No it wasn't. You were just a kid with no responsibility and no perspective on society

Went to shit after 2005 I feel like lol

We gotta thank Bill "bubba" Clinton for not killing that sand sucker after the first attack when he passed on the chance

That... Didn't age well, did it? This is only 3 years before that tragedy too.

I could say the same thing about zima

@@beauwalker9820 no jackass, the FIRST bombing was in 1993

Time stamp?

Because we aren’t on the sane earth anymore! Either we shifted into a parallel dimension or we all died & don’t remember & went to Hell!!!!

​@@SmallvilleFann1983 Or more likely we just grew up and now we see the world for how fucked up it really is. Don't for a second think we would feel any better in 1998 at our current age, we would be talking about how much better the 70's were (Source: Every person I knew in the 90's who grew up in the 70's). Getting older sucks, but hindsight is always 20/20 and through rose-colored glasses.

​​​@@-Ricky_Spanish- Nostalgia doesn't have to be the focus, even as an adult, it's possible to like the 90s, 80s, or someone older, an older period for many reasons, other than nostalgia. There are comparisons people make all the time to older decades. The OP, doesn't have to be referring to things that they enjoyed, but things just being better in some areas in comparison to today. I was a teen in the early 2000s, so the 90s were a blur to me as a kid, but.... not including things I liked, I can say some things were better than they are today, and of course some things were awful. As an adult, I wish some thing's were the same, but we have to adapt to changes installed by the majority, and find ways to indulge in past practices. I won't say what was better, because it's not PC from a liberals viewpoint, see that's one thing, today, we'll be ridiculed for saying anything the majority hasn't been conditioned to think is "the right way to think." Similar to how globalist were persecuted by flat earthers. I'm not a flat earther, just an example. This comment will self destruct after a reply.

A lot has changed in America since the 80s and 90s, people used to be a lot more open and accepting overall.

@@David-eu1ms Really? Homophobia and racism were very out in the open back then, at least where I grew up. We had race fights regularly in my school in the 90's, and absolutely nobody "came out" as gay, you would be beaten to within an inch of your life. You must have grown up in a different America than I. You can be anything now and people will support you.

This. Nothing but sodomy nowadays.

It's because new commercials are vapid and soulless.

They were so good

So a time period holds a special place for you and the biggest reason is the commercials? LOL you sad sack.

The late 90s seem Apocalyptic in retrospect… just a few years later, 9/11 would destroy any semblance of innocence that the USA had. 😢

@@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker USA innocent? LOLOL Some people are incredible.

@@punkem733 The world is less innocent everyday, genius. 😂 Information and media of all kinds weren't readily available back then, so people lived in their own happy little bubbles. When 9/11 hit, I knew that the false sense of security that the USA has would never return. Be serious, you must know this, you can't be *THAT* stupid! 🤭

Having a kid today must be nuts lol

That’s exactly what I thought!!

Me too

yes but getting old sucks! 😅

I was a teenager through most of it.

Honey ham and chicken

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN

Not just the USA. It's the same in Europe.

The internet brought knowledge of the deeds of the "powers that be" in both our countries, and they've slowly felt more cornered that the truth will come out. These days measures to shut people up have become so drastic they've decided to rather push the secret agenda to its conclusion, and forcibly wipe their slate clean. The Island boy drama with his female cohort are a very valuable learning opportunity, look into her, her father, and what companies he ran. The victors will write the history books!

The internet.

@@fiercekrypton The early 2000's Internet was really cool. I think it was social media that started the turn.

Alternative/parallel universe….

I almost completely forgot about that "swing craze" that briefly made a return to music in the late 90's. Thank god that didn't last long. 😂

@@victoriam2683 Haha true, it still lasted wayyy longer than it shouldve.

Which NBC affiliate?

@@NerdNest83 WNNE TV-31 in White River Junction, Vermont.

@@bryan-po8dn Ah. Sounds like it was fun. Did any of NBC's stars from the 90s ever visit your station, like Jerry Seinfeld, Conan O'Brien or Katie Couric?

​@@bryan-po8dn you still a "Real Live Vermonter"?

Is it true that NBC has tapes of their broadcast everyday that go back for years and year in their vault?

I graduated in '97.

thats what people mean when they say make america great again

"Say goodbye .." Shows wtc 💀

and then there's Fear & Loathing which surpassed initial hype and is a cult classic. that Trailer is a joke

Music video from the 90s.

😂

exactly. Now those same kids follow tick tock and commit suicide

I take it you look like George Costanza now thats why 🤣😂😭

I feel it's a worldwide thing.. toddlers used to sleep so early. Now they're still up after midnight..

I said the exact same thing lmao

Seems like there was more community back then. In the zeitgeist we saw that we had more things in common with other people and today we just see the differences.

Interesting how much air time Budweiser had as compared to today.

I aged from 11 to 21 during the 90’s. There was nothing better than

80’s were the best Then 90’a Everything worse after

@@GuyanaCapital-qr3wg You are right, unfortunately people don't accept this true.

Damn right. No more Super Bars.

The size of the sandwiches have become laughable. A couple junior bacons and a fry used to fill you up. Now its like buying a whit castle slider with lettuce on it. Such a shame

He'd probably get tired of waiting for his food and go to McDonald's.

​@@joshiszkula211lmao

Me too! My life was just beginning and I was EXCITED for it!

Class of 1998 here also. I do my best to maintain the same sense of enthusiasm that I had at that time, even though the world is so much more ugly now.

We were the class of nineteen naughty eight at our school.. Loved growing up biking around and only have a few memorized phone numbers of friends and family...

Im class of 1997. High school , ofc.

Yup! Now its all a competition for who can champion sodomy the hardest.

I was 9 and in 4th grade back in 1998

Yes

I was 6

I was 11 years old

Boomer

Grew up in Dearborn Heights. The nostalgia is crazy.

Nobody will. The 20's just suck.

@@Schnipp08 The 1970s sucked but people feel nostalgia for them. OTOH, the 2020s (and the 2010s) don't seem to have a distinctive aesthetic like the decades of the 20th century did (and the 00s - the last creative decade).

They didn't have a clue that their government was pure fucking evil maybe that's why

Different times.

LOL you are serious? People were happier in the commercials? That can't be acting though, it's cause it was the 90's lololol

@punkem7332 I spose people where better at faking happiness...what I ment was there wasn't any professional victimization or wokeness being pushed in a simple commercial. Just brands tryin to sell a product.

@@danslininger1315 preach it

This comment here. 😭 There was still a sense of innocence in the USA that 9/11 destroyed forever.

My stepdad was working in Denver when 9/11 happened. He was a welder and the job was supposed to be for a couple of months but he got an extension into September. On that day, after the planes hit both towers and they came down, nobody wanted to work. Grown men and women were reduced to tears, all the guys he worked with, including himself, felt like scared, helpless little boys. Later on the supervisor called it and let them off early. They went to a bar downtown, drank, watched the news reports continuously. Afterwards, one of the guys he worked with told them to bow their heads and led them in prayer. I was 8 years when this happened. He told me all this when I was 16 in 2009. He is no longer here, he passed away in 2021, but this what he told me, all this and nothing more.

@@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker The U.S. was racist AF before the 90s. The 2020s are fantastic!!!

@@TravelerVolkriin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Most Lowest Common Denominator comment here! 😂

​@@SelfRighteousNewAgeLightWorker How old were you then?

That Godzilla commercial didn't age well, did it?

1998 and 1999 were two of the best years for movies in history....you could go to the theater every weekend and see multiple future classics

@@tynao2029we saw Apollo 13, then Titanic, then Independence Day, then Armageddon. We didn’t go to the movies but maybe once a year, but those were all winners.

Fun fact: I went to the theater to see Godzilla no less than 3 times. Once with my elementary school, once with my brother, and once with my cousins. I was 9 years old at the time.

Yes

…what?

@@zerosoma33 as I’m watching the commercials wondering dam when is the show coming on it’s only commercials It was a joke

Which one?

I literally just commented this to someone else’s comment. We most definitely are in an alternate/parallel reality now.

Same here
