[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The music was wayyyyy better. From rap, to hip hop, to hard rock, to alternative. Music was just so damn good. Everything today is just really bad rap/pop. Rock and alternative are essentially dead. Hip hop is no where near as good as the 90s.

Movies were also fantastic. Tons and tons of great movies from the 90s. That goes for shows as well.

The 90s were also mostly peaceful throughout the world. It was also a very prosperous time. [/quote]

No it wasn’t peaceful throughout the world? Maybe you didn’t hear of anything since news wasn’t 24/7 but plenty of bombings and killings.

Tv shows were worried about being PC. The whole cancel culture has ruined humor.

Right? Rwanda, Mogadishu, Gulf War, Bosnian War... some of you must have been very young in the 90s to not remember any of these events.[/quote]

Oh please. There is NEVER a perfect decade in history without violence and war in the world. You need to do a comparison.  Compare those events to the decades prior when the Cold War was at its peak and you had to have school kids learning how to try to survive a nuclear blast. The decades prior had even worse genocides than Rwanda like under Pol Pot, Mao, and Stalin.  The Vietnam War was worse than the Gulf War and the Bosnian War. I mean maybe you could argue that the 80s had less serious wars in which the US was directly involved in, but the music was so bad, AIDS was rampant, and you still had the Cold War going on. During the 90s, you just never worried about being nuked by Russia anymore like all of the decades prior because the nuclear treaties between the US and Russia to deescalate were in full swing. Then the 2000s rolls around and you have 9/11, a 20 year war in Afghanistan, a never ending war on terror, Putin takes complete control and reignited the Cold War, and China starts invading the South China Sea while losing as a serious challenge to US hegemony.
