Is it just me or...

...was growing up in the 90s a lot better than how it looks like it would be today? Although I bet every generation that has ever existed save for a couple has said that.

Looking back as I'm older now, I think the times were chiller with Clinton as pres.
The 90's seemed to have some originality with the movies though.

I prefer the 90's as well. I often wonder what it's going to be like 30 or so years from now

Just the first little stretch is incorrect.

I would have liked to been a few years older during as well. Not sure if I would say the same about the 80s.

fuckkkkkkk the 80's. Not that i lived through it, but that just seemed like a shitty time. 60's 70's and 90's are where it's at.

Holy jesus, I almost knocked over my computer desk just now
anyways..
you guys and your nostalgia
Right now is the best damn time ever! I've got medical marijuana, I'm growing a bunch of kickass weed! and so are so many people! it's great I can order plants and things off the internet and make/extract my ownpsychedelics (huge advantage over the 90's), technology kicks ass right now and is only getting better (can't wait for good 3d porn ), scientists are making huge leaps in quantum physics/mechanics; understanding the universe like never before, unless you count the ancient esoteric schools that, 1000's of years ago, knew everything that is being revealed by modern science but not being accepted because of the syntax used to explain it.
BUT, the environment is taking a shit on itself with food we're feeding it (oil spill, HAARP, chemtrails, nuclear radiation from negligently designed power plants etc), apathy is at an all-time high, the government is run by corporations and always fucks the little guy in the ass without the common decency to give us a reach-around! The quality of drinking water is plummeting, the nation is so far in debt and keeps spending, and borrowing, there is no way it will ever be paid off, enticing the federal reserve to print more money to deflate the value of our currency and keep the wealth for themselves, same thing is happening in europe with the worldbank; greece etc. ie. china will own every american asset soon, blah blah blah blah...
The 90's weren't better, just different styles.
It's like 1984 (the book. it's subject matter was observable long before the year it was named after), news speak, talking heads (as in political figures, also a great band btw), elitism, fascism, capitalism, communism, all-the-ways-to-oppress-personal-freedom-and-growth-of-the-human-psyche-isms.
This bad-shit has been around a long time and the decade before you lost your innocence surly contained much of this bad-shit.
I think to get a really good decade, you'd have to go back to... lets say, the ummmm.... well.... shit has always been really shitty, we've been oppressed by people who can trick others into not developing their selves, their psychology into something better than the shit of society, which is why society is always so shitty.
Develop yourself, I guess is what I'm saying. without that you will always be remembering the better times of yesteryear while you waste the best time right now.
p.s. with few exceptions, popular music has always sucked

I heard on Dazed and Confused the girl with the red hair mentioning how its a cyclical thing. Every 10 years is fun. I wasn't alive in the 80s, so I don't know shit about it, but I'm feeling that theory.
I loved the 90's, and its 2011 right now, and suddenly cartoons are getting better (IMO anyway). Its just starting, but I'm hoping its a new trend. Maybe there'll be a new music trend that I like too.
I can only hope I guess haha.

oh dude, popular culture is very cyclical.
I was born in the mid 80's so I don't remember much. in the 90's I remember that the 60's and more so the 70's were popular, the clothes, the music. 2000-2010 the 80's were popular, new wave revival in music, neon spandex and oversize ripped sweaters etc. Now notice all the flannel in popular dress, the 90's are once again popular, or will be for the next few years.

Cartoons really are getting better as of recently, and i have a feeling music will be getting better also. For music cage the elephant, odd future, dirty heads come to mind. Adventure time is all that comes to mind in cartoons at the moment.
