Zoomer here. The 90's didn't really look like this... right?...
Not in Laos
For me, it was closer to Hey Arnold to be honest
>>738667074The only even remotely accurate one is the overalls girl bottom image second in. Even that's a stretch.
No not even close. This is zog funded propaganda
>>738667074Not the people but the piss filter was real until 9/11
>>738667074Bottom game had this at least
>>738667074>The 90's didn't really look like thisNo, it's just modern day millennials larping being gen x teens in the 90s.
>>738667074nope
>>738667074Even if this game didn’t have lesbians, you could tell it was made by turbo leftists just from screenshots
THE 90S LOOKED LIKE THIS CHUD
>>738667074Top middle... girl? dude? is decent 90s aesthetic. Not great but it wouldn't look out of place in something set in the 90s. The guy to the right would have been mocked/avoided for the creepy pedostache, but I guess it's accurate in the sense that weird dudes like that existed. The girl to the left just looks retarded, I've never seen someone wear a t-shirt over a turtleneck like that. The bottom stuff is just goofy slop. The girl in overalls has a passable outfit MAYBE but the hair and facepaint ruin it.
>>738667074what's up with the rise of Dustborncore games?
>>738667074Ugly people have existed in every generation
>>738667074https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR88BgYMlbQ&t=458sthis is 90s.
>>738667074Millennial here, yeah we had transsexuals, girl bosses, abortions and niggers too.We also worshiped Moloch in the open for fun and sexual favors.
As a 35 year ok, I no longer understand why people jerk off the 90s and 00s so much. Shit was even more corporate consumerist than now.
It really didn't.
>>738667074The top one is an ok representation. The bottom one is full retard.
Flannel, indoor sunglasses and heroinhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naoSdrzqh-M
>>738667840Good old days before 9/11
>>738667074Where are the flannel shirts?
>>738667074The main thing about the 90's is we went out a lot.Videogames kinda sucked at this point, the internet basically didn't exist yet, only way to talk to your friends was on your house phone, and television was pretty lame.So you wandered the neighborhood and met up with other kids who were doing the same.This all shifted dramatically in the 00's, so anyone under 26 has no experience with the old world.
>>738667074Abso fucking lutely not.People dressed like Johnny Knoxville.
>>738667074Holy FUCK this artstyle is hideous.What is the game at the bottom again? I know the one at the top is that retarded Mixtape game that western critics are trying to convince everyone is the greatest game of the generation, but I forgot the one at the bottom.
>>738668320>Videogames kinda sucked at this point, the internet basically didn't exist yet, only way to talk to your friends was on your house phone, and television was pretty lame.This. Video games were pixelated trash, tv shows were unbelievably shit and movies were ok, which is why people went to the movies. The first tolerable video games started coming out in 1996.Pop culture sucked so much we thought dragon ball was watchable.
>>738667074sleeve tatoos were not a thing in the 90's no. shit is post 00's pornstar shit that became normiecore, just like shaving your pubes completely
>>738667074I lived in South America in the 90s, my childhood was pretty much an anime, complete with a tsundere classmate.
>>738667074no, and I want to beat every californian canuck basedlennial who made this to death with my bare hands
>>738667074It didn't in any of the places I lived.
the thing all this shit gets wrong (aside from forced diversity) is that 80% of kids were preppy or retarded. the idea that every teenager is like some hip arty, physically fit rebel in a graphic tee couldnt be further from the truth. the kids into art and music were mostly acne ridden out of shape losers, and the happy kids were mostly shallow preppy kids that listened to top 40 and did sports.
>>738667074No.Every indie developer depiction you've seen of this time period is usually false.
>BROWN PEOPLE DIDN'T EXIST IN THE 90Swhy are you guys going full retard
>>738668517>sleeve tatoos were not a thing in the 90's no.The best one could hope for was a tribal one.
>no JNCOsThis is some zoomer LARP.
>>738668630Depending on where you were there... just weren't that many. Hell, my wife thought they were black due to a body-wide skin mole up until she was a teenager.
No
>>738668739This is 90s erasure you race obsessed zoomy
>90's>obese girl joining anything but wika, mall goths or just killing herselfonly old people were socially allowed to be obese. the rest where bullies target with everybody's approval.
>>738668453>What is the game at the bottom again?Lost Records: Bloom & Rage
>>738668630Do you know what minority means?
>>738668492I distinctly remember my dad telling me about how much he loved playing (pirated) games on his Commodore 64 and how he regretted selling it back in the day. People had lower standards back then and had plenty of fun with the games they had.
>>738668806>90s erasureI was 15 in 1990. There was only one black kid in my school who funnily enough was adopted by white parents.
>>738667074Most of the world wasn't and still isn't white suburban America, no.
>>738668630The first time I ever saw a black person was on a school trip 2012 in italy
>>738667074Bottom looks like something from the 20s90s fashion was a lot more colorful and had a lot of plaid patternsI might be misremembering things due to Power Rangers though
>>738667074Not at all.The group would have been ridiculed by the other rich white kids, and the group at the bottom would have been beaten to death by a 12 year old as part of a gang initiation.
most people in the 90's were Jean + Tshirts + short spicky hair. All the colourful shit on TV was more like "social clothings" you'd put for a party.
>>738668630In big cities sure but in smalltown suburbia it was almost 100% white. It was very rare for a group of teenage friends to have a black person in the group. Most of these millennial nostalgiaslop games are specifically trying to depict smalltown suburbia, so yeah having so many black people was unrealistic
>>738668912I was 6 in 1996 and my class had 6 jeets 3 Chinese and a nigStraight up pretenders
>>738667074Bareback sex with Kat!
>>738669096I lived in white suburbia and I wasn't white
>>738669130Yikes! Sounds like you were prime audience for The Puzzle Place.
>>738669130Where the fuck did you grow up lmao. My school had literally 1 black girl and everyone else was white.
>>738667074no, the 90s were less pretentious and more sexualized
>>738669162
>>738668303lol, no parent will ever buy you a playstation and N64
>>738667074They did not.This is the equivalent of High school anime romanization of peoples school years.Its what millennials wish their high school days ware like.
>>738668320>>738668492You're actually both niggers and probably will enjoy these shitty games.
>>738667074No. Top is a /fa/ hipster re-imagining, bottom is pure fantasy.The real '90s looked more like Saved by the Bell, but less flashy. Lots of basic sweaters and jeans like pic related. And when people tried to put effort into the clothes it still tended to turn our rather goofy, unstylish, and a cacophony of colors and shapes.
>>738667074>>738667602what's the name for this type of art style where everyone cares way too much about how they look and you can estimate exactly how obnoxious and unbearable each character is just from one look at them
>>738668453>western badwhy do antiwokers often sound like unironic CCP shills
>>738667074>The 90's didn't really look like this... right?...not in the states, no
>>738667074Wait, so how does lost records compare to...What's the name of the top one again? It's all over this damn board, but I can't remember the name.
>>738669426Mixtape
Afrimerica is brown now deal with it chud
>>738669356>And when people tried to put effort into the clothes it still tended to turn our rather goofy, unstylish, and a cacophony of colors and shapes.So, the bottom image?
>>738668320Yeah I'm technically gen z but I still have memories of this, I was fortunate to grow up in a neighborhood full of kids my age too. Once seventh gen consoles released we stayed in and played games more. I have a very distinct memory of my friends being pissed at me because they wanted to go fuck around outside but I wanted to play halo reach the day it came out instead
>>738667840>>738668104Also, it was only corporate consumerist on the top of the thing. It was one of the best time for undergound and niche stuff to develop and rise up, especially as the internet was basically the wild west.
>>738668453it's just regular short square cute with headphones pulling it back. If this offend you, you are part of that supperficial terminally online normies that believe 5 steps make up in normal for men
>>738668320This pretty much. I mean I was one of the lucky ones that had a family computer, so my neighbor and I would swap classics like Civ III, Heroes III, Deus Ex, etc. Still, beyond the few titles you played over and over you'd generally ride your bike around the neighborhood, play street hockey, shoot hoops, go to the pool, see a movie, play some music, etc.I do feel bad for the ipad babies of this generation because my mother actively encouraged me to get off the PC and go outside. I had a way more vibrant childhood because the way I spent my time.
>>738668630It's more like there weren't many brown people in the suburbs for historical reasons.The suburbs were created as whites only communities. When that got outlawed they kept the blacks out through sneakier methods like redlining.And if the blacks got past the red tape the KKK showed up to burn a cross on their lawn.
>>738669426its made by the guys who made life is strange, but less adventure and more slice of life and lesbians
>>738669448Thanks, brah.
>>738669230Real 90s place not your fake world >>738669486It always was
>>738669385Shlomo getting btfod by chang
Just thinking about early 90s tv and video games makes me sick to my stomach. Daytime television was literally an insult.I think the first watchable nerdy show was star trek tng from 1994. Before that everything was so ass, talk shows, soap operas, fucking xena the warrior princess, MTV.Arcades were cool, but at home entertainment was so awful it was all about books. But the books were mostly just "recommended reading" from the 19th century too. Good luck with Dostoevksy at 12.No wonder everyone was outside.
>>738669265Did they turn Kat into a FtM troon in the sequel or something?
>>738667074no. this is a nepo baby's dream
>>738667074idk what the bottom game is but the second girl is very cute
>>738667840in the 90's and 80's consumerism was about getting actually new tech every 6 months, it's not the brainrotting stagnation we endure since the 2010 where "novelty" is a higher price tag every year on applescams
>>738669681that's a mtf troon bro
>>738669310>brown and gay with no bullies and cliqueslmao
>>738669492No, there's a clear design unity and style there with all the purple. And that kind of dark, goth-adjacent look didn't pick up until the early 2000s.
>>738669694the onky new tech we're getting now is how these companies and governments are fucking us in the ass
>>738669706i don't care. she/he is very cute.
>>738669778whatever floats your boat, queer.
>>738669610Alright whatever buddy. Maybe a zoomer will believe you, but anyone who was there at the time knows you're completely full of shit.
>>738669069spiky hair did not become popular until the early 00's>>738668492no one EVER complained about how "pixelated" video games looked as they came out in the 90's. you were born after 9/11
>>738669543The big problem is that even if you force your kids to go out these days, there's nobody else outside for them to play with.It used to be that there was always a big group outside that you could join. That culture is just dead now.
>>738669639I had my own computer and played stuff like duke 3d, simcity 2000 and later starcraft It was a great time but most people couldn't afford a pc back then
stop posting my wife, you weirdo
>>738669310as a millennial bullying was encouraged not banned
>>738669740>And that kind of dark, goth-adjacent look didn't pick up until the early 2000syou should have been in more vampire the masquerade circles>>738669652>Kat>sequelbro...
>>738669694Goy you did not like 3D TVs? Buy the golden plated HDMI cables.
>>738669875fuck yeah dude star craft was awesome l. if I wasn't playing sc/bw I was playing wc2 or d2
>>738667840Your dumbass wasn't cognitive in the 90s. Try being an actual teen throughout the 90s then come back to me.
>>738667074not in germany, people were way more normal here
>>738669356And people tucking in their shirts. That was big in the 90's for some reason.
>>738669993>WE DON'T DO THAT IN GERMANY
This is what the 1990s looked like, first episode in 1989 I know but it was a series that played throughout the '90s.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnmUcNEsnT4This is what Working class kids looked like and sounded like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fN6-6Peq1xwIt wasn't glamorous, we were poor, but we were safe and free.
>>738670017I hated that fad. my mom made me tuck my shirt in all the time
>>738669841>spiky hair did not become popular until the early 00'syeah no, not in my place. I still have my school pics from 1992, the cool kid had the spicky hair and that lasted at least until the early 00's. It was short spikes, not the techno-style that arrived latter
>>738667074>91% on steamSo much for that platform being "based". Looks like the troons have taken it over.
>>738668752This looks more like 2003
>>738667074>>738667602What do they win with this? I don't see the point in trying to convince people of this.
>>738669993>Germany>normallol
>>738669841>no one EVER complained about how "pixelated" video games looked as they came out in the 90's. you were born after 9/11You were just a loser and those pixelated pieces of shit were your only outlet. For normal people that stuff was fringe entertainment at best. Most people would've rather played cards than zelda.
>>73867008712 people bought it
You know...for anons that crying out how bikini armor is fine because it's not trying to be realistic somehow the same logic is being wilfully omitted here. What's up with that?
>>738669841sorry to burst your bubble but people complained more about graphics back then than they do now. it's an age old argument>story over graphics
>>738670118>no rebuttal, just more instuls and grok nonsense
>>738670176Sorry, was this game not trying to be realistic for the time period?
>>738670176the retards who complain about bikini armor are too busy changing their period tampons, or dilating
>>738667074The hispanic girl is kinda cute
>>738669865I would say dying, but not dead. It'll come back at some point once parents realize their kids have become retarded shut ins, studies are released about the damage, and news stories start exploding in the mainstream media (decades late of course)It's very inexpensive to kick your kid outside and play with a stick and a puck
>>738668752>>738670089This is a video from 2007 lmao.
>>738670238"pixelated" was not a thing, considering it was the time of cathodic screens. Good graphics was about details, colors, variety. "realism" also started to become a meme word with the Playstation and its "mind bogling" 3D and digitalized visuals on CD
mixedtape is a pedophile game made by woke nepo baby losers
>>738669841>no one EVER complained about how "pixelated" video games looked as they came out in the 90'sSure, because we had no frame of reference. But we were astounded with the leap in graphics quality on the PS2.
>>738670047>>738670110He's right though, Europe was pretty normal in the 90s, even Germany.
>>738670176>the same logicbikini armor games are not telling you that they're period accurate portrayals
>>738670387the 90s still had pixelated games and 3d games. I know because I had a bunch of different platforms and a pc
>>738670279It's not an insult, normal people, kids or adults, were not indoors during the 90s. You were weird if you were. And that's because entertainment was shit. Seinfeld was considered good.
>>738670106Your shithole country has always been this way or something
>>738670410>ps2>90's
>>738670294Never saw a claim anywhere that it was. It's just set in a time period without any claims of authenticity. It's not a historical artifact or documentary either. Not sure why the conversation is so focused around "uhh was the 90s REALLY like this??" when this type of product is just aspirational nostaliabait.Feels like manufactured controversy.
>>738667074Would everyone on the bottom pic
>>738670478you're trying too hard, larper
>>738667074lol, not one bit, what the fuck is this garbage anyway
>>738668320>Videogames kinda sucked at this pointlmao, you're a zoomer. Stop pretending to have grown up in the 1990s. Literally the best games ever made are from the 1990s (from consoles like the Sega Genesis, SNES, PS1, Dreamcast, etc.)
>>738670431so was the United States before the Puritans and the left wing started fucking everything up
>>738667074No
>>738670458Right but then the same logic by the same people isn't being applied here and everyone is claiming this is some hyper realistic historical piece.
>>738670387Nah, resolution was the first thing every console and monitor manufacturer bragged about, well after bits. The pixels were less visible but people were really hung up on resolution. 1600x1200 was godlike.People went to the arcade to play video games to see them in higher resolution than 240p.
>>738670478>THIS IS NOT NONSENSE>QUICK GROK INVENT THIS GUY LIFE SO I WINJesus.
>>738670410last I checked 2000 wasn't 1999
>>738670065>we were poor with a house 1.5 times bigger than the 2026 constructions and able to go to the restaurants every week/2 weeks and families with 1 income were common
>>738670537No, I'm saying the PS2 was 2000's and it was a big leap over the PS1 which was 90's.You don't complain about bad graphics until you have better graphics to set the new standard.
>>738669384>where everyone cares way too much about how they look and you can estimate exactly how obnoxious and unbearable each character is just from one look at themSo...a reflection of the game's actual woke creators then who only care about virtue signalling and maximizing what they perceive as "good" optics? Appropriate enough of an artstyle, in that case.
>>738667074Fuck no.
>>738668320>Videogames kinda sucked at this pointretarded faggot
>>738670396Chuds...are you losing the plot here? I get you are mad over the game being given a fictional rating by clickbait trash but this just reads like a algorithm-driven opinion.
>>738669069>Social clothingsWe're talking about America in the 90's, Rajeesh.
>>738670687you must be blind. People have been complaining about graphics since fucking atari and Nintendo
>>738667840>As a 35 year ok, I no longer understand why people jerk off the 90s and 00s so much.The western countries had fewer brown people in them so things were overall better (relatively speaking)
>>738670710it's not an option. it's literally true you ignoramus. get your head out of your ass you fucking retard
>>738670698I only knew of like 2 kids in my school who had computers at this point so it's not surprising, maybe be played tetris on an old 486
Video games really were loser shit for unpopular autistic kids in the 90s. Especially console games.This is the shit that was available to me on my dad's computer.
>>738668630>Nigger has no concept of time nor demographic shiftsChecks out
>>738670017Some school dress codes actually required it and it was considered dressing "properly"
>>738670821I had top gun, and then Microsoft fly
>>738667074>multi-ethnic friendgrouponly guys do this
>>738670821Too bad he didn't let his retard play real video games loser lel
>>738670603We had a few bangers, but you could only play them so much. And when you got tired of your tiny library of games you had to do something else.
>>738670396>nepoEvery successful thing comes from nepos. But the funny thing is that you never get to the root of the problem and question the system that makes it so. Just to cry about the ones benefiting that you don't like.
>>738670821Age of Empires II was probably one of the most popular games of the era and it absolutely catered to autistic nerdsQuake + Quake II turned the tide a bit with making videogames 'cool', esp with trent reznor working on the first
>>738669914>you should have been in more vampire the masquerade circlesThat's why I said pick up. Now that you mention it I do remember a proper, painted goth girl a la The Crow in one of my classes in the late '90s, but it was still very rare. On the other hand my sister, who's the normiest of normies to ever normie, pretty much looked like the bottom left ca 2005, minus the face paint. I don't know what game that image is from, but it's absolutely not representative of the '90s in my experience.
>>738670607Fair enough, it was a saner time all around, people didn't take themselves so seriously. I've scanned all my photos and home videos from the 90s early 00s, they're like a time capsule, I miss those times.
>>738670902Shit that never happened
>>738670914why are people like you always cheering on the death of society? >let's let rich people fuck everything up YAYyou should do the world a favor and kill yourself
>>738670065>Newcastle>peoplelol
>>738670978I miss those times too. what's nostalgic is that it didn't suck
>>738671001did you reply to the wrong post? your reply doesn't make sense
>>738670914Sure shlomo if you keep huffing your own fumes maybe people won't think you're a goblin loser
>>738671067you replied to me
>>738671094>personal insultsIs this how you convince others of your point?
>>738670937AOEII is from 1999. Yeah there was a golden age of video games from 1997 but you can't seriously say that the entire decade is good because of that.In 1993 there was lemmings. Which was fun for about 3 hours.
>>738671141Cope circumcised goblin
>>738668752
>>738667840We had a nice balance between physical and virtual and social media were not so fucked as now, easy
>>738670017>And people tucking in their shirtsthat stopped doing that by the time of this game's setting
>>738670978>people didn't take themselves so seriously."Political correctness" started in the 90s. Remember Captain Planet?
>>738671157Too bad none of you got to play duke 3d, red alert and doom those were great
>>738671157Quake was from 1996, and Doom came before that. Both had accessibility issues for kids obviously but they were cool.If your mom wouldn't let you play doom, like i said, you had a giant list of autistic rts/turned based games to choose from
>>738671316I'm talking in our personal lives and relationships
>>738667074Not even close. It looked like pic related. Boy Meets World is probably the most realistic sitcom from the decade that actually looks and feels like its time and place. Another good example would be early Kevin Smith movies, particularly Mallrats.
>>738668303I had those Casper stickers. They glow in the dark.
>>738670821This is LHX Attack Chopper isn't it? That was a great game. All those Microprose sims were awesome. Lightspeed/Hyperspeed, LHX, M1 Abrams, and so, so many others.
I think I remembered an actually fun video game form the early 90s.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUnvNTvHMnQProve your 90s credentials by posting something non-mainstream you played.
>>738671463>MallratsPic for example
>>738670675>I know nothing about what you're talking about but I'm going to make an assumption based on something that is unrelated to what you said. How was I a home owner in the 1990s able to go to a restaurant, how were the kids of the North East able to do that? If you're confused by these questions it's because you didn't watch any of the videos I linked which clearly you did not.
>>738671463Its funny because they were from philadelphia and im their age range and actually grew up in philadelphia and the show wasn't accurate

every 90s nostalgia thing fucks up since they make everyone wear jackets with lots of patches, pins, buttons, etc
Why do these trust fund millennials refuse to understand that their teenage years were not that interesting?

>>738667074No, this is what some Ivy League nepobaby's view of what the 90s were like, never fucking happened.
>>738667074Mixtape was made by Australian gay hipsters who don't even own the Koss Portapro, one of the most popular headphones of all time. They don't know anything about America, or the 90s.
>>738671425that's starting to come back around.I was hanging out with a female student who is an outspoken first/second amendment advocate, talked shit on canada/UK, etc etc. Basically all the moderate/right wing shit you 'cant say' on twitter. Even dudes who were idealogically opposed were attracted to her bc she wasn't afraid to speak her mind.People will see others like that and follow suit, and the pendulum will swing back. It always does.

>>738668303This is peak Y2K.
Movies were awesome in the 90s, but you couldn't watch them at home because VHS was so shit it literally damaged your eyesight, so people went to the movies a lot. There were drive through movies.6-8 year olds usually were playing outdoors on the playground, 9-12 year olds were doing sports, or skateboarding, or just loafing around town throwing rocks at cans and dumb shit. From then on people did dating, cars, car nuts were everywhere at 16 and above for sure. Drive through movies were a big deal for getting laid.Also nobody wore flannel shirts.

>>738671728Im saying it wasnt because im 42 and grew up in the city its supposed to be in amd attended public school. They're suburbs life maybe
>>738671932Yeah that pic more accurately represents the time period from like 1998-2002 than most of the 90s.
>>738672010>you couldn't watch them at home because VHS was so shit it literally damaged your eyesightlol>Drive through movies were a big deal for getting laid.LMAO
Arcades were so far ahead of home entertainment systems there was a brief period of time where home consoles almost went completely extinct. Playing on an afterburner machine was amazing.
>>738671498Same. I also had a couple of the glow in the dark Casper handpuppets that Pizza Hut gave with kid's meal back when the movie came out.
>>738671804I wasn't even talking about the political aspect of it, where I live you can still talk freely, for now. I'm more referring to the silly things we would do that were purely for our in-the-moment entertainment and no other reason, not for selfies, not to record and post on social media, people were more candid and free.
>>738669283I got both a PS1 and a N64 for Christmas in 1999.
>life is strange 1 is closer to the 90's than today is to Life is Strange
>>738667074Alternative punk rock girls were bullied more by Stacies than jocks bullying nerds.The fact that there's a black one is the most unbelievable one. Shaniquas and Lenaynays would have beat them to death.
>>738668630Middle america barely had blacks or brown people, just look at Columbine class of 99
Lego was so much better than video games holy shit.
maybe its because i grew up in the inner city, but all the kids i hung out with outside would go to each others houses and play video games. did you people not have 4 player smash 64 matches? never played smack down with your friends? no one owned a SNES and sunset riders, or contra? no kid with the genesis and the sega six pak so you could play Streets of Rage and Columns for days on end?I have a vivid memory of staying over at a friends house with someone else and playing Rampage until like 2am, it was the latest i ever stayed up by then (i was 8 or 9)
>>7386700651990 still looked like the 80s, it wasn't until 1992 and 1993 where the 90s officially took form
>>738672381judging by the amount of historical revisionism ITT, almost nobody here grew up during the 1990s.
>>738668630I lived in the middle class white suburbs in the 90s and I only saw black people at school. They were bussed in from the inner city locations like it was some sort of lottery. Why? They needed blacks to fuel their sports programs. They didn't need black women but everyone would notice if it was just black boys imported.
>>738672465Shut up brownoid you didn't even exist back then
>>738672465Oh shut the fuck up you fag. Just because you were a shutin doesn't mean you were normal.
no the women were attractive, cared about their looks, and didnt do drugs for the most partyou are in the full degen timeline where they try to retroactively claim everyone was a drug addict and loser, they weren't. the times were simply better and the women were better. they weren't complete whores then
>>738672512>>738672558struck a nerve, huh zoomlets?
>>738672381we did 4-8 player lan parties, what a fucking struggle to carry a pc case with crt 15" around for 5 blocks, was hella worth tho for duke3d and c&c, then some got ps1's and we all became tekken, twisted metal and FFT addicts, pc's after 1998 were diablo and warcraft machines
>>738668630not outside major cities
>>738669384I call it over representation. It's an attempt to be visually loud and dominating with representation in an attempt to go "we're here and we're proud." The issue is that it looks like shit because over representing so many different things at once makes a visually messy result that distracts from the meaning of it. It's usually in these projects because liberals think they need to be the saviors by representing these communities but also feel like they need to really, really, really represent them a lot because they don't get a lot of representation so they overdo it. The actual groups don't do this shit which is the funny thing.
>>738672595Take off those rose-tinted glasses brohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtyPAc-RAUM
The 90s were a period of incomprehensible poverty and corruption My grandparents smuggled food and gasoline in a sidecar motorcycle to the serbs, they lost all of the German marks they made from that trying to launder them through a façade of a business Could have been worse, fortunately I was on the other side of the border of Yugoslavia
>>738669384Gay theatre kid syndrome.
>>738667074Nah, this is what the 90s looked like.
>>738672381I grew up in the city too. Mostly played nba jam with friemds. My first ever crush and kiss used to come over and play golden axe. I think she's dead now RIP Stephanie. I had six pak but honestly games were mostly late night activities. We played outside more than anything.
>>738672465its a really fucking weird thread, man. i know a lot of posts on 4chan are bots, but many of these replies are so fucking random they dont seem like humans made them. look at the post above mine, who the fuck says something like that? like kids had to choose between legos and vidya, like there were separate crowds who never interacted. and the zoomers seething and calling people a shut in any time they're refuted is just pathetic>>738672645no one in the hood really had PC's so i missed out on the lan party things entirely, kinda sad in retrospect but i just never got into computers outside of needing them for schoolwork later in life
>>738672381I never lived in any major cities growing up (besides when my family moved to a suburb when I was 10). I definitely played games with friends, especially Goldeneye, Mario Kart, and WWF. But growing up in a literal small town in the middle of nowhere farm land we also spent a lot of time outside playing with Nerf and Super Soakers in the woods. There was also this abandoned old farm house at the edge of town that we always tried to explore because it was extremely creepy and most likely haunted.
>>738672495Oh and there were zero spics if you lived anywhere from the midwest and north. Zero, None, Nada. Blacks were the only minority. They were a few chinese immigrants but I could only count on one hand of how many were in my class.Versus today I could open my nephew's yearbook and see it's 40% spic.
>>738672381All my friends found video games to be gay. I didn't get into them until I was 12 because culture shifted quickly to nigger music and weed smoking.
>>738667074No.
>>738671157>lemmings. Which was fun for about 3 hours.I just don't care why so many tertiaries that don't play games come there to lecture people about what good games are. Nobody gives a shit that your asmongold clone didn't like it and that you decided to make it your new identity. fuck off.
>>738672804i still play NBA jam with my cousin when he comes over. it never gets old, truly timeless>>738672860i would mainly play outside during the summer but if it was cold out i'd just be inside playing vidya. that has always been my preferred activity and anything that kept me away from felt like a waste of time to me, my parents did have to tell me to go out and get some sun a lot of the time
>>738668104>the good old days of everyone being a hoodwinked brainwashed retardYeah, I’ll take these tumultuous times over the festering shit that was the everything after the sexual revolution and before towelheads hitting a building.
In my area there was a big push for motorsports in the 90's whether it was dirt bikes, 4wheelers, or sprint cars. Slowly everything became more and more online and people stopped really communicating like they did back then.
>>738667074The girl in the overalls yeah. I mean without all the tattoos and makeup.
>>738671316All people remember from "political correctness" was old angry ladies on TV that everybody mocked, and boring church preaches that only old people took seriously
>>738672651>I didn't exist in the 90sOkMajor non white immigration started in the 70s
>>738668320>Videogames kinda sucked at this pointThere WERE good video games back then, but the problem was to find them, since no internet, the only somewhat reliable way was word of mouth, because gaming magazines sucked even back then, I don't miss those shills.
Here are a few things I remember from the 90s that a lot of people forgot:- Clothing was not elasticated at all. Putting on socks was a nightmare. Clothes also itched a lot more. If your jeans were tight you couldn't walk in them anymore.- You were kinda expected to shower every 2 days, not every day. It was weird.- There were smoking ads everywhere and the smoking section at most restaurants was next to the children's section.- There was a children's section.
>>738669639You had to be into magazines back in the 90s.
>>738672812pc thing in my neck of the woods kind of spread like fire spontaneously around 1994, maybe 1 in 500 households had 386, then boom, every 3rd kid in class had 486 or pentium 66mhz, guess they suddenly became cheap or something, i was barely 10 when i got mine and we all had to figure shit out with zero english (eastern europe lol) knowledge when our parents got them for us with either dos on win95 if lucky preinstalled. you not really missed out on that much, things were evolving rapidly and in 3 years we all already were on modems and early adsl shittalking across the globe in irc channels and downloading pirated games that were dolphin porn half the time
>>738673107Oh fuck yes you are right, magazines in the 90s were awesome. Print was king.
>>738672873Not true at all. Plenty of Mexicans if you lived in rural areas with lots of major farming operations. They were migrant workers from Mexico and Texas that would come with their families during the Spring, summer, and Fall to work, then move back South in the winter. There were multiple Mexican kids at my school in bumfuck nowhere North Dakota but they would be gone for like half the year. I was friends with one of them who ocassionally lived down the road from me and we used to go with another local kid to fish for catfish in the river nearby, as well as played various N64 games.
>>738672426I remember when my house got a Nintendo in the early '90s, we were the first house in our street to get on one our Council estate. It was like magic. People just don't understand before that all unless your family were well off, was a television that had 3-4 channels and that was it.Playing Super Mario blew my mind. I remember one of the best days of my young childhood, my Mother taking me ice skating after school as a mobile rink had been set up in our school assembly, then Mcdonalds for din dins and then home and let me play Nintendo for as long as I wanted.I miss my Mam.
>>738673104>Clothing was not elasticated at allthis drives me fucking crazy now. i can't find a comfortable pair of boxers at all anymore, haven't in years. its like literally wearing a giant fucking rubberband on my waist all day and i hate it i saw an interesting video on youtube about the downfall of clothing as the world has moved towards "fast fashion" - things were genuinely made better with the intention of latsing longer back then
>>738667417Oh. So I thought that was like a sfm or mod, but I guess she actually was in the game like that.
>>738667840you're either a zoomer larping or just delusional.
We played these things called games, like cops and robbers, soldiers, hide and seek, throw matchbox cars at each other, and of course tongue kiss Nadine behing the Auchan.
>>738667074they did look like that and you better accept it, chud.
>>738673104>- Clothing was not elasticated at all. Putting on socks was a nightmare. Clothes also itched a lot more. If your jeans were tight you couldn't walk in them anymore.I remember my old socks to be decent. Maybe your mom was cheap and got you the lowest crapt. Itchiness was real though, all the plastic clothes was also super static in winter.Which is probably why so many people (me included) asked for sportwear, it was just cotton. confy and efficient.
>>738668630When I went to school as a kid, I remember my class having>2 blacks>2 Chinese >4 ItaliansAnd my class only had 15 kids or so.
>>738673018I had multiple farm kid friends whose parents let them fuck around with snowmobiles, so in the winter we'd drive around their land on those all the time. Looking back I think that was probably massively dangerous and irresponsible for a bunch of 8 or 9 year olds to be doing unsupervised kek.
If you didn't get laid by 14 it was a DISASTER.
>>738668630There was 1 black family in my neighborhood growing up and they were from Kenya
Something a lot of poeple miss about "the 90's" is that there was still so much holdover legacy furniture/cars/buildings/decor/concepts from the 70's and 80's still in place. It didn't all get instantly replaced and updated. The "90s" stuff was all shiny and new, like computers and electronics and clothing, but there was a lot of ugly wood paneling and carpet and glass and polyester and shit lying around from the previous generation. All the adults were shellshocked and miserable, only kids wanted to have fun.
>>738668630There weren't many. Except Native Americans where I grew up in Montana. Never saw a single black or Asian person there though, and definitely no jeets or Muslims.
>>738673683I remember being so desperate at 13 (in 2001, not the 90s but still) that I let an ugly girl give me a blowjob behind the bleachers at school and all I could think was how big her forehead was. I still think about that shit and laugh, she was a white chick but you put blackface on and you'd think she was Yakub's sister.
>>738673104A lot of fast food chains had indoor arcade machines. My Dairy Queen had a Pole Position and Ms. Pacman and some shooting game. My Pizza Hut had Mortal Kombat 2 and Samurai Showdown right next to each other, both blood splattering games and we loved it.
>>738673793This is very true. An extremely astute and underrated observation. The early 90's looked and felt more like the late 80's, then it got grungy for a bit in the middle, and then by 1999 everything was made of translucent plastic.
>>738672381WTF are you me? We did pretty much the same shit, except we played a lot of NBA Jam and UMK3. Along with a bunch of licensed stuff from Blockbuster we just ended up keeping.
You now remember joysticks. They sucked.
>>738669610Oh, so you're just trying to ragebait, that makes sense. I thought you were serious for a second.
>>738674330Remember? I still have one for playing Flight Simulator. They did not suck, they were pretty great and I miss the era when I could pick one up for £10 at my local supermarket.
>>73867450310 pounds?! You were rich.
>>738670106They do it out of pure malice. They want to destroy your past, your memories and your history. You can't even have those.
>>738672381>no one owned a SNES and sunset riders,I just remembered beating this co-op with my buddy as kids and he's been dead for a decade now.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S6rZkM7EOM
>>738671316>Remember Captain Planet?Captain planet was cool and remember the actual message ''hold your governement and companies accountable for the pollution they are causing'' its funny how they subtly changed it to ''actually its all of YOU causing pollution so no more plastic bags and YOU need to recycle and buy our extra expensive non-biodegradable products''
You could get 4 cheeseburgers for 1 dollar.
>>738672202Aw yeah, I remember those. I had Fatso and Stinky.
>>738674330Remember when each new controller needed its own installation (sometime at DOS level) and manual calibration and half of your games wouldn't even recognize it anyway?
>>738674721Everything was less expensive back then except for technology. Computers, cameras, TVs, etc were all more expensive back then.
>>738673683I agree (45 year old kissless virgin btw)
I remember the dot com bubble bursting, then 9/11 happened, then the 2008 crash. You guys don't understand just how much poorer you are than 90s people. Having a summer home and a boat was not a big deal back then, now having a living room you can walk around in is a big deal.
>>738674684the villains were all corporate rats though. Funny how Blight felt out of place with her computers but in a modern reboot she'd be just as dangerous as the oil billionaire fat faggot.
>>738674893then importing the 3rd world to depress your wages even further
>>738673828Wrong
>>738673104>fast food places had salad bars>drink cans still had the tiny mouth opening>there was also an even smaller tearaway version>planes were so loud you had to pause conversation until they passed>smoking on planes but only near the rear exit so you see a bunch of old men huddled around when you need to use the bathroom>>738674798in 1992/3, a family friend bought a house while supporting her 19-year-old sister through college. she was 22 at the time and was a bookkeeper for a restaurant.
>>738667074Ofc not, everyone that looked like that was bullied on the spot
wtf this site is full of uncs
Porn was awful. Emanuelle is absolute shit.
>>738674330>remember>they suckedThey never sucked. And anyone who plays space and flight sims still uses them. Pic related was the one I had around the late 90's and early 00's.
no, its just an attempt to rewrite history
>>738675080you've pretended to be a zoomer seething about uncs for three years. it's time to stop
>>738674542Birthday present usually, I remember having to use the same one for a few years that had drift in the joystick because we couldn't afford a new one.
>>738669283I'm sorry to break it to you anon, but your family was poor.
Where did the time go?
>>738667074There has been an attempt to re-paint the 90s with a lot of gay 2010s hipster nonsense.You need to remember that the 90s were the age of grunge, gangster rap, alt rock, nuMetal and lots of "Xtreme" and edgelord shit.
>>738672056It really depends on the school. I went to NEHS, which was ghetto as hell. But the magnet program classes were pretty nice. My friend went to Roman Catholic downtown and visiting it was almost exactly like the show. I would imagine rich Center City residents would have nice schools.
>>738667181kek
>>738676220I went to frankford then george Washington. I dunno the show never reflected any schools i was at I the 90s. Before that Hackett elementary and amy 5 middle school
>>738675792Not sure if it's just me getting old or if it's because technology has stagnated.When I was a kid everything was flying at a thousand miles an hour. Every year there was something new that changed the world.
>>738667074nobody would be seen with a shitty moustache like that for sure. I remember some goates but that's it.
>>738667074no. look at twin peaks, x-files, dawsons creek, seinfeld, etc. for reference
>>738672056>posting on 4chan at 40+ years oldyikes
Good Will Hunting is an accurate depiction of 90s fashion. No idea when the movie actually takes place, but that's what 90s people dressed like informally.
>>738677628For reference.
>>738677358you're here forever, zoom zoom. you'll get old too
>>738676882>FrankfordYeah, you were in the ghetto. There's a whole chunk of the city around Center City and South Philadelphia that's more like the show.
>>738667840I enjoyed the pre-social media internet
>>738667074As a 90s kid (born in 1999).No.
>>738678213>no normalfags>no browns>no womenit was paradise
>>738667074Nope. The 90s didn't look anything like this. A lot of the advertising and the movies looked like this, but this really wasn't reflective of what people and life in the 90s looked like.It's why pretentious assholes always use this for their "90s design" because they weren't actually alive during the 90s, they're just watching movies and then LARPing in hopes of attracting sales.>>738667417To be fair, we did see this occasionally in the 90s.
>>738667074In the DoDDs schools in Germany the 90s were more about hip hop shit or grunge than this punk stuff. Our retarded asses wore our clothes backwards for a brief period because of Kris Kross, there were torn jeans way oversized that we sagged while wearing plaid flannel shirts over t-shirts and then my boy Glenn rocked the Jincos.
>>738668912>>738669130It depends where you were. I was in the schools Army and Airforce overseas sent their kids to so we had loads of black and mexican kids because the services are always something like 25% of each or higher.
>>7386773584chan peaked in 2008, and the only people still around are those who were around then.
>>738679401This doesn't even look like 90s movies.Its straight up 2010s hipster shit.
>>738678198You really dont know what you're talking about. I lived in fishtown for most of the 90s. Frankford was when I moved to Tacony which wasnt ghetto back then. Im very familiar with center city. Theres absolutely nothing philadelphia about your faggot boy meets word tv show. Maybe rich private schools. Every other high school in that area was loaded with blacks. Just stop buddy
>>738669993Hans, your people dressed like ass in the 80s and 90s. I'd see motherfuckers with solid color trousers and like lime green long sleeves or sweaters. Motherfucking Steve Urkel had far more drip than any kraut I saw in those decades. Love you tho.
>>738677358Been here since 2007. My youngest son is 1. This is a boomer board website. Its more normal to to be here now then in prime youth
>>738679968Can confirm.t. 2007 newfag
Any of you unhappily married?
>>738680831Not married, but definitely unhappy
>>738680831Unmarried with depression, anxiety and PTSD. I own a home and two cars, though.
>>738668320>video games sucked back thenLarping filtered zoomer
>>738681070For real. Literal 9/10s and 10/10s were coming out almost every week during the 90s.
>>738667074If you want to know what the 90's looked like watch some stuff that was filmed in the 90's
>>738680831Im married pretty happy. Marriage doesn't change things much. Having kids did
>>738676108Also we would huff gas in the garage or do whippets or steal beer, not be gay as fuck together like in the media you see of the past.
>>738667074I don't know. I am not a girl. It's a game for girls. Why are you talking about it?
>>738667074Nope thats Zionist propagandaGTASA is closer to what it actually looked
>>738681240not everyone grew up being a wasteoid
>>738680131Don't know what to tell you, we wore big tshirts with or without flannels, loose jeans and we said things were phat and faggot and retard were easily 20% of all words spoken.
>>738670784>Not an optiongood morning chudsir
>>738667074No. I lived through the entire 90's. Nobody dressed, looked or acted like any of that.
>>738667185Surprise spbp, though i doubt zoomers would even know of nor have seen Hey Arnold!
Seeing zoomers try to act as though shit like frutiger aero were actual styles is bizarre to me
>>738668320Television was far, far better in the 90s (it was still shit though). Video games were also good but pirating was much more difficult and you usually had to get a physical copy to play a game so you had much less games to play.>the internet basically didn't exist yetEveryone in the first world who wasn't a retard or really old had an internet connection in the late 90s.
>>738672741now compare it to today, retardmy statements stands. "looking for guys" is them trying to find a stable partner for a healthy productive relationshipnow go on tinder and look at half naked whores looking to get railed by a negro man tonight
The cold war never ended and we're living in one of the most aggressive "non-violent" wars in fucking history. Cultures are getting so obnoxiously vile and overflowing with propaganda.
>>738668630we got our first blacks in our school when I was a sophomore in 2008. I lived in the midwest and it was 100% white before then, not even mexicans. those came a year later and took over the hallway with the special needs/ESL classes.
If you want to know what people looked like in the 90's, just watch Friends or Whose Line Is it Anyway?I don't know why people are acting as though accurate depictions of what the 90's looked like don't exist>>738681504WW2 is the war that never ended
you want an accurate image of the 90s, just watch twin peaks.
>>738681650WWI*All of this shit about controlling the Middle East for oil started during WWI. It's literally what Lawrence of Arabia was doing for England.
>>738681650yeah i always thought arguments like that were so weird. literally just watch news broadcasts featuring regular people from the 90s and you can easily see what people looked like, talked like, talked about, etc. etc.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpBuR8tok_05
>>738668630They didn't in Europe, for decades I was telling everyone that black people don't actually exist and they are just made up TV thing like aliens.People literally couldn't argue against it because they never seen a real nigger either.I stopped doing this around 2015 when we started importing niggers here.
>>738682086What is France
>>738670017it was old people getting on their case to tuck their shirts to seem dressed "formal"
>>738680174Damn, that's a crazy coincidence. Back then I actually lived near Torresdale and Knorr. We probably know each other, lol.And yeah, Tacony was almost all white circa 2000. Its crazy how much it changed.
>>738670880I never understood why it was promoted as a concept in the first place. It doesn't serve any actual benefit.
>>738684256Holdover from the 70-80's I guess.
>>738684580Ok, so it was to keep shit and ball sweat off your pants. Good to know
>>738670623This is set in a real time and place. You won't find bikini armor outside of a fantasy realm set 10 thousand years ago
are some of you guys retarded? some shirts are absolutely essential to have tucked otherwise you look like a nasty slob. the long curved hem of certain shirts (particularly dress shirts and fine silk shirts) are designed to be anchored under your belt so that it doesnt billow out as you move around. assuming you arent an incredibly fat bastard, most long-sleeve light shirts are made to be tucked in
>>738667074No.The sub-humans who make these games never lived in reality to begin with.
>>738681441Hey Arnold, Rugrats, and Courage were my favorite 3 cartoons growing up.t. 2001 zoomer
yes people walked next to each other and stud next to each other, it might be hard to believe but people still do this today as well too
>>738667074In Lost Records (bottom pic) makes more sense because the group of girls are actively attempting to "look like punk rockers" as a plot point and it's something they're actively attempting in-universe to emulate. In the rest of the game they dress otherwise normal for the era, as do all of the NPCs.
not even slightly. Look what they're wearing in old Tom Green videos or Clerks or something. That's the 90's.
>>738684003Yeah shits changed. I still live by torresdale and Robbins.
>>738673104lmao now I remember trying to get my socks back on after the gym class shower. Fucking impossible. But those motherfuckers never ripped once.
>>738667074no
>>738673104You wear elasticated clothes?
Skate videos are good time capsules in the 90s and at the very least you know what skaters were wearing.Early 90shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWvmtTSAFCEMidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0uyur4B67gLate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJSB3gNQC3I
Correct me if I'm wrong, but cassette tapes weren't really cool in the 90's. CD's were out. People thought CD's were cool.Tapes were for the car, if you had an old car. Tapes didn't get resurrected as a cool hipster thing until like 2010.
>>738667074No, the developers are just delusional.
>>738667074>Zoomer here. The 90's didn't really look like this... right?...Nope. They looked like this.
>>738667074As a 99 zoomer i can't wait to see how gay early 2000s nostalgia is portrayed. Basically everything that makes me nostalgic about that era is considered offensive nowadays (fucked up newgrounds animations and flash games, accidentally stumbling upon afghan/iraq war footage, cod lobbies, etc)
>>738687142It was still tapes for making mixed tapes or getting shit off the radio into the 90s. Home computers were fairly rare and I didn't see CD burners till around the same time I saw napster in the mid 90s off at school. So there was overlap, you'd buy a new album on cd but you'd still use your tapes and tape players.
>>738686641The best decision I made was getting out of the city. Even if you're just 10 feet outside of the city limits, its a night an day difference. You get a new police force and district attorney that actually takes crime seriously. So no more mobs of kids stealing shit, or random break-ins. The whole area around Rockledge/Jenkintown is pretty nice. Or anywhere in Bensalem.
>>738668752I feel seen
>>738670106They just want to play the victim when their shit inevitably flop. Nothing new, really.
>>738687317Im looking. Problem is prices way up. Im probably gonna send my sons to catholic school like 7k a year for first and ride it out. Even in nicer areas, public schools are ass so its stay and pay for school or move to a slightly nicer area and can't afford school.
>>738667840The corporate consumerist culture was actually cool. Now its gay and lame. Its that simple.
>>738667074No that's completely accurate. They toned it down for movies, but real life was just like this
>>738667840Because it was about 30 years agoThe time period about 30 years ago always gets jerked off by people who don't remember it
Millennial here,how come you're the coolest generation and unc doesn't get your epic memes but at every turn you turn your head back in history trying to understand an era you didn't live and it's just 20 years ago not some actually cool and epic time??And why do you try to fashion copy those times and acting like you understand what emo and goth is?
>>738681459>Television was far, far better in the 90sYeah but you had to physically watch something at the appointed timeDuring the day it was just infomercials and the shopping channel. Or if you wanted to watch you liked or whatever it was very late at night
>>738668727Not 90s. Not mainstream anyways. JNCO was 00s
>>738687906i dont do this, but its because our current times are so economically, spiritually and emotionally dogshite with zero cultural expression that many of us just look back at the past.t. 1997 ZillennialGAWD
>>738687305They'll leave out of the "offensive" bits of the 00s and make the nostalgia entirely about fashion, like a costume
>>738687906>And why do you try to fashion copy those times and acting like you understand what emo and goth is?Because these were the last organic subcultures before the social media corps took over and made everything a lame politically correct uniculture where they fully control what is and isn't popular.
>>738687906it's fucking hilarious how the modern understanding of emo and goth is rooted in porn sites like suicide girls. That's not who those people were. They were mopey, and often fat or weird...I was vaguely in a "goth" social group. It was just undiagnosed autistic kids with anger issues over being bullied, who had greasy hair and liked rubbish like Slipknot.
>>738687142Tapes were uncool but they were the only option for portable music or making your own tapes.
You don't need an astroturfed 2026 game to show you what the 90s looked like, you can go watch a movie or play Earthbound or something
>>738688105Worse, they'll actively rewrite history and make those Newgrounds games about "punching transphobes"
>>738688110>these were the last organic subculturesPeople repeat this thoughtlesslyWhere do you think those kids got their style ideas from? From music videos, magazines, and fashion lines, all of which were corporate products designed to sell products. The 90s was the essence of "consume product and get excited for next product"Fucking 4chan is an organic subculture.
>>738667074what this genre called? midlifecrisis-core?
>>738688287The only corporation profiting from those subcultures was Hot Topic, lol.
>>73868828790s was peak goyslop.
>>738667074No. Watch California Dreams, Living Single, and the movie Kids. Then watch Boyz in the Hood; Blood In, Blood Out; then Poltergeist: the Legacy. Finally, you shall watch Ronin Warriors. Only having done all of that, will a non-90's kid get it even a little. That game looks to be worse at portraying the 90's than Stranger Things was at the 80's.
>>738667074Does this remind anyone else of those weird stop-motion movies like Paranorman? Especially the weird 5fps framerate.
>>738670017Only early in the 90s. By the end shirt out was virtually mandatory if you had any ambition of being cool.The sense of "cool" was also very rigid
>>738688506you are so fucking stupid its unreal. urban outfitters, tommy hilfiger, nautica, nike, etc. i distinctly remember sprite pivoting to appealing to black hip hop culture with the obey your thirst campaign. there was also how starbucks changed their aesthetic in the 90s into a faux-worldly pseudo-academic style to appeal to yuppies and larpers. you act as if capitalism was invented in the late 2000s or something
>>738667074Is this game early 90's or late 90's Cause i dont see any kids sweeping the floor while wearing jnco jeans that i remember wearing in the late 90's.
>>738688857You just described stores for preps or blacks. I was talking specifically about emo and goths. Follow the thread.
>>738687864the late 80's to mid 2000s has been getting jerked off consistently ever since 2014 or so.try again
>>738688008One of my boys rocked them in 95. They were certainly around.
>>73868900580s jerking is dead2000s only got started recently In 2014 nobody was pulling the 90s' pisser. It was all 80s nost-slop at that time
>>738672668>over representationI think this is a good start. Groups of people you'd never actually see in the real world all being thrown together blatantly to check various boxes. It's not to say that different groups can't hang out or be friends/associates with one another, but the idea that all of these people with all these differences all are close with each other just comes off too strongly as overrepresenting or "Box Checking".
>>738667840Nostalgia has been commercialized and to an extent, weaponized to get people numbed to the current world. It's no longer, "Man, remember when childhood was uncomplicated, and you just enjoyed the simple certain thjings, and maybe that time you got the pirate ship toy from McDonalds".It's "OH GOLLY GEE, THE COLLECTABLES ARE THOSE MCDONALDS TOYS! WOWY ZOWY! REGANOMICS DUUUUDE!"
>>738689085the 80's is still cool.It's just kind of been done. They can only bring back and fuck up Terminator so many times.
>>738688609Watch Brewster's Millions too.
>>738667703Old geezers in marketing want in on selling nostalgia to 30+ year olds too stressed to deal with the modern world.
>>738689085nope.late 80s was the start of the golden period of new tech and all the cool shit of the 90's.2000's was the twilight of that with plenty of cool shit stilltry again, retard.
>>738688609Gotta watch Prayer of the Rollerboys
2000s nostalgia will revolve around a sanitised version of early internet culture
>>738688991which happened to them as well. record labels started pivoting hard to appeal to angsty, heroic-chic emo shit in the 90s and you especially see that with the huge emergence of pop punk. its literally POP and PUNK fused together, which in theory should not. same as nu-metal too. mall goths were also all over in the late 90s. pretending that the 90s wasnt pure consumerist excess is laughable and just shows you were a sheltered and naive rich upper-middle class kid duped by the fake "authenticity" of 90s commercialism. it was all simulacra. theres a reason why the matrix came out in 1999
>>7386892862000's nostalgia like what you are talking about already started over a decade ago with the 9gag rock.
>>738668320>Videogames kinda sucked at this pointThat's crazy. Anyway, 30 years ago:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996_in_video_games>Super Mario 64>Quake>Resident Evil>Command & Conquer: Red Alert>Tomb Raider>Pokemon Red & BlueMan, what a bunch of dogshit. Gaming sure is better in 2026, am I right bros?
>>738667074Not for me. We where doing crazy shit friends going around fucking 14 year olds. Drinking themselves drunk. Breaking their arms and legs with roller blades. Calling everyone slurs. Getting into fights ans breaking more bones.
>>738689227I have actual good stuff from the 90's I can watch and play.
>>738689341you and the other guy are arguing about something thats been around for centuries as if it was special lol
>>738689286>willits already around and its been around, anon. you're not keeping up? 2000s aesthetic revivals have been around for a year or two alreadyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60HwwaAVFu0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz2YCRmDOFk
>>738689341>mall goths were also all over in the late 90sWhat store were they going to?
>>738667074WHERE ARE THE BAGGY PANTS AND THE CHAIN?
>>738667074nopegirls were hot and straight, not fat and lesbian
>>738689286>2000s nostalgia already in full effect>no one talks about xanga, livejournal or myspacesometimes, sanitized history is a good thing
>>738670176Those are just coomers that are ashamed to admit they're gooners. I never looked at the trailer and thought "oh yeah this was the 90s", it's clearly someone's "snowglobe diorama 90s". A post card 90s. A pretty image like when alt-righters post images of idealized 1950s life without all the trouble in the background. Since that IS the blindspot of ALL nostalgia, good or bad; a filter of the past, without the setbacks and trauma.I don't miss the Obama troubles and post financial crisis of 2013. But god damn do I remember Daft Punk's last album coming out and cycling into the city with my dad and sister in those gentle summer evenings, seeing people out and about when party culture was still a thing; the streets alive and breathing. God do I miss those days.
>>738689629
1984 boomer here. I love the 2020s. They're so futuristic and interesting. I wouldn't go back to the sleepy 20th century if you paid me.
>>738689763
>>738689808
>>738681441The sad part is zoomzooms will say it was nostalgia but thing were legitately more meaningful and better back then. Giving the internet to the normies was a fucking huge mistake.
>>738667612>facepaint ruin itThey don't normally have them on, they're wear them when performing as a band
>>738680831Unmarried, unemployed, unhappy.
I thought it would be like LiS and refunded it when it got boring. Should I buy it again? Is it worth it?
>>738689854
>>738690049
If anyone here remembers a 90s ISP that isn't AOL, you're a real one.
Looks like early 2000s emo shit.
>>738671540Crystalis
>>738690102
>>738670710This. Getting mad at this is like getting mad black people breathe the same air as you.
>>738689763>>738689808>>738689854>>738690102kek straightoids BTFO charlie kirk style
>>738689720it's not even recognizable as an idealized version of the 90's. It straight up just is not the 90's. It's a bunch of modern artsy kids listening to cassettes and riding skateboards.It's all vaguely Ferris Bueller inspired, which is funny because that's an 80's movie, that feels incredibly 80's. Whereas a movie that feels incredibly 90's would be Clerks or Beavis and Butthead do America.
>>738690159
>>738670017most shirts look better tucked.
>>738669283he's a teen. you could buy a n64, playstation, and saturn just on a mcdonalds wage
>>738690268imagine, there will never be a generation free of social media anymore
>>738690465we could just outlaw social mediawhere theres a will, there's a way
>>738690465the nuclear fallout following the 99% vs the 0.1% civil war will lead to us returning to primal societies within two generations, so im not too worried.
>>738690394Yeah but it looks lame
>>738667074There's endless media available from the 90's on internet archive but I understand that most people are dumb slobs who form their worldview from whatever's new and popular.
>>738689379>Gaming sure is better in 2026, am I right bros?This but unironically.There are games today that I could only dream of as a child. And the volume of games is insane. As a kid I had 10 games and that was it. Right now I have 30 games on my desktop alone. And those are just the ones I want to be accessible.And we still have access to the old games. But only speedrunners still play them because they kinda suck.There are plenty of problems with today's games of course, but on the whole we're way better off today than in the 90's.Oh and games are cheaper too. The big AAA titles are about the same price as the old shit, especially adjusted for inflation, but there's so much good shit you can get for under $30.
>>738667074Not even close, I grew up in the 90's. As others have said this is just zog propaganda.
>>738667840You were 9 years old in 2000 and you think you know what the 1990s was like?
I've had about enough memberberries about some suburbanite's bland upbringing. I'm going to write a story about growing up in my shitkicking redneck town, drinking Stag beer and listening to Joe Diffie in my piece of shit Chevy LUV.
It's just the 20th century receding into the past If you had to make a game set in 1895, it's unlikely you'd be very accurate to things like fashions and social events like bicycles exploding in popularity, the culture of serialised literature, fears of rising anarchism etcYou'd just make a vague melange of 1870-1900 and that's what this is basically
>>738667719Well yes, but they weren't shoved in everyone's face in media.
>>738690607AAA is usually a washout tho. But at least there's a vibrant indie scene of all kinds to find at least ONE game per year you'll be sure into.
>>738669384Leftists are the most narcissistic people on earth. Everything they do is centered on their image and social status. Truly worthless “people”.
>>738690649We have a whole decade of television and videos from the 90's that are right there waiting to be watched though.People kind of know what the 90's looked and felt like, and it's not whatever this is.
>>738669384People who care more about their own politics and how they look than being genuine with themselves.a fault of both left and right wing.
>>738671823MAX had a cool intro video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0n5JQ0jpgM
>>738690842I accept your confession.
>>738690607For me, Look Outside was the game of last year Nothing like that was even thinkable in the 90s
I remember the MASSIVE amount of sugar we were allowed to consume. I'm hoping this was unusual but my mom let us add sugar to our sugar filled cereal.
>>738691053eww. no offense, but eww. There's such a thing as too much to where it's just overtly sweet garbage.
People confused movies and tv with reality all the time
Did IGN really give this game a 10 out of 10?
>>738668872We had an Amiga 500 in the early 90s, that thing was fucking awesome. Every game under the sun, you just swapped floppies with other kids.My buddy and I used to play Speedball2 and Desert Strike and Wings and North and South and Cannon Fodder etc etc all fucking weekend.
>>738668630Tony Blair didn't show up until 1997 and the open borders agenda wasn't in full swing until about 2000 zoomie
>>738667074all i remember is white guys with frosted tips and ugly oversized clothes skating and riding bmx bikes calling each other gay and faggot a lot
>>738668630They stayed in the ghetto
>>738671603Philadelphia is a stinking shithole thats likely why it isn't faithfully represented. Fuck this place I hate living here.
>>738692232Then move, retard. Even if you need to work downtown, there's plenty of commuter rail that goes far out of the city.
>>738692232Well the 90s still had a few lower class but all white neighborhoods. They dont really exist anymore here. Poor whites have to live in mixed areas now.
>>738667602Imagine putting this much work into looking like shit.
you used to have to hide you were gay because people would beat you up for it
>>738667417That's a pretty timeless all-American outfit so it's not a bad pick. You would see it in the 80s and 90s, maybe even earlier. And you still see it today.
>>738692538I had to move here for work and it fucking sucks, I’d quit of the economy wasnt so fucking bad but no gotta live in niggerville where its also way too fucking expensive.
>>738692954You can just live in Cornwell Heights or Fox Chase or something and take the train in. Its like $5. Its 100% worth it.
>>738670017Most people look better with their shirt tucked in as it showed off your figure better so naturally it fell out of fashion when people got fatter. Much like when girls used to show off their midriffs but don't anymore.
>>738668320Nah. You had genuinely great games coming out every year. Of course you were weird if yous stayed inside all day, but that doesn't mean that you weren't getting instant classic back to back throughout that decade.
>>738687906Because we zoomers are physically and mentally suffering a hellacious existence. What you used to take for granted would be our precious gold. We were barred from the seminal experiences that older generations were granted for free, therefore stunted heavily to the point of no return. All because this society believed that putting in the trust of our lives into corporations was somehow going to make life better. Let's hope that when putin and china nukes us, they hit silicon valley and wallstreet with ten ibm missiles each.
>>738667074>genzennials portraying the 90s in all its glory but refuses to admit that they were good because there were no niggers aroundfreudian slip?
>>738695337>Let's hope that when putin and china nukes us>ron paul drone is a putin droneOh that's a priceless comment. That motherfucker was always a Russian sleeper agent all along as i suspected he always was. His trying to warn people was just Russian and Chinese propaganda.
>>738668630nor in any other decade
>>738667074Not even slightly.Very evil hateful people made this.
>>738667074Where are all the Coed Naked, No Fear, AND 1, Big Dog, and Chit Rodriguez t shirts?
>>738670106It's made for brainwashing children into thinking clown world is normal. Video games are overwhelmingly made for children so leftists are polluting the market.
No it looked like thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Oob9CVZF6sAnd people with all the "gadgets" to record tended to look like guys in this video as well. They weren't like the women in the OP's pic who didn't really bother recording themselves for future documentation or doing mixtapes.
>>738668630I legit never saw a black person IRL until my dad got a new job and moved us to the South when I was 10
>>738696263desu that guy's basement doesn't look all that different from a modern gooncave. I guess some things transcend time.
>>738696163They also want to gaslight all of us who lived it and overwrite any sources that could disprove it.
>>738672062It doesn't because that's a girl's room. It's a fake pic in the sense that it's just a modern photoshoot using a film camera instead of digial.
>>738695768Found the LARPing zoomiehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYb_8MM1tGQ
>>738667074No people didnt look like sideshave and nosering self inserts with band shirts tacked on.>b-but what about punksThat one punk in a thousand kids everyone thought was just a mental ill retard with no parents. Even goths were more common.Even in the 2000s the sideshave troon style didnt exist and was often just a kid coloring their hair without doing a schizo hairstyle on top of it.My friend did it and that instantly launched him into being bullied by his whole class after being an unseen nerd before that.
>>738667074You could just watch My So-Called Life, plus you get Claire Danes
>>738695957You are a legitimate faggot, jesus
>>738696895Nah that's too white.I want the REAL 90s
>>738696817>zoomers think rap music didn't exist until the 2010s and music only became "badass" in 2012They're missing out on kino.
>>738696949Not that anon but herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98VTC_k-10M
>>738696991>>738696817There were niggers but they stayed in the inner city. They weren't allowed to leave and wander around the white areas. If you wanted to look at them you had to turn on MTV and watch music videos.
>>738697082Kino and interesting
>>738696949Moesha?
>>738669283TRUE, if you were well off you had the name brand and your parents wouldn't buy the off-brand
>>738697224Now do you believe that the 90s wasn't really all that color-diverse?
>>738696932>You are a legitimate faggotYou're the one who said Putin pls nuke us out of the blue and then posted his mug. You hate being called out when a few people suspected that Russia were involved with trying to get Ron Paul to run in politics back in 08-2012. Mainly so he would throw the whole election for republicans so that Obama would pick up the victory who was also a favored kremlin candidate. His whole deal was splitting the vote for guarenteed Obama presidency. Even some of his campaigners appeared on Russia Today saying they were doing as much.
>>738697082I think the saddest thing is that kids are terrified to just be themselves and act like dorky retards now. There's always this lingering fear that they could be recorded and blasted in front of millions or billions of people. It's hard to explain but it's like they're always "on" and never really relax. It has to be hell on their mental health.
>>738697307>PS>N64Which was the name brand and which was the knockoff
>>738681441Looking back, there will never be another thing even remotely like Hey Arnold! because everyone's going to be raised on vapid dopamine rushes, iPads and adderall from womb to tomb until everything implodes under its own weight.
I need Mixtape 2 NOW, already replayed it 5 times!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>738669283You must have been a poor fag. I had both of those as well as a Sega Dreamcast
>>738668492>This. Video games were pixelated trash, tv shows were unbelievably shit and movies were ok, which is why people went to the movies. The first tolerable video games started coming out in 1996.>Pop culture sucked so much we thought dragon ball was watchable.I actually feel bad for you if you can't recognize how much better things were back then
>>738697754>AI jeet in a nostalgia threadfucking neck yourself you faggot. You are the reason why I hate the modern day
>>738669283I had a PS1 and a Dreamcast in 1999
>>738697419Yeah, the people in that video were all thinking it was just the guy's personal recording for his future self to look back on.
>>738670359>Those monitors in 2007Grim
>>738669841>spiky hair did not become popular until the early 00sYou mean frosted tips. Spiked up hair was already a thing.
>>738698035>I actually feel bad for you if you can't recognize how much better things were back thenThis. I was born in 2007 so I can't remember the 90s exactly, but I feel certain that they were a lot better than now in every way. Even the internet was probably a lot more fun.
>>738699052Lmao you're a literal Fortnite kid.
>>738693669Unfortunately my work is near the delaware border. Ive been thinking about west chester just really don’t want the commute. Theres just too many people out here for me, I gotta go back out west.
>>738696817This is when blacks were still somewhat respectable and based, the rampant fatherlessness and complete destruction of their culture hadn't fully been realized then.
>>738689720>A pretty image like when alt-righters post images of idealized 1950s life without all the trouble in the background.oh its just a wokie seething about shit
>>738670359Bullshit. That looks like 1999.
>>738670359Not with those crtsAnd girls looking that way
>>738670387>the Playstation and its "mind bogling" 3DI felt these looked liked dogshit at the timeN64 tooI preferred the previous gen of games
>>738699874My school had mostly CRTs in 2008 but yeah the fashion is very dated for 2007.
>>738670359It couldn't possibly be 2007 because everyone is happy when they see the video camera and they wave and smile.If you were filming like that in 2007 people would think you're a weirdo
