I hear all the time that the 90's were such a simpler, peaceful time, especially compared to now. I have to laugh at this, because back during the

actual 90's people talked about how awful the 90's were and how much simpler things were in the 60's and 70's. As I recall there was a lot more crime in the 90's. School shootings started happening. There was very little discipline in the homes, at least according to teachers. The "everybody is disposable" attitude became the norm within most companies. In fact things really started going south in the 90's. They are absolutely right about one thing though, life was very affordable and affluent as far as money goes. I remember the 90's and early 2000's as being a very cushy time to live in as far as money and material things go.

I miss the 90s mainly because social media didn’t exist. There was an emphasis on working within actual reality.

@Keeper Certainly true. I really enjoyed the 90s. I just laugh at the way people describe it as some kind of innocent decade, like it was Mayberry on Andy Griffith or something.

@Cloud7593 I appreciate your post. Made me remember that narrative. Certainly was a different time. Some good some bad. I think the music at the time reflected this - grunge, gangsta rap, bad ass female leads and the start of hip hop.

Lots of different levels coming out of the 70s
