Shoot me.
Yeah, but you're comparing real, actual 90s fashion to nowadays hipster bullshit fashion - real, actual non-artisan-lightbulb-consuming people don't really dress that way, now.

There was less dependence on social media and technology. Political correctness wasn't so vast and people weren't getting so butthurt that they had to sue everyone.

basically if you didn't grow up in the 90's your argument is invalid and have no say in anything.

Yeah, the 90s were like the height of that, took a nosedive around 9/11, only making a resurgence now.

90's technology:
- VHS exists for 20 years. Make practically no improvements on it whatsoever besides SVHS which will never reach consumers and be deemed obsolete almost as fast as it was invented.
- Magic the Gathering
- The Florida Marlins
2012 technology:
- worthless large hadron collider
- pointless 1920 x 1080 HDTV that doesn't even get Hey Dude
- cures for once fatal diseases but you have to take like... mad pills
Advantage 90's

they have the old school games organized by the manufacturer, there's a pinball isle, and nintendo, atari, sega, etc. Plus I went there in the winter so there was NOONE else there, I felt like I had finally caught up to my childhood dreams.

I remember the 70's as a kid. Looking back on it, it was funny as hell and kind of fun. I remember the 80's big time. Good drugs, good friends, etc. Fuck these days. The 90's were meh for everything.

y'all bitchez suffer from selective memory, rose tinted glasses, and the inability to re-map your perceptions of shit to see the awesomeness of now.
i loved the 90s too, but as an experiment i'm gonna rip the 90s and support now:
90s:
- no free music or movies from the internet
- limp bizkit, nu-metal
- spice girls
- nsync
- JNCOs
- basement screamo
- apex of vegan sXe hare krishna, etc. HC douches
- a gazillion bands like Kreator, Napalm Death, etc. all "updated" their sound and it was horrendous
- towards the end of the 90s, ex-hardcore kids playing in really cut-rate melodic swedish death metal bands
- ska/punk
THIS DECADE (or at least really recently)
- stuff like maryland deathfest, people finally into decent quality underground shit again (i.e. i can find people wearing, say, a Repulsion shirts or a "Scum" shirt or a Master t-shirt, try doing that at an underground show in the 1990s, it was all like fucking Cannibal Corpse or Suffocation t-shirts or if it was a more DIY kinda show it was whichever bands came through the most)
- blog upon blog upon blog to find underground shit
- access to underground music is completely democratized, there are no more barriers to exploring whatever tangent you want
- basically, the internet is amazing.... a lot of memes are the funniest shit to happen in a while... free movies, free info, you can learn anything
- computers are cheap as fukkkk
- traveling is easy as fukkkkk
- recording studio gear (i.e. software) is really accessible and cheap compared to back then
-----
gotta stay positive, fags!

Doesn't that happen more or less every decade or so?
