Nice

keep it bumped anons I just wrot a short story that took place in the nineties ill post the last few paragraphs

She followed me home that night because I had a little too much to drink, I stick my hand out the window as I pulled in the driveway and she flashed her lights and drove until she was out of sight.

And that was it. That was the last time I had any meaningful conversation with her. I would drunk dial her from time to time over the next year. It's weird but again I don't know how I got her number down there. But I remember it being in a little black book I carried. She must have given it to me but I don't remember the exchange. Sometimes when I had been out a little too late and was feeling nostalgic I'd give her a ring. We'd talk for fifteen or twenty minutes. Nothing serious just drunken babble. Sometimes her roommate would answer and she was never too happy about me calling at the wee hours of the morning.

>>733724082
these days aren't that bad.
it's just the big major cities where people are fucking retarded.

I live in a small town, and honestly, it's the exact same as it was in the 90's.
you'd barely know cellphones even existed.

>>733727147
I moved to Gainesville the next year to try my shot at higher education. I was up late one night and really drunk. I pulled out my black book and saw her number. I gave her a call and her room mate picked up. She cussed me out
pretty bad, I can't say that I blame her. She told me to stop calling at all hours of the night, and hung up the phone.

That was the last time I called her. It just seemed like the only time it crossed my mind in my busy life was at three am. I met my wife around the same time, and putting in the time to keep up a dying relationship while starting a whole new one seemed like a little too much of a task for me.

>>733727272
That was seventeen years ago. I was nineteen. I reconnected with her years later on social media. We sent each other a couple of messages, and joked about not even knowing what we could have been talking about for hours at a time all those years ago, but we don't stay in touch... at all.

I saw her once, I was at a gun shop of all places. I heard a familiar voice behind me and turned and there she was. She gave me a hug and we talked for a minute, seconds really. Then we said goodbye, fading back into obscurity in each other's minds.

>>733727147
And isn't it kind of like a death? Don't you go through all of the same stages? When you realize that a friendship has died. You deny it at first. Try to hang on. Make phone calls at three in the morning just because you cannot accept that it's over, that this connection you had you will never have again. You try to cling to any fabric of the relationship that may still be alive.

And after you realize that it's gone and not coming back, don't you mourn it? Dont you get the same sinking feeling in your stomach that eats at you when you think about it. A different place in time when things were simpler, wouldn't you give anything to have it back?

And after you've mourned dont you accept it. Do you see it for what it was and look back and enjoy those memories, even if some of them were too painful to put into words? Isn't that what happens when someone dies? We think at the onset that it's the worst thing we will ever deal with, and then years later have a hard time even remembering the details of that persons laugh or smile?

>>733727147
It is such a curious thing for me, to sit here talking to you today, almost two decades removed from the last chapter in this story. I look back at it and I know that at the time this story seemed so important. This person was such a significant part of shaping my life. But today I can barely remember any of the words we spoke to one another. How does life change like that? and seemingly over night.

If you were to talk to fifteen year old me, and told him this story what would he say? Would he believe you? Would he try to change it? Would that event throw my life in a different trajectory if he did try to change it?

You never really think about it at the time. Will this be the last time I have a meaningful conversation with this person who I have known half of my life? If you did know, what would you say? And why does it happen anyway? Is it time, dates, appointments, schedules. Is it part of growing up, or the shift from one era of your life to the next that you can't recognize until you are removed from it and looking at it with a different set of eyes?

>>733727147
This thing, it happens to us all. Our lives completely change before our eyes but we can't see it happening. What ever innocence I had was slowly dying and the harsh realities of the world were starting to close in on me. 9/11 put the last nail in the coffin and none of us knew it at the time but the world that this story took place in was gone, and a new one was born. Maybe that's why this story is so special to me. It's the last reminisce I have of a world gone by. It's the last connection that I have to an age where things were simpler where I was simpler.

A world where you couldn't connect with anyone in the world instantly. A world where you actually had to have conversations with people to get to know them, instead of just looking at a facebook profile and commenting on their statuses. A world where if you picked up the phone you were committed, committed to having something to talk about. Where you couldn't just send a one sentence text to your friend to keep in touch. A world where you remembered phone numbers in your head and didnt just having them stored on your phone.

>>733727147
Maybe it's all these things put together that made us care about each other more than we do today. Whatever it is, in this shift of eras we've all lost something. And just like my friendship with this girl, that something we lost is never coming back. We can deny it, we can mourn it but in the end we have to learn to accept it, and just like how we deal with the loss of a friend either through death or the passage of time we have to be able to look back at it and be thankful that we were able to live it.


The end

>>733724082
so when were you born?

>>733727920
Nice story. You'll probably get called a faggot but I thought your introspection was interesting

>>733726578
>comes to the asshole of the internets asshole and expects everyone to be kind.

leave.

>>733724082
Well, as a genuine oldfag, everything was better before 9/11. 9/11 fucked this country up mentally. We haven't been the same since. That terrorist attack was way more successful than they ever could hope it would be.

>>733727920

thanks, anon

>>733730087
I've been coming here since 2007 practically every day. I didn't say I wasn't an asshole too.

Selection bias.

>>733724082
thank obama

I turned 13 in 2000. Everything up to that point seems better, but if I think back far enough I can remember a people being just as shitty to each other then as they are now.

You've spotted the important difference- widespread high speed internet and telecommunications means that people engage in the same shitty behavior a little more publicly than before. My racist grandpa would say shit about wide receivers and nobody but the people in the room gave a fuck. If he were alive today he'd be ratted out by one of his bratty grand-spawn, pilloried and made to sit through a few days of autistic screeching and death threats.

I'm relieved that I'll be dead before 2030

Well, they dont know how fucked they are, this might be the generation that witnesses nuclear war and the end of civilization.

Its kinda not fair for them honestly, they will never know what a simpler life could be.

>>733724082
1990 was the pinnacle of human evolution

>>733731009
>/b/ is the worst place on the internet

not even remotely close to what i said kiddo.

Story anon here. The story was about a girl I knew from middle school through high school.

93-99. We talked on the phone for hours every night at the for years and then slowly we fazed out of each other's lives. It's really long though but it takes a nice look at the 90,s

>>733724082
People went out to socialize and not just sit together using social media.

No social media.
No cell phones.
No internet.

>>733732157
>No social media.
>No cell phones.
>No internet

wrong.

it wasn't so easily accessible but was around.

>>733732157
My car is an '89 and sometimes i leave the house at night without my phone and drive backroads listenting to cassettes. Just sort of spacing out. Pretending things are better.

>>733732673
Story fag here can confirm. AOL 94or so. Instant messaging did that shit a lot in the 90's but it was pretty crappy

>>733724082
Sadly, coming from that generation, I'd have to agree. All except for school, where kids were more assholes to each other than they are now. My kids have experienced almost no bullying to date, and rarely ever see it (and when they do, they help out the bullied).

Story fag again

You don't have to use the internet, phone, social media all the time.

You have the option to unplug.

I don't see the big deal.

I'm 30. I don't use any social media but I do use chat programs. I go out to meet my friends. I live in the suburbs with my wife and kid.

>>733724082

I'm 30 and I can tell you the 90s were the shit. Shit went downhill FAST after "Y2K"

im 38 the 90s were great today is knowhere near as good

>>733733483
you were too young to remember or enjoy them faggot

>>733733920
Yeah, but you werent into shitty hair metal so it doesnt count

>>733733852
back in the late 80s and 90s terrorist attacks were just as bad if not worse. we had the ira blowing up cites the lockerbie pan am bombing in 1988

>>733733852

Yeah, 9/11, the increase in technology and the shift in music finished it off.

>>733733514
every generation says this.

i'm 37 and had a blast growing up in the 90's

i'm still having a blast now, nothing wrong with any time as long as you can just enjoy the shit you like and ignore the bullshit you don't.

every generation has the retards that just can't shut the fuck up and enjoy life.

>>733734048
This

we had 4 tv channels, one phone in the house and the internet was not even heard of

>>733734162
Nah. Our house had cable going back into the 70s.

>>733734048
hey same guy 38. yes i agree i have not really changed that much and still do everything i like the world is just a smaller place now and i tend to sleep more than i did then haha

>>733733483
Shut up fag you were 12 when the nineties ended. Your opinion is irrelevant

>>733724082
Dating sure as fuck was easier. Without cellphones, internet and social media, a relationship was much lower maintenance. You call each other on the telephone, plan dates, decide to do things based on little to no information, just talk or rumors you've heard. Trust was the most essential part of any relationship. Now it's all kinds of fucked up.

>>733733772
I was 12 when cobian died. Can confirm. Gutted

>>733734471
Yes exactly i miss that way of dating. writing a chicks number down then calling o the old house phone

>>733734368

>>733734608
Except you had to talk to their parents when you called

One thing i can tell you porn was shit. had to buy fap mags from the top shelf of shop or find old mags in the bushes and old vhs shit tapes. thank the lord for internet porn

>>733734765
lol, the dread when her dad picks up the phone

>>733734708
yeah, it had like two massive buttons on it

>>733724082

I was in my 20s in the 90s. Can confirm it was a much better time in many ways. Social media and PC bullshit has fucked everything up. I fear for kids growing up today.

>>733734972
we were good tho the old school way of getting laid. not snap chat or fb bollocks messaging

>>733734471

So true. And didn't have to worry about chicks researching the fuck out of you on social media, or employers.

>>733731455
The thing is that technology will never stop progressing. In the future, what we consider advanced now would be laugh-able trash.

>>733735215
The worst think about these times has to be social media

>>733724082
people used to interact with each other outside their own social circle, it made everyone be better people. now everyone is on phones and you could die in front of them and they wouldn't care.

this made me especially sad when i went back to college, graduated in 2011 and was in my late 20s, even with a <10 year age gap, i would try to talk to people while waiting for professors and stuff, and most ppl would just look at phones.

>>733731455
ha, "simpler life". I remember having to actually look information up in a BOOK. what a pain in the ass that was. How about getting directions to go somewhere new. Im not even talking about leaving the state, just going to a different area of your city. Life is constantly getting simpler, its the whinny cunts that cant deal with life and you bitches have been around forever. I most likely would not survive a global catastrophe, but if i did, i know i would be smiling knowing a whole shitload of bitch cunts got snubbed out.

>>733735351

has it ever occurred to you that the reason those videos were recorded was to catch the carefree fun moments and not show the everyday idiot moments where you make yourself look stupid in a sea of fucking idiot misfit closet homos on the internet?

>>733731455
Fuck man you're making me nostalgia hard for my childhood. Life is depressing now

>>733735352

Yea man, I remember just hanging out every night with my friends smoking weed and drinking beer around a big ass bonfires in the woods. Sometimes taking acid n shit. No phones, no distractions, just chillin with your friends, trying to hook up with the chicks or bang your friends chick. Those were the days....well actual, I spent the 2000's in a band playing gigs every weekend, smoking weed and drinking beer, girls throwing pussy at me and trying to bang my friends girls still. Just t9 texting on a flip phone. At least you young fags have smartphones at your young age getting nudes n shit from young sluts. Everything has its pros and cons.

>>733735860
lol, I remember many people saying that with phones getting smaller and smaller, they will eventually be watches or even earrings. Then we got color screens.

>>733735793
if they can't be bothered to keep in touch without facebook they are not your friends, let em go.

I was in my teens in the 80s. It had it's charm, but unfortunately AIDS ruined everyone's sex life for a long time. And then there was also Just Say No and the war on drugs.

That was around 84-86, by 88 the party was back on. Just buy a box of condoms and you were good to go.

The bad thing was the super bush that went to the taint the girls had and the taste of cigarettes when you kissed them.

>>733724082
I was a kid in the 80's and spent my teenage years in the 90's & yes, those decades were pretty awesome if you lived through them but I'm looking through the bias of being young & free in those days. Not everything was great: no worldwide online shopping; couldn't get movies/tv/music on demand unless you had a good source for pirated material; accessing information was a pain w/o the net; bullying was much more prevalent & tolerated in school; cold war tension; more racism - people were still assholes bit didn't have the wider web audience to spout off to & find acceptance from.
You've hinted at one of the main problems with today: as soon as everybody start accessing the internet in a social context, it allowed individuals to connect with people who shared their common (& often outsider) interests so everyone retreated to their own echo chambers & haven't left since.

You know. The creation of Internet and smart phones is a natural occurrence. there's always a leap in conscious evolution and this tech is going to be a big leap. Faster information, everyone knowing how everyone feels. Eventually it's going to turn into a society of people being able to communicate without any device. Think about how information sped up over the years. The final step it some sort of telekinesis.

as someone who probably had sex for the first time in 88.. we basically came into sexual maturity with people dying from sex, and people not knowing why. You could die from kissing someone. Or maybe using the same bathroom. No one fucking knew.

We grew up in the MAD world of an arms race with soviet union. I lived in cheyenne for a while, I would picture those ICBMs ripping up out of the flat grasses, off to end the world.

It was filled with fear and paranoia. We had escalating drug wars in the city. We had a government running illegal wars and death squads in latin america - by the time we hit the 90s, we were burnt the fuck out. Baby boomers were at their peak, fucking the world up, and we were going to inherit this burnt out shithole. acid rain. global warming. sex plagues. depression. The 90s were a reaction to that shit, from kids who grew up in that shit.

Born in 1974. Age 10-16 in the 80's. Life really was better. It was pretty much the last of the generations when not all families had to have two parents working just to survive, so there was more emphasis on family. I can remember where I lived it honestly didn't start feeling shitty until culture started to change. Rap became popular, affirmative action got unqualified shitty people good paying jobs, blacks started swarming into communities of blue collar middle class neighborhoods, and it was like a cancer of crime,drugs,gangs, and apathy just kept growing and multiplying. Sucks because I was raised completely opposite of racism, but life truly was better when things were more separate.

Yes. The one true great thing from the Internet. Instant fapping lol

90s was as great as mtv playing vids at important hours of music talking against the system and a life lack of sense

>>733736486
It was God's will

>>733737091
>Rap became popular
Rap was one of the best parts of the 90s, wtf is wrong with you

yeah, taking nudes of your GF in the 90s meant taking photos to wallmart to get them developed. It also meant she was basically a whore.

now if you don't have a collection of nudes out by the time you are 18, you might as well be a virgin

>>733736487
Your last paragraph is a very interesting point I'd not considered before and think you are most likely correct. All the information is curated on the internet and social media now: people "follow" who they want and choose what type of content that are exposed to which keeps everyone stuck in their own ways of thinking.

other things that sucked about the 90s:

>long distance phone call charges
>no email / internet for the first half of it. counterpoint - discovering email was amazing
>everyone getting rich but you
>picking up a heroin addiction

>>733737091

Born in 69. Can confirm.

>>733737043
Oh yeah, I forgot about the AIDS; that shit was a game-changer in the mid/late 80s.

>>733737351

Kek. I had a friend in the 90s that worked at a photo lab. He had stacks of customer's nudes he show us once and a while.

Yeah. Maybe it's because I miss my youth a bit but I think life was better back then. There was a real optimism for the future. Now that the future has arrived somewhat it seems shit. All this transsexual and gender rubbish. Music is all made by computers, but is boring as fuck. It doesn't have the upbeat nature of 90's electronica. A lot of things seem to have gone downhill.

>Rap became popular
Rap was one of the best parts of the 90s, wtf is wrong with you.....
90s rap WAS badass, the problem is the fact that it so heavily influenced the American culture as a whole. I mean for fucks sake, now kids can't even be kids without emulating some fucktard crack dealer rapper ....cashmeoussidehowbowdaa. The music led to pop culture which has ultimately made it uncool to be a decent person. That's all I meant.

>>733737243
I used to live in tacoma as well. It's a dirty place.

i took this picture in 1998 when i was visiting sf, i liked that city.

>>733737827
pretty funny. I just found a roll I shot back in like 96 - had some nudes of my GF - I had never developed it. Took it to some specialty photo lab, and they left me a nasty note after developing it. lol.

but at least I have a nude of the chick I was banging in 96.

>>733737935
ok, I can see that point. but is that any different from what "heavy metal" was like to my super christian parents who thought we were all going to be devil worshippers? Isn't that cute? "devil worshippers" lol.

>>733725226
This

>>733737530

Yeah. Everyone's in their own bubble now and aren't forced to expose themselves to other types of ideas/people. People just seek out other like minded people that can confirm everything they believe is 100% correct. We're more polarized now than I can remember.

70s/80s oldfag here

The problem I see is that so many people have substituted internet friendship for actual physical human interaction.

No doubt these social media devices are handy and convenient for certain tasks, but they shouldn't replace actual contact. For example, it takes a lot more guts to ask a girl out in person and face rejection in person, than to do the same over a text message. With a text message, you're basically talking to a machine.

And since people aren't building up courage and social skills, they aren't building up character and confidence. And so, they walk the earth knowing that they are weak in some important ways. The way many people compensate for weakness is to overact being tough. Thus, the asshole behavior.

Don't give up the cellphone. But use it sparingly, build up some social confidence, and surround yourself with like-minded people.

>>733738125
yeah, it was awesome while I was there. you know SF wasn't nearly as dirty in the early 80s. You can blame Reagan for some of that shit. cutting funds for the poor, booting people out of mental institutions, etc. totally fucked up SF with homeless people.

I didn't have internet until 2008 lived a poor life if it was for the lingerie models in the sears catalog i would of died.

>>733738016
I guess so. It's not as dirty as it used to be though. Also, with the way things are going, it might get dirtier, along with everywhere else.

>>733737091
So basically Niggers fucked shit up, not surprising, they fuck everything up

>>733737149
Fuck. MTV was the best. Music was great and the videos were creative and expressive. Now we have fucking unintelligible rappers with gold teeth and chains chimping out and repeating the same one line verse about how "Icey" their watches are. I want to go back.

>>733738264

>>733738130

Yeah, I remember taking a few rolls to the lab I shot of my buddies bachelor party, at which we hired a bunch of strippers. They came back with red warning stickers on the packs and they clerk was all excited and wanted to know all about the party.

Try going to a bar by yourself and leaving your phone at home. In the 90's if you were out of town or new to town you went to a bar and met people, talked to people. Now no one will talk to you bc their face is buried in a phone or you aren't on their friends list.

Hahahha devil worshippers......I get that, the difference is that the heavy metal kids were awkward and mouthy, but generally didn't hurt anyone. I was a shitty kid but I at least had enough of an upbringing that I came back around in the long run. I learned that I had to be creative and bust my ass to get ahead. The rap culture only teaches that it's okay to rob murder and wreak havoc cuz you feel like it.

>>733724082
One thing i miss about the 90s was mtv playing music videos. I loved that shit as a kid.

>>733738266
still nice to see a fellow washington anon

>>733737530
This aspect is what worries me most: a divided population that has no incentive to listen to different viewpoints or lacks the skills to be critical of information they are provided is much easier to conquer.

>>733738125

That's funny. I was there visiting a friend in the early 2000s and I saw the same thing, jeans on the sidewalk with the ass bloody and shitty.

>>733738353
MTV is the best a hell of a lot better now than back then when non rhythmic white men worshiped an imaginary satan and played music they stole from the black man and dressed like cuck fags.

The biggest difference between then and now, is that you actually had to put in effort to making connections with people. Either face to face or over the phone. You had to have a personality and be able to hold a conversation. Now no one has time for that. And it hurts all facets of our lives. People don't read books, hell they won't even read a long fb post or article or text message. People aren't as interesting as the used to be because back then you had to be interesting, you had to actually be intelligent because you couldn't just google a counterpoint to an argument, you had to know it.

>>733739784
TL;DR

>>733739987
I was expecting that

>>733740236
it had to be did.

1986-89 was the best for me, shit was better no one whined about he said this he said that, less government in your face no social media . America was AMAZING before twitter, and facebook. And there was no cultural appropriation bullshit

>>733741114
1986-89 was the best for me too. I got fed directly into my mouth, I didn't have to do literally anything, and I could shit whenever I wanted and someone else would clean it up for me

>>733724082
All I heard back then was, "man, the 60s/70s were so much better." You are alive today. It's the only time you will ever be alive. Make the best of it.

Do you still listen to 90's rap today? Does anyone? Of course not. Its shit. In the 80's MTV used to have a strict no rap policy which really just meant you had to be a musician to get on their Air. Know how to play a instrument or write music. then blacks started complaing about Muh racism and shit went down the toilet.

>>733741471
Can confirm rap has always been shit

>>733741881
>blacks started complaing about Muh racism

you gotta be fucking kidding me.

mtv has always played the most popular stuff, and it wasn't until suburban white kids started buying rap albums that mtv started playing it.

>>733742797
MTV wouldn't play Michael Jackson until the chairman of CBS Records threatened to pull all their other artists.

>>733743558
>the chairman of CBS Records

was he black?

or just looking to make a mint off a nigger?

Things which have fucked the worlld since the 90's.
- Facebook
- America going full retard after 9/11
- Selfies
- Twitter
- Political correctness and social justice
- Everyone suing everyone else for anything
- Meddling in the Middle East, something Russia couldn't win in 25 years of war
- Globalisation
- Amazon, where have all the little tax paying retailers gone?????
- Career politicians, they worry more about getting elected than looking after their country as PUBLIC SERVANTS.
- The prolification of pornography so that kids now grow up with it beamed into their house via the interwebs. Giving them fucked up ideas of sex.
- The media going full retard over interwebs paedos. Basically advertising paedophilia.

God damn right.
Just had a girl I was gonna marry. She's 20. I'm 32. Expects everyone to be nice and do good things but talks shit all the time starts drama and left because I wouldn't tolerate her scream queen antics. I got her pregnant first, god only knows why now.

First thing she did getting back home a few states away was claim she wanted me to join her there and try to convince me she was willing to be better.

She tells me in a 500 word essay that she slept with someone but she doesn't want to be with them.

How are people this deluded. I'm deluded as fuck thinking that anyone has any integrity left.

She has the nerve to say there's a reason why I've been with as many people as I have. I'm 32. I've slept with maybe 20 people. Fuck this life.

She goes on to say she just "let the guy sleep with me" and that she "didn't want to or even want to kiss him". Like the fuck. You trying to say he raped you?

She claims her first bf raped her too. I'm thinking that was a load of shit. I'm over it.
At least I'll have another me running around soon enough. I hope the little demon tears through her spine.

People have become evil. I miss the 90's. I don't even mind that I was abused as a child anymore. It's whatever. I'd take that abuse over this garbage any day. At least people said they were sorry after a 3 hour beating.

Now it's just a lot of manipulative gaslighting bullshit. Don't judge me while I'll talk shit about you and your whole crew mentality.

Spoiled brats need to be beat. That's all there is to it.
