1990s = PEAK OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION

1990s:

>There was real gender equality but women still acted feminine and loyal
>SJWs weren't a thing. The few that existed were openly ridiculed
>Western nations were still overwhelmingly White-majority. What few minorities existed behaved well and tried to integrate. There was racial harmony
>The end of the Cold War had absolutely BTFO left-wing politics. Everyone agreed communism was one of mankind's worst mistakes, free market reforms were in full swing, even Europe was trying to cut down the welfare state
>The future seemed full of promise. It was assumed technological progress would continue and the West would remain strong no matter what
>1990s kids like me imagined ourselves being happily married and with kids by our late 20s. We could take up any job we wanted, the future seemed bright. With enough effort, anything seemed possible
>Most Western nations were running trade surpluses, the military was strong, nations were worth defending and fighting for. Politics was seen as much less dirty than today
>No ghetto/reggaeton/thug culture in the mainstream
>The Concorde crossed the Atlantic at supersonic speeds, it remains the fastest commercial air route that ever existed
>The Space Shuttle was making regular trips to space, Martian colonization was expected to begin by the 2015-2030 period

What the fuck happened?
Something, somewhere, went terribly wrong.

9/11 happened, the terrorists won.

>The few that existed were openly ridiculed
To think that this was once satire: youtube.com/watch?v=zmKKV4p1vQ8

>No ghetto/reggaeton/thug culture in the mainstream

If you don't remember ghetto Looney Tunes, you don't remember the 90's.

Forgot pic.

I thought that was the early/mid 2000's

>today's cucks are the 90s kids

Nah, m8, 80s were peak, 90s was the beginning of the decline, and the 2000s all sealed our fate as permafucked.

You mean the clothing line featuring Bugs Bunny and Co. donning ghetto attire? Yeah, shit got annoying.

The aughts weren't too terrible in retrospect. Not like the present shitshow of a decade at least.

>LA Riots
>Gangsta rap
>The Gotti family

No shortage of thug culture; there will and should always be a thug element. What kind of pussy world would it be it there weren't tough guys?

>muh 90's bs thread

At least you have a proxy Canada fag. And I see you took time to make some relevant green text. But, you got lazy by using the same pic

only real 90s kids remember XD

That was definitely the 90s, in fact the 90s was the height of baggy/thug clothing style. JNCO was at its peak.

But what could it be? hmmmm...

This is why all those dumbass dindus and dindu sympathizer cucks get run over while blocking traffic. No one wants to be the next Reginald Denny.

Yeah the 90's glorified diversity and jntegration.

tfw my grandpa was posted up with a full auto outside his & my grandma's house during the riots

>nigs would drive by shouting n yelling
>saw one car throw a molotov

The start of the 2000's was the start of the new dumb for sure. A land filled with people glued to there phones and every teen girl has coffee breath.

>Something, somewhere, went terribly wrong.

9/11 and renewed interest in nigger chow deficit spending to buy identity politics votes.

9/11 of course

instead of Americans being angry that this was the turning point to the degenerate world, they make memes, and ridicule it

The matrix was right

The internet provided a safe space for people to be all different kinds of faggots, and spread that faggotry into reality. Social media created a culture of narcissism and victimhood.

The internet happened, user.

>ITT: people who were 5 in 1999
It was pretty much just as bad as now just with shittier internet and slightly less blatant shilling.

I can tell you weren't alive in the 90s, you fucking retard.
Yes, there were SJWs in the 90s. In fact, the previous wave of left-wing hysteria took place in the 90s, and was even parodied on The Simpsons (Homer grabs ass).
Yes, thug culture was so prevalent that even my friends here in fucking Norway listened to that shit and were sagging their pants.
The end of the cold war meant the opposite of what you're implying, because without the big threat of the Soviet Union, the west started to splinter ideologically, and we were no longer allowed to take pride in our strength, unity and militarty power. It meant the death of the western world.

The 90s were certainly much better than the world of today, more or less across the board, but it had its share of problems. They just hadn't evolved as far as they have today.

The 90s were shit.
The 80s were shit.
What came before was shit.
The present is shit and so will be the future.
You're just looking back to the past to find your new utopia because you've come to the realization that life is, in short, shit.

The 1990s were better than now, but you're wrong on these points:

>There was real gender equality but women still acted feminine and loyal
Cheating and divorce was still common way back into the 70s.

>What few minorities existed behaved well and tried to integrate. There was racial harmony.
OJ and Rodney King prove that wrong.

>No ghetto/reggaeton/thug culture in the mainstream

You serious?

Your grandpa sounds based like most white grandpas. I thought you needed a certain based power level to survive natural selection how are these men not prevalent anymore?

>1999 was nearly twenty years ago

I can pinpoint when it started.

Gangsta rap was a gift from the heavens, it all would have been better if we had listened, but instead everyone became shills

The 1990s had its political,social and moral problems,as did all previous decades.

The biggest issues for "my" generation are finding employment,debt and I guess terrorism.

Crime is down,HDI is up, da acconomy is kinda wonky... but life is easy as fuck right now if you know how to manage money and aint a dummy

this

it changed everything

This, at least we have reliving the 90s to look forward to once the machines enslave us

matrix was propchecy

Fpbp

Why is that always the pic for these threads? It's intednded to represent the height of .. what? Looks like shit times.

Marxism
The 90's was the last decade of decadence following the peak which was just before WW1

This. 2000/2001 was peak and 9/11 began the decline. The wars in the middle east (now resulting in muh refugees). The 2008 crash then fucked everything alot worse. Basically the 00s managed to unravel any progress made in the 90s and now we're going backwards again with Political Correctness, SJWs, identity politics, mass immigration, austerity, gap between rich and poor growing, race relations getting worse . Plus the West lost its general sense of invincibility. No one would have ever thought an attack like that could be pulled of in America- it'd be impossible. Now Muslims are emboldened enough to come and try and take over Western countries. They wouldn't have tried that 20 years ago.

George Bush was elected and entered two wars without funding them. he even decided to cut taxes.

>The end of the Cold War had absolutely BTFO left-wing politics.
And when the Soviets fell, they came to the West, went into our media and colleges, and began their "long march through the institutions". This bore fruit after one full generation was raised under them in the form of today's SJWs.

>And when the Soviets fell
no, they invaded our universities far before that.
What the fuck do you think the '60s were?

>9/11 began the decline

You may be on to something. An employer told me, not long after, when the American response was shaping up, in all it's hysteria, "that's it, the end for the US". I thought it an odd thing to say, really going out on a limb. The hastening of everything going to shit has followed though.

9/11 was the spark, Obama's election was the eruption.

90s were crap.

>Western Civilization

yes

>married and with kids by our late teens
FTFY
Other than that, worth reading, user.

The long march through western institutions started in the 50's when the USSR was at it's zenith.

You're right. The Soviets falling was another wave of that same poison, but the 60's were definitely the start of it.

Globalists is what happened.

f p b p

This happened:
After that, it was time to fulfill the plans m8.
The NWO-script at the new millennium has kicked in. They have realised that their economical and political system inst sustainable psychologically or biologically so they're milking the money machine and now they don't have anybody standing in their way.

They need some shit to be running in the background so you retards don't catch them red handed. You need to focus on some shit that is really worthless and a political ferret wheel at best.

Wouldn't be surprised if they have sold the world to the mudslimes and are planing on leaving it in a hurry to start over on another planet...

90s western civilization was already poisonous jewish crap.

only if you were poor

speaking of the 90's I just bought a Crystal Pepsi

it's not very good

it actually wasn't that common to marry at such a young age, expecially if you were mid-upper class

I remember Looney Toons. Everything went to crap when the Berenstein Bears universe collapsed.

>im not white
>grandpa (RIP in peace) wasn't white

spics, the gun he illegally brought over from mexico. i thank him for being the person to red pill me

>at an early age told me "you know who runs the world? the jews"

>Microsoft Windows
you mean those communists that like to control you like the ESTABLISHMENT does? They are globalist scum, the GNU system is the only system that isn't globalism infested

9-9-99

>UT lan games were nearly twenty years ago

Is that when that thing came out? Fuck I'm getting old.

Man I felt so bad for that truck driver. I watched the video, he was literally in the wrong place at the wrong time.

GNU is pure collectivism/globalism, never met someone in open source that wasn't a cuck.

You're a complete and utter faggot

*pukes internally*

-Neoconservative foreign policy
-the left abandoned socialism in favour of multiculturalism
-neoliberal economics=open borders+ leftists cheerleading for diversity

that was the death sentence

Look on the bright side, it was only some 20 years ago.

That means we are able to turn it around once again.

Think: from the 60s/70s to the 80s/90s

TFW WHO PLAYED HYDRO THUNDER ON DREAMCAST TOP KEK????????????

This.
It's just that we were kids so we remember it fondly. Even I do and we had a fucking war and social meltdown here.
For most people childhood and teen years will be the happiest time of their life.

>PEAK OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION
You fucking whot mate, certainly not.
Even as the peak of the US its debatable, because of post war 50's and 60's US society
Maybe we can find a compromise and call it the peak of carefree capitalism society ?

Jews happened

Ken O'Keefe was right

If I had a dollar for every time I've seen this thread. I'd be a wealthy man

>This was a skit from the 90s.

They tried to warn us.

user...

What if the world DID end in Y2K?

>What few minorities existed behaved well and tried to integrate. There was racial harmony
You are fucking delusional.

Bill Clinton, glass steagal.

There were definitely SJWs. I had to work with 2 of them. They were absolutely the omg how dare anyone disagree with me type. The internet gave them a tool to further themselves and grow.

80s were definitely peak.

90s was when treason became cool. I am gen x but literally 80-90% of the people I knew were scum, and that was a lot because I was a lot more social and had got around more because I was just out of school.

Women were exactly like they are today. Acted like princesses but were total whores.

There was a point where media depicting the future made it look bright and hopeful, Now the future is always depicted as post-apocalyptic.

People tend to overrate then 90s as a whole. 90-95 were fantastic years, but the decade began to decline in about 96. The late 90s weren't that good at all tbph.

I was a 94 babby and even I know you're full of shit, OP

>Civil Rights movement was on a fast track to what we know to be the Social Justice movement
>Rap and Hip Hop begin picking up steam (though, I admittedly like hip hop)
>WTC bombing (1993)
>Oklahoma City Bombing (1995)
>US Embassy bombings (1998)

The fire was rising, so much so that people predicted the 9/11 attack before it'd even happened. The fire has just risen enough that it's starting to scorch your ass.

Don't forget that movie "PCU".. being an SJW/PC was lame as fuck, nagging everybody and whining and self-victimizing all the damn time.

>people predicted the 9/11 attack before it'd even happened

That was the Neocons, because the planned it and orchestrated it with Mossad-handled sockpuppet agents and organizations they infiltrated in the terrorist underworld.

lmao, my dad skated to a Western Union to get money during the full swing of the LA riots.
My dad was a G, still is.

I wish I grew up in the 80s, would've had a hell of a time.

Being my age now, going out and about. The music

youtube.com/watch?v=hIs5StN8J-0

Would have been nice.

73 bab here. 80's were a fucking magical time. Compared to this present nightmare the 80's experience was like an IVF drip of the best Valium money could buy. Now, its like an IV drip of a horrifying acid trip that never ends.

I envy you. How was the music scene in Australia?

>mfw Agent Smith was right

incorrect, the 1950s were the peak of western civilization

the boomers/hippies/civilrights of the 60's destroyed errything

you just failed to see the seeds were already planted in the 90s because you were still bluepilled..

This.

/Thread

As a '96er I can confirm the future was bright and got darker as I grew up at an alarming rate. I thought it was just reality setting in but the past seems like it was so much happier for everyone, even hood rats were having fun killing each other to the beat of the rap music over in Detroit across the river.
