not because anything was objectively better

Absolutely retarded take. Economically things were objectively way better. Racially things were objectively way better. Culturally things were objectively way better.

No, I was a grown man. My nation was 99% white, purchasing power was several times what it is today, women were 10x as easy to deal with then they are today. Everything was so much better in every way.

Kids cared indirectly. We had safe, White neighborhoods. There was community. We knew our neighbors and played with them until the street lights came on. It was a different world.

These are the things that matter to you. These are not all of the things that matter to everyone, ever. All you're doing is showing your age and your bitterness unsolicited.

If you were young, you were getting laid. Driving a cool car. Going to live music. Swimming in the ocean, getting high, bonding with friends.

You don't care about the economy. It's a foreign concept. You're not especially concerned with "racial demographics" because you've seen maybe 1 or 2 niggers, tops, in your high school. Culturally, you're dealing with boomers or Californians trying to steal you away from your community. The only reason that seems qualitatively better to you is because you're being anachronistic about your past. While you were living it, it was just ordinary life and there were plenty of problems and unpleasant experiences to go around.

Hey everyone look, I spotted a (((Trump))) ad min remoralization shill. These are all things that have matterered to all people throughout history
>You're not especially concerned with "racial demographics" because you've seen maybe 1 or 2 niggers, tops
Woah I didn't care about being racially replaced because it hadn't happened yet? That means being racially replaced doesn't make things worse!
>Culturally, you're dealing with boomers or Californians trying to steal you away from your community.
Yeah and now im dealing with the aftermath of that, on top of two decades of constant jewish degenerative mind rape on the population
>You don't care about the economy. It's a foreign concept.
Purchasing power has objectively nose-dived. Whatever demographic I'm in now, I have it worse than the same demographic 20 years ago.

>While you were living it, it was just ordinary life and there were plenty of problems and unpleasant experiences to go around.
Woah bad things also happened in the past so its impossible to make comparisons to how things are now. amazing

Things were better before video games really took over and kids actually went out and played with their friends. I'm glad I grew up at a time where I was riding bikes all day with my bros and actually had a childhood

>>541939354
You have to realize there are literal paid shills to try and convince goys that things are fine, have always been bad and that everything is actually your fault. It really ramped up with trump trying to get whites back on the plantation and into the meat grinding.

..I could go on forever. The 90s were absolutely the golden age of American cinema. "Nigger" wasn't censored, women were appropriately ignored, masculinity was praised, and white men were the primary protagonists.
Just admit you're a retarded kike.

Absolutely. It actually felt optimistic, as though there would be a future with all of us in it, opportunities to learn, expand our horizons and something to look forward to. Now all I look forward to in life is for this miserable fucking existence to end.
It's as though something as simple as a job interview has become an arduous chore, those hopes and dreams you had about a future with you in it, are basically gone and the reality is, you're one of many stuck behind in limbo waiting for the house market to finally crash so you can buy a house and get started, but it's probably not going to happen, some nigger from abroad will get priority and you'll inherit the street, probably die in some war because you get drafted, conscripted or don't even get priority evacuation unlike the niggers who came here for free loot after abandoning their own country.

It's sad really, I try not to think about it too much but those of us that know, know that there was a moment that life is worth living and it's for that reason that many of us go on living, because though it might not be our life that succeeds perhaps our children if any of us are lucky enough to bear, have any hope of turning things back around.

The Rock is completely out of place in this timeframe.

>Were things better back then?
By nearly every metric, yes.
The only thing "better" today is the tech, which is ironically what's making things worse.
>>
>>541938308
It's not just nostalgia. It was pre 9/11 at the peak of American power. The entire vibe of the country was completely different. You wouldn't understand if you weren't there.
>>
>>541940823
Oh wait, this is pointed at 1997ish... the N64 sets the timeframe.
If that's the case, the SNES and 1986 Mario poster are the things that are out of sync. Nobody in 1997 even had their SNES out anymore. By that time the Playstation and N64 completely took over, and those old systems were in a box at the back of the closet.

>waiting for the house market to finally crash so you can buy a house and get started
I own and house and it doesn't change the fact that society is a piece of shit. That alone won't make things better.

I did sell mine for a PS1, true.

No not everyone just went out and got an n64 in 97 you idiot. You weren't there but I'm sure you've watched a ton of youtube nostalgia videos so you think you have an opinion.

yeah, it wasn't like the entire outside world was constantly banging on my mind's door wanting in, i.e. staring at smartphone / computer for 666 hours a day

could actually be offline / unplugged and play vidya and have thoughts that were just your own thoughts about the world around you and what you were directly experiencing, not the consequences of the far off and intangible

i tried watching a film in a theater a few months ago and it was like i couldn't stop wanting to look at my phone for no reason, the brain poison has taken hold of all of us in our own ways
