What were the 90s like?

video games, computers, cell phones and the internet were far more exciting

well, we thought Ocarina of Time and FF7 were peak 3D.
there was also McPizza

IMHO the biggest difference is just the normalcy of the internet, it being used as social media is harmful for child development. don't give a fuck what anyone says

>What were the 90s like?
Like a never ending Nine Inch Nails concert.

this. we're oversaturated now. it's all boring and routine. First time I saw Super Mario Bros on an NES I about pissed myself in excitement.

There was a moment around 92 where Nirvana and Pearl Jam and maybe Soundgarden made most of bands that had been popular immediately seem irrelevant.

After that moment the youthful side of pop culture split into two branches - one with the grunge bands and the other with Doctor Dre and The Chronic.

like the 80's but later

I was born in the 80s and mainly grew up in the 90s. My friends and I were always outside. Played a shit load of sports and all kinds of physical outdoor activities from the morning all the way into the night. Only making a pitstop at home to eat lunch or dinner then running back outside.

da bomb. I miss 'em

music was better

Was born in 96 but everything entertainment wise just had a different vibe to it than the vibe now

1990-2001 was probably the peak of Western quality of life. The last spurt of easy growth from the integration of the former USSR into the world economy, breakdown of Cold War tensions, and a general sense of it being okay to coast along from here on out.

There were recessions/downturns like there always are, but aside from the last sputters of industry finally dying out, people generally just thought things were going to start gradually morphing into Star Trek as technology improved.

remember when DJ on Roseanne has a SNES before it released?

Early 80s was the best times for everything.
Nobody cared about race, tv and the media weren't pushing any race ageedas and interracial bullshit. The economy was doing well, everybody minded their own goddamn business. I remember everybody had get togethers or parties all the time because nobody spent all their time on phones or video games. It was pretty great. Cars were mostly ugly though. And fashion was shit. If I had gone to school with the girls looking like they do now i would have had a permanent erection.

Pretty good. Travelled to Canada in 91 and lost my virginity with the 14 year old girl who lived next door to my aunt. A mere 6 years later I'd meet the woman who I'd eventually marry, and have been married to for 18 years

They were...diverse. You know early 90's were different to late 90's.

Early 90's - drugs, rave parties, great non-popular electronic music, youths were more "genuine". It was still kinda normal and expected to get married before hitting 25. At the same time it was also accepted by society to get divorced soon as well. Popular still rock music. Cable TV, boxy cars, first Iraq war, fall of communism, Balkan wars, telephone booths, no internet.

Middle 90's - gold era of post-modernism, pink and blue colors, strange and great movies, electronic music goes popular and gets shit. Rock music fades away, still no internet, more computers, more young people realize that they cannoz really have the same youth and start of the life as boomers. Another alternative cultures like goth etc emerge. Cable TV even more popular, stupid shows like Simpsons and Friends are very popular.

Late 90's - cell phones, more electronics and digitalization of life, less privacy. First nerds get to have internets, computer games and playstation are everywhere, kids generation is raised by them. Electronic music shifts to trance music. Emerge of the culture we call today "edgy" like you know spiky haircuts and sport sunglasses. Stupid american teenager movies. American punkrock is also popular. And most of all, the popular music discovers hiphop and RnB which will be a big thing in next 5-10 years.
Postmodern art develops from pink colour to more dark-bluish. Shiny materials. Amazement by technology. Dystopia movies and scifis like Matrix are made, people for the first time get to be connected online by cellphones and internets and share the conspiration theories and stuff.

Generally, 90s lifes in 90s were in many ways same but also different, because there were still some social norms from earlier generations, less technology, especially the lack of online communication and sharing of random knowledge in real time. There were less threats for "ordinary" people. Smoking was cool.
