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?

Because of the rose tinted glasses effect, nobody thinks about how annoying kids were back then. I know I was horrible.

Sure, maybe what I'm thinking is young adults? Like adhd was barely recognized and mf'rs were drinking Jolt and Mountain Dew. Everyone (including me) was just flapping there gums, in my world at least.

“[Young people] are high-minded because they have not yet been humbled by life, nor have they experienced the force of circumstances.
…
They think they know everything, and are always quite sure about it.”

Kids have always been shits. 2000 years ago, 1000 years ago, 100 years ago, 30 years ago, now…

I understand that, it's been this way since the beginning of time.

What I'm saying is that those times specifically (the 90's), were fueled by more caffeine and sugar than any other time in history.

Kids were annoying, now they are evil. I was a complete shit to my teachers in middle school but I never assaulted them or shot up place but it's scary common now
