    Why I’m personally happy the 90’s will never happen again.

    Before people get flippant about this post, I’d like to remind EVERYONE that I’m not personally insulting them. I was born in the dawn of the 90’s, ‘91 to be exact. I just refuse to jump onto the bandwagon of pretentious dicks that think that they are somehow better because they grew up (or believe they grew up) in the 1990’s

    I don’t understand why nostalgia has become such a big deal in my generation. It’s like my generation is so intent on looking back in the past, the fail to see the future. They fail to see what we will have to make of that future.

    No knowledge of old 90’s shows or games is going to help. That nostalgia trip you had when you listened to the old X-Men cartoon theme yesterday? Completely pointless. Frankly, no one really cares.

    Some may use it as a means of starting a conversation. If you use nostalgia as a crutch for socializing, you may need some practice.

    Here is what I remember about the 90’s:

    1. Shitty music: such as Billy Ray Cyrus and Backstreet Boys. People remember how they LOVED these things when you were 5. However, if you saw somebody jamming out to “BackStreet’s back” you’d probably judge them harshly. But maybe that just makes you the asshole…Anyways, shit music at the same level as shit music today.
    2. Dial-Up: Fuck that shit.
    3. YouTube: Nonexistent 
    4. the 90’s were great! PSYCH!
    5. rat tails: what are you, a padawan?
    6. Terrible game graphics: Of course, games like ocarina of Time are great, the graphics sucked, as opposed to what we have now.
    7. Beanie Babies: Fuck that shit too.
    8. Cartoons: Animation has improved 100 fold. If iyou believe 90’s cartoons were better because of content, I suggest you watch stuff like Regular Show or Adventure Time. Funny as hell. And a lot less fart and booger jokes than 90’s cartoons
    9. Not everyone had cellphones. So much for that. Maybe you could drop in on a party-line. Just your weeks allowance per minute per caller.
    10. The Gulf War
    11. Happy Meals: Give to your kid. Kid gets fat. Blame McDonald’s.
    12. Furbies and Nano Pets: fuck that alien shit.
    13. Hit Clip: Listen to your favorite shitty pop song over and over…. and over… and over…….
    14. Two words: Pauly Shore.
    15. Power Rangers: technicolor terror. Bad acting, poor stunts, poor effects.
    16. Polly Pocket: The perfect gift to choke your annoying baby sister.
    17. POG: Really? How was this even popular with these kids? the game wasn’t even invented in the 90’s. Great. Another reason to get a Happy Meal.
    18. The conception and birth of Justin Bieber. They thought it was a good idea at the time.
    19. the “NOW That’s What I Call Music” CD’s: Listen to all of the most popular shit music around. or you could just record it on a cassette when it is played on the radio. your call.
    20. IN SPEAKING OF CASSETTE TAPES!
    21. Teletubbies: more technicolor shit
    22. Hyperactive kid? Give him Ritalin.
    23. MTV: The beginning of the downfall
    24. Pepsi Clear: And you thought Diet Coke was bad….wehehellllllll…..
    25. Y2K Madness: Echk.

    I may as well end the list here before I go overboard.
