The 90's, what do you miss?

[Captain_Caveman]

NIRVANA

when hanging out at the mall was actually fun

smoking weed on the weekends

POGS (lol really)

renting VHS movies

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

When Saturday morning cartoons were actually good.
That, and not having a care in the world about school. Lousy exams, ruining my social life >.>

There's not much I miss really. This decade isn't as good, but we've seen massive leaps in technology. I can now stream anything I want to my laptop. The days of watching the same movies every day out of sheer boredom are GONE.

 

[Beartrucci]

The awesome music.

RIP good music - 2004

So it finally died in 2004? What was the final nail in the coffin?

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

The fact that video games of the same genre were different in play style and feel.

Today it just feels that every action game is just a slight variation of the Gears of War/Resident Evil 4 or GTA4 gaming engine. They just replace the enviroments and monsters a little. I mean, is the over-the-shoulder angle the future of all action games? Is this how they will all sooner or later end up?

What do I miss about the 90's? WORKING!!! MAKING $$$$!! I've been unemployed & looking for work nearly 2 years now! I worked every single day Clinton was president! When I voted for Obama, I was unemployed & couldn't find work & nearly 1 year later, it's still true! The 90's economy was so good that in January 1996 the company I worked for actually had mandatory overtime! The rest of the year, I could work all the overtime I wanted! Bring back the time!

My Childhood.

I miss my old house in Scotland.

Kanye West and Lil Wayne were the final nails in the coffin.

Then Alice in Chains came in with a crowbar and ripped the coffin open, and revived it!

I belive this was the pinnacle of the 90's

 

[-Orgasmatron-]

Awwwww, here it goes!

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

The Y2K

 

[un533n]

I miss being a young, intelligent, ignorant, elementary school student. I miss not having the unending desire for a woman in my life. I miss my cheap amusements. I miss Samurai Jack at 9 before I went to sleep. I miss Runescape.

You wanna know what I don't miss? Being confused and broke all the time.

Pete Holmes does a good impression of what being a child is like. Pretty spot on.

 

[dstryfe]

Good Television, good movies, and good games.

Amen. I'd add all that 90's music to the list. Ah, the good ol' days...

 

[initialdelay]

The music

The fashion

The tamagotchis

The sarcasm

 

[Jon Etheridge]

People's sense of humor and plaid over-shirts.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Oh man, Furby of course! /sarcasm

My Furby became ... evil ... It began to speak in tongues and even after I removed the batteries, it would still talk. It freaked the hell out of me so ... I skinned it and used the Furby-Pelt as a morbid hand-puppet

it was pretty fun ^^

but as for the 90's, I miss Comedy Central playing SNL. I HATE MadTV >.<
I also miss SNES-RPGs, Beavis and Butt-Head, early episodes of The Simpsons, movies by Chris Farley ... being a kid ...

 

[SnowCold]

Being able and incourged to shit in my pants.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Good cartoons like Johnny Bravo and Dexter's Lab. That was before parents started relying on cartoons to do their jobs and things like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came into existence. Nowadays kids are stuck watching educational crap for little kids.

I also miss Sonic having good games, and Mel Brooks movies as well (though if he made a new movie politically correct idiots would bounce all over it, imagine the controversy Blazing Saddles would be knee-deep in if it were released last year).
