Millennials don't know how awesome the 90s were.

I'm close with a millennial. I'd marry her if she'd have me. We hang out a lot and she has lots of friends the same age. None of them know how awesome the 90s were. They know the shows and they know the music. But they don't know the atmosphere. They think now times is like all times. When I was young, I had an understanding of older times. I don't get it. I know I come off like super dork when I get talking about the 90s. But jesus. There was literally magic in the air.

If you think the 90s were awesome, they were nothing like the tripple awesome 60s!

Are you sure you're using the term "millennial" correctly? A lot of people seem to misuse the term to mean just "young people these days", which isn't the correct meaning of the term. I'm a millennial and I remember the 90s.

I grew up in the 90's and sometimes wonder how life would have been different if we had the technology of today, such as smart phones. I remember in 9th grade getting my first Nokia cell phone and thinking it was the coolest thing ever.

Excuse me, I grew up in the 90s, thank you. I liked it better back then because people weren't obsessed with politics and tv shows were better. We also were going through the Disney Renaissance, so there was an awesome new movie nearly every year, and we didn't have queers and liberals taking over everything and dictating to us how to live back then. The 90s were great!

The term "Millennial" refers to people who were born between 1980 and 1997, and were teenagers or pre-teens by the time the Year 2000 came about. I think you're referring to Generation Z and the iGeneration, kids who were born after 1996 and never got to experience the world without the internet.

Last I check "queers" aren't dictating to us how to live. Don't you think its good that gay people are more accepted nowadays?

No.

Why?

[–] AmeriGirl26 (15110) 6 years ago

I get tired of having the Gay Agenda shoved down my throat every time I turn on the tv. It seems you can't watch a single tv show anymore without one of them on there, and I don't like it. They're not gonna change my mind, and it's made me want to give up ever watching cable again.

[–] Padeen (6459) 6 years ago

In my experience, I've never noticed that. What exactly is a Gay Agenda anyways? Does it bother you that gay people want and deserve equal rights?

Read up on it:

It was never about free rights. It's about becoming a protected class that gets preferential treatment at the expense of everyone else, and hurting our children along the way.

Oh my god. Your not too smart, are you? A quick Google search shows that is a satirical article from 1987.

In case you don't know what Satire is: The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. synonyms: mockery, ridicule, derision, scorn, caricature.

I don´t know about magic in the air but pop culture was pretty awesome. TV, movies and music were just amazing.

Seeing that I was born in 94, I still have very vague memories of the 90s. But then again, I was still so young, so I guess those memories don't really count. But in my opinion, the early 2000s seem like nothing more than an extension of the late 90s. Even a timeframe like 2007 and 2008 seem like a lifetime ago.
