Were the late 80's and early to mid 90s really a better time to live in? Any stories or reasons as to why?

yes

more white people

After the failure to push the US over the edge in the late 60s and 70s, social degeneracy retreated back to the "tolerance" stage.

Also the 'blue-collar middle class' still existed.

Fpbp

is RiFF RAFF a closet white supremacist trying to destroy nigger "culture" by taking it to its ridiculous, logical extreme?

acted like a bitch and you were treated like a bitch. no whiney racism bullshit or safe spaces.. you acted like an idiot you were treated like an idiot.. You could make fun of retards and fat people.. You whined you got punched in the face and nobody called the cops like pussies

Did he really fuck Katy Perry?

Yes

Fewer pussys

Fuck yeah it was. Those were the days when you'd get the shit kicked out of you if you acted stupid or out of line. Faggots were made fun of by the mainstream, acting like a whore was looked down on unless you were madonna.

Music was better, food was better, air quality was better. Niggers were stuck in their inner city ghettos, spics were still in mexico.

saturday morning cartoons were still around and violent.

I have no idea because I wuz born in 1995, but white identity seemed to still be at the forefront

Any Moz pilled cunts in the house?

I can only imagine being able to hit the local mall and cinema on a Saturday night with the family. Now the mall is rampant full of niggers trying to fight people, same with the movies

in the 80's and 90's nobody gave a fuck what color, gender (there were only 2), or sexual orientation you were. i mean honestly the huxtables were role models, for christ's sake.

80's and 90's was only good if you were adult and able to benefit for it. Being a child of the 80's and a teen of the 90's just made reality all the more shitty to see how easy it use to be.

We traded it all, the whole american dream, so that fags could make out in public and shitskins could have welfare in a country foreign to them...as well as giving china a middle class at the expense of ours...but hey...more libtard voters and feels!

Whiter, money went farther, lower rents and housing costs. You knew things were tanking, though.

MTV used to have rock videos.
No Rap Music

Truer words have never been spoken. Same generation here.

what is yo mtv raps?

youtube.com/watch?v=iey0VOhxV2Y&

No LGBTBBQ
No Muslims
No Mexicans
Few Asians

Yeah it was way better

MTV was the best channel

When it wasn't playing awesome videos Beavis and butthead, liquid television or Aeon Flux was on

The world was supposed to end at midnight, January 1st, 2000. It didn't happen and the last 17 years have just been a letdown since.

The list can go on for fucking ever..

There was none of this political leftist bullshit you see everywhere today. There was no 23 gender nonsense, no promoting of chopping off your dick.

People were for the US, instead of wanting to destroy it by letting in immigrants and refugees.

also, better:
>games
>tv
>music

life was just better.

what happened where did it go wrong?

Do you guys remember MTV unplugged?

>I was a child during this time period and therefore remember nothing bad about it.
Millennials need to leave.

>You whined you got punched in the face and nobody called the cops like pussies
im pretty sure assault was still illegal in the 90s.

>when your gay childhood nostalgia kicks in

No, 1950's and 60's were
Those were the times when music was actual music and black people being based and not being your average nig today.

where do you think you are?

No dude. People used to get the shit kicked out of them, No cops, no lawsuits.

Im guessing (((they))) kicked in their plan in the early 2000s, Especially when Obama came in to office.

Thats when it all started going in to this twilight zone-esque bullshit you see today.

Movies, music and tv were better for sure but it was kind of a rough time. Feminism was already several decades deep and I and most of my friends came from broken or dysfunctional homes. And with no internet there was no way to find out what was going on.

rollerblading and skateboarding on the streets were a viable option for entertainment. then the french jews bought all the asphalt companies and put down BUMP as fuck roads on purpose.

People used to live without Air conditioning

what are you a fucking boomer?

If you think the 90s were as bad as it is now, then I dont want what your smoking.

Alan Greenspan

That's not a good thing. Or are you some retard who thinks that assault is only bad when niggers do it?

> when the little 20 something millennial gets butt hurt because he's in a shitty time line.

Ahh
The smiths have saved my life more than I count

Yes they were. 80s was America back on top again. For the first time since the 50s, you felt more pride to be an american than ever before. That's thanks to Reagan in some part. Technology was growing big time too. It was great times. Even the pop music was good!

The 90s, oh man. The last time we felt true freedom. Like the 80s and Reagan, Clinton defined the 90s. This was an amazing period. Kids still got to be kids and older kids and adults got to get on the internet while it was brand new and untamed. 90s were my favorite time ever. I'd kill to go back.

The internet.

Fuck yeah man. And scooters came around in the late 90s too which were good times. But razorblading was the best.

No, not really.
The hippie generation took power and became the most corrupt generation to exist. Everything they do is corruption, absolutely everything. They don't seem to be able to help it. Even when they are trying to be good they're scum.

I think, because i wasn't there, in the 50's 60's countries were more nationalistic. Each country had an identity which they were happy with. In the 70's things started to turn to the worst as feelings took over as the dominant force as it reached it's extreme, the idea that if it feels right then it must be a good thing. It was a stark contrast to the culture of the time so it was seen as teenagers being teenagers and left to it's own devices. The 80's these people started to take power, the idea of protecting the minority for a righteous cause was seen as something which feels good. In the 90's these ideas started to take a footing in society as the norm and the flood gates opened. Now were left defenseless against them.

The push back will be brutal, I don't want to be around when it happens.

It was the last age before the internet, but not before video games. Truly a golden time.

in the 90s?, pretty sure the 'lawsuit culture' in america was in full effect by then.

>It was the last age before the internet, but not before video games. Truly a golden time.

My grandfather first used internet in 1990 (For work) And had his first home internet in 1994.

Internet became popular in the 90s, mostly the late 90s, 1997-1999. But it was available to everyone by 1994.

Aeon Flux was the shit

Every gen X'er I talk to thinks so

I don't know if they're just gaslighting us or making fun of our atanoia but I tend to believe them

late 80's to 90's OP said.

Culturally things began to go to shit right at the same time we started rolling our eyes at 'rock stars'. This guy was the last one. Then that faggot Cobain came along.

I don't think it's a coincidence, but I don't know the connection either.

no internet
no free porn
world was still mysterious
world was still fun
less communists
families were not as separated as they are today

Yeah maybe not late 80s, but mid 90s had internet and OP mentioned that.

it was amazing

GenXfag here.
The world was a much larger place. Long distance phone calls were still a thing. I had some months I paid like $200...which was a lot when my rent was $350. I wrote letters and shit.
Mostly we were stupid as fuck and didn't know the JQ. People belived CNN and Newsweek magazine and would have thought you were nuts for questioning it, for the most part.
I never knew any eeeeeevil racists...most people totally swallowed the equality/no colorlines thing...and we all got screwed.
>we were also tricked into not having kids
all that fucking propaganda about over population, the smarter you were, the more you believed it....I can't tell you how many friends of mine don't have kids

racism bs didnt exist, very tru back then

fpbp

internet fucked up everything, but it started with TV
we have too much (((information)))

Fuck where's a grenade when you need one.

There was none of pic related back then.Whores yes, but none of the political backwards thinking.

other than the big economic bubbles we were in not really. lack of social media and the fact that the 24/7 news cycle machine hadn't spun up yet means you just didn't know about how shit stuff was exactly yet

the price of goods were cheaper

No social media

All i had was a Beeper

Now people get concerned when you turn off your phone or delete your social media.

I've been so connected i just had to disconnect.

>tfw had to pay for porn

Riding bus in seattle, boom box playing in back, guy politely asks to turn it off, ghetto accent voice replies "why can't you just ride the bus and leave me alone" and some other bullshit. Verbal exchange, bus stops, boom box noise gets louder cause dude is leaving the bus, this is all happening behind me so I can't see shit and don't know if something is about to go down. Skinny ass white guy dressed and walking all hip-hop struts down the bus isle, pauses at the front door, turns to the back of the bus and says "You wouldn't last long in my hood" and evryone on the bus laughed at him as he walked down the steps. This was probably 1992.

this website didnt exsist

RiFF is a post-postmodern statement of the logical extremes of white hiphop fandom within a context of white audiences having infinite access to entertainment and history

so yes

> ICE IN MY EAR
> GIMME BRAIN FREEZE

More art. Music, televesion entertainment, Movies, fashion, The ideas were still being discovered and excecuted whereas now everything has been done then repeated and were just waiting to die.

It wasnt

Ate you old or something

Oh absolutely

> 50's and 60's
> literally the decade when white people begin completely copying black music instead of pretending

And (((them))) blowing up the WTC gave us the recession. But yeah ALOT of new immigration is also to blame for the dumbing down of our standards

for me growing up in the early 90's the best part was underground rave scene. Magical epic massive warehouse parties, renegade outlaws, creative futuristic emotional ecstatic music, psychedelic wonderlands of Peace Love Unity Respect. Good times.

>(((Riff-Raff)))
He even claims to descend from holohoax victims, look it up.

yes and Ren and Stimpy was something new that made you believe there was gonna be MOAR stuff of the nature, not that it was gonna disappear all sudden and leave nothing but low budget garbage for literal gay infants.

outside of the fashion I really can't find much drawbacks.
I'm sure the lack of internet might make genZ kids feel confused but it really wasn't.

I like Nirvana people that dont like Nirvana had a really good life and cant relate

Yeah I dont have kids I always felt from gen X but I actually qualify as a (shudder) millenial

Oh I know

Jet Grind Radio the game were you have rollerblades of the future that use nutrin batteries that increase your momentum and let you skate in walls & ceilings

Fuck china

Cobain was all emo, all the time.

I had a shitty life, but I knew that whining about it wasn't going to get me anywhere. It can't and never does.

He wasn't even genuine about it. That's what killed him in the end. Once he got the fame, he realized he liked parts of it. His whole emo, lefty, 'fuck the man' belief system was exposed, and he himself, through his success, was the cause.

>Everything before 2000 was great.

>Everything before 2010 wasn't too bad in retrospect but seemed pretty shitty at the time.

>Everything now is just fuck my shit up, senpai.

I was a teenager in the 90s, I'd give my left bollock to go back in time and experience it again, but as a fully matured 30-something adult.

The one on the far right is the best. What a koinkadoodledunk.

...

>genocided

...

The greatest city in the world in the greatest state in world in the greatest country in the world during the GREATEST DECADE in human history at the PINNACLE of human civilization. And you know what? I was living there to experience it all.

Everything has gone to shit since 2001 and will continue to get worse, probably culminating with the end of the world via World War 3 or some planetary-wide disaster of our making.

No matter where you live or will be living at in the future, will never experience any thing as glorious as 1990s New York, Sup Forums. How does that make you feel?

im a 91 babby and i still want to go back

it was a simpler time for sure

Your dollar went further, the culture was looser and we felt invincible, PC wasn't really a thing, you could smoke inside, In general it was a goofier more carefree time I think.

prior to 2000, 20% Interest rates on savings was the standard. then drastically went to 1%

what happened?
>globalisation ponzi scheme

your funds were invested in China/India

meme city

MTV definitely had rap videos in the early to mid 90s, like MTV jams and stuff. Towards the mid 90s they started getting rid of stuff like headbangers ball (which played metal/White music) and taking it off the air and replacing it with more nigger rap shit

At least in Spain it was paradise compared to now.

>Walk into a company, ask for a job, be asked what can you do, get a job.
>Very homogeneous people. It was very simple to be safe: avoid gyppos. Aside from that the only immigration someone would worry about would be drunk brits and germans taking over Mallorca.
>If you had trouble there were plenty of religious communities or other social groups that would help you out. Now all the help is exported overseas because helping nigs is cooler than helping people you see everyday next to you.
>Being poor in Spain meant having a shitty car, a small appartment and an old Tv. Being poor in Spain now means having to choose between eating lunch or dinner, not having a car and be forced to share an appartment.

Spot on

The culture was still shitty and terrible. Life was like it still is now, materialistic, jewy, and pointless. Most idiots probably like it because they love nigger and fag music. 80's was the apex of nigger faggot tunes.

honestly a lot of that period is a blur. out of the army in '86, fucked off til college in '89. lots of recreational chemicals may have hindered my ability to remember.
what I do know is there were much fewer niggers here, no mexicans, you didn't need to have a gun on you at all times, cops were more lenient and didn't drive mine-proof armored trucks, you didn't have to get raped to get on a plane.. so yes it was a better time so long as you didn't listen to too much of the music.

2008 was unironically the best year of my life
feels like a dream, now

I know you guys are all probably right about things being better in the past, and it probably has something to do with pic related, but do you guys ever get the itching feeling that things only seemed better as a kid because you had optimism?
And that now as an adult things aren't as good for you as you imagined them to be?
That maybe you could have done more with your life until now?

The late 80's and early 90's were terrible.

That's what they were famous for - Being terrible. The economy was fucked and crime was through the roof.

Where are you getting this faggotry?

The LATE 90's are the Boom Years that everyone nostalgias about.

The early 90's were race riots, militia bombings, heroin addiction and suicide.
