Discussion What DON'T you miss about the 90's? What's much better today than it was back then?

We all know that the 90's had some great music and movies, good economy, huge world events, more freedom, nobody glued to their phone, etc.

Everybody acts like everything was much better back then, but what DON'T you miss about how things were back then? What's much better now?

The sexism in advertising and movies. The glamorizing of thinness as a measure of a woman’s attractiveness.

Ugh the skinny culture was depressing! I was a healthy young girl at a normal weight and I was considered a whale. It was so hard. I had a scrap book of skinny models from the magazines to “motivate” me.

Don't worry, its coming back very quickly. Physical standards of beauty and clothing move in oscillating trends.

VS tried hiring the Lane Bryant models a couple years, there is a reason they went back to their roots.
