Anyone Miss The 90's

[djdrastic]

Does anyone here miss the 90's ? I kinda miss the optimism we had about how technology would enrich our lives . I miss the sitcoms , the music , heck even some of the fashion .


Ah well
My Rants over
BTW I'm 22
Been working fulltime for the last 3 or so years

 

[nageov3t]

I miss the signing bonuses

and the spice girls

 

[djdrastic]

Ah spice girls , they always had some nice pics you could knock off to sigh ...

 

[n0cmonkey]

The 90's were the best.

 

[BespinReactorShaft]

My childhood was back in the 80s, though I cannot honestly say I missed that era. As for the 90s I kinda miss the grunge explosion and the distinct lack of rich sh1tty pop artistes who are younger than I am.

 

[djdrastic]

Well my childhood essentially was like very late eighties and early nineties

What I really miss is how everyone was eager to experiment with anything , be it cars [anyone remember the cars that used to come onto the Paris Motorshow stands? ] , technology , music [ the late 80's/early 90's techno / handbag house ] gave birth to Trance / Dance etc .

I really miss the optimism we had about the future 10 years ago , hell all we do know is worry if some insane suicide bomber is gonna f*ckin fly into you and try and kill a bunch of innocent people , or whether some of your buddies will return from IRAQ .


Sorry , just feeling a little emotional

I missed the 90's best time of my life spent during that time. then came '98 when i came to america, lost all my friends, my home, everything. My life took a nose dive it was like driving 100mph then hitting a concrete wall and i became depressed for 3 years. Im back on my feet again but moving very slowly much better person and meeting new people

man, I think you need to have a beer. You're going through the same nostalgia peopel have gone through for centuries and will in the future. I'm not sure what this optimism is that everyone had that they no longer have. Suicide bombers? You're basically a worrywort if you worry about dying from terrorist attack in the US (less people have died in the US in the past decade from terrorist attacks than those who shat themselves to death on the crapper). Iraq? In the past 18 months 1/300,000 Americans have died in Iraq. iMO historically speaking it's a pretty good time to be alive.

A few years ago we would have laughed at foreign terrorists threatening to attack the US on US soil.

So what? The world changes. It's comical that so many people would actually live in fear in the US about dying from terrorist attack, all the while millions of people die regularly from _truly preventable_ ailments like heart disease. Before the terrorists there was the cold war, and before that communism. Every generation has something to find fear in. Including 9/11 and all the time since about 1/100,000 Americans have died from terrorist attacks in the US.

I should add that it was only the short-sighted masses who would have not thought it possible. An attack had happened before in the US, and attacks outside of the US. Even movies had terrorist attacks occuring in the US. The only difference is that now a large one has taken place, but it's always been a threat whether most people (who can't even find the middle east on a map) knew that or not.

 

[Eli]

Hmm.. No.

 

[Liviathan]

I miss 95 to 99.

 

[Mucho]

The only I missed about the 90's is then I was making more money than I am now!

 

[tallest1]

I remember watching C-Net Central and Beyond 2000 religiously. Oh man, those shows made me so excited when I was a kid

 

[rh71]

After having to work full-time and realizing you lost your "childhood freedom", of course you're going to have that feeling. Early 20s is not getting old. Reaching late 20s is.

 

[Schadenfroh]

the money is what i miss, the culture sucked

I guess your partly right , it is probably more a feeling of not having a real campus / student life . To all of the other guys I can kinda relate the salary thing . I've only been working since the noughties so I dont know too much of rolling in the dollars

 

[Rudee]

I miss the 70s.

 

[Pliablemoose]

60's

 

[NuclearNed]

The original post was a rant???!!!?!!??!? The OP needs some practice - please contact ShinerBurke.

The 90's were a great time, but so were the 80's and the 70's. Right now is the best time of my life, and as the years go on it only gets better. Some of you people need to get a healthy dose of "positive outlook".

I don't personally worry about it, but I don't think it's silly that some people do.
