you can travel around the us w/o a passport so I guess people saw no need for them
Only 4% of Americans owned a passport in 1990

Yeah international travel laws were probably a bit looser back then but it been a requirement to have a passport when leaving the US since 1941
It just doesn't compute
Fake "c*ntry" Understand why you would travel to real countries

Expensive as fukk.. Wasn't a lot of competition.. Wasn't any low price websites for any of it, cause there was no internet. So you couldn't even go online and SEE a pic of brazil. You literally had to go to a library or some shyt to read about why you'd want to spend $5000 to go
These the nikkas with the loudest opinion on shyt though nikkas who never seen the world Pre 9/11 realize that these muthafukks will be running the country one day and realize the dire situation we are in

Dont quote me on this
but I believe you didnt need a passport except for international flights (plus proof of vaccinations
)
i could be wrong but I believe air travel has gone up a tremendous amount since then as well as a whole
more people drove then. Gas was $1
could drive to LA or Vegas on like $20 from SF
now you get spammed with $60 flights from southwest every morning if you book far enough in advance, which is cheaper than driving at that point and way more convenient/less time consuming
plus as others mentioned , 9/11
not just passport wise, vacation as a whole was different prior to social media even in the 90s. Families had no issue staying at Motel 6, Holiday Inn or Resident inns. Now you tell someone youre staying there you might as well tell them you smoking crack as well. Stigmas a mafukka in this day and age

We already know the situation dire
before 9/11 you didn't need a passport to go over the border and back lol.
i'd be surprised if the % is over 14 now tho lol.
most people in america don't leave their region, let alone their country.

I think IG played a big role in the new travel craze among avg. people. It’s become a status symbol like a Benz or watch. And a really cheap one at that.Passport shaming wasn't a thing yet since the lines between the haves and have nots were more clearly defined.
Also a good chunk of those is likely dual-nationals and naturalized citizens.
There wasn’t really a way to Telegraph your foreign endeavors when people still had pagers and email was futuristic
