The 90s were a long time ago...

The 90s ended less than 30 years ago

When “Back in the day” for us use to mean 1995/96, now it means 2003/2005 and you’ll get the same effect.

The same thing will happen in 2028 when we’ll start reminiscing on 2015/2016.

Time is weird.

Funny OP brought up smoking inside. My pops used to smoke with us in the car with the windows up


The OGs stayed smoking inside. Family get togethers the adults would all light up right at the dining room table after they ate. Restaurants still had smoking sections when I was like 20

Have y’all heard the conspiracy theory that time is moving faster?

Wouldn’t that make clocks slower?

You ever watch a regular, mid budget film that was made and set in the late 90s recently? When you look at the environment, the scenes, the big booty TVs and flip phones being cutting edge tech, the clothing, the style and all of that it makes you realize exactly how much has shifted in the decades inbetween.

We truly are on the cusp of the future as a collective in this moment and that raw, dingy, grimy (that was leaps and bounds above the levels of the 80s with its harsh realities and aggressive content) aesthetic of the 90s is very unsanitized in comparison to now. Even things like people smoking inside bugged me out as it used to be so commonplace and now smoking in general is looked at like a relic. Interestingly it reminded me a lot of Demolition Man as that seems like a probable outcome to this path for the next stage of the Game with a very docile populace ruled by corporate interests that scared them into feeling safe.


Us 80s babies have lived through one of the most interesting shifts in the world and its crazy how primitive things seem when you contrast it to future tech like where your grandkids will have their iPhone embedded directly in their iris complete with neural links to the always on net.

The Game, mayne. The Game. It really is something else... And it has you, my friend. You just don't realize it yet.

Watch this if you're genuinely perplexed OP and it'll make more sense

Thread is partially correct.

Things like cars, TVs, computers clearly look ancient from the 90s,but alot of atuff is the same.

You can watch a movie like say Home Alone and not notice too much that seems old.

Altho, if cell phones existed, that movir never happes. Lol

“Big booty TV” is insane.

What made you go with that verse, breh?

Protip: The developers put in a hidden indicator in the background for each fight that lets the player know when you can instantly KO an opponent. For Tyson I think it’s a quick camera flash.
