Nostalgia is killing me. I want so desperately to go back to the 90s or early 00s...

I know what you mean. I remember having every emo and scene girl in the room start eyefucking me whenever I would enter the room in high school. I would overhear them telling their friends how hot they thought I was. Now I am nothing. Like that one Coldplay song.

Peaking in high school fucking sucks man.

Theres an entire underground community of people that recreate their libes to be 20s, 50s, 60, 70s.
No reason why you can't immerse yoirself in the 90s.

Just don't be one of those insufferable fags that what born mid 90s and up that pretends to have lived through previous decades because they found old songs on youtube and old vidya.

Look on the bright side, friendo, at least you did peak at some point. Some of us have been at the very bottom our entire lives.

Normies thirst for fame, and they'll trample over anyone to get there - both things that social media provides.

Late 1995 / Early 1996 - early 2001 was objectively the best time, although 2007-8 and 2014 were also great.

2007-2008 was the start of the SJW era that Obama ushered in when he began his campaign. Dark days, those.

I have no idea what that was, but it's magical.

They're being told that their opinion matters and their voices should be heard, by these social media companies who just want the revenue and the large amount of people swooping in.

And now people are easily influenced by that idea and think their thoughts matter more than they do, especially the impressionable younger generation. So now we here every hot ass boring opinion everyone has to say.

Its why politics is in the shit now. People cant shut the fuck up about it and always have to be obnoxious about their political opinion because they think somehow by ranting about it on a website, they're making a huge difference, and that when they @ a specific celebrity, that the celebrity is even fucking reading it, never mind actually considering their opinion.

>2007-2008 was the start of the SJW era that Obama ushered in when he began his campaign. Dark days, those.
it wasnt obama it was iphones dumbing down the internet to the point that women and other morons could actually use it for the first time.

You're attatched to nostalgia, not because of the era, but because the prospect of what it meant to the people you feel validated by.

Yeah nostalgia is serious business. I'm in the process of remodeling my life right now, because I'm trying to recreate my personal 90s environment as closely as possible. Looking for a house that looks like our old house, in the same kind of town, with the same kind of scenery. I might even buy back our actual old house from whoever lives there now. Then I'd have to do a fuckton of remodeling on the inside because another family lived there for like 20 years, plus it would be a terrible investment if I were to approach this rationally.

I preserved my old stuff as much as possible. Consoles like the PSX and Sega Saturn have been carefully sealed. Emulators exist. I try to have as few online accounts as possible, no social media. A major drive behind my nostalgia is that I want to be "offline" again.

I'm pretty sure it was the great recession which started in 2007 or 2008.

>Obama
You spastic, it was the lowering of the IT barriers that lead us to this point.

Wait, how old is the Wii?

It's because of smartphones. Smartphones were a mistake.

I just want to have internet friends again and to have an e-gf that visits me and we go traveling together and the world is still bearable. I want 1999 to never end.

>because the prospect of what it meant to the people you feel validated by.
It's not even that deep. Many posters in the thread straight up admit the only reason they are nostalgic is because they had a gf or friends. Tbh if you're life revolves around validation from others you probably have more issues than just being an outcast.

Haha yeah if you'r life revolves around the most basic aspects of being human you have le problem *tips le fedora*

Fuck no. I was a loner incel during highschool years. I became chad later. Never that I would go back to that. Hanging out here is basically nostalgia for me

Go get some food you ate as a child, put on a movie you watched as a child, put on your pyjamas and close your blinds.

NFSUG for the xbox and ps2 was the last good need for speed. Burnout 3 takedown, was cool too.

I meant NFSMW

>>tfw you'll never customize your own car from scratch and add cool mods to it over the years
Why won't you? Just get a pre-2005 car retard?

And the people reliving the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s?

Righto mate, nothing wrong with it

some days, there will be smells that will bring me back to my childhood or early teens

>come outside after a fresh rain
>the smell of flourishing trees and grass with the scene of fresh rain flood my senses
>remember running out my front door as a kid to see other friends just as excited that the rain finally stopped
>the warm sun as a reminder theres plenty of day left
>open my eyes
>i'm not a kid
>early 30s
>slightly overweight
>slightly balding
>slightly happy

I can almost hear the sound of bicycle wheels rolling over damp pavement and soaked leaves.

>anyone reading?
Sorry, what? I was playing Candy Crush.

The year everything went to shit (I'd say it was 2008 with Iron Man, COD4, Youtube coming into it's own, etc)
