    Being a kid in the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s were definitely the good ol’ days for me.
  • I still feel the 90's were the last 'real' decade to grow up in. You could go outside and be a child without the pressure of 'social media', yet as we grew older the internet was there (albeit, in it's societal infancy). I think it was the perfect sweet spot.

    While I love dabbling in nostalgia it sure is depressing to know we'll never have things like they were before.

    When I was a teenager in the 90s, I loved it. But I also remember being so optimistic about the future and how things would be better with more technology. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way and it just made society worse.

    I remember getting an AOL install disk in the mail about every week. We started using them as coasters.

    I still keep some maps in my car… being lost in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone or no cell signal is just a bit too realistic a fear to ignore 😅

    You know what else disappeared from grocery stores and drug stores in the 1990's? Comic book spinner racks. The last one I saw in a grocery store was in 2000.

    It's hard to believe the 90s are on Recollection Road, but after watching it I have to say that was a really different time.

    As a Swede, born 1985, we pretty much had the same thing with everything that was mentioned, and I miss those days. The 90's was probably the best time of my life. 😀

    The last fun decade......I was in my 20's (turned 20 in 1990) and had many great times. Interesting to read how many other people, besides myself, remember the 90's being the last amazing decade. Now everything is so serious and somber....the America I knew is no more.

    This video forgot to mention the anticipation of watching your favorite shows on TV, rushing home just to get there in time. Nowadays the instantaneous access to the internet kind of killed of that feeling. Also, whoever heard of watching 5 min clips back then?
  • The 90s were the the last decade where you truly felt free and optimistic. After 2001 everything kinda went to 💩
  • @Jantv81
    I miss the 90s! Those were my “ Wonder Years.”
  • I remember my returning from Miami. My ID was in my dirty laundry and I told the guy that all I had available was my Block Buster video card. He let me on the flight.

    I will always cherish the memories of going to the video store Friday nights with my Dad

    I absolutely loved the old AOL. During a bad time in my life I met a terrific friend with a shoulder to cry on and a ear that listened. So yea, I loved AOL.
  • I remember waiting 20-25mins to get connected to the internet in the early 90’s! And then my family telling me to get off the computer, so they could make a phone call! They still jokingly talk about the OJ Simpson trial today, but back then, it was an incredibly big deal!
