I miss the 90s

The Raptor

It was the best decade.

I got a cheap Chinese knock off on the game boy with loads of games. Spent all evening playing Tetris.

I really miss the 90s.

Bring back the Walkman and the buttoned up pants. And the denim jackets.

The Walkman was from the early-mid 80s in the rest of the world.

These days you can get the actual Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, NES, SNES, Megadrive, Playstation, N64 and Gamecube with all the games downloaded to your computer in an evening.

You mean the Discman. That was from the 80's too.

Did you know that if That 70s Show were to start now with the same time gap it would be set in 1995?

But you lose all the excitement of waiting to finally get that computer and the games you wanted.

The only thing I miss about the 90's was kids TV shows. Animaniacs, the original Power Rangers, Kenan and Kel, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Dexter's Laboratory, Taz-Mania, Ren and Stimpy, Freakazoid, and many more.

Atoms for Peace

Joe blogs and dock martins.

I feel it as well.

Asking the transition year students on work experience, do they know what a Walkman is. I was told their dad had one.

Like seriously, there are people who never used it?

I used to love duck tales. Though that could be late 80s?

I recently had to explain to my dad that scart leads aren't really a thing anymore when he couldn't hook his video player up to his new TV...

I reached adulthood at the end of the 80s but the 90s were cool too from 90 to at least 97. Got **** after that.

Personally my feeling is that nothing happened in the 90's.

The 00's had smartphones.

Lots of changes in the 80's. And previous decades.

Your sarcasm is unfunny.

That is the decade they were most popular in this country, by miles. Hope this helps.

Edit - your edit is even worse. Don't take up comedy full time.

Pill poppers are even more boring.

I hit my twenties in the mid 90's. I did pills. It's not much of an achievement.

Granted I was still a kid in the 90's, but didn't the real rave and pill scene happen in the late 80's, and the people who go into it in the 90's were just bandwagon-jumpers?

I was only 10 but I remember it well

Also remember John Aldridge losing it to get on the pitch against Mexico. I think when he finally did get on, he scored a goal.

I'd take the second half of the 80s and the first half of the 90s. When house music and techno emerged, ambient house etc. and it was all so new and exciting.

Started for me in the late 80s. Acid House parties at club on Tottenham Court Road in London.

Yes. Nothing original happened in the 90's. Amazing number of my age group don't get that.
