I do be missin times like these. I know part of it is just getting older and nostalgic and all that, but life did feel much simpler in the 90s.

Well, in my country people think it was better in the 90s when watching such vids showing positive stuff but what they don’t remember is poor healthcare, crime, unemployment, dirt, lack of goods, poverty etc. People alway think it was better before, but this is childhood that is simple and careless (mostly) not the times.

it sucked, you only got to watch a movie at a conema once a month. IF you were lucky.
You couldn’t watch your favourite tv program because someone else was usually watching something. Then when VHS came along, others were always using it.
On the rare times you caught your fav show, you’d have missed a few episodes and had to try to guess what had happened because there was no way to go and watch it.
You had no idea what was going on in the world, because you rarely saw a newspaper or tv news.
Most people were fucking poor and struggling. Some parents often went without food to feed their kids. The 90’s fucking sucked

Oh no. If you had a good family, life was great. If you had a bad one, you had zero idea that life could be better. Nowadays, if your family sucks, you have models you can find to show you the way life can be.
I do not long for those days.

People need to stop living in the past. I was born in the 80s and yes things I do miss but the way technology has made life easier is such a wonderful thing.
For example on a train journey I booked with my phone, my ticket was there with me, my seat reservation and platform information. The journey got delayed so much due to major signalling fault that instead of arriving in London at 8pm it was past midnight and the tube and train for onward travel had all ended for the day.
So whilst sat on my train going nowhere I booked a hotel room for the night using the internet on my phone before they got fully booked. The friends I were supposed to be meeting were all kept informed and were able to get home rather than wait for my later train and be stranded.
Growing up when I did was cool and fun but it’s no better or worse than today. Community still exists, playing out still exists, you don’t have to be terminally online and scared to leave the house.

It’s interesting that this video is made with footage of what looks to be of Russian origin, but the caption is clearly targeted at the Western audience.

This year, in Portugal and Spain there was a severe major power outage that lasted for a day.
Everything was down or powered by batteries or generators (radio went down after a while).
I went home from work without news of what was happening, only rumors that it was happening to the whole Europe. It felt so different. No technology for a day. It was calming and I felt disconnected, even phone service went down (no calls, messages, or internet).
It was surreal, and in a way a message to not get too dependent on tech. And most probably already forgot that day.

Bruh, it’s all relative.
My grandfather remembered a time before cars.
My father remembered a time before TVs.
Nostalgia is nice and all, but don’t let it cloud perspective.

The generation that “came home when the street lights came on” is now reporting other parents to social services if they let their kids walk home from school.

And the generation before had a similar transition with television.
>They grew up in a world that doesn’t exist any more.
>They remember when Saturday mornings were for playing outside, not sitting in front of the TV.
>When happiness came from listening to the radio, not mixtapes.
>Here’s what makes that generation different. They were the bridge. The last to know life without “technology” and the first to grow up adapting to it.

Pretty sure we had technology in the 80s and 90s, too, lol. Also, I grew up in a town full of gangs, drugs, weapons, and slaves crossing the border in both directions. There was a dude with a fucking automatic weapon sitting on his porch most days across from the Jr. High. We had 11 year olds getting pregnant, )statutory rape, full stop, can’t truly give informed consent at that age,) usually the victims of fully adult men. Murder was common. Shootings and gang jump-ins were common. There were jump-ins at the Jr High. One time, in the 6th grade, like 100 kids rolled through the school, many younger than we were, a good number of them armed. All the classes had to lock the doors and hide. Gay people were badly bashed, sometimes killed.
The schmutz in this video sure the fuck wasn’t my childhood.
This is disgusting. Fake nostalgia laid over super emo music, gtfo

Look at Gen X getting snubbed here. Everything here happened to people born from the late 60s to the 80s. Including people born mid to late 90s is a stretch.
This clip’s whole everything began with people who were born into the beginning of the end of analog as digital began its move into daily lives.

Gen X was the last generation of the old world.
