Cause no internet allowed us to believe that everything was fine.

Do you see any black people in that pic?

Attitudes weren't quite as bleak before the turn of the millennium and the war on terror.

A better question would be "why are people so unhappy nowadays?"

>Why were people so happy during the 1990s?
No social media

>t. Gen X

None of our bad decisions as a civilization had come to bite us in the ass yet.

Ignorance.

We're sad now because of stagnation

>Video games were good
>Movies were... decent
>Cartoons were excelent
>No internet, so laud minorities had no voice
>Kids played outside
>America and europe were still white
>Identity politics didn't start yet
>Homosexuality was frowned upon

>>Identity politics didn't start yet
Identity politics was popular for decades and changing the country. It's the lack of White Identity that is the issue.

I could leave my house in the morning, work all day long, meet a bunch of people, and never see a single nigger.

>you will never grow up in the 80s
>you will never be on the prime of your life in the 90s
It hurts lads

Because it actually came with a space pinball game.

And in the '90s people was less happy than in the 80s

This! Space Cadet was the shit! I have a high-score of over 130 million on my 133Mhz Pentium.

I'm happier now than I was in the 90's I think.

No I see Terry A Davis

a few have said it but genuinely it was ignorance.

and this.
didnt see a nog until the year 2000

Look at the pic, undeniably a white country in the 90s, whites were still dominating the entertainment industry

the idea of a black muslim president seemed like it was 500 years away, not just 8 years away.. the ideas of gay marriage sweeping the nation and the idea that transgendered freaks would be walking into the women's bathroom sounded like a cruel joke, not national policy

internet
globalism
rampant leftist ideology

Boomers would have not had a nice economy and living standards late 70s-late 90s if the credit card had not appeared

the economy was set to tank back then but the credit card was invented which pushed the destruction of the rosy economy back a full generation to dump all the bad shit on the millenials

Well Economic wise, USA had zero competition, USSR was dead, China & Europe were still getting on their feet & Japan was in decline

The social issues started to get real bad in the 90's, Niggers defending OJ & the LA riots come to mind & politically Clinton was turning the White House into a joke, 90's wasn't that great, just the amazing economy helped people ignore it

Millennials couldn't talk.

The only ignorance is your post.
90's had no where near the problems of today + everyone was white

i wish i was born in the early 70s instead of early 80s. i was only like 12 years old in 95 so i didnt really get to enjoy the economy of that era as i was just a kid and lived off my parents anyway. instead i came of age post 9/11. just in time to watch everything start to burn.

Ignorance.

Because SJWism was still in its infancy and hadn't reached critical mass. Also the consequences of mass migration were not obvious yet. Although the signs for both these maladies were all there.

>blacks didn't come until after the 90s

I remember watching the news of NATO bombing the serbs in the 90s and cheering on 'the good guys'.
We didnt know any different.

The fallout from what Gen X saw collapse is starting to manifest now in their children, who we call Gen Z.

90s were amazing for everyday life
cracks in the political system and rule of law were appearing but overall they were a very good time even if you don't count the tech boom of the late 90s

The tech boom economy of that period is greatly overrated, not that many people took part in it in the overall picture of the US and its economy.

The good economy was the result of Newt Gingrich really with him having congress cut government spending by a fuck ton and giant tax cut on capital gains.

Internet ruined everything. Small example, you'd get excited when a random movie or show you loved popped up on TV....or you'd scour the TV Guide for something you hoped would be playing....or changing the channels for your parents on the TV because you had no remote....the atmosphere was different. At least here in rural PA, the same ideas of the 30s, 40s, etc still existed in hard work, family, church (not even overly religious but maintained for traditions), sure gays and lesbians were creeping into society but it is absolutely nothing like it is now. Most people generally supported them but it has been warped into something insane. I can talk about how pre-high speed Internet days were so much better. You felt more free, more an individual, more anonymous.

Things were much better but the reason it all vanished was ignorance. Only source of world news or even national news was the kike box, if somebody didnt tell you first hand what was going on you only knew their narrative.
People unironically called Clinton the best president ever at the time.

Only windows game worth playing

Great music. Internet wasn't censored. Downloading shit was easy.

Better not talk shit about Skifree and Chip's Challenge, nigger!

They indeed were happier

Is that why gangster rap became so popular? White people?

I dunno about that.
I remember a certain Mr Harris and Mr Klebold not being such happy campers back then.
And boy were they a riot about it
Not ones too keep quiet

I'm convinced 1997-1999 was basically peak civilization.

Pre 911
Pre financial crisis
Pre psychological damage from social media/internet

90s were last decade of optimism before the reality of western civilzation's decline settled into our collective subconscious

we got to watch identity politics rise and fall flat on it's fat face

Communism was just over and shitskins still stayed in their shitholes. It was a glorious time.

>Everyone had bad taste so it was okay

1994
>lol white ppl be wierd lining up for computer shit
2018

That's the power of cultural Marxism and their "long march through the institutions".

Bill & Ted movies. We wanted to be most excellent to each other back then.

This. /thread

Less mexicans

Eurodance was already full of niggers and people idolized them. Just look at the Bailando video. That said, the music was indeed happier than it is today and actually was OK for some casual listening (unlike modern pop which is pure cancer).

They weren't. It's an illusion. The 90s sucked and were boring.

The 80s were superior

We weren't importing tons of shitskins.

Ha ha

It was a better time, before 9/11 of course!

>what is the Immigration Act of 1990

The third one is coming out user, will we see the degeneracy be washed away and replaced by people being excellent for another few years? I believe in Keanu Reeves

Feminism and SJWism hadn't yet completely destroyed the social contract between men and women.

It took years for them to get here and then bring their extended families over. We are just now feeling the full effect.

Atleast back then , they were only in the videos , now they are spreading everywhere

Fewer.

SJW's werent a thing
Niggers weren't uppity and didn't have a national podium
Trannies were considered freaks, even by faggots
Pre-social-media internet was fucking amazing. All the porn, none of the attention whores
Internet was also mostly for nerds. By which I mean smart, tech-oriented people, not NERDS!(tm)xD

Honestly, they were the best of times in my 60+ years on this planet.

Excitement about this new internet thingy and the fabulous benefits it would bring such as equal access for all to information and massive advances in productivity that was going to raise living standards. Education on the internet was going to make college affordable for everyone. Stocks soared as hundreds of new companies formed to take advantage of this new wonder. Race relations were steadily improving. While there were rich and poor, the poor had access to affordable goods at the local Walmart at prices far below what the wealthier paid for their status versions from the mall. Every year was better than the year before. There was optimism that our kids would have it even better than were we. We spoiled the shit out of our kids because we could. High school parking lots looked like new model car lots. July 4th neighborhood celebrations rivaled the city ones with firworks exploding in the sky from nearly every backyard or so it seemed. Optimism.

Terrible music. What the fuck

Me too user :(

The SJWs and faggots existed in the biggest cities, going to London was like visiting a zoo for a guy like me from a small market town.
Anywhere there was a large enough concentration of them in one place, they could feed off each others delusions and push each other to the point where they were confident enough to meet somewhere in public, they also created a large enough concentration to attract other nutcases with the offer of social interaction in exchange for their identity.
With the internet, their reach is global and the normalisation accelerated, its no longer contained in the big cities as the same mass effect of faggotry becoming an appeal to switch is open to everyone, even people alone in the middle of nowhere in some village.

Social media isnt a post 90s thing in of itself, its a middle stage internet thing. People went from posting and thinking things they couldnt talk about anywhere else, to posting and thinking things they thought other people want to hear, internet likes and upvotes triggering the bits of their brain that told people they werent lonely failures.

Nobody gave a shit about race, there were plenty of fags, nobody felt they needed to speak up about it.
I want to go back.
This is ALL new tricks.

Social media is mostly to blame. People had much more appreciation for their lives. Now everyone has become spiteful towards each other and are at constant competition for who has the better life. Most decisions people make nowadays are based on how many likes they can get on JewBook. Social media has also given any idiot a platform to convince an already impressionable population of problems that don't exist.

Soviet Union implosion freed the economy up big time and we rode the wave until around 2007-2008

massive returns on the computerization of the 80s

No internet in the 90's? I beg to differ.

This. The long recession of the 80's were in the past as "star wars" spending and technology in general caused a booming economy.

Pure MDMA still existed

the 90's:

- the blacks knew their place, in the cities
- the gays knew their place, in clubs in the cities
- the SJWs were only found in the Women's Studies departments of universities
- the mexicans jumping the border were not a major issue, it was rarely reported on although it was happening daily
- porn was something that took effort to find, it wasn't a click away in 500 styles and varieties
- the early internet was only accessible by desktop computers, an item too complicated and expensive to be operated by blacks/browns
- the movies and music were still mostly all white
- the Libs in the media were constantly pushing the envelope and testing the limits, but they were smart enough not to blow the door completely off the hinges
- all of the little perverted splinter groups in America hadn't yet aligned themselves into one big national movement - that was still a few years away

No retarded USSR anymore. China promised to become a liberal democracy.

did this thread come off of Jow Forums? jesus christ.


What actually happened:
>With the Soviet Union gone, Japan waning in influence, and China still largely irrelevant, the US was the unparalleled global economic and military powerhouse
>Europe was rebuilding itself quickly after the East-West divide largely ended
>Globalisation looked like a beautiful thing; western economies had a golden age
>Technology rapidly developing but no social media yet to cause additional worries in people's lives
>Comparative global peace, particularly among western countries; a feeling of invincibility dominated

cont.
THEN, OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE
>U.S. attacked in the largest attack on American soil since 1945 on 9/11; feeling of invincibility instantly shattered
>small recession immediately follows
>war also follows; first big conflict since the Gulf War
then it just keeps getting fucking worse and worse
>China emergences as a real economic and even military threat
>Massive recession hits in 2007-2008, severely hurting the overall economy and completely fucking destroying rural economies and third-world development
>war seemingly drags on forever
still worse
>social cohesion and optimism largely dead completely at this point
>"ignorance is bliss" is proven true as social media emerges, giving people both new social and political things to constantly worry about
>largely reached a point of cultural anomie at this point. politics start to go from generic and moderate to really fucking weird.
>war still hasnt ended holy fuck how many years has it been?
>economy starts to pick up again but jobs are few, and those few jobs are absolute shit. college hardly helps and costs a fuckton
>also out of nowhere, Russia re-emerges as a global military/political power and annexes chunks of Ukraine
>tiny, irrelevant states now have nukes and constantly threaten to kill anyone and everyone
>US politics go fucking sideways. everyone either brags about sucking black cocks or wants to have 1/3 of the population lynched. everyone seemingly getting browner? and more foreign
So basically things went from pretty good to vietnam war tier but worse seemingly out of nowhere. Thus why people reminisce over the 90's and even early 2000's.

tl;dr. Capitalism and democracy "win" in the 90's. 9/11 and the recession break that "win" really brutally.
