Was life better before 9/11? I was too young at the time to really remember much

About the same. I mean we had Desert Storm so it's not like invading iraq was new territory

Mid/Late 90s were cool but it felt like we hit a cultural plateau. Movies were awesome, music was as trashy as it is now.

I remember 2002-07 being heavy metal aggression and bloodthirsty thanks to our wars in the ME. March-May 2003 were my favourite months of the 2000s.

Good times.

Yeah, travelling was alot more fun. You could bring your own food into the airport

Nothing was ever better at anytime ever.

it was the golden age

not, no really not in any way shit posting

What is a leopard?

If you lived in one of the larger cities, chances are crime was more rampant before then. Street crime was a large focus of the politicians before 9/11 happened, then throughout the 2000s gang culture faded away and was more localized to places like Chicago and Los Angeles. A lot of the kids nowadays say that gang violence doesn't exist anymore but that's just because they weren't around to see it. It's not nearly as bad as it was in the 80s and 90s but it's still around despite what some people, namely liberals might have to say.

>t. Someone who's parents were both gangbangers

>March-May 2003 were my favourite months of the 2000s.

who thinks like this

Yeah Republicans really fucked us over

glued to the TV watching the invasion of Iraq as a teenager. I remember watching the balkinsation of yugo but I didn't remember it well. Too busy playing outside.

crime was more or less the same here.

This. Checked.

There wasn't quite the level of fatalism we have now in the 90s.
It wasn't expected that we'd always be at war somewhere. The USSR had fallen, there were still two genders, most people had just stopped giving a shit about race or gender at all...
Twas a good time

oh no that guy is not a goat hearder

ya hearder m8

I would say so. I mean, postmodernism and post-structuralism was fucking retarded, but we were 75% White and all the faggot bullshit about identity politics and race had to be circulated in print instead of click-bait daily internet reporting bullshit from Vox, The Atlantic and the Washington Post. We were edging our way into "White hegemony" faggotry but by-and-large minorities were treated like they had moral agency instead of liberals self-flagellating themselves over "muh oppressed peoples" and "muh marginalized communities."

Leaf post.

>was more localized to places like Chicago and Los Angeles

LA isn't as bad anymore because the niggers got priced out to Houston, Dallas or new Orleans

based nigger

It was okay...
If your definition of "okay" is lying in bed completely comfy playing Pokemon Snap on your 24 inch CRT until 5:00 pm where you would go out in the neighborhood and play flashlight tag with all of the other kids to wake up the next day and go to school and have to use a quarter to buy a badass shiny pencil from the pencil machine because you forgot to bring yours only to find out that it's actually a snow day so you get to go home and watch dragon ball z all day while talking to your friend on the corded phone in you room and afterwards browsing stick flash animations on Newgrounds which take 5 minutes to load because of shitty dial up internet but its okay because to pass the time you could listen to burnt copies of the latest The Offspring album while reading issues of Nintendo power and collecting POGs to trade for Crazy bones at school the next day all before having your mom call you downstairs to let you eat a piece of cookie dough before she bakes some cookies after which she asks if you want to go to blockbuster to rent a new vhs and n64 game during which time she'll let you pick out your favorite candy and drink.

This wasn't invented yet, so no.

Get the fuck out of board kid reeeeeeeeeee

Houstonian here, we fucking hate LA for that very reason.

We don't want your shitty commiefornians.

It provided the excuse to invade Afghanistan which heralded the refugee crisis. You fucking tell me if it was a better time.

Fucking retards lose 2k civvies then flatten a country killing countless muzzie civvies and start wondering why every muzzie on Earth now want them dead. We even lost more allied troops in that shitfest than there were death in 9/11

Social media fucked up life more than 9/11

Our only problems were the ones we made for ourselves. Nobody knew the truth of the evil of Islam yet.

They're all in the antelope valley
Fuck you

There was also no TSA. You literally brought your ticket and walked straight to the terminal. Watch TV shows and movies made before 2001, it was a common thing for them to show loved ones saying goodbye at the terminal.

Houston is what hell would be if it was damp, fuck you too

Way better

Cable internet/ high bandwidth fucked everything up

Back in the day the internet was slow and people got bored waiting for shit to load, so they went outside and did more stuff

...

...

It was hell here but now it's hell with dindus you socialistic piece of shit, you sent the demons here.

I didn't do shit, I was serving overseas. Sorry my legislature did tho. Well not really. I fucking hate texans, Texas is the only thing they talk about.

...

I used to access the internet (mostly for email) through a modem you clipped on the back of a Palm V PDA.

...

this made me kek. boondocks of palmdale and lancaster are not places i want to be by myself at night

A little. The marxist shit was there, but it wasn't as prevalent in pop culture and most of us were less aware of it in general.
