The 90s Was The Last Great Decade

Political Correctness isn't even a real thing. It's just a bunch of stupid talking head on the teevee yacking about how horrible it is that some government official gave advice on how not to be an asshole in an unusual situation while the teevee jackass plays a clip of some random, ugly, easily offended person being offended at something stupid.
Nothing is happening now that hasn't happened since the day after someone first learned to be an inconsiderate twat.

There are dark and violent things for adults. Oh and by the way, did you seen toy story 3, it got pretty fucking dark.
Bah- most of the best stuff on TV in the 90's were just reruns of stuff from the 80's anyway.
Rugrats was the bomb though.

I can't remember everything back in the 90s but the entertainment was far superior in quality compared to today's garbage (well not everything today is bad, we do have pony's 
). Actually, the early 2000's were really good too now that I think about it, especially for the gaming scene.

Very true.
I remember watching DBZ in the late 90s as a child and it was completely uncensored, blood and holes-blown-through-people and everything. Then when it got remastered they removed most of the blood and violence. It's pathetic. Who cares? I'm not going around beating people up or being overly violent.

The theory that mankind is in a permament descent (i.e. yesterday was better than today) has been around for, what, every possible timespan since the creation of man?
It's normal, I guess, because our memory is selective, and we are always afraid to some degree of what lies ahead.
My favourite take on it is this: "There's never gonna be another day as good as today - so make something of it!"

me the only good thing about the 90's was the end of it, the time I like to call the golden age of games.
games from the end of the 90's and 2 or 3 years into this century are still most of the most loved and played games of all times, like Starcraft, Half-life and Zelda: Ocarina of time comes from that era, and not to mention the mega success of The Sims.
it was the time when the internet was making it's way into the common man's home and pretty much every kid had some kind of console attatched to their TV.
ah... nostalgia ^_^
anw, I still wouldn't go back though, this day and age is pretty nice, and I think that great things are about to happen in the future.

There was a lot to dislike in the 90's. A lot of things to like too. But you were too young to know/remember what sucked. I refer you to the quote of Mr Randy the Ram Robinson:DarthScorpio11 said:
It was a cynical, flannel wearing, boy band filled, vhs watching decade. It gave us new polarizing political media, and an internet where you could only download things at 58 kb's tops (at the end of the decade even) unless you were some kind of sultan. What's more we 80's kids were less than impressed with most of your cartoons and their distinct lack of swearing robots.
And grunge people smelled bad. I don't know if you knew that, but they did. Most fashions were horrible. Though I suppose I'd trade a popular current of cynicism for our modern current: OF DESPAIR. Political correctness was rife in the 90's too kiddo, dunno if you knew that but that is when the phrase started getting kicked around by the likes of Limbaugh. If anything though we need a little more political correctness today and less accusing our presidential candidates of being terrorists or racists respectively.
For what it's worth I thought the 00's had the best music, the internet matured in that time and people started watching anime... like popularly. Also, gaming culture went mainstream and some great shows were made. Yeah. Also girls looked great in the 00's, fashions were flattering. On that front they weren't so bad.
I don't know what you guys are talking about with the popular culture getting worse. People were still celebrity obsessed, "reality TV" was in full swing and today's trope idiot kids had their analogs in history.
The 90s were largely conflict free for the UK and US (at least compared to the present), so there is that. But it had really god awful fashion, astonishingly bad pop music, the rise of loutish lad's mags, and India, China, and Nigeria were a lot poorer than today. Plus, not much in the way of internet.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOO FUCKING NOOOOO!!!!
uhhh Im sorry for that...really I am, this just really annoys me
look its nostalga ok? its a powerful thing that messes up your perspective
not saying there isnt truth but when it comes down to it its subjective..I mean acording to what alot of people have to say in the internetz you would think we are living in a post-apacaliptic wasteland right now
all I have to say is that current gen games are awsome,
