rodrigo90: I miss the 90's so much

JustJoe. 04.02.18	I love the '90s. m/
rabidfish 04.02.18	how can you be a teacher, weren't you like 15?
rodrigo90 04.02.18	I WISH I HAD 15
rodrigo90 04.02.18	Not my happiest year though.
bloc 04.02.18	1 is godly
rabidfish 04.02.18	ah yea, the year 15 was trash... Now, year 19 was cool af, Agrippa finally finished that damned aqueduct, that shit was bangin'.
TheSpaceMan 04.02.18	Ah the 90s
Drifter 04.02.18	90's must've been lame cuz I wasn't there
MO 04.02.18	Hear fucking hear dude The best decade, movies I find were especially excellent, way better than what's made now
MO 04.02.18	Double post for the 90's that's fine
Inveigh 04.02.18	90s was the last great decade for mainstream music and film agreed
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	It really wasn't that good
Inveigh 04.02.18	compared to the 70s? no it wasn't. compared with the 2000s and 2010s? it destroys
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	No, they weren't that good no matter the grading curve.
Inveigh 04.02.18	Faith No More - Angel Dust Boris - Akuma No Uta Down - NOLA Death - Human Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick Corrosion of Conformity - Deliverance OutKast - Aquemini Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger Type O Negative - Bloody Kisses Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die Pearl Jam - Vs.

AngryLittleAlchemist 04.02.18	I don't miss being a fetus
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	Thanks, I'll get right on those Hi ALA
TheSpaceMan 04.02.18	Better than the 70s
Inveigh 04.02.18	i mean sandwich you have 16,000 albums rated you've clearly lived a 1000 lives and heard everything you don't need to take recs from me
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	Can't wait for the 2020s, you'll all see. You'll all see sorry you had to find out that way, Inveigh.
neekafat 04.02.18	fuck the 90s
Deez 04.02.18	Dude you had ACTUAL music television with GREAT music on. So far removed from what 'Mainstream' is nowadays. No matter what genre you liked. Personally I had 'Yo MTV raps' AND 'Headbangers ball' I found so much good shit just from those shows. You could go to gigs without people filming every damn song through a phone (obviously but...) Demo tapes, Fanzines. Movies where much better also. Everything is so waterdown now its incredible.
Meridiu5 04.02.18	movies I find were especially excellent, way better than what's made now [2]
zakalwe 04.02.18	Nobody offended. No franchised football. Liquid Lunches. No poncyness No arseyness. Music everywhere Phones nowhere. No security guards at gigs. Community. 90s >
Sinternet 04.02.18	4, 5 and 6 are just basic growing older things arcades always were a ripoff, if you want actual good nostalgia try LAN parties tv is better than it's ever been thanks to companies like netflixing budgeting actually creative ideas and other big companies doing the same - specifically in terms of cartoons it took until at least the early 200s to reach the golden age and there's been mini revivals every few years since and really? you think there are less people 'appreciating' anime these days? spend two minutes in any high school or college and you'll spot like ten weebs all of this is just rose-tinted glasses bullshit
ExecutiveExecuterexe 04.02.18	I miss the 20s
Deathconscious 04.02.18	I thought rod was like 20 or something. I was born in 91 so i guess i cant really say i miss the 90s, life seems awesome when youre a kid so thats probably all it was.
zakalwe 04.02.18	Nah I was a kid in the 80s. It was shit.
Zig 04.02.18	Totally understand you, rodrigo90. Miss those days too. Fantastic decade to be a kid.
Tunaboy45 04.02.18	been tossing around the idea of going into teaching too, hope it goes well for you mate
zakalwe 04.02.18	I think we’ve discussed it before Tuna dude. I’ve always fancied being a teacher, I really do take my hat off to ‘em. They put up with a lot of shit and get fuck all credit.
Tunaboy45 04.02.18	Yeah we definitely have, I wouldn't mind teaching a sixth form or maybe year 10/11 secondary school but I don't think I'd like primary teaching and year 7/8/9 are little shits (source: me, who was my all accounts a little shit) teachers really do get a lot of shit and a lot of them are underpaid for how important their job is
zakalwe 04.02.18	Politicising education, government statistics fucked it all up. But yeah little shits, I’d have ‘em by the throat. :D
Tunaboy45 04.02.18	your style is unorthodox but by gum does it results
BigBlob 04.02.18	no camera phone fuks at concerts
zakalwe 04.02.18	On that note, smash the little fuckers phones when they act up. Won’t behave will you grab phone, stomp on it shut it cunt and focus. Crop rotation in the 14th century..... Yep. I’d love to be a teacher.
Rik VII 04.02.18	"movies I find were especially excellent, way better than what's made now" In America, definitely. But the 00s have seen foreign nations flourish in the art form, especially South Korea and Japan.
TheSpaceMan 04.02.18	"arcades always were a ripoff, if you want actual good nostalgia try LAN parties" halo LAN all day but fighting game arcade life was the real deal too
BigBlob 04.02.18	"arcades always were a ripoff" but it was always your parents money lol
cold 04.02.18	This entire thread makes me want to die
BigBlob 04.02.18	go back to facebook then you noughties newb
cold 04.02.18	I mean die with sadness and the longing after what used to be bitch
BigBlob 04.02.18	oh right. yeah me too then. wish Y2K was actually a thing and it ended the world bang on NYE 1999
cold 04.02.18	People always want to use the "nostalgia" or "rose-colored glasses" excuse to downplay what the 90's were. I can understand that if you were an adult during then, or not even born at all. I say fuck that because I was a kid, a pre-teen, and a teenager all in the 90's and all of my good times were spent in that decade and I'll never get it back. WE ALL WILL NEVER GET IT BACK AGAIN.
JustJoe. 04.02.18	Bingo.
neekafat 04.02.18	This generation's heat gonna be saying the same thing about the 10s, I grew up during the 00s and music is way better now anyway
cold 04.02.18	I just want to be woken up by the neighborhood kids knocking on my window in my TMNT jammies on my Power Rangers bedset just so we could spend hours trying to beat that boss on whatever SNES RPG we were playing and then go outside and ride our bikes to the fields and pretend we were in the WWF and suplex each other until one of us got hurt. Being 32 really sucks.
cold 04.02.18	@neeka you said fuck the 90's so now I question every single thing about you. You let me down, man.
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	90s did give us this gem, so I can't be too hard on the decade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ0xBCwkg3E
cold 04.02.18	Who remembers this at the beginning of all of your TMNT cartoon VHS tapes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bH9keUHnfvo
zakalwe 04.02.18	“I grew up during the 00s and music is way better now anyway” I’d agree with this tbh. There’s better albums, better bands and a better ‘scene’ but it’s still absolutely nothing compared to what went before. The 00s were the pits.
AnimalsAsSummit 04.02.18	the 90s were amazing yee
cold 04.02.18	"“I grew up during the 00s and music is way better now anyway” I’d agree with this tbh. There’s better albums, better bands and a better ‘scene’ but it’s still absolutely nothing compared to what went before. The 00s were the pits." Do you guys remember that episode of South Park where everything is shit to Stan? That's how I've felt since about 2008.
BigBlob 04.02.18	the 00s was the start of the era of affordable recoring equipment for the masses. meant everyone and their dog thought they were some kinda of musical god. resulted in a lot of shitty bands
cold 04.02.18	"the 00s was the start of the era of affordable recoring equipment for the masses. meant everyone and their dog thought they were some kinda of musical god. resulted in a lot of shitty bands" I'm all about that old-school lo-fi, just using a 4-track and making shitty music the old way, hahaha.
zakalwe 04.02.18	It just needs a 20yr old to grab the youtube crowd around the throat and shake them from their social media prison with a refreshing burst of real energy, anger and lack of compromise. It’ll never happen though, everyone’s too comfortable with conformity. Compounded with Infantilism.
cold 04.02.18	YouTube personalities/celebrities are the fucking worst. ever.
BigBlob 04.02.18	worst thing ever is wanting to check out a computer game's gameplay on youtube before you buy. click on a vid and the first thing you hear is some utter fuckwit shouting at you in a fake voice.
zakalwe 04.02.18	Agreed hard. The absolute bane of ‘popular culture’
cold 04.02.18	"worst thing ever is wanting to check out a computer game's gameplay on youtube before you buy. click on a vid and the first thing you hear is some utter fuckwit shouting at you in a fake voice." TOP OF DA MORNIN 2 U LADDIES, MY NAME IS JACKCAKSDHOFASIODFIO
BigBlob 04.02.18	HEY GUYS DONT FORGET TO LIKE, SUB AND SHARE. ALSO BUY MY MERCH!!!! fucking fuck off
zakalwe 04.02.18	Anyone remember John Peel? RIP.
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	"I'm all about that old-school lo-fi, just using a 4-track and making shitty music the old way" I heard a good opinion in these comments so I'm back, what's up
foxblood 04.02.18	"90's must've been lame cuz I wasn't there" >only listens to 90's hip-hop what did he mean by this?
mindleviticus 04.02.18	moby is the most vanilla music on the planet
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	He's taking his first steps into the kingdom of lamewads, fox
cold 04.02.18	""I'm all about that old-school lo-fi, just using a 4-track and making shitty music the old way" I heard a good opinion in these comments so I'm back, what's up" I still got that Tascam 4-track, bruh
Keyblade 04.02.18	Ii was just thinking about this funnily enough. metal in particular was way better in the 90's
Rik VII 04.02.18	Yeah, people keep saying that metal was dead in the 90s due to grunge and stuff, but actually it was just unsuccessful. During that time, the genre really started to grow up, with bands like Death or Blind Guardian experimenting with their respective sub-genres.
Drifter 04.02.18	Lol fox
Deez 04.02.18	YouTube personalities/celebrities are the fucking worst. ever.' Reaction videos are the worst. The second you have to get a camera out to Film your own reaction then its not a legit reaction anymore. Urgggggh. Im sure kids will say the same about this generation when theyre older but the difference is theyre fucking WRONG.
cold 04.02.18	"Reaction videos are the worst. The second you have to get a camera out to Film your own reaction then its not a legit reaction anymore. Urgggggh. Im sure kids will say the same about this generation when theyre older but the difference is theyre fucking WRONG." Yeah, that shit irks me to no end. I mean, kids these days are on YouTube watching other kids play with toys, INSTEAD OF GETTING THEIR OWN TOYS. It makes no sense to me, I use YouTube for vine compilations, old video games, car crash videos, and 80's and 90's commercials. Bring back YouTube to the mid-late 2000's days
neekafat 04.02.18	Coldheaven I don't hate the 90s, I just hate nostalgia-based opinions toawrd every goddamn thing in the media lately lmao I don't think the 90s are better than anything else, I don't really think they're worse. The music is pretty good though
neekafat 04.02.18	"The second you have to get a camera out to Film your own reaction then its not a legit reaction anymore." I mean, that's literally what my 1st listen list series is
JustJoe. 04.02.18	It'd only be the same if you posted a video/link of yourself typing your reactions to your first listen.
cold 04.02.18	"Coldheaven I don't hate the 90s, I just hate nostalgia-based opinions toawrd every goddamn thing in the media lately lmao" You mean to tell me you don't have nostalgia for the time when you were a kid? Or was that too recently?
neekafat 04.02.18	It's the same thing lmao, the idea that others are going to be perceiving a reaction to something means that you're altering your reaction, no matter how slight Same concept that you never really know what you look like in the mirror because you're subtly changing your own physicality
zakalwe 04.02.18	It’s inane, vapid, inconsequential bullshit with no substance. Sowing probably does it.
neekafat 04.02.18	"You mean to tell me you don't have nostalgia for the time when you were a kid? Or was that too recently?" I do, but I don't really feel nostalgia for the 00s. Sure, when a certain song or movie comes up, or when I visit an old place, yeah. But as for the decade as a whole, the way things were? Not really. Maybe it's just because that decade sucked in general and didn't really have much in terms of uniqueness
zakalwe 04.02.18	I couldn’t agree more dude.
cold 04.02.18	Maybe I just miss being a kid, guys. GREAT NEEKA, NOW i'M SAd
rodrigo90 04.02.18	I forgot to say that in the 90's in our country we could travel to Miami like we travel to any city in our country, but we did it but killing our own industry. Back in the days 1 peso equalled 1 dollar, now 1 dollar equals like 20 pesos, so someone from Europe or U.S.A. could literally buy half of the country...
neekafat 04.02.18	So maybe I just can't relate to the way people feel about the 90s or 80s because my decade was ass, or maybe getting nostalgic for "the way things were" just isn't my kinda thing
neekafat 04.02.18	I'm sorry coldheaven, I love you :c
cold 04.02.18	Nice Silverchair pick btw
rodrigo90 04.02.18	I first put freak show, but since I think that nobody cares about the first 2 albums I changed my mind, although their first 4 albums are THE GLORY
cold 04.02.18	You ain't wrong about that
rodrigo90 04.02.18	I might like young modern in a future but not now. Now that I listened the last songs of 30stm I kinda think that young modern is genius.
TheSpaceMan 04.02.18	I feel like it's largely because the 90s to 2000s saw a massive technological step increase with the whole digital boom, and cultural identity nearly struggled to keep up. We've sort of caught up now with culture much more comfortable with these new trends and playing into them well
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	2010s piracy > 1990s piracy
cold 04.02.18	Yo, what a thrill it was to wait for your favorite song to come on the radio so you could record that shit with a cassette.
bloc 04.02.18	Omg yeah, the suspense of having your finger on the record button to get the full song was such a feeling. And I always cursed when the DJ would start talking before the song ended lol
cold 04.02.18	I always hated that shitttttt, I used to record shitloads of VHS tapes full of old MTV, VH1 and Nickelodeon. Think I need to find all of those.
JustJoe. 04.02.18	I have like hundreds of VHS tapes with movies & cartoons & shit. So much HBO stuff. That intro for music before they played a movie, so stellar; the '80s intro trumps the '90s one, though.
CalculatingInfinity 04.02.18	This thread is just...depressing. Everything has its heyday, different mediums/genres/scenes will grow or stagnate depending on circumstance. Sure it's great to think of awesome memories you have but bitching about how it is not the same now is not the best mindset. Move onto things which are amazing now or a new thing back in the past which was awesome.
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	Can't wait for 2010s nostalgia, already stocking up on my favorite fad toys
cold 04.02.18	@joe, you mean THIS gem??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1NKoMNy5bY
Keyblade 04.02.18	it's not even just music, sports was more exciting back then too. football (as in futbol) was so much better in the 90's and early 00's it's not even funny. basketball too, tho it's more of a personal taste thing. the jerseys back then were 🔥
cold 04.02.18	Fuck yes, blade
JustJoe. 04.02.18	Yep, that's the one. Those guitars, man.
foxblood 04.02.18	all the juicing up in baseball was a huge letdown to me as a kid, throwing out the whole point of the game and sportsmanship. Mark McGwire, Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa etc.
zakalwe 04.02.18	Spot on about the football. I honestly think the 90s in general was the last era where hearts were worn on sleeves. Things really mattered. Nobody gave a fuck about how they sold themselves it was all about ‘the music club’ ‘the latest clothing label’ ‘ ‘the pre-match pint’ ‘the gang mentality with your mates on holiday’ Obviously that’s a cultural thing but now the culture has been eroded by an almighty homogeneous global social media glob of nothing.
Deez 04.02.18	Was going to mention sports. The atmosphere was better. There was an edge. It was a working class game (football) Now theres families flying in from al over the world and you get told to fucking sit down for trying to create an atmosphere. Its mental. Jesus even the WWF as a kid, I dont watch it anymore but have a look at the reactions compared to the sterility of now. Its not simply a case of 'your childhood being better' Things where clearly better in the 90s. The internet is the best thing thats happened in my lifetime clearly but its overkill. Its created a now culture that seeps into everywhere. Pampered, Entitled, Self important consumers. I used to have to write an actual letter to bands with a pound in to get a demo. That sounds shit but its only know i realise it wasnt in comparison to the throw away digital music youre unconnected too but smart phones are the real killer. Theyve disconnected everyone.
GmemberKills 04.02.18	fox kids, arcades, and anime really hit me hard. also 90's anime had the some of the greatest animation style ever. I hate the standard style of animation most anime use now
zakalwe 04.02.18	There lies the rub. The internet is fucking amazing. A technological marvel but it’s got a lot to answer for tbh.
cold 04.02.18	"Was going to mention sports. The atmosphere was better. There was an edge.

Holy shit deezer with the gatdamn knowledge
CalculatingInfinity 04.02.18	" Its mental. Jesus even the WWF as a kid, I dont watch it anymore but have a look at the reactions compared to the sterility of now." Watch NJPW. One thing gets worse, find a better alternative. "I used to have to write an actual letter to bands with a pound in to get a demo. That sounds shit but its only know i realise it wasnt in comparison to the throw away digital music youre unconnected too" I really don't see what's the problem here. All because it's easier to get equipment nowadays doesn't mean that the creation of art is less satisfying.
SandwichBubble 04.02.18	Calc is actually speaking sense, y'all listen
CalculatingInfinity 04.02.18	Thanks :]
rodrigo90 04.02.18	You know what Im remembering now? pump it up
Deez 04.02.18	One thing gets worse, find a better alternative.' But better alternatives arent always an option. Thats a massive over simplification. And missing the point as there arent alterantives nowadays that compare. You have to make alternatives thats part of life. The point about buying a demo and writing a letter to a band etc was one of connection and was more so alluding to the old HxC scene. Society now is disconnected. Even just buying a ton of CDs every month maybe 5 or 6 Id never heard before and sitting down with it and reading it etc Finding music on the whole is much better than when I was a kid but there is most definitely a throw away disconnect with people downloading albums. Thats not even debatable. And something im most guilty of also.
Deez 04.02.18	How do I find an alternative to my football club Ive followed all my life which used to be working class men singing for hours on end about their city now overrun with tourists who only go their to experience an atmosphere which now doesnt exist because those people dont get sold the tickets anymore? Go and simply support someone else? You find alternatives where you can of course, But its a completely different world form the 90s (obviously) And thats not saying there arent MANY sweet thingsabout being alive today , there are. Porn is WELL better for example. Having to wait to borrow a VHS form some shady guy in work/school and then find the time when nobody was home to use the Video recorder sucked!
Keyblade 04.02.18	"also 90's anime had the some of the greatest animation style ever. I hate the standard style of animation most anime use now" Dragon Ball is the perfect example. the DBZ animation and art style in the 90's was just cold. Dragon Ball super 20 years later looks like straight ass cheeks
CalculatingInfinity 04.02.18	@deezer: What I said find an alternative, I should have been clearer to say that it doesn't have to particularly be a competitive alternative to the thing you don't enjoy anymore. It can be finding an alternative product or a new hobby/band etc altogether; kinda sucks doing that but it's far better than being sad over something you will never have again. Like your point with your football club yes I agree there is no direct replacement for that, however, something else needs to fill the void. I'm just suggesting that being happy with the fact such a nice thing was there and making a better tomorrow is much better than complaining about the fact it isn't there anymore. Also what connection? What connection does writing that letter to a band compared to creating something from scratch yourself and why is it better? Regarding your point about a disconnected society, now that I can't agree with more. The internet has killed communities, everything is far more insular and that is terrible for mental health. The social aspect of activities is barely there in comparison to what it was. @Key: Yeah it looks arse. I really like how anime looks today however, it has different strengths compared to 90's stuff. For example more simple and relaxed shows I prefer nowadays than with the 90's style.
Deez 04.02.18	@calc Dude youve got me confused for someone who cries in the corner about the 90s being gone!Ive travelled to over 35 countries since then, Im fine. Im just Reminiscing in this thread!You get on with life, New alternatives pop up of course sure you might not get sweet af music videos on MTV anymore but weve got Youtube for example but the point was missing the 90s and why they were better and they were. Crowds were. Because the masses hadnt been as Desensitized to everything as much as nowadays.Jesus I cant make faces at a kid on the train because his parents are terrified im gonna snatch him and put him in my cellar ( I might ) Sure the footballs shitter than it was its not gonna stop me going. You're comparing my point about writing to receive a demo to 'creating something yourself' I dont get the relevance.Im not talking about creating anything myself. Im comparing having to write to a band to get a demo therefore making a connection with said band, Having a physical thing in your hands with lyrics etc etc to downloading however many records online a week and simply deleting them. It took time to do and therefore more patience in the listening and more respect for what it was, which can be said about downloading in general. The act of having do something, Anything, other than pressing download made that connection more tangible and real and less 'throwaway'. Eveything nowadays seems so 'now' and simply 'throw away'.
Papa Universe 04.02.18	"fuck the 90s" well neek, you just hate it cause you probably weren't born then.
rodrigo90 04.02.18	4, 5 and 6 are just basic growing older things Yeah I couldn't think of specific topics such as the first three because I was way too young and I can barely remember the first half of the decade.
rodrigo90 04.02.18	It's funny because my teenage occured during the early 00's but I felt more comfortable with what happened in the 90's.
rodrigo90 04.02.18	Btw, this list screams to be featured....
Jasdevi087 04.02.18	Hey nice "wr0nk generation" ciclejerk boys
McP3000 04.02.18	haha this turned into a real discussion --
CalculatingInfinity 04.02.18	@deezer: In terms of being desensitised, unfortunately nothing can be really done to stop that. It makes 'lesser' content appear that much cooler I got to admit. For the demo point I thought you meant writing to bands and such to promote the demo, not for the band's demo yourself. That makes far more sense. I agree with the notion of having something tangible makes you develop a more personal relationship with your music. Something that I liked was in the Cannibal Corpse documentary was sending and sharing tapes through the mail, thought that was badass so in terms of local bands, that's something which exists less here. As a counterpoint though, the option to still invest in albums in multiple formats still remains. In fact in some aspects downloading helps you in that regard, for example myself. There's stuff that would cost me £60 or more that I wouldn't try before listening to it first, and download allows me to do that. If it wasn't for downloading, I wouldn't have a collection with a bunch of rare items to call my own.
Deez 04.03.18	the demo point I thought you meant writing to bands and such to promote the demo' Ahhh ok gotcha hahah thought I was going mental there. I'm with you Re downloads man there's good and bad points which have been done a million times over. I love I can get through so much more and there's less chance of missing something I really like . But when I think back of how you'd take a chance on a CD just randomly,I dunno, you were parting with cash and it was almost like gambling and when you unearthed a treasure it was so awesome. Coming home with 15 cos and some vinyl and not knowing if you'd even like 3 of them they just appealed. Again it's the tangible thing. It's the investment of your time. That's gone for a lot of people . You can download something and make a decision right away. There are many gems I'd find I didn't like initially but I spent more time with because id actually bought them. This isn't a major thing about the 90s though haha just something I remember.
UpwardSpiral 04.03.18	people still watch tv?
