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 grew up in the 90's and didn't experience much of what was wrong going on then, it's chiefly remembered for the people i knew and was into in the pop culture. 90's also to me at least tried to be a return to the 60's, with grunge mirroring groups like The Doors, movies like Natural Born Killers finding influence in Godard's Pierrot le fou. All very superficial, but i got no life besides my interests which can be accessed inside where i don't have to risk life and limb going from point a to point b.
