Back in the 90’s...
- Not everyone needed to be able to be contacted 24/7. Only doctors and d-boys had pagers let alone cellphones.
- You were not an expert on something just because you researched it online. Couldn’t talk about it if you ain’t live it.
- You were bound to the social circles of your surroundings.
- People were more humble because no one was a virtual celebrity. Even rappers were visibly and audibly broke on their debut albums.
- Porn was not easily accessible and porn had a taboo outside of hormonal teenagers. Only fat ugly losers were into porn if they were over 21.
- There was much more privacy. Now, everybody feels like somebody’s watching them... and they’re right. No one seems to care that privacy is dead because of Google, smartphones etc.
- People naturally stayed in their own lane. Outside of a cringey year or two when Marky Mark and Vanilla Ice were the norm and Eminem later in the decade, cacs didn’t try to act black or hood. There were different lanes for black men too, conscious like Brand Nubian, fly regular guy from the hood like Will Smith, gangsta like Snoop, somewhat nerdy like the Pharcyde and De la Soul etc.

The stigma around weed
Online dating was considered lame
If you was dating a girl she’d tell other guys that shes “talking” to someone
Everyone had a weed man (no dispos)
Guns didnt have extensions
Jordans were still exclusive

That young people had more respect for their elders in the 90s . 
Don't let these new old heads (meaning gen x and early millennials) fool you.
There was probably more juvenile delinquency in the 90s compared to today, despite what social media will tell you. You barely even see kids mobbing outside these days getting into "activities".
Although there are things that were taboo back then are pretty much accepted or normal these days.

Life is OK without phones and internet. You won't die.
There was a stigma on homosexuality well into the 90s. Words like fakkit were used all the time.

When boomers saw they could keep track of folks and demand more out of people with these cell phones it was over.
Their parents were not like that, but they seem to forget about all of that. GenZ doesn't even know a world without these phones.
