I think you want to ask what was it like with dialup
People were patient.

what was the obsession with plaid?
Ever try fapping to pictures of softcore low quality jpegs? That was what the 90's were like.

>>768749429
We didn't have loot boxes
Multiplayer meant more than one controller.
56k dialup was the shit
Intenet porn required patience to download
The Smut Shack was the place to go for some virtual.
TVs were still giant boxes.
Stereo systems were still a thing
Brooke Burke was amazing.
>>768749977
I remember my brother printing out shit quality pics of Jenny McCarthy nude. We used a stupid 10 free hour AOL trial. THOSE WERE THE DAYS, EH?

Juice grenades and ecto-cooler
>>768749429
Imported gaming goods were located in the back of gaming magazines and cost a fucking fortune to ship over, £80+ for a flask.
Gaming cheats and hints had its own hotline where you could call and charge your parents phone bill up the ass.
Big, bulky heavy as fuck TVs.
Transexuals looked like men.
The lack of smart phones meant that people HAD to communicate.
Playing DOS games with bleeps if you lacked a sound card.
>>768750064
>Jenny McCarthy
yesss and pam anderson was still hot back then, but as an ass man i enjoyed jenna von oy and j lo even more so
>>768749429
You couldnt be tracked or reached as easily.
You would carry around change, so you could make a call on a public phone later.
TV ruled popular culture more than at any point. By then music had been entirely changed to be sold through television.
People were still being educated on throwing trash everywhere. You have no idea how bad shit was and how acceptable it was to litter, the 90's was when a lot of initiatives to educate started seeing results.
You would listen to the radio.
The internet was for nerds and honestly was pretty useless except for conversation.
Arcades were still a thing. Big place where any adult would stand out, a children's casino. A gaming legend used to be a local phenomenon backed up only by a high score in the machine.
Weed really wasn't as strong.

Except there was that one time...
> when you visited your friend you left your bike out in the front yard. 3 hours later when you left to go home your bike was still there
> arranging to meet your friend at the mall meant making plans possibly days beforehand and sticking with them. If one of you didn't turn up you had to wait til school on Monday to find out where they were
> If someone beat you up, hassled or bullied you at school you just dealt with it yourself or got friends involved. Going to a teacher was seen as weak behaviour as it showed you were a coward.

I wonder if any of the young fags could even get a dos based game to work without someone holding their hand?

AOL disks. Filled more holes than Peter North.
Answering machines that took tapes.
You had to remember phone numbers, or write them down ON PAPER.
Cartoons before school, Fresh Prince & Simpsons after school.
>>768749755
>>768750279
University of Texas, Kent State and Columbine, anons. School shootings are older than people like to admit and as American as apple pie.
Airports didn't have security
>>768749866
Like anything that gets trendy, it was new.
>>768750391
Remember one of the commercials was them making fun of how many AOL discs they were sending out? A couple was raving about how they just got the new AOL disc in and said "Let's go put it in!" to each other and they walk over and put it on the wall with a bunch of other AOL discs they used to create a mural. Jerry Stiller was in it.
>>768750348
lost many nuts to U Turn in that doggystyle scene with j lo though not to mention the scenes of alyssa milano and jaime pressly in poison ivy
Online gaming was playing Everquest on the PS2 with a "lighting fast" DSL line so you wouldn't get too much lag.
>>768750403
The Disney Afternoon was my childhood after school.
It was still acceptable to beat your kids in public when they fucked up. Often other adults would come over to tell you off
> You need to listen to your mother
> Running on the road is dangerous
> She's only doing this because she cares for you
> You're doing a great job ma'am
>>768750513
Remember when commercials weren't every 5 mins and didn't last 3mins a piece and there was only like 3 breaks per show compared to the 10-15 per show now
>>768750521
Also the movie "Wild Things" was in my thoughts while fapping because of the lezzy scene.
>>768749429
90's were for young fags
>>768750291
>If someone beat you up, hassled or bullied you at school you just dealt with it yourself or got friends involved. Going to a teacher was seen as weak behaviour as it showed you were a coward.
Man the current generation just "leaves it alone." During my high school, if my friend group was getting into a fight, we were all down to back him even if we knew we couldn't fight for shit.
It's interesting to see how these generations change.
Tfw I first discovered tits, I used to print pictures and use all our ink because we were charged by the hour for our internet.
Whenever my mum would find the stash I printed she'd confiscate it :(. I used to colour in like cartoon drawn shit too. I got pretty fucking good at it too.
Games were sold only when completed - no realeases in beta or bloody DLCs.
Also, true EXPANSIONS.
Mobile phones were just becoming widespread - then the Nokia 3310 changed everything!
You could sleep with someone without rape accusations
HIV was the biggest scare of the decade I suppose
>>768750616
You assume I still watch TV. I cut that cord in years ago.
Full house, Sabrina the teenage witch, Price is right before drew, Reboot, Pokemon, Beavis and butthead, Roseanne, Friends, Fresh prince, The Simpsons, Ren and stimpy, Rugrats, etc.
Then the talk shows...
Sally JR, Maury Povich, Motel Williams, Jerry Springer, Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake, Oprah...
I think there were only 3 cooking shows made throughout the entire 90s, and no one watched them.
Also, if anyone took a picture of themselves it was seen as real bizarre, almost borderline mental behaviour.
>>768750672
Lol the snake days, then the newer gen phones with the brick breaker.
>>768750688
My fucking bitch of a sister always had Ricki Lake on after school and insisted on watching it while doing homework.
90's was like a whole body orgasm that just lasted and made your eyes rolled to the back of your head.
The best decade ever.
>>768750683
i rarely watch but it's part of my phone and internet package. imagine what those fucks are gonna do to the internet now with net neutrality repealed
Shitty
When everyone wasn't offended by everything.
/thread
>>768750708
Speak for yourself with cooking shows. Ready, steady, cook! was really popular in the UK. Ainsley is even a goddamn meme. We also had supermarket sweep.
Quiz shows and games of chance were super popular too. Price is right, higher or lower, countdown, who wants to be a millionaire, catchphrase, wheel of fortune.
Hypercolor shirts were big for a minute, but quickly died once people realized it just changed color where you sweat
Jams were all the rage
Every cool kid had to have his hair like John Connor from Terminator 2, usually paired with a denim jacket and plastic sunglasses
Every restaurant was filled with smoke.
There weren't theft scanners at every door, cameras were rare. Shoplifting was much easier.
Airbags were optional & every car came with cigarette lighters and tape decks.
>>768750785
I have no home phone either. Just internet and a cell phone.
>>768750688
lori loughlin is still fucking hot
>>768750801
>fuck those participation awards snowflakes
>>768750801
No kidding. Look at some of the humour in old shows - even shows like Friends. I miss being able to actually joke about things. I think it's one of the reasons stand up comedians make so much fucking money these days compared to 15-20yrs ago.
>>768750801
actually i remember some crazy PC shit going on during the late 90's that only got exponentially worst to where it's at now
Although rare, it was still possible to get to age 15 and have no idea what a vagina looked like. Porn supply was hit and miss, until '96 most people had never been online, and no girl ever dreamed of showing you a pic of her cunt. The thought would never have crossed her mind to take a picture of her pussy.
Literally no undesirable immigrants outside of cities. You can't imagine how good that was.
>>768749429
It was awesome. Last decade where kids stayed out late without fear of being kidnapped or murdered by the police. I remember having long summers filled with all sorts of adventures. I spent about half my time playing outside in nature and half my time playing SNES, N64, and later the Playstation in the mid-late 90s. I used to take walks in the forests, swim and camp at lakes, pan for gold in a stream down the road and at the bottom of a gulley. I mean, I could go on and on. I have a lot of fond memories of the 90s.
>>768750891
Watch old cartoons and the shit they got away with.
EVERy movie had an animal as the protagonist

That doesn't bring back any memories and that parasite isn't australian.
>>768751056
This
>>768750891
Yes. Back then imagine a sitcom where a boy dressed up like a girl (for whatever lulzy reason) and his parents making a joke about it being weird. The audience would laugh. Today, there would be boycotting.
>>768751056
When I was a kid, I didn't really care so I didn't watch the news.
>>768751056
I remember the tv signing off at night going to either fuzz after 30mins of colored barcode lines then at 6am they always played the national athem when they started to broadcast again, before I had cable
>>768749429
Awesome, especially the internet... Back before it was commercialized and $old to every fucking retard who couldn't wait to dump every last bit of personal information into it...
>>768751056
..unless you went to a pub or club that had CNN. Oh, I see your point. Carry on.
>>768751172
Holy mother of god I'd forgotten. Or infomercials until 6 am.

There was no net neutrality back then, you brain washed son. What was repealed was only written into law a few years ago.
>>768751069
If we could only keep the technology of today and go back to the 90s where people weren't so god damn high strung and so easily triggered.
>>768749755
>Clearly didn't go to school in the 90's...
>>768751215
america definitely was different then. there was still an overall feeling of national pride that no longer exist. If someone even put a flag on the ground back then they might of gotten beat up, if they burned it in protest probably worse
Restricted to watching tv shows when the free to air channels decide to air them.
Waiting a whole week to watch the next episode of a tv show
Having to actually go outside.
Getting touched by priests.
Expensive computers that are outdated within like a year of release
Good times.
Surprised nobodys said it yet.
N64, SNES, NES, GAMEBOY, SEGA....
>virtualboy.jpg
>>768751302
Net neutrality wasn't a big deal because internet didn't threaten the cable TV industry.
>>768750971
This is very true.
I think the 90s can be summed up as this transition period from sort of an older analog era where people still played outside and much technology was still very user focused (less automized, VHS players, cartridges, cassette tapes, etc.).
I remember a lot of my youth playing outside. There was a meadow behind my house that my sister and my friends used to sneak into and play in this abandoned house. No one gave a shit and we'd be out all night basically trespassing but it was all in good fun. Coming home on a warm summer night, watch the Lion King or some Disney movie. Having to rewind it. Going to birthday parties at Discovery Zone.
Good times.

That was late 90s. It was fucked when it happened, but 9/11 was the final nail in the coffin for any warm afterglow from the 90s.
>>768751476
>clearly a green text war going on here
The toys and cartoons were cool (not as good as the 80’s), the women were ugly as shit, niggers weren’t as irritating, there were a lot less libtards around, and nobody was confused about their gender.
>>768751476
Clearly a newfaggot pretending to be an old faggot.

you're reading the context wrong there buddy, I meant from the 90's til now what big corporations did to tv by making it overly filled advertizments til it got to the terrible point it's at now, give it 10 years and the big isp's will ruin the internet the same way, it will cost a lot more and they'll make it filled with nearly unavoidable ads.
Pissing off your parents because you needed to spend an hour or more on dial-up waiting for a 20 second clip of an episode of Dragonball Z to load that wasn't available in the United States
>>768751414
"Net Neutrality" was a solution for a problem that didn't exist...
Further, which nobody likes to talk about, is that nestled inside that law was a bunch of internal monitoring laws, giving the NSA/FBI/CIA/etc. more power to e-spy on American citizens.
It's a good thing it's gone, trust me...
>>768749429

Actually, school shootings have been happening since Charles Whitman in the 60's...
And even further back, there was a dynamite attack on a school in Bath, MI in the 1920's... Schools have always been a target, anon; many innocents congregate there, so it's a great target for a psychopath looking to gain recognition... Even better now that they're all defenseless target-rich havens...

wrong about the internet. you could download and hack games ever since way before 56k. you could also see porn but it was in 16 -32 colors or so and heavily pixelated. My brother had "internet" before it was called internet, in 93.
>>768751945
Yeah, and Everquest barely qualifies. That was in '99. Everquest on PS2 with DSL doesn't qualify at all.

Was born in 81, first 90s event that sticks in my mind was the gulf war and how awesome it was to watch on the news.
Things were a lot different before everyone had the internet, I remember the first time we used it in school, eventually got it myself in 98 and mainly used yahoo chat for meeting ppl online, email and porn.

Style was an interesting topic...no idea how to feel about most of it
Music was better than it is now, but was largely still iffy.
>>768752703
If the early 90s were boring it's because you were still too young. But it did get progressively better about mid decade.

For me, the 90s was this.
Started playing in ‘89, eventually opened a field in ‘95.
If I wasn’t playing paintball, I was running the field. Once we got big enough, and respected enough, and I had a great staff of workers I could trust, we (my team) started playing across the nation thanks to the field’s income.
Great fucking times. I wish the sport hadn’t really died out in my area when the economy crashed in 2005-2006, I closed the field some years after that, but I miss the game a lot.
Maybe I’ll open an airsoft field when I get tired of working for other people again.

Everyone says blockbuster when it came to renting movies but was my family the only one who used to rent from a small mom and pop type of place?
The one my family went to had new movies as well and also rented games.
I don't think my family started going to Blockbuster until late '99
>>768749429
It was awesome, OP !
The President had a brain! You might disagree with what he was doing, but he wasn't doing completely stupid shit and reversing his promises all the time!
It was possible to discuss politics with other Americans and not have them shut you down and insult you immediately. They didn't see politics as a team sport !
Microsoft were exposed as losers - they almost missed the boat on browsers and on Java. We came to understand that mere mortals could take them on and win !
Computers had several MEGA bytes of memory !
>>768749429
Music had soul again
Taco bell still tasted good
The internet had dial up or you connected to a BBS to talk to people
Windows 95 actually worked and people liked it
TV was magical and you would talk about it the next day at work
Trump was still an idiot but you didnt worry that people listened to him
Pogs were like spinners but didn't do anything
Video games could be played at home with arcade graphics
Girls would make out with each other and called it "a phase"
You had a two-way pagers which could send text messages
Book stores still existed and you could get coffee for under $1
You had to wear a tie for just every job
After work you would meet up with friends and talk to each other, in person
Vegas was trying to change into something family friendly
The movies were better, you would wait in line for tickets
Roadtrips were a thing and girls wanted to come with you on them.
The federal reserve was still corrupt, there was no bitcoin
You had to get a newspaper or booklet to look for a job or buy a used car

Oh yes napster I used to spend all day downloading about 8 - 12 songs with my 56k dial up with about 4k a second download speed and fast forward today with a 100mb connection if a song takes more than 1 second to download I start skitzing out that it`s too slow.

There were lots of computer magazines and they often had CD ROM discs on the front. That's how you got free software !
If I remember correctly Windows 95 came on about 35 floppy disks before it came on cd.

Mom used to own a video store in the 80s. I got to watch Hellraiser on VHS, also had to help work at the store on weekends at times.
I fucking hate shrink wrap now.

Also. I had cable internet.
Napster, kazaa? AOL discs up the ass.
Dragon ball gt on the tv not in english yet.
>>768749429
Cartoon channels actually showed a variety of cartoons instead of the same 3 shows all day, and none of that live action bullshit. Oh and mtv still actually played music. A ton of new video games created the base for a lot of now common genres. The internet was great for the time but dogshit compared to today. You could let your kids play throughout the neighborhood without fear of them getting kidnapped as long as you lived in a decent neighborhood. No sjw bullshit, or at least it wasn’t widespread and what little there was got ignored by most everyone. Muslims generally stayed in their own shit countries.
Nastolgia or not, the 90’s were better times.

We thought a "snuff video" was a secret, degenerate thing. We couldn't imagine watching people DIE for entertainment !
Then, of course, the war came along, and the military put their targeting camera clips on the news, and suddenly, without any discussion, we were all watching people die for our entertainment.

Not that guy... but in the late 90s, if you were teenage didn't have at least one pair of JNCOs (or maybe the off brand baggy shit if you were a poorfag), you must have been supreme nerd. By the end of the 90s, literally everyone was wearing them. It's like skinny legs, even in the generation they came from might only have a 50% adoption rate, JNCOs were worn by literally 95% of us. But most of us didn't wear the crazy *2 pentecostal skirts sewn together * sizes. Most of us were like 30 inch legs, which were still huge, but not like the 100 inch ones or the trip pants.

Pardon the rose colored glasses but...
The 90s were time of fierce optimism and looking forward to the future. This air of gloom, doom, depression; of a failing nation mired in debt with no end to war didn't exist. That came post 9/11
The 90s were like a slightly tamer 70s. There was a lot of exuberance and partying. Rock music was still the dominant music force rather than rap and all pop music was rock based. Music was epic. But I consider the 90s to be the dying gasps of rock music. Post 2000 it's became emasculated pop punk and emo shit, rock music got castrated and rap music or rap based pop dominates the radio/tv.
TVs were much more primitive and so were video games, but they were much better. I'll still maintain that the SNES was the greatest video game console ever.
There was a lot of youthful drinking, partying, and sex. And it astounds me how young guys just don't have sex anymore. There was a lot of pot and drinking but pot was *much* weaker. Mexican brick was the norm unless if you knew a guy who had a dope hookup and then you were paying through the roof for Chronic, which was the strongest shit at the time, but still only high mids compared to modern smoke strains.
We were a more colorful people, figuratively and literally. Look at Clarissa and Sam in OP's pic ffs. Bright colors were a thing, and more ostentatious personalities. Though by the mid 90s there was a major style shift and grunge based outfits, baggy jeans, and gothic shit became huge (though goths existed since the 80s, Marilyn Manson made that scene huge in the 90s).
We were the last generation of kids that mostly played outside.
The porn was rare and hard to come by. Me and my bro would steel magazines and videos from stores and sell them at enormous markup to our middle schools and highschools. Since most didn't have the internet, porn was more valuable than gold to a teenage male (we'd watch the scrambled channel for a chance at seeing nipple).

>>768749429
Simpler times, not just because i'm older but because you could walk into a game store, buy the first thing that took your attention and enjoy it even if it was shit.
Kids played outside and the only phones they had were walkie-talkies, we'd entertain ourselves mixing together household liquids and calling them "potions", we'd put on parades in the street because fuck it, why not?
Only the rich kids had Sky so the rest of us just made do with what we had and enjoyed ourselves.
We could go out and not have to worry about being felt up by a pedophile and the kids from pakistan could make jokes about them being chocolate bars and that they'd melt in the sun without causing a big fucking uproar.
Computers were shit, big hulking pieces of shit with a niche audience.
Todays world is fine, not great but fine, technology has made shit too easy and kids nowadays don't have a childhood because the parents are shit.
It's all shit really…
Everything is shit.
Nothing is good.
One thing I can say thought…
Sesame street was better in the 90's
>>768749429
Over half the school wore nfl jackets, cap and baggy jeans.
Hip Hop was good. R&B was great. Electronica was good. MDMA was good. You could still get real acid. Weed delivery services started.
absolutely horrible. everything was tacky, ironic and sucked ass. only thing awesome was the freedom from 3rd wave feminism & the lgbt nazis. everybody was normal. no faggots or traps, just gay people who kept to themselves.
>>768750499
new? are you high?
>>768749866
pretty much grunge became fashion. working class folks had been wearing plaid flannels for decades.
>>768749429
Same as now except no cell phones, no one knew how to use the internet, everyone watched TV, sugar wasn't that bad, and the media were less ideological/partisan.
>>768757120
We had pagers. School dealers would carry them.
>>768756945
Besides the faggots and all that what else didn't you like about the 90's? It's good to see another opinion from someone who didn't enjoy it.
And I don't mean like looking at what we have now and using it as a reference.
Example being SNES sucked because we have Ps4 now.
>>768757188
Yeah, rich kids and and drug dealers.

I remember it like it was yesterday. Hard times kiddos, not like you have it now with your endless supply of porn and social media. Going online without a cable was never sn option. And if someone in ur family picked up the phone to dial a number they disconnected you from whatever fucked up thing you were trying to find.

>>768749429
the 90s is kind of a play in 3 acts.
act 1. Very post-80s. Psychotic neon color becomes safe for conservative grownups to decorate stuff with, and they put it on everything. SUUPER wholesome. Everything was FullHouse or softer.
act 2. Counterculture became cool again. Hair metal bands fell to the wayside in favor of grungy goateed guys playing minimal post-metal music that became coined alternative/grunge. Earth tones and purples make a huge comeback. Goth gets sort of cool again but most people don't get it. Everyone can afford a computer now.
Act 3. Alternative edginess merges with mega-sterile big business during one of the biggest economic booms in American history. Shit gets simultaneously safer and more edgy. Music and movies in general become a soulless mash of bright colors, fish eye lenses, backup dancers and very, very bad CGI. Anything remotely shocking or poignant is doomed to financial ruin. Sex jokes are the gold standard all other humor is compared to. Videogames, however, start getting really interesting. Its cool for grownups to like them again. Everyone has a dotcom. Nerds are starting to tell their friends about the super-powerful search engine they found called Google.
fuck it was such a weird decade, man. In equal parts, I miss it and am so glad its long gone.
as some have pointed out:
you could go to a music shop, buy any random tape or CD by just looking at the cover, go home and listen to it and actually fucking enjoy it... that's how i got introduced to a lot of music.
some of my better random picks included pinkerton, sublime sublime, incubus' science, etc.
>>768757984
atrocity? wtf dummy? so our tax dollars should all go to building new buildings at colleges after the lib fags burn them down every few yearz when they get triggered?
comit arson get shot. dope.
>>768758173
yes, a police state where offenders are summarily executed. dope. very well put.
>>768752401
I remember it, never played it though. Was too busy with Doom and eventually Unreal.
>>768758058
oh, another thing is you would go to restaurants without any expectation or knowledge of what to expect. this was both good and bad. but mostly good since food is just fucking food.
taking a picture had more meaning since you only took a few each year.
and there was no GPS, so finding a place was a fucking nightmare. i think the only good thing that's happened since the 90s is the invention of GPS and advanced maps. the rest is shit today.
>>768749429

We have been wearing flannel since the 60's, its a Northwest thing.
Loggers, construction workers, anyone who works outside, to stay warm and not to heavy or bulky.
Grunge bands wore it because it was cheap at goodwill.
>>768758379
I'm white, and from Ohio, just like the kids at Kent State. I deserve a trial, just like everyone else. I have never owned or possessed a gun outside of a shooting range in my entire life. I do not deserve to be shot in public, under any circumstances. You are the one with an extremist, dystopian sentiment. There are plenty of countries with armed police, crime, and low fatality rates on both sides. Glad I live in one of those countries now. I fear the US is very near its demise.
>>768749429
You used to be able to pee out doors without being a sex offender
>>768758594
never knew he was from Seattle.
Dunno if it's a solely Northwest thing, though, bud. Pretty sure people who worked outside in the cold/wet months all over the country wore them.
it was okay, computers fucking sucked, and cellphones were about 2 inches thick and had an antenna that extended out. at least one of your friends got moonshoes and you were all disapointed about how they didnt work. a lot of people still had those box tvs with the woodgrain sides and only rich people had dvd players. nintendo 64 was the most common game console you saw in peoples house and toys r us always had one on demo and you would strain your neck looking up at the screen. uou also rented games and movies from blockbuster/movie gallery mtv still played music videos and nickelodeon played decent cartoons. for some reason there was a fixation with slime. people still used fol cameras and got pictures developed at stores and your parents made home movies with a vhs-c camera and you needed that weird adapter tape thing to watch them on tv. thats about all i can remember.
>>768749429
If you wanted to hang out with your friend you had to go to their house, if they werent there you had to go look for them at the usual spots

>>768749429
I suppose all people say their own decade was amazing. But it really was.
We had the X-men, Spider-Man, Hulk, Iron-Man, Superman and Batman animated series.
Video games were truly finding themselves. Sonic, Mario, DK, Zelda all got some of their greatest games. We jumped into 3D with the Playstation and N64, we got the Dreamcast too which honestly felt like a machine from the future.
Sci-Fi was having a boom on TV, with Star Trek TNG, DS9 and Voyager, Stargate SG-1 and many more besides.
PC prices were starting to come down and their usefulness was expanding.
The internet was just getting started, a mysterious place filled with a million secrets.
And porn. So much porn. We'd never seen the like.
The Simpsons were good and actually the funniest thing on TV and considered super-edgy.
Yeah, I miss the 90s.
>>768751928
So did parents ...
>>768749429
Oldfag reporting in. I was in HS & college during the 90s. The whole decade was pretty great. Best years ever. Modern enough to be interesting and free, but simple enough that life felt safe(ish). Entertainment was actually good, people didn’t stare into little screens taking selfies, average women weren’t SJWs, money flowed freely, and we prospered as a whole

>>768750474
Sure they did, but it was relaxed and they didn’t really do shit most of the time
>>768749429
the internet was bad until web browsers but you had to wait 2min for a single photo to download. First person shooters were the best games available, and until quake they were bad but we didn't know that at the time. tv had much more viewers back then and we all talked about the latest episode of the fucking simpsons like it was the best thing we'd ever seen, which is why simpsons memes refuse to die. the first mobiles could only really make calls but then they could play snake and send text messages. a million (yes, a million) people got hacked to death with machetes in rwanda and nobody in the west gave a fuck. we all just watched 902010 and acted like nothing happened. oh and clinton fucked lewinsky and got impeached and hillary was fine with it. people wore a lot of fluro colours and thought the 80s were cringe but clearly in retrospect the 80s fucking owned compared to the 90s.
We had couple communist crooks infesting the white house. People were a lot calmer. And it was HOT. Not that stupid global wrong bulls hit we have now where it's cool. It was utterly hot. Thank God it cooled off. Much better now. It that 10 years was hell.
90's were fucking awesome. Only real downer was how careful everyone had to be about sex during the peak of the AIDS crisis (early 90's). It's far easier to get casual pussy now than it was then.
>>768750841
Accurate post
>>768750934
Yeah, the first-wave of PC hit in the late 90s. South Park even made fun of it back then.
Nowhere near as bad as it is now, though.
>>768749429
We used our imaginations, our tv guides, entertainment weekly, or magazine ads to fap to our celeb crushes, or just record it onto a vhs.
>>768750301
I didn’t have a computer in ‘93 or ‘94 but my older cousins had one. I was 4 and they were 7 and 9. They launched their games from ms dos. We played rescue rover and dangerous Dave. I guess once you get the grasp of it you do it without issues
>>768760602
It was also a decade of talking, about anything and everything, since there was no widespread internet culture. It was also fun reading about new console rumors and reveals.
>>768751659
Not really though. Culturally, the 90s was very different from the 80s

Also hacking public phones with a paper clip.
The Looney Tunes were considered very hip hop.
>>768749429
It was a magic time when people were allowed to say what they wanted to say without sparking international outrage and harassment.
Michael Jackson was still black, Will Smith's nice clean rap was flavour of the month and nobody had heard of Quinoa.
The 90's were great. It was a time of balance between technology and a more tangible way of life. When you wanted to hang out with a friend you'd have to actually walk or ride your bike over to their house. Kids would play outside. Music and video games were exciting because there was a long wait to discovering what was new. TV shows weren't full of reverse racism nigger and jew shit. Cartoons were better. School wasn't some safe space homosexual retard breeding ground designed to perpetuate the feelings of illogical teenagers and pre teens. Basically just look at all the problems we have today because of tech and imagine they weren't there. Information didn't spread as fast so no one gave a shit about the thoughts of all the internet voices that no one should ever give a shit about anyway. I could go on, but you get it
>>768749429
We used to watch scrambled porn and have debates

Actual stand-up here. The 90's was the last of the glory days for jokes. Now any joke can be the end of your career. On top of that, you're competing with YouTube "comedians" for views who shamelessly steal jokes and content to the point where comics can't even put clips on YouTube without some hack stealing them. As for pay, you are completely wrong. No one is paying comics anymore, the bar scene is nothing like it was. It's all unpaid open mics. If you try the tour thing, you're lucky to break even and make your money on merch, not stage time.
TL;DR = Stand-up comedy is not what it used to be and will never be again. RIP the 80s/90s.
