Ladies.
I've seen a ton of posters ripping the 90s lately, and I know it's just reflexive anti-nostalgia, but they were actually pretty good.

Reagan through Clinton was pretty much the bomb. Great economy, shitloads of durable pop culture, relatively little warfare, and pretty good weather. Consider:

Jurassic Park
Natalie Imbruglia's Torn
The World Wide Web
Star Trek: the Next Generation's good seasons
Michael Jordan's peak

I got no skin in this game — If I'm going to pick a hill to die on, it'll be the 80s, so understand I have no vested interest in defending the 90s. I'm not a child of the 90s, I'm a child of the 80s — for me the 90s was college and young adulthood...my 20s (literally: I turned 20 in 1990). I'm just saying they were pretty loving good.

90s owned.

New Jack Swing as a genre owns so much and if you think that regurgitated 80s nostalgia synth poo poo is better than some big NJS beats then I’m sorry about your lobotomy.

Right-wing militia movements kind of hit an ugly peak in the early 90s, and violent crime was something like 40% higher in 1992 than it is today. The late 90s were pretty good though

Those people in the Balkans sure went to town on each other.

And also the US on them and Iraq.

And that El Niño thing was a big deal back then.

On the other hand: Exposed midriffs :q:

Also Y2K was pretty cool I guess.

I am a ghost




*Stands up from a squat, zipping up pants*

Oh, hello!

I didn't see you come in... You just caught me making GBS threads. making GBS threads on the 90s.

Now, some people say, "why don't you quit making GBS threads on the 90s?"

Well, I say, No sir! No sir, I will not! It's my God-given right as a red blooded American to poo poo anywhere and on anything I want. And today, I want to poo poo on the 90s.

So if you don't mind, I'll just be on my way.

Probably best thing about 90s was truck

Worst was music

Also it was nice because back then having a gross fat butt was still something white people made fun of
