No. They aren't saying what the 90s was, and most people who try have a hard time, but anyone can see that they are better than today, just like the 80s were better than the 90s, the 70s better than the 80s, and so on. The limited scope of the people making the observation is irrelevant. They can still see a gradient across what small scope they have experienced. Maybe this is just a nostalgia thing. One thing for sure is that many people don't think the past was ever better than the present. These are people so drunk on all the amazing technology that they haven't notice the death of American culture. Such people aren't intellectual enough to even appreciate culture, and on top of that they were raised on propaganda mottos like "America has no culture". The fact is that it's difficult to identify your own culture because you are so close to it. It's not really until you have some life experience, or until you've visited other cultures that you can really put your finger on the essence of your own culture (It's like how you can't smell yourself). This is why it was so easy to brainwash generation after generation of children into the self-hating communist cult of "America has no culture [therefore we aren't actually destroying anything]".
It's interesting how Gen y's/Gen x's glorify the 1990s today...
wisdom is in old books. new books can only parody and rehash
fair enough but do you want to side with the people history elimnated, or the people that survived?
>the 90s were a more greedy, selfish, less cultured time
Disagree....we just wanted to be left alone. A very American notion historically. However, due to globalist reasons, we got involved in a train wreck....
...Old books discuss current events? Old books talk about the ramifications of COVID-19's spread, or automation, or Biden vs. Sanders? Which ones?
I actually have no clue what the fuck you're talking about, but you certainly sound retarded.
no, the trend has gotten worse. dont get me wrong the 90s were lame and killed heavy metal and shit, but still so far preferable to what has commenced since then its not even funny
Gen X dominated youth culture in the 1990s and they're jaded because they are completely dwarfed as a cohort by the Boomers. Literally nothing they could do would make a difference against the Boomers policy. As a result they turned to joking about it/ resigning to their inability to change things.
Not sure I understand your point. What do you mean by 'History eliminated'?
I'm just saying that the publishing industry today is mega-cucked. Practically every genre is overrun with SJWs and women. Editorial boards and editing houses are basically 100% female POC at this point. There are virtually no good books being published today. Something like LOTR would never make it past the editor's desk today, because it doesn't have any positive black characters.
Hence, I come to Yas Forums.
