good music, movies, video games, economy, europe was still white and there was less illegal immigration on the usa.

yeah, it was the last of normalcy

it was ok. the matrix came out, so there was a lot of annoying cyperpunk cunts. popular music was about to turn to shit in the 2000's but some interesting genres developed. the economy was alright as far as I could tell as a high school kid. porn sucked ass compared to now.
idk it wasn't like a golden age or something

Are you a 30+ loser?

Nostalgia has a way of making things seem better than they really were. Beyond the usual sentimental reminiscing, I dont think there was anything all that extraordinary about the 90's. Sure, the decade was interesting in certain ways, especially with all the novel technology, but it was really around the time when cable modems and cell phones became an essential part of life when I could sense a major shift. For better or worse (mostly worse), I think people will look back on the 2000's as much more of an exciting time.

For me, while the 80's was a VAPID decade in many ways, it seems utterly quaint by today's standards, and I definitely yearn for the simplicity. Oh, and the horror movies kicked ass.

I just realized that I ignored your specific question…

Answer: not while I was in it

What did he mean by this?

Nope. 1999 was just another year.

Yeah. Pre-9/11, constant explosive improvement in all aspects of computers, Internet and computers were still 99% white males outside AOL chatrooms, experimental video games had big budgets, anime was just starting to get big. It was a really great time when a new Internet age was dawning.

I watch the Dilbert television show a lot because it reminds me of the dot com zeitgeist around then. It was a new frontier.

I don't recall anything particularily great about 1999 but it sure beats 2017. The Y2K hype was a bit of a cringe, though, as were the spikey haircuts and the shiny silver t-shirts.

That is one mixed nigress. It both disgusts and arouses me

us 30 yo + losers are really the only ones qualified to answer the question, unclefucker… i remember driving to school one morning and listening to a piece on NPR (back when NPR still had a shred of integrity) about the impending release of the new sony playstation being delayed here in murrica because its processors were considered too powerful, and therefore deemed a threat to national security… no fucking joke…

It sure was, OP.

Anti-nostalgia fags are worse than nostalgiafags, IMHO. At least nostalgiafags are having a good time.

Anyway here is an article on why the 90s really were amazing.
