Politically and socially, what was it about the 1990s that makes the decade stand out as so incredibly comfy? Any /old/fags have stories to share about living through the 1990s?

during the 90s they had to interact with other people to do anything
now we just sit behind a screen

America had a well defined culture before shit hit the fan

And we didn't have to give a shit about the rest of the world because we didn't really see it, thanks to no internet

The cold war had ended, the shadow of thermonuclear crisp was no longer hovering over everything. Anything was possible. It was an exciting time and most people felt safe.

Then it all fell to shit in the 00's.

Segregation

Forgot to mention, it all fell to shit because the zionists in Washington needed a new enemy, so they engineered 9-11 and the rest is Islam.

Fall of the Soviet Union. We were all going to live in a harmonious international liberal democracy. The economy was good enough back then and media sufficiently centralized that it was basically only fringe white nationalists, survivalists, libertarians, anti-capitalists, and religious fundamentalists who didn't want it to go this way. The same things were occuring then as are now, white people just weren't awake yet because they were largely insulated from its effects.

Also critical theorists hadn't learned to do outrage culture yet so soccer moms could still use their purchasing power and assorted dog whistle racism to keep minorities from being prominent.

Media in the United States up until that point was racially bifuricated. It's only in the last 10 years that the kikes have started to make the home inhospitable by forcing deracinated mutts onto your TV screen.

When your dad told you something it was true. Children didn't have a phone to rip up Twitter commie talking points.

Dude. The 90s was full of gangs and drive by shootings and heroin addicts. How did they feel safer? It was the age where people where shot for their sneakers or wearing the wrong colors.

Engineered is dubious. There were problems there long before 9/11, and as much as we might like to, it's hard to place the blame on Jews. Those who subscribe to this particular narrative don't seem to understand that, despite being subversive tumors, Jews are preferable in the short term to Arabs. They're more intelligent and capable of operating within the market economy, though it's sort of like choosing between shooting yourself and drowning, because in the long run they end up advocating for complete deracination of everyone except for themselves.

It was a happier culture. Music hadn't been monetized. Property hadn't been monopolized. Internet hadn't taken over interaction...
Digimon, Pokemon, raves, amazing music, Moby
Smaller population, less immigration, easier to get away with things... No surveillance state, no constant advertisements.. The ads were even kinda funny. Not as much dog eat dog....
All because of an independent economy...
That's why people love Trump. He's the only one talking about globalist slave labor exploitation through free trade...

>1990s
>comfy
The only reason this is perpetuated is because soiboys going through their quarter-life-crises have reverted to childlike states and opine for the time period in which they were children. The 90s were grungy corporate decadence.

Gen X=independent self sufficient

How did they feel safer those days? It was constant arson, robbery, seeing shot out windows, grafitti. Crime was super high.

Honest answer?

People were less neurotic.

When you're addicted to do something, you emit neurotic traits

Cell phone use throughout the day - the ticks of checking it all the time etc - it emits into society

Increased cells phone use will lead to neuroticism.

Think about it - all the SJWs are nerds.

Look at how neurotic and crazy Jow Forums is too, always talking about black men.

None of my friends and family that are well adjusted talk like this

Opiate crisis is much worse now.

Crime is much lower and most people taking opiates are in severe pain these days.

I agree about the neurotic point.

Every decade has been shit but previous decades look relatively comfy because things get progressively worse every decade that passes.

semi-oldish-fag here. you can trace the line of societal failure along the trend line of internet propagation to normies.

It wasn't in Estonia or any of the Baltics. Very high rates of crime and the highest suicide rates in the world.

no smartphones and slower internet so less brainwashed mind controlled hypno zombies.

your thoughts are not your own.

The hell is a pog? I think you mean tazo

nintendo and blockbuster

Bretty good gesalt
Life was a bit slower back then

Yes.
>I remember in 94 when south Africa abolished apartheid. Whites creamed their jeans over it, and my teachers especially.
The maps and globes in my school >still had the Soviet Union on it. It was real, and people were super patriotic in spite of them.
>I remember when everyone was playing nevermind from Nirvana.
Anyway, that's just history.
Actually living in it?
I lived in a small town 99 percent fucking white. The only browns we saw were the occasional Mexican, and oddly enough, a Macedonian family who were refugees from the Balkan war.

Zero blacks. If they had the balls to show up, they were run the fuck out by boisterous youth.

Anyone brown were treated as it's own separate enclave. We didn't fucking talk to them, really, and they didn't wanna talk to us either. It was nice that way.

Kids played in the street all summer. It was completely common to have a group of 7-12 year old kids in town with zero supervision playing until a street light came on. The neighbors knew eachother, and would tell on us if they caught us fucking around.
Was pretty common play in a fire hydrant some redneck dad opened for us.

No one was afraid of terrorism. Period. It was pretty unheard of.

Everyone knew the local cops, and they weren't mall Ninja faggots. Just normal dudes who helped the community. Most calls were responding to a drunken couple hitting eachother.

The military had a cool, untouchable 80s asthetic. People thought they were freedom fighting alphas.

Zero identity politics. Gays were treated as fucking weirdos. Trans? Unfucking heard of. Absolutely nuts concept.

Any questions, I can tell you more. BTW this isn't some rose tinted glasses flashback. It's the truth.

Everything felt great because I was in high school and wasn't exposed to the media kikes every fucking day.
The only things that mattered were vidya, enjoying youth, and knowing that technology kept getting better and better. We didn't have to give a shit about the rest of the world's problems.
Nobody talked about muslims except as a foreign, backward sand religion. Let alone jews. Now it's all kikery.

Absolutely. As a kid:
>Muslims? What the fuck is a Muslim?

Can confirm

My first movie rental was at Blockbuster. I rented Willow.

Yeah, less neurotic

We as a society need to have a Renaissance to collectively not be neurotic anymore

Kanye West is trying to be the Pied Piper. He's speaking from experience kek.

LSD and the lack of bullshit concepts like White Privilege and Gender identity.

Some things were more relaxed. You could smoke in trains and airplanes still in -96. There were only a couple thousand Somali immigrants.

I really think the point about social media and internet leading to neuroticism on a country wide scale is way underplayed...
Look at how many people you see checking their phones out in public.
That alone is an indication of wide cultural anxiety...

Just remembered Cars had ashtrays in them, and badass comfy bench seating. My dad thought he was hot shit when he got a car phone.

The 90s were absolute shit. The music was shit, Clinton was shit, and niggers and gays started the become empowered.

Your flag just reminded me of how I lived with my Finnish grandpa in the early 90s cuz we were poor. He spoke a few languages and taught my East German escapee Aunt English. :(

I bought my first cell phone in May -97. Felt like a king. It was a Nokia 8110, the one in Matrix

Aw fuck! I wanted that phone so bad!

Ignorance; it is bliss
Now we face great enlightenment; a heavy burden

It's also killing testosterone as well, which in turn helped play a role in killing off masculinity.

There needs to be a type of re-awakening.

Hippie movement, but in an understood sense of self/mentally centered revolution.

It's a futuristic way of thinking so we can't comprehend how it'll be done, but it'll need to be done to balance out 21st century neuroticism

Friends and Sinfeld and Simpsons were realistic depictions of life back then. They were comfy. Now everyone thinks they were too offensive. Sound familiar?

Techno (EDM) was strictly for butt fucking faggots and eurofags.

Things are all gay now.

This shit was amazing back then.

Oh heres a fucking shocker: my older brother went as a pack of Newport cigarettes for Halloween, because that's the brand my dad smoked. He was a big hit at the moose Lodge Halloween party. People thought it was great. Fuck I miss the 90s

Yeah bro, first time in Estonia in -97. It was in a ROUGH shape compared to these days

Those were the comfy days

Everyone having more money, everyone having good jobs and all the hours you could want.

the 90s was shit
t. boomer

Yeah. Techno was a eurotrash meme. Although, when prodigy came out, that shit was pretty tight.

haha it was all called techno but in that scene people cringed at house or jungle being referred to as techno, good times

That video is pretty fucking deranged. Prodigy had a bunch of weird ass videos back then too.

I would also like to say that shit didn't get deranged and weird in society until Facebook went public. As soon as that IPO was released, a few days later I could feel something was wrong. And surprise surprise they were selling data and shoving in their own form of news into everything.

More white people

I was too young but I remember I was outside all day and my parents didn't have to worry.
Also the "lookism" probably caused by instagram which lets 12 year old girls "conture" and cake their faces everyday was not a thing.
There were beauties and not so beautiful girls (same with men) but I have a feeling people had more tolerance.
It also seems the integration of "poc" in movies was not as political motivated as it is today but just normal.

>what was it about the 1990s that makes the decade stand out as so incredibly comfy?
It wasn't. It was no different than nowadays.

Stop with your dumb nostalgia threads.

>Kids played in the street all summer. It was completely common to have a group of 7-12 year old kids in town with zero supervision playing until a street light came on. The neighbors knew eachother, and would tell on us if they caught us fucking around.
>Was pretty common play in a fire hydrant some redneck dad opened for us.
I just shed a fucking tear

Mostly only an issue in the shit areas of the biggest cities.

Something you saw Clint Eastwood and RoboCop handle on TV.

Also products and companies were totally different. Now a days every fucking company has a gay ass mission statement or trying to take a stand on political shit while making garbage products. Back then companies screamed at each other going "we make the best products or provide the best service" "no, we make the best product or provide the best service". There was more competition and the customer won. Eventually they just referred to us as consumers.

Yeah man. Small Town life in 90s America. Sure it was similar around the world.

>hedonism and consumerism thats not even obsessed with fun shit like sex and alcohol but autistic shit like tamagotchis, grunge music and retard tier shows like friends

The only way it is possibly better is that it's culture wasn't influenced as much by leftism. Otherwise you're just a boomer 2.0 memorizing about how much of a faggot you used to be.

Man, that is a jaw chiseled with a healthy dose of MDMA

Republicans weren't in power.

>project for a new american century

>no faggot tier niggers saying 'tight'
the 90's had some good features.

You know what I wanted for Christmas as a little kid? It was a viewmaster handheld projector. That's it. Maybe Mario 3 for NES

I just laughed at myself for saying "tight"

What was the percentage of whites in US back in the 90s? How is it compared to today?

It might have been tight, but was it fresh?

Fucking idiot kids stop responding to slide threads. The 90's were good because most of you hadn't learned to speak yet. Sage

there were less niggers

It was very similar to that in my neighbourhood except for the fire hydrant, we don't have those in here.
But yeah, I recall running around the neighbourhood with my group of friends without any sort of supervision and fearing some old man with a cane that hated us and kept yelling he would speak to our parents.
I think it was mostly the internet that changed everything

Pretty sure In most of the 90s whites were like 73 percent, we are now about 67 percent

>stand out as so incredibly comfy
It was totally forgettable and irrelevant.
Not comfy.

Hahah there was always that grouchy old man that the kids were afraid of.

And eventually the old fuck would actually manage to grab you by the arm and yell on your face and you'd run shitless in utter fear while your friends were already 6 blocks away not even looking back

political correctness and triggering was non existent, imagine being able to have different opinions without being witch hunted and there were only two genders

That may well be the case (though I think you're exaggerating), but the point was that there was a general consensus that ideological wars were over. We were all going to be consumers in a world wide market place.

>There's only the market and it doesn't care who you are

Remember when saying "you just got raped!" was commonplace when you'd beat someone at something IRL?

Remember when you, all your friends, and literally everyone else referred to dumb/lame/etc things as GAY?

The list goes on.

the 90s were shit
timeline only got better after 9/11

jewish audio slop fed to whites nowadays commands them to seek out and take opiates to destroy themselves. check any rock radio station in your city and this is what they play now

It wasn't as nice as you seem to think, trust me. Plenty of fucking cretins, faggots, and weirdos.

>not still doing these things

Have you guys ever noticed that it seems like there are a lot of Nirvana fans on Jow Forums? Like, you would think they would sort of go the opposite way. Kurt Cobain was postmodernist nihilism incarnate.

I still say gay and retarded but I'll admit the feminists won me over wrt the casual use of the word rape. It's inappropriate and juvenile (not that calling people "retarded" isn't, there's just far fewer people who are going to take offence to the term).

I really miss calling things gay. Now people look at you funny

I remember the first negroid family moving into my hometown in the early 90's. I was nearly 18 years old so I am thankful that the majority of my youth was spent amongst white folks. There was a family of Pakis before that that had an apartment for a few months but they got run out. No one was nice to them, the kids all got picked on, etc. Good times. Now I travel back there and it seems half the high school has turned dark and everything has turned to shit.

Whites were still somewhat rulers of their nations.

Only if you were black

Edgy kids are always Nirvana fans.

It was pretty bad, thatcher,poll tax riots, recession, mass unemployment.
Drug abuse,suicide, nu labour, britpop,90s was bad.

There was a lot of junkies in the 90's, but they mostly kept to their own communities/cliques. You knew where to avoid them. Now it's just all over the place.

This. It's the same with the fags that have a boner for the 1950s. The 90s weren't that great. Cultural degeneracy had reached new heights but most people were too stupid to see it or care since they were doped out on shitty sitcoms and sugar.

There were jobs and it was fun as fuck: raves, music, dancing, drugs, people. Met my future wife in 92. Now every job has 200+ applicants and it's just drugs and phones.

Finland suffered a major depression during the 90s. The finnish mark was devalued and shit hit the fan. Suddely if you had 50 000MK house loan yesterday tomorrow it was 100 000MK.

So no comfy 90's for me at least. Im from the countryside and my father died in the mid 90's and my mom had to work extra hard to get trough the mortages and living. All in the past now, but i do not know these comfy times in the 90's.

Graduated in 92.

Had a lot more fun in the 80s.

Going to bars in the 99s was cool though.

This, the internet ruined everything and is taking away aspects of our humanity. You could tell the new wave of screeching feminist bullshit was just around the corner though...janeane garofalo and other Mtv trash was rearing its head.

rampant murder gangs regularly killed all the types that would inevitably be the basis for modern sòyboys
this allowed testosterone to rule and pussies to wait in the shadows
until the new millenial arose and now the faggots run free and protected

Pretty much what every 90’s dude learned to play guitar from. Lotta Jow Forums also likes RATM and their message is gommy shiet. If anything it demonstrates the naive aspect we all had back then.

this i live the danm thing he was a emo fedora cunt, the grunge movement killed all the cool stuff from the 80s...

the people asking for the cool 90s are actualling asking for the last breath of life from the 80s

some user posted pic related, thats very true, even here in chile.
