For those of you who were adults in the early 90s how was life like in 1990-1994 ?
Nowadays everything is trashy and mediocre.People have no class now,there's social media stars and fashion nowadays is sh!t.I can only imagine I’m so mad I grew up in the 2000s I could cry. I would have love to have been an adult during 2004 on back into the 1960s
2006 was the last great year. 2007 is when everything turned to sh!t. I was five in 2006 and i remember playing outside every day after school.I’m guessing that it was a lot like the early to mid 2000’s. Thankfully I got to live in that era as a 94 baby. The food was better, music was better, most fashion was better and it wasn’t all this wokeness and heavy topics going on.
i agrée Fashion and music is wack now. i wasn’t an adult in the 90s but like, still agree.Nowadays everything is trashy and mediocre.People have no class now,there's social media stars and fashion nowadays is sh!t.
Yes, 1990s high school was like the saved by the bell show. At least mine was. It was great time to be a teenager and a adult. No one knew your business and people were better back then.I wish I was in high school in the 90s
THIS poetically expressed you should write a book, I'd read itThe early 90s were FUN! The music, the weed at the healthfood store, sneaking into Marcy pool every Sunday night, riding bikes from the sty to flatbush..yea we had crack but even then, you had fiends that would boost the world. Things happened but there was a certain unity.
I can't explain thoroughly enough. NWA(their music was the catalyst) changed the music from positive like Native Tongues, Queen Latifah respect for Woman and the consciousness of say Digable Planets and dancing a la Kid & Play, to N.W.A/B.W.P.(b!tches Wit Problems) gang shyt, east vs west, etc. It became less about the wordplay and more about who could get the best old school (60s/70s) samples.
The sun felt different, the air smelled sweeter, we related to each other on more personal levels. And most importantly, there wasn't any internet to dumb us down, make us feel bad about ourselves, do things for likes or make us do anything for "the bag" or coins. We were much more creative because we didn't spend the day lookin down at our phones & actually had to come up with things to keep ourselves entertained and busy.
I think most generations see the era before as something they missed. For a time I listened to jazz and big band music because it made me feel apart of a time I revered which was the 20s. That time in particular because of the Harlem Renaissance, black ppl were thriving, apart from and without needing others.
Thanks for letting me ramble on with my nostalgia lol
