Great Music on the radio

Real Hip Hop

Movie ticket prices

Gas prices

My size 10 body

radio is just crap these days ~ and this is why the younger generation often go through mum n dads music collection looking 4 something better

and because of it i keep on losing a lot of my cd's

KoolEaze said:

Real Hip Hop.

Good RnB music.

I know there´s still a lot of good music out there if you really look for it but come on, I know you still listen to stuff from the earlier decades.

Good music channels (MTV, VIVA, radio stations that cared about music).

Other than that, not really much. Maybe cheaper gas and nicer looking cars. But a lot of things are so much better in the here and now, including the way people look. I think being younger today has its perks, too, despite all the things the younger generation is missing out on.

i agree - ppl now tend to look after themselves way more than they did back then

In no particular order:

1) Record stores: There were two that were my favorite, one called Tracks and one called Peaches. I would go to Peaches every Tuesday to get the latest issue of Billboard to see where Prince's latest music was charting or grab a 12 inch single...I had so much disposable cash back then.

2) Living at the dorm: For three years I roomed in a four person dorm apartment that had half international and half American students. I learned so much about people and did so so many stupid things. Whether it was getting wated on MD 20 20 and watching Beavis and Butthead at three in the morning or heading to Charlotte to catch Midnight Oil and Ziggy Marley just because I could. I managed to pass a class every now and then and was not getting laid in the slightest but it was the time of my life.

3) Sitcoms at their peak: With all due respect to the great sitcoms of the 80s, there was nothing quite like following Friends, Seinfeld, and Frasier at their peak.

4) Cowboys winning Super Bowls: Haven't won one since 1997...LOOOOONNNNNGGGG dry spell.

5) The awkward courtship of my future wife: Our first date was a blind date at the Rhythm Nation stop in Columbia, SC.Stuck in the friend zone for half on the 90s and then one day, bam, things changed. So much effort went into convincing her that I could be more and though we have had a rough time or two I am so grateful that I have her in my life.

the 90's were when record stores seemed to fade away

and yes the sitcoms!!!! some of those shows r still funny now ~ seinfeld was the best and sometimes if something funny happens i always say thats a Seinfeld moment and then my kids r like this....

Cross Colour jeans and Reebok Pumps. The big 8 ball or USA flag jacket. Having enough hair for a hi top fade that never looked as good as Kid's. Two tone leather front jeans My 85 Buick Regal Wasting at least $10 bucks trying to beat Mortal Kombat.

i used to waste $10 bucks on the skill testers - even till this day i dont know why but i just had to have the useless fluffy toys - that i could prob pick up 4 $2 at the junk shop

When I always wore my black turtlenecks in the spring and by summer I had to be forced to wearing a shirt.

Another thing I missed is watching people make VHS tapes for me to watch my favorite movies.

Eating pizza while watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because if you wasn't eating pizza while watching, you wasn't about that life... seriously. Gotta have pizza with TMNT either before, during or after. :nod:

i'm with u on that one

The hairstyles

music is a big one 4 most ~ but how has food changed?

JoeyC said:

My hair

The Sex

The cheaper cost of living

My father

My brother

Having said all of that. There are way more things about the 90's that i don't miss than the things i do miss. Now if we were talking about the 80's........they were a blast.

and i wanted 2 say the 80's but there r so many younger orgers and i didnt want to exclude them

Cerebus said:

Raves/Parties. The real shit; in warehouses, dive bars, back alleys, barns, forrests and at the beach. Not in swanky ass, sparkly clubs.

The Grateful Dead.

Regular Aphex Twin releases.

Constantly discovering new music by buying a piece of vinyl just because it looked interesting. Now I learn about stuff online first and only buy what I really want to have forever.

Monthly Sandman and Cerebus comic books.

Not the same quality..w/all these harmone injectd meats. That goes for fast food 2, it jst tastes different..ex, Mc Donalds fries $ Big Mac. Burger Kings Wopper, Dominos pizza..2 name a few

I agree!!!

Even taco bell tasted like "real food" back then. When I bite into a nacho chip nowadays, it's like ground-up cardboard & plaster with a hint of corn.

1. Marijuana free-for-all

2. Time & money lost to marijuana over-consumption

3. Simpsons were funny

4. Rock & Roll had new life

5. Society appeared to be less materialistic and striving for substance

[Edited 7/9/12 12:24pm]

1. collectings penguins (not real ones of course)

2. my boyfriend, I was so sure we would last forever

3. my dad and my aunt (even though my aunt was only alive for 6 weeks into the 90s)

5. travelling all over Europe for concerts
