[quote=Anonymous]Basically, the 90s for me was high school and undergraduate college, and then starting out completely on my own. It's easy to look back and see it as a time of enormous optimism and potential. But I wrote a lot, and when I read things I wrote from the time, I remember the reality instead of the nostalgia. I also think whether the 90s was a good time for you or not depends on stage of life. My father had a horrible time in the 90s. It was marked by frequent layoffs and potential strikes. It's pretty much when the industry he worked for was in sharp decline, and there were no bailouts or other government intervention to save the industry. This thread sounds like my generation's version of the Baby Boomers pining for the 60s. It's kind of ridiculous, especially when people can't seem to realize that it's the stage of life they were in that was great, not necessarily that that decade was so fantastic. [/quote]
