The 90's was the last good decade

no
1950-1970s were better..
and 1930s were best

You cant go back, the past has gone.

30s was racist, the 70s was the first time of unity and that is why everything from music to television thrived

the universe peaked when all 4 of the Beatles had mustaches at the exact same time.

This. <3

Nope, 80's were the best. I agree about the 90's being the last great decade.

The party was over when the clock struck 2000

1945 to 1989 were the best of times for US
then guess what happened??

I agree. Everything went downhill after 2001.

waco, ruby ridge, oklahoma city bombing, yea good year for tptb

I was born in 1990 but wish I could've experienced the 80's as a teen to live the decade of hair metal. The 90's were great as a kid and looking back I would habe loved it just as much as an adult.

It seems in the U.S. we had reached a sort of equilibrium. Technology was evolved just enough to experience he benefits of fast communication but no so much that it completely absorbed our lives. The best part was the internet was so open and new that it was truly an experience to log on each time.

Music was less appealing than the 80's but still had a defining aura to it that really made the 90's what it was. NSYNC and Backstreet Boys, the bands most avoided in the 90s, outperform most pop songs I hear on the radio today. Music from that time still had some soul to it, originality. Today everything seems like it is a souless fabrication that caters to what sells rather than what inspires and I hate it every day.

Aliens, conspiracy theories and the sort seemed much more appealing back then when technology didn't make us such cynical assholes. The Phoenix Lights, Area 51, Roswell. All of it had mystery to it. I regret not being old enough to listen to Art Bell on AM radio talk about those mysteries. I have the privilege today through the internet and thank the gods that I can feel goosebumps turning off the lights in my room and just listening to that broadcast. Things now are always NWO, Muslim, or Jesus on constant repeat and have been since 2001.

I always daydreamed of living on a farm in one of the New England states stuck in that time period. Working a good job, affording a rustic and wholesome lifestyle, listening to great tunes in a F-150 coming back from the small town and listening to late night AM at the end of the day.

And perhaps I am the only one, but the only thing that constantly reminds me of the 90s is the sun. It seems my best memories were always basked in sunlight so when I feel nostalgic I'll get the feeling of once again living under a "90s sun".

I was 18 in 2000. The world was to be my oyster. I thought I was going to enter adulthood in the U.S. I grew up with and loved. Stepped right into a shit storm. Been trying to figure out how to get America back ever since.

Exactly. 2000 to present worst years so far for me and others I know. Example, same job in 1999 paid more than it does now in 2014 to start. Meanwhile the cost of living quadrupled since then. It will only get worst as time goes on.

The 90s were very good. The last good year wax 1998. Everything started to fall apart with y2k fear actually. It also seemed like 1999 was the beginning of the douchbag era. The cops were mostly cooler and not the nuts they are today. Young people weren't nearly as entitled. Everyone just seemed happier. Technology and fear destroyed a lot of humanism. I agree with the person who said we had just enough tech to not overwhelm our lives. The most amazing thing a young person of today can't understand, on a weekend summer night people left their houses and enjoyed being around strangers in public places... Its a hard concept to explain, constant spontaneous human connection happening on daily and weekly intervals that are positive in nature..

In contrast everything seems so empty and shallow now. The smartphones, 70" lcds, 200 'friends' on facebook... Pffft. It's all fucking chicken scratch.

Bumpity bump..

90s were a great time

the world went ape shit after 9/11

1890's?

I loved the 70s...hated the 80s...the 90s were the last good decade...there hasn't been anything close to good since.

Agreed.

What is so weird is to see young people listening to music that was from when I was in high school.

I loved the great concerts from the 70s where people were smoking in the audience and having more fun it seems.

I recently saw The Who and was amused at all the bald heads and grey hair and the amount of younger people who were there. It just seemed so sterile with the perfectly clear air and everybody just sitting during the show.

I never listened to my parent's music they grew up with.

Is there any music being recorded now they will play decades from now like they do from the 60s through 80s?

The 80's was the last good decade. The 90's brought us Bill Clinton and the beginning of political correctness.

PC was already in long before the 90's. As nice as the 80's may have been, it was not a perfect decade, not even close.

Drugs, violent crime, and teen pregnancy were rampant during the 80's for example.

I think the biggest reason many Americans look back on those times fondly is because they were more economically stable. They were far from perfect, but your money could go further, ESPECIALLY WITH GASOLINE PRICES in this 80's/90's vs now.

One's age also factors in a lot of the time. While not set in stone, the older a person is the older their "good days" are much of the time.

Personally, I try not to look back too much on the past, because those times are gone and can never be visited again. You are in the here and now in 2014, and can only go forward with time.

You're kidding right?

90's were such optimistic times, 9/11 brought it all to a stand still.

I didn't say the 80's were perfect but that decade beat the hell out of the 90's. Growing up in the 60's and 70's people didn't have to watch every word that came out of their mouths. People were not so easily offended about any darn thing.
Of course we have to go forward and most of us have. We do have to look back though because like Santayana said, Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
