    20+ years of The fcuking Spenglers would be somehow less insufferable.

    The internet and mobile phones were only becoming mainstream towards the late 90's. I miss the freedom you felt without them. No "where are u" texts or useless Facebook updates.

    That 90's spirit is easily recaptured by refusing to have a facebook account and by not replying to chatter texts.
