the 90s were the perfect bridge between modern society and everything that came before the 90's, right in the sweet spot

alot of the shyt that gets referenced or make people feel nostalgic comes from the 90s because it was a boom period for everything - movies, tv shows, gaming, etc.

90's birthed alot of GOAT tier shyt

the 90s was teeming with creativity and fukkery,

the shyt just felt magical, not because I was a kid either. all the dopamine bursts you get from tik tok, and the internet in general... well we got that from being outside around actual people in the arcades, or out in the neighborhood....shyt even school was lit as fukk. human interaction was so much more chill and open, their wasnt all this tension, and going on witch hunts and shytty people actually got shamed and checked on the spot. Society wasnt the powder keg it is now. People, for the most part, were perfectly contempt going about their lives without much of a problem. The shyt was just...

My childhood was dope. Simpler times man

after looking through this thread I googled Christmas catalogs and found this. All the JC Penny and Sears catalogs

Catalogs & Wishbooks

Best time of my life

 

[#1 pick]

Had a SNES, Ps1, Saturn, and n64 all at the same time

The pinnacle of gaming and graphics upgrades from previous gen in that decade

I had everything except for OG NES and SNES.

I grew up silver spoon gang in an all white neighborhood. Never got jacked until college when my dorm roommate (purposely) left the door unlocked and I got got for my Dreamcast. At that point though the system was already 5 years old so I just wrote it off, moved out to an apartment of my own, and kept it moving.

I got got for my PS2 in college when I went out of town. They got my throwbacks too.

The commercials hyped up the toys like crazy.

They still do, I watch nick with my kid. They still overhype toys

I loved going to Toys R Us and shopping for my kids for Christmas. I hate that experience is gone now.

I used to be the kid with 20 of them yellow tags but knowing I ain't gonna do shyt with them because my dad gonna say no

it was a tan color boy, I’m guessing it was the darkest they had. Now that I’m looking at the box , it looks like it was geared for little boys

You probably my sister age. 30. Damn, a nikka old

I had everything except for OG NES and SNES.

Both still sitting in my attic and I bet if I fired them bytches up they would get right to work. shyt built in the 80’s and 90’s was made to fkn last forever.
