What do you miss most about the 90's?


There are several things I miss:

1. There was much more social interaction. Everyone has a smartphone these days and people are far more concerned about texting, playing games, and recording things than living live and talking to people.

2. The world wasn't so PC. Thanks to the liberals, I feel like I'm walking on eggshells trying not to offend anyone today. You can't even say "Merry Christmas" without being called intolerant/bigoted/or whatever term liberals use.

3. REAL toys that encouraged you to use your imagination and play outside.

4. Renting movies. Don't get me wrong, I love Netflix, but I do miss the experience of perusing the video rental store.

5. Music videos on MTV and VH1. The music videos back then were a big deal and weren't just put online and forgotten about the next day.

6. TV wasn't dominated with crappy reality shows. I suppose Cops and The Real World were considered reality shows, but I never heard the term until the 2000s. Unsolved Mysteries and America's Most Wanted were my idea of reality shows. Those were real stories and actually had a positive impact on the real world. Not this crap like Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

7. Like I mentioned in the other thread, there were a lot more wholesome shows in the 90's. Family sitcoms in particular seem to have suffered the most.

So what do YOU miss the most? You don't have to limit it to one thing.
