

The 80s were an explosion of pop culture, patriotism and confidence like never before. 90's were 00's light, with the seeds of destruction only beginning to germinate.

With the exception of airports, America following 9/11 was actually very beautiful. Patriotism was at an all time high, George Bush had insanely high approval ratings, American flags were EVERYWHERE, communities came together, people were empathetic.
I was in Chicago of all places too. I remember the days following 9/11 with great pride.
It was 2008 that ruined America. No exceptions.

It didn't. We were enriched. 9/11 didn't shut down the cruising circle dindu shootings did. 9/11 didn't destroy the malls, attacks did. 9/11 didn't empty the bars and clubs.

Yes the 90s were great. And so was basically every single decade up to the year 2000. It seems like as soon as it hit the mid 2000s, looks became EVERYTHING!
In the 90s, dress attire was very casual. As soon as it hit like 2005, all of a sudden your fashion, and how you dress mattered.

>Back then you could just go up to women and pick them up anywhere. You would get turned down or you'd have a conversation.
Not really. I found women a little easier in the 90s than the 80s, but women were status conscious and materialistic--unless you were the local coke dealer who gave away free samples---
I doubt much has changed.
>>74921559
>all of a sudden your fashion, and how you dress mattered.
Same as the 90's, you're delusional. Yeah people may look like clones now but it was the same shit back then too. It may have been worse tbqh
I've got a good story from the 80s. There was about 7 of us that got caught cheating on our final couple of tests in 9th grade English class. We had to pass or fail that class and be screwed for the next year. Wellwe got caught with our cheat sheets. I've never seen so many zeros entered into a teachers grade book. Remember this was before electronics. Laptops. Well, we broke a window to gain entry to her class room and stole her grade book for the entire year. She had left it on her desk and the door was locked but the rock broke the outside window so...... We grabbed that grade book and thru it in our bomb fire that night over a case of genesee cream ale beer. Went to class the next day and guess what ? She had to pass the entire class because she had no grades for the entire school year, boy was she pissed. Nothing else was takin just her score book. Great memories and great times too bad computers mucked that kinda stealth mission up in the future. Hahahahaha. She was pissed. The principal was pissed at her for screwing up all the kids that needed their exact grades for future college. Wonderful memory.

It's coming back a bit, lad. Was at the uni pool last week and saw more than one high waisted thong worn by 18-20 year old girls. I was equal parts confused, surprised, and horny.

Yes and no. There were styles back then and tiers, but demographics were very different. You had rich parts of town, but they were small, and middle class styles were pretty easy to replicate. Now you have Cardinal Cities, and legions of poseurs in lesser cities aping them. Middle class retailers are all but dead, and you have luxury and poverty proliferating.

>>74914689
everything went to shit because kids who grew up in the 80s started having kids.
America has been going to shit since the 60s
The ongoing Satanic Panic through the last 4 decades has created so many fedoras. The news and media was completely lit up with all these trends that were trying to corrupt children, producing the forbidden fruit effect by the amplification of rebellion, and cementing it into fate through the power of self-fulfilling prophecy.

Countless examples of this shit scattered throughout my memory, but only bits and pieces of what I was supposed to be learning from it.
>>74927430
I was a teenager in the '90's. I couldn't have imagined the world the way that it is today. We had the Berlin Wall fall, the Soviet Union dissolve, and the world was our oyster. Shit was supposed to turn in to a Utopia.

Face it. You lose. America did not change suddenly after 9/11, the gradual decline continued as usual and was finally executed in 2008.
>>74927898
I remember that. Flags were everywhere and people slowly lost interest thinking about it, that resolve didn't die, it just faded away.
Damn, you made me sad because in my mind it hadn't gone away.
Also, the USA, USA, chant didn't exist prior to that era.
I think you retards need to go outside and find a way to enjoy yourself in the realworld.
Protip every fucking generation felt like they were living during the end of the world and everything was going to shit and the last decade was awesome.
Every time period has its ups and downs things change. Deal with it or die because thats what you're setting yourselves up for by dwelling on the past and thinking everything to come is shit. Theres always shit. If you dont like SJW people then dont associate with them, dont like gays you dont have to socialize with them, dont go to university unless you want to do a hard science and think you can excel.
What the 90s had what was awesome is the culture was very random and felt like it had little in rules. It kinda just did what it wanted and no one gave a shit I think 99% of people hate how PC everything is now but they are too pussy to say or do anything about it.
Current society we have the advantage of really awesome tech but the gov't can watch us with it and you cant really run your mouth on social media sites because employers watch that shit.I would say we are sort of living in a mixture of 1984 and brave new world where people are for the most part are distracted focused on materialistic pursuits and the narcissism produced by shit like selfies streaming and youtube but at the same time you cant really say or do what you want because anything thats put on the web is permanent and can get you labeled.
The people on /Pol/ are highly negative and only see the bad where there has been a lot of good brought out the only thing you can really do is either ignore what you dislike or try to unite against it using the same tools as your enemies but you guys just like to bitch and circle jerk on a japanse weeb forum because you're cowards not leaders.
Exceptions go to the amazing trolls who brought about Hitler did nothing wrong, meme magic and revealed pedos/animal abusers etc.

You don't fucking get it, do you? We had plenty of good things in the 90s and they were taken from us.
Every generation think they're living in the end of the world? Wow, what could that trend point out? That we're going to shit?
New ways of life are being imposed on people and new things appear to tame the new generations. The elites force you to put up with more shit every year it passes and the old generations have to accumulate the baggage the same way that the coming generation thinks that everything is cool now and they'll protest like we do now when everything goes deeper into the shithole.

>TFW they will never bring Nintendo Power to school to help someone with a game you don't have.
>TFW they will never beg their parent's for an extra 2MB of RAM so they can play Doom.
>TFW they will never experience the Internet as an elite club for people smart enough to figure out how to get there.
I miss music videos.

Life in the 90s was innocent for children. Growing up most of us never understood adult things outside of sarcasm and irony. I played out every single day until basically sunset, running, climbing, everyone played sports including the girls.
We had catchphrases and sayings, we talked about last night's episode of the Simpsons or Seinfeld (but Seinfeld was something your older brother watched and you only liked Kramer because of his flailing and George because he seemed pathetic).
Most of us discovered masturbation from bra magazines or finding our dad's porn stash under his bed. We snuck a sip of beer at a party when no adult was watching and we felt out first tits and fingered our first pussies as a right of passage, with one of the three slutty girls in school older than us, behind the bike sheds or the bushes near the oval.
Computers were still rare and toys for the richer kids. You would play multiplayer hot seat on the same keyboard with your friend controlling the arrows and numpad and you controlling wasd and left shift, ctrl, alt. The third friend would be jammed in a chair behind you trying to get a closer look at the screen.
Then the internet came. We turned away from romancing girls and were completely engrossed and absorbed by beautiful pictures then video. But sex was not enough. Then came violence, death, horror, perversions so disgusting that they spread like a whisper, swap.avi, somethingawful, 4chan.
The children with controlled internet access and concerned religious parents looked at computers and thought- geewhiz what a great tool to do my homework on. The rest of us saw that the world was a burning pile of shit and we all gleefully added fuel.
We stopped playing outside. We stopped kissing cute girls and started asking them to kiss our dicks. We stopped thinking there was anything good to fight for or believe in.
Kiss my ass. Fuck you. Bullshit.
And you, you sad and hopeless generations that never had life before, you are lost.

>TFW they will never waste 3 months allowance on a fucking power glove.
>They will never learn the secret to level warping in a fucking movie

>90's arcades where still packed.
Nope, once super nintendo had street fighter and mortal combat the arcades declined like hell. Arcade heyday was the 80's, sorry you weren't born yet.

Goddamit Ausbro, you fucking hit the nail on the head.
Except WASD didn't happen until Descent. that was 1994ish.
One of the things I remember most about back then was when it was summertime and my Mom told me to go play outside. No worries about anything else, we were in a safe area. Just go play outside.
I was out there for 10 fucking minutes and we were dying of the heat. It must have been 25-27 degrees out there (Celsius). We bitched like crazy to come in to the A/C, and got told to fuck off.
I look at my asshole kids right now, and they whine and bitch nonstop. It's too hot, it's too cold, etc. I know it's a stupid thing to discuss, but my kids are so much whinier than I remember being.
Shitty parenting, maybe, but I do try to keep them in their place (not to the point that the anon up the thread experienced). It's more that society as a whole fully supports all their whining, and that me trying to tell them to deal with it is not socially acceptable.
How is it down under, I wonder?
