Fuck yeah it was. Those were the days when you'd get the shit kicked out of you if you acted stupid or out of line. Faggots were made fun of by the mainstream, acting like a whore was looked down on unless you were madonna.

Music was better, food was better, air quality was better. Niggers were stuck in their inner city ghettos, spics were still in mexico.

saturday morning cartoons were still around and violent.

in the 80's and 90's nobody gave a fuck what color, gender (there were only 2), or sexual orientation you were. i mean honestly the huxtables were role models, for christ's sake.

>>132308872

80's and 90's was only good if you were adult and able to benefit for it. Being a child of the 80's and a teen of the 90's just made reality all the more shitty to see how easy it use to be.

We traded it all, the whole american dream, so that fags could make out in public and shitskins could have welfare in a country foreign to them...as well as giving china a middle class at the expense of ours...but hey...more libtard voters and feels!

There was none of this political leftist bullshit you see everywhere today. There was no 23 gender nonsense, no promoting of chopping off your dick.

Thats when it all started going in to this twilight zone-esque bullshit you see today.

Movies, music and tv were better for sure but it was kind of a rough time. Feminism was already several decades deep and I and most of my friends came from broken or dysfunctional homes. And with no internet there was no way to find out what was going on.

rollerblading and skateboarding on the streets were a viable option for entertainment. then the french jews bought all the asphalt companies and put down BUMP as fuck roads on purpose.

Yes they were. 80s was America back on top again. For the first time since the 50s, you felt more pride to be an american than ever before. That's thanks to Reagan in some part. Technology was growing big time too. It was great times. Even the pop music was good!

The 90s, oh man. The last time we felt true freedom. Like the 80s and Reagan, Clinton defined the 90s. This was an amazing period. Kids still got to be kids and older kids and adults got to get on the internet while it was brand new and untamed. 90s were my favorite time ever. I'd kill to go back.

>>132311893
The internet.

>>132312636
Fuck yeah man. And scooters came around in the late 90s too which were good times. But razorblading was the best.

>>132308872

No, not really.
The hippie generation took power and became the most corrupt generation to exist. Everything they do is corruption, absolutely everything. They don't seem to be able to help it. Even when they are trying to be good they're scum.

I think, because i wasn't there, in the 50's 60's countries were more nationalistic. Each country had an identity which they were happy with. In the 70's things started to turn to the worst as feelings took over as the dominant force as it reached it's extreme, the idea that if it feels right then it must be a good thing. It was a stark contrast to the culture of the time so it was seen as teenagers being teenagers and left to it's own devices. The 80's these people started to take power, the idea of protecting the minority for a righteous cause was seen as something which feels good. In the 90's these ideas started to take a footing in society as the norm and the flood gates opened. Now were left defenseless against them.

The push back will be brutal, I don't want to be around when it happens.

Cobain was all emo, all the time.

I had a shitty life, but I knew that whining about it wasn't going to get me anywhere. It can't and never does.

He wasn't even genuine about it. That's what killed him in the end. Once he got the fame, he realized he liked parts of it. His whole emo, lefty, 'fuck the man' belief system was exposed, and he himself, through his success, was the cause.

honestly a lot of that period is a blur. out of the army in '86, fucked off til college in '89. lots of recreational chemicals may have hindered my ability to remember.
what I do know is there were much fewer niggers here, no mexicans, you didn't need to have a gun on you at all times, cops were more lenient and didn't drive mine-proof armored trucks, you didn't have to get raped to get on a plane.. so yes it was a better time so long as you didn't listen to too much of the music.

It was basically the peak of the Australian empire. We had defeated emu materialism. The Millennial Gen was in its teens. There was massive prosperity.

Also seems like computers and smart phones hadn't started eroding social life yet. There were less rules overall. Less surveillance. Less tracking. Less regulation. Less PC bullshit. Multicultural dystopia hadn't yet destroyed much of Europe and the US. The level of immigrants we had then had actually been absorbed into the economy.

Also, things were cheaper. Cigs, beer, groceries, all seemed so much cheaper than today.

It truly was a good time to be alive.

Anyone citing the early 90's as great are either;

A. Nostalgia fags

B. Had a real affinity for weirdness (probable given this is 4chan)

C. REALLY fucking hate modern progressivess

The early 90's were not a great time. That was when violent crime peaked, and there was a recession that compounded the first effects of """"globalization"""""

it's not nostalgia, can't you guys see culture has changed?

after the modernist period, cutural development was no longer society wide, or organised, rather we entered into a subcultural mode of organisation.

think of terms like punk, grunge, metal, rock, folk, indy, etc etc. the reason these things are 'ironic' is that they're symbolic markers of organised groups, like memes or nations or religions, they have to be resonate, or else nobody would've been interested in joining or maintaining the subculture. the whole culture was a process of people inventing new oool things, a culture starting, then jews getting wind of it and trying to make it as marketable as possible, leading to watering down and loss of 'interesting' status, leading to a bleed of what made it originally good to be a part of (i.e. distinctive traits, originality & barriers to entry, meaning it felt cool.)

the 00s and 10s were when this process broke down (no idea why) and we entered into an atomised mode of functioning. things don't seem 'real' or iconic anymore because there really isn't particularly anything that needs to be ironic, just sort of marketable. when people look back on this period i'm very sure they'll see it as totally horrible. perhaps meme cultures like 4chan or reddit are the way out, though.

Don't get me wrong - Shit after 9/11 is a whole different kettle of fish. In fact, lots of the culture NOW seems like an amplified version of the early 90's. The early 90's were when PC progressiveism started taking root - But back then it was mocked and derided.

Also the early 90's were obviously quickly followed by the late 90's tech boom and the internet which made a massive impact. I don't see anything like that on the horizon.

I remember back in the early 2000's people saying;

>Don't worry, when we get to the late 2000's, thing will flip again

Except they just got worse. Which is a bad sign.

>>132331688
this is pretty deep actually

>>132331851
You need to understand that 9/11 was the functional end of the world, and the fumes of the "end of history" ran out by the middle of the 2000's. What this means is that the inertia of Western Civilization finally ran out and uncoincidentally this is right when shit like gay marriage triumphed. The reason everything feels like utter shit is because the world has lost its center. We've fully become swallowed by nihilism and things that once gave society direction and purpose like religion no longer influence enough people to matter. The spirit of gravity is drowning us and we'll die if we don't do something about that.

Western civilization is dead. Our only purpose now is to avenge it and ensure something better than this jewish modernist hellscape replaces it.

Not to say that's all there is to it, but I've heard many a boomer in my town talk about how the crime was non-existent and we had a high trust community before blacks, Mexicans, their gangs, and Filipinos settled in in the 90's. Fast forward to today and everywhere is feeling the effects of diversity.

I'd say no, Bill Clinton was President, raping woman taking bribes from the Chinese and Hillary was out murdering Vince Foster. it was the Clinton's that gave the U.S. Globalism, Trump politically destroying them is the greatest gift he gave the American people, may they burn in hell.

I just remember people being closer and much happier than they are today. Whenever I reminisce about the 90's, I don't think about all the retarded, meaningless distractions like cartoons, I think back on the relationships I fostered and all the good times I had. I can still remember my friends and I hanging out at the local skating rink/arcade. We'd play pool and arcade classics like Pacman and Galaga. We'd laugh at all the people who had trouble skating. All the while the DJ played tunes from Rush and Sugar Ray.

These days it's just a nigger hangout.

People tend to overrate then 90s as a whole. 90-95 were fantastic years, but the decade began to decline in about 96. The late 90s weren't that good at all tbph.

'96 was definitely when everything went wrong.

I suppose it depends where you live/lived

Here in London there seemed to be less street crime, or at least there were less shitskins around, that much I can be certain of. Also the rich Arabs and Russians hadn't moved in, buying up a shitload of property here causing house prices to go through the roof, along with the massive influx of Eastern Europeans and more paki immigrants thanks to Tony Blair's Labour.

It also was easy to get put in council housing even if you were a white male NEET and didn't have kids (not that I did this, but i have mates who did). You'd have no fucking chance of making it off the waiting list these days, with so many immigrants and single mums automatically placed above you.

London was fucking glorious in the 90s compared to what it is now.

Old fag here. I answer this question by using 1994/95 as a cut off date for when the interwebz became easily accessible to the general public. Prior to this, information was limited to what was in the library, the bookshop and what the mainstream media told you. The difference is, prior to 1994/95 we were all blisfully ignorant because the amount of time spent searching for information and the lack of alternative sources of information discouraged alot of people to question the narrative that the establishment was presenting, this sort of questioning was usually done by academics. Fast forward 20+ years and no longer are the academics questioning the narrative the establishment are presenting, they're promoting it!!! Now it's your average man on the street who is questioning the narrative simply because of forums such as this and the massive amount of information available within a few clicks of an internet search result, it's amazing when you think about it. However in answer to your question anon, if I had to choose, I'd still prefer to live in the moment than in the past, simply because men like us, men who can think for themselves, will change history, whereas prior to 1994/95 we would have been blisfully ignorant or raging against something the rest of society was oblivious to.

Actually Britain was distinct in that they weren't doing as bad as other places during the recession and were having a positive/upbeat cultural boom, while the U.S. and Australia and others were mired in grunge and other miserable shit. Your crime had already peaked and was tailing off and The Troubles were coming to a close.

this

Globalisation and the rise of mobile/Internet technologies did ao much more harm to our societies than most people would care to admit. This all shifted into 'overdrive' in the latter half of the 90s.


Around late 1990s, especially after 9/11, this nation went to complete SHIT.

Soros' Metropolis Project from 1996 invited the 3rd world army to rape and pillage of the 1st world.

It just seems this way because SU fell apart, China was still a weak as fuck and you were unopposed for that entire decade so you have created this myth of a golden age for yourselves.

Not really anon, I'm 41. We were told if we did the right thing and went to University and got a degree then opportunities for social advancement would be open to us, but in reality it's the complete opposite. The only people who get ahead here in Australia are the dropkicks who speculate in the property market and one's who know how to use loopholes or outright abuse the system for financial benefit, you're an absolute cuck if you do the right thing and play by the rules.

I honestly had no idea what was going on in other Anglo countries at that time; completely oblivious to just how good we apparently had it. I think most people were the same desu, shame really, we might have preserved some of it had we known what we had. Hindsight's a wonderful thing, as they say.

When whites do it it's usually deserved
When niggers do it it's because they outnumber you, it's rarely because you deserve it.

Their is a gang of nogs that sell drugs in the centre of my city, they offer you drugs, you go down an ally to pay. They beat you up and take your money, they only sell drugs to the people who could smash their heads together. I once thought I'd try it, they tried selling me sugar in a bag, i laughed and didn't pay. Fucking scum

The 80s and 90s seemed better. No 9/11, no mass immigration yet, no refugees, and optimism without the financial crisis. But I guess they had their own problem.

Sure. Not everyone was dying of diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's and committing suicide. Not everyone was obese or carrying an epipen. Boys were boys girls were girls.

Imagine a world in which people with idiotic ideas such as white privilege etc are generally made fun of. There were no easily accessible echo chambers in their pockets in which the could retreat into to reinforce their stupidity.

Social media has given the stupid of the world an incredibly easy way to connect, and a global fucking soapbox.

No, it is nostalgia dipshit.

When you experienced the 90's as a child, the culture was irrelevant to you, politcal correctness was irrelevant to you. So, yes, it is just nostalgia, because the 90's weren't as great as you think they were.

Hot chicks all over the place being everyone was thinner. The state with the highest BMI number back in 1990 STILL had a lower number than the thinnest state does now. I mean think about that for a while. The fastest state in 1990 was still thinner then the best in shape state now.

The down side of the 80-90 is that the cars just kind of sucked. Early smog laws just gutted the cool 60-70s cars and pretty much ever car back then was more or less low HP trash. The tech sucked but that's a perspective issues really. Everyone thought the tech at the time was cool.

The biggest difference is as others have already touched on, there as not this pussy echo chamber online. Where every SJW is given their own private hug box. Odds are the 90s where the last of the gens where kids could just be kids. You could screw up as a kid, get in a fight or do something stupid and not get kicked out of school over it.

like for example most bully issues stopped being at some point you grew and either kicked your bullies ass or they knew you might be tempted too.. Kids could still ride their bikes all over town and did. Looping back to the first issues, of not everyone being a monster fat fuck who gets winded walking 20 feet.

This nostalgia thread needs some vaporwave, methinks.

What I miss from the 80s in France is the music, really. Nowadays all you find on the radio is niggers singing senseless rap songs and modifying their voices so they sound like fags.

^ this

In the 80's I thought nothing more would change as I grew into a teenager. My city, my environment had evolved as far as it was going to go. Man was I wrong.

>>132311893

People started getting soft, and tolerating bullshit SJWs, instead of laughing at them and telling them to get fucked like we used to.

From there, it was a slippery slope. Not only that, but people started wanting more, whilst doing less.

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, you wanted something, you busted your arse for it. If companies wanted decent sales, they had to have a decent product, not this mass produced, mass marketed plastic shit you see these days.

Seriously, I don't wanna sound like a massive nostalgiafag, but quite a lot of things were better back then than they are now.

Really feel sorry for my kids growing up now, cause back then, if people had a problem with each other, they would have a 1 on 1 fight, get shit sorted, then everything would be sweet. These days, you even cough the wrong way around someone, it's a hate crime....

everything felt comparatively normal because the internet, with its benefits, has also made everything weird.

>>132311399
It should have ended then

>>132312636

At least now, there are more skateparks around.

At least us Aussies have it better than you burgers when it comes to skating - we usually only get told to fuck off and move along by the cops, whereas you guys get arrested.

>>132331002

>and crime was through the roof

Maybe if you were a faggot westy in Sydney, or lived in Frankston in Vic, but everywhere else wasn't bad crime wise.

Shit, most places, everyone knew each other, and if and random cunts got out of line and tried stealing shit, they'd cop a flogging from the locals, then would cop another flogging by the cops before the cops wrote em up.

And it worked. People knew where the line was, and also knew if they crossed it, they knew what was coming.

These days, cops need to treat crims with kid gloves, and the legal system is fucked. Judges don't have the balls to deal harsh punishments.

Society is fucked these days.

Ok as I remember, as soon as Cobain died MTV changed radically. Grunge was suddenly "Dead" and MTV went into full rap mode and the political agenda changed as well.

Now we know the power of propaganda now, but back then before everyone was on the internet and even then we were at some slower than dogshit speeds.

Clinton was in office, and there were radio shows blasting out illuminati warnings and the rise of the NWO. (Check out Art Bell and Hour of the Time - Willam Cooper)

Race relations and the political landscape really began heading downhill rapidly at this point. Bubble burst in the market, 9/11 and we had NO IDEA G.W.Bush was a closet globalist, in fact the idea of globalism was just people bitching about how bad the UN was.

I believe the attack on the US societal fabric had begun back then, and it all started when they said Cobain died and Rock died with him.

>>132348104

FYI not blaming the current situation on Cobain or MTV. But the paradigm change in the way things were in the USA definitely kicked in around then. Like they were waiting for the tragedy to start the march to what we have today.

Take note that the boom of conspiracy radio started in the early 90's as well.

>>132312026
yes it was, but people weren't little pussies where when you look at them the wrong way and they instantly go crying to the daddy government for protection.

>>132348104
As ridiculous as you put it, I actually agree to a point.
Cobain summarized the un-stable folk who could get rid of a great deal of his issues by playing music and effectively finding a release.
Him shooting himself coinciding with how he was a beacon for whatever reason in the media (see: attractive to young girls) meant that all the queers and genuine attention seekers thought they'd have to up the ante if they wanted to get "noticed".

That said I think the world halted on 9/11 when America failed to go on damage control within their own country.
England also effectively losing "freedom of speech" in 2008 or so, also effectively ruined a great deal.
