What are you people on? I would happily take the mid-90s Mustang over that blocky piece of junk they're putting out these days.SodaDew said:
I don't miss doctors from the 90's. Now doctors are humane in their approach to things. The 90's?
"This kid has a staff infection, let's hold them down without numbing and lance that sucker!"
"Oh, does this hurt? Well maybe you should BRUSH MORE OFTEN!"
"You appear to be sad. It's Manic Depressive Bi Polar Crazykins Eating Sleepless Disorder. Let's increase the dosage!"
Can't say my trust hasn't been damaged when it comes to hospitals these days.
Don't kid yourself, the rest of the 90's was pure unadulterated awesome. We should go back.

Hmm, let's see:
-Almost all North American and British mainstream music after, say, 1995. E.g. post-grunge, pop punk, boy bands, pop princesses, nu metal, etc. I basically stopped buying CDs between then and 2000, until I discovered a literal world of good music thanks to Napster and started buying CDs again.
-When buying concert tickets, having to go to the ticketseller days in advance of the sale to get a wristband, wear the wristband for 3 or 4 days, then line up early Saturday morning in the hopes of getting good seats.
-It was hard to find good craft beer, you were stuck with shitty major labels.
-Before Google, search engines were mostly shit.
-So were websites. Such joys:
--Having to wait 4 minutes for a website to load a 300 Kb gif banner.
--blinking/flashing headers
--websites that were basically one huge HTML page 40+ screenlengths or longer
--waiting 10 minutes for Flash elements to load
--Half the internet was tiny, dull text on black backgrounds, or worse, busy background images
-High school. Glad that's over and done with. Hand in hand with my awkward adolescence.
-Crappy movies aimed at teen audiences. For every pretty good one like Clueless or American Pie, there were 10 horrible ones like The Skulls and I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
-I didn't like watching the demise of North American arcade culture firsthand.
-The revival of flares/bell bottoms

So now the North American anime dubbing industry has become just like the Japanese seiyuu? Everyone's trying to sound like the same dozen voices in every single production.Owyn_Merrilin said:
Mustangs[footnote]and most other cars; the whole rounded look really came into style in the late 90's. It looks nice, but it makes for ridiculous blind spots[/footnote] looked pretty good by the mid-late 90's, but good lord were the models from the early 90's ugly. Here's a '92 Mustang for reference:Aris Khandr said:
Talk about a blocky piece of junk...
Basically. Except it's much, much worse. Five voices is being generous -- it's more like five people all trying to do the same two voices, with a little bit more variation for background characters.Falseprophet said:
Get off the internet, I need to use the phone.
My mum still says that.
The clothes my mum used to put me in ;_; I know it was fashion back then but wow. Her cutting mine and my siblings hair too. -_- There's some pictures of my brother when he was a few years old when she cut his hair but completely cocked it up, so had to stick a woolly winter hat on him when she took him to the park in the middle of a hot summer. Lulz were had.
Having to watch this show when I was off school when I got poorly. Bored me to tears.
You people are weird, 90s pop and dance music was the shit. Everybody, backstreet's back, ALRIIIGHHT.

I was born in '95, and I went through the exact same thing.elvor0 said:
What am I doing in this thread, then?
Well, my village, at least technology-wise, was caught in a bit of a stasis field in that time.
I do remember dial up, and old websites. I remember the pop up ad control was so bad my mum was letting me on the pokemon website (which constantly froze, and took a solid minute to load another page) and porn started popping up.
My sisters would bombard me musically with Britney Spears, and such like.
In consolation, the 90's were a very good time for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Definitely Dial Up, Aaron Carter, and all of the denim. Jesus, Levi Strauss crazy, Christ, never again with all of the fucking denim.
Especially when they were teamed with a denim shirt.Cheery Lunatic said:
Oh, I forgot stonewashed denim.
S Club fucking 7 and their offspring band among others.Vault101 said:
