Last and best time to be white in the USA

Getting lost for hours while driving to a new location was a common occurrence.

Paying long distance fees if the call was made over 20 miles away.

Organizing meet ups with friends took military levels of strategy and timing.

Information that was not written down in a book or referenced in a movie simply did not exist to you.

getting molested at arcades, or watching Wishbone mostly

Fake id’s were made easily. U actually had to have game to get pussy. U see her and work her on the spot because of no social media.

This.

In the UK it was comfy as fuck. The last "real" decade, before the many roosters came home to roost.

>molested at arcades
Holy shit I thought I was the only one. I got groped playing Galaga.

All you need to know about the 90s:

youtube.com/watch?v=GyOMYC6mlsY

The North American lad would be coloured these days.

swapping dirty vhs tapes with mates and chatting about the porn a lot.

the 90s was great and the 90s kids who bought into the lib propaganda ruined the world

Pokemon mania.

It was cozy. PC bullshit was nonexistent because people just laughed at it and nobody got 'triggered' over stupid shit. The internet was also not as mainstream, so it wasn't flooded by idiots like it is now.
I want to go back.

I was 6 when it ended so I would say comfy as fuck. A lot of cultural stuff bled over into the early 2000's plus my brother was 13 when it ended so I got to hear some good shit about the world I was too young to understand or remember.

He just told me that when internet access became easy and common place he began to hate the world more.

I dodged that bullet, but I knew guys that didn't manage to avoid the gay pedos that lurked in every skating rink and arcade. I remember this dude in his late 20's that always hung out at the skating rink wearing a superman tshirt and a creepy mustache. He was talking to me and some friends one night and he honest to god talked like a cross between quagmire and the creeper dude from dazed and confused. Out of the blue dude starts saying shit like "it's hard to get girls at your age, huh? I bet you guys masturbate a lot, oh yeah, just kidding, alright. Any of you guys need a ride home?" I called him a homo and bounced, but I saw boys leave with him sometimes. I always wondered how this guy could just hang around a skating rink and creep on kids every freaking weekend without the management calling the cops.

From my memory the main difference was people not being addicted to staring at tiny screens in their hand. Not much more different other than that.

Definitely Less niggers and less degenerate liberals

Contrary to what others say who were not even of age in the 90's, it was the same in alot of ways. People think Political correctness just sprang up in 2015 but in the 90s was just as a big a problem. With faggots like Cobain preaching feminism and anti homophobe rhetoric sjw's were a thing in the 90s as well Sure pop music and the internet and even tv was "better" in the 90s, it still was not that different from today. Obviously "smart" phones and social media and mainstream internet have accelerated the sjw to warp speed but it has been present in our societies since the cold war.

Use to wait around for programs that I knew would be on soon that I potentially wank too.

what the hell

You could afford to buy things like houses and health insurance. The Marxists took care of that.

It was shit unless you were in North America or Western Europe desu

Comfy and aesthetic as fuck

I like how they left out niggers.

It's a Friday night in 90sland and mummy takes you to blockbusters you can get each of the following.

What do you get Sup Forums?

It was colorful and fun and we roller-bladed by the riverside and then got high and watched 3rd Rock from the Sun and watched Trainspotting and drank Starbucks and had black & white cookies (whatever happened to those?) and drove to the beach and played volleyball and grew old and fat and alone and got on Sup Forums and never left.

youtube.com/watch?v=E1fzJ_AYajA

...

I think if we had the information availability we have now, not much would've changed.
The same politics ruled back than, but we had it good.
Life was comfortable and people not crazy. There were signs of what was about to come but we never thought about it beyond getting a little annoyed.
Honestly I could live forever in that time and I would be happy.
Why does it have to be like this Sup Forums ?

>tfw born '99
at least Australia was behind in consumer entertainment so I got to play the good video games

29 here, born in 1988.

>nobody gave a shit about the middle east or muslims; most people in murica knew next to nothing about islam

That guy sounds literally legit like a serial killer. At the arcade I went to it was just a lot of older guys that brushed up and touched some of the kids leaning forward on the machines, acting like an employee to ensure they didn't break them. Fuck they were some real weirdos there. Thankfully I didn't get anything worse than a quick grope of my ass.

Yeah but it wasnt in my face every day.

People cared a fuck less about politics. Only edgy over involved retards only cared, never made a difference.


Black people cried about racism, but it was just funny nigger stuff no one cared about.

No one even knew what a muslim was.

this

Sup Forums is dead
a year ago this couldn't have spent half a minute without getting checked
normies suck
also, checked faggot

It wasn't too bad. Things seemed simple and there wasn't so much anti-white culture, but (((they))) were definitely propping minorities up on a pedestal.
Nintendo Power and Nintendo themed cartoons were a thing, arcades were always pretty cool hang-outs, people used to collect pogs... I think I miss the music the most. Spent my most innocent years in the 90's.

nigger Sup Forums has been dead since 2007, stop playin

Nice id moron

Optimistic. Uncool. Harder to get porn. Easier to get a job. Most cars were shut unless they were Japanese. Lots of denim.

It was an utopia

Unlike other fads of the time, Pokemon is still relevant.

The best.

The shit that was normal fun would be felony charges for you and your parents and result in everyone being put on some no-fly list or getting the probe when taking a flight to see grandma.

A single fight at school would be talked about for an entire year and you didn't have to worry about some fuckhead coming back later to blow your brains out or being put in Guantanamo because the other kid was 1/32 minority.

Even in a Christian school, our conversations were less politically correct than Sup Forums.

Now everything sucks. The populace is dumb and in a constant state of fear of losing their job, being labeled a racist, saying the wrong thing around a female, or generally having any independent thought that goes counter to CNN or Hollywood produced trash.

>what is the inner city

you faggots only think the 90s were better because you were at the oldest 6 when they ended

you only think this because you were a child and didn't have awareness to notice anything outside vidya and mommy making din dins

inner city crime is worse now than it was then in cities like Chicago and New York, 90's crime was everywhere thanks to crack

wrong but how was life back in the dark ages, gramps?

The economy was good and there actual good jobs

The pc shit started in the 90s

Not as good as the 80’s. I remember both.
The 90’s saw the rise of vidya and a kind of hypercommercialism that the 80’s, in its local businesses and limited communications systems, had not yet encountered. The 80’s was the last decade of the typewriter and doing research in the library; the 90’s brought the internet.

there was a lot of stuff going on all the time. now it's well i'm take a nap.

The 90’s, btw, was also the birthplace of Political Correctness. That abated under the Bush Jr. administration, but it’s back with a vengeance.

We had a different sense of time back then. Everything was more laid back and people did not like it when you tried too hard.

it seemed blissful, early 90s were a great time to be a kid, i always thought. but shit was still going on, it just hadnt fully come to fruition.
but the more redpilled i become, the more i realize kikery has been going on for longer and longer than i thought.

america has been getting worse for over a hundred years.

I miss the 90s so much

Ignore him, he's still pissed we used to shove him in lockers. They were great, grandson, let me tell you. Shittier in some ways, better in others, but ultimately a bunch of the same minus changing demographics and slightly better music if you were male.

Modern female music is far superior though.

check your memory again senpai

It was blissful ignorance... our enemies were putting us into checkmate, while we mountain biked and went to Lollapalooza.

Faggot

>3rd Rock from the Sun
under fucking rated tv show

Only Spanish people living in Spain, even in big cities.
Fags were made fun of, trannies were freaks.
Lots of hours spent in the park just smoking and talking.
Laws where more like "guidelines".
Sense of freedom.
Girls were girls, boys were boys.
No cell phones. Oh boy. You said you'd meet and you met, no one cancelled, ever.
No calls from work to your home, if they called you it meant the workplace had caught fire or something.
Couldn't afford music, always listening to the same shit, then the first CD copiers appeared, it was like a miracle.
The first internet was about "fuck da system"
No PC, nowhere, no feminists.

>ninja turtles movie (the first one)
>nba jam
>sour cream and onion chips
>i dunno root beer or something

I was certain Joseph Gordon Levitt was Chinese back then. Wtf at his heritage, maybe part of that Russian Jew part is from eastern Russia.

>always listening to the same shit
yeah it was only radio or the cd's already owned or a trip to the local record store
>the first CD copiers appeared, it was like a miracle.
>The first internet was about "fuck da system"

>seeing pokemon for the first time by staring over the shoulder of a buddy on the playground at recess
>being amazed at how fun everything looks
>never again will anything seem as awesome as those shitty games that weren't even in color did at the time

>the people kids of 80's/90's grew up to destroy everything good that they were raised in

I will never understand this.

I still have 3 of those gold plated pokemon cards from burger king

he looks like some kind of hapa to me lol

Yeah even now he does, but when he was a kid like in he just looked like a little Chinese girl. I mean, look.

Apparently all his heritage is European though.

fun

Getting porn took a lot of effort, usually it involved stealing it. You kept porn as if it was a treasure. It was easier to get LSD than it was to get porn.
Arcades were tough.
Lots of small robberies on the street.
Lots of heroin and junkies.
Pictures costed money.
No surveillance cameras, no big data
Lots of stories of guys "who went to buy cigarettes" and abandoned their families for ever. It was impossible to find them.
No email, no cells: you met some one and you might never ever meet them again, might never find them, or have a chance to contact them again.
TV was bad and boring, which pushed you to read, draw, play music etc a lot.

>skip-it still broken, it's okay, play with tonka trucks instead

Reminds me what a throw-away nation we are today. Back then a lot of our toys were missing pieces or broken in some way but we made it work anyway, imagination goes a long way.

wrong, gen x'r here, I enjoyed the 90's fully I was in my young adult years then. good music, great sex, and amazing drugs

Good times.. getting an illegal copy of elder scrolls arena on 20 floppy disk, only to have a read error on disk 19....

Well it was the best time if my life, but I'm from 79.

The internet was the shit back then because only nerds used it. It was fun fucking around with linux, hitting up IRC for warez, script kiddie'ing with smurf.c, fraggle, downloading fully completed essays and turning them in to school without worrying about your teacher knowing how to find them and/or turnitin.com, etc.

Interwebz is fucking gay now.

lots of car stereo equipment. lots of car stuff in general.

no, we just took what we could and ran with it. The people you need to blame are the boomers. They ruined it for all of us.

Words that DID NOT EXIST:

Gender
Bullying
Politically correct
ADHD, ADD etc
Troll
-----phobia

RATE MY 90S STYLE MEME

Do you think he actually killed any of those kids?

Lots of Super Mario. And I mean, LOTS

literally this 24/7

We wore a lot of flannel shirts and listened to great bands. There was more European/White people in America. People got along more with other races simultaneously. We had LOTS of sex. Women were not on this Feminism BULLSHIT.

The 80s and the 90s were an entirely different planet. I feel SORRY for people that never experienced it.

SJWs didn't exist so it was great. Legitimately the least racist period in history. A lot of JNCOs.

When people thought the SJW PC culture of today was just some sick joke that was never going to happen.

>downloading fully completed essays

Did that only once. Got a B+.

The Post Punk "Grunge" music was life.

If you weren't into it, you were a Fag and your shit was retarded. Still goes to this day.

Everything was radical, guitar riffs in every commercial, great after-school and Saturday morning cartoons.

Last decade where Wrestling was mainstream.
Especially in Japan.
youtube.com/watch?v=g_FvCj4rzUs

shitty processed food was the norm and no one thought anything of it

Those younger than very late 20's got fucking cheated. This isn't your typical back in muh day, old man yappin shit. You really did get cheated.

Every wrong is recorded, privacy doesn't exist, and mistakes of the past (which there will be many due to technology and today's political/social environment) will follow you forever.

You really got cheated. Not taking any sort of satisfaction in it, either. It fucking bums me out.

Lots of Pokémon

carefree

ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYBODY!

Everybody says there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.

The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.

Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.

What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?

How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?

And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.

I thought Captain Planet was God as a kid kek
