I remember hearing the same about the 30s to granny, about the 70s to the other granny, about the 80s to my aunts…. 90s were depressing, 2000s I remember loads of excitement and FOMO, 2010s yeah…. I see your point 😬
Don't forget about Homicide, Life on the Street TV show, and Twin Peaks. They are still being watched. Kyle Secor and Reed Diamond have a podcast about Hlots. @homicidelor @thereeddiamond
Gen X came alive back in the 1990s.
Still drive a 1991 blue Acura Integra. Going strong with only 100k miles on it.
Love it! 90s cars were cool. Especially early 90s.
To be fair, I bought it in 2011. Only one previous owner who drove it to the store and back. It’s kind of iconic in our neighbourhood now. 🤩

As for cars, the only thing I’d add is the Chevrolet “Like a Rock” commercials. Every time I hear that Bob Seger song, I think I need a truck.

Great points!
The 70s rocked as hard as the 90s to my understanding
What about the 70s is great in your opinion?
Rock music level
Some of the things that were better, out of the top of my head:
Prog and punk covered both sides of nerdy fancy and raw rebellious. Black music hasn't deteriorated to commercial soulless crap.
Partying was better and much heavier.
People weren't hypochondriac pussies. They'd drink, smoke, fuck, be out there.
Gay culture wasn't vanilla establishment safe.
People had way more sex.
No helicopter parents.
No computer shit (better in lots of ways).
Way less bureucracy.
And I wasn't even born then. It's no nostalgia, it's awareness of the relative merits from studying modern history, biography, era accounts, etc.
