ITT: Genres future generations will be unable to understand

The 90s were so good, my trailer park family ate beef every single day in large amounts because it was so cheap and we were the poorest of the poor. Rent in a trailer part was $100/month.

9/11 really fucked up the entire world, not just the USA

And you could have an entire XL Pizza (which, btw, is almost twice the size of an XL Pizza today) delivered to your door for $8 and thats including the tip

It's actually

>it's 1999 and I did everything that they said would let me get things that really matter in my life but I didn't get them

>>212290953
What really fucked up the world was the Iraq war, the US was at its peak in international goodwill from 1999-2002 until they got stuck in Iraq and China became a superpower behind their backs

The recession doesn't get enough credit imo, 9/11 sucked the soul out of the country but it got fucked hard in that time. I don't even mean in the Occupy sense with bailouts, the entire thing changed the financial sector for the worst.

Fuckers without jobs not understand how fucking awful office jobs can be.
If anything we'll get movie about how much working home is oh so isolating and the horror of Teams meetings.

My mom would complain about bills but was still able to feed 4 kids, treat us to fast food, video rentals.
Christmas came around and I never was disappointed.
Middle and lower middle class strived.
Even fuckers considered poor could still have moments to splurge back then.
Fuckers who didn't experience it or who can't remember always try to dispute it but I'm so glad I grew up in the 90s.

post 9/11 times were comfy and wholesome

iraq was a nothing burger, have been far worse wars since. If the US collapsed from Iraq then Russia has collapsed from Ukraine, which is literally 1000x a bigger fuckup for than than Iraq (they have taken like 50x as many casualties as the US has in just 2-3 years)

this is how it was in the US until around 2020ish, covid really decimated the agricultural industry and it never recovered.

You could have a 9 oz. sirloin at Outback Steakhouse in 2019 for $12, today you get an 8 oz. for $24

what were people thinking about in the 90s? columbine? mcveigh? enviormentalism? seems like an even more depressing time desu. today is woke shit, but its so violent

>>212292433
*not so violent

>Things are too good and boring
>Office Space
Yeah, a job specifically for the year 2000, that becomes obsolete past that, and mass layoffs are good. You know, whenever I lose my job, all I think is "wow. Things cannot get better than right now"

>>212292433
These were just headlines you saw on the news and didn't effect your life. In the 90s you thought about your own life, your family, your friends, school, your job. The news was just something far away that never mattered.

>mfw I will never be an adult in 1999s usa, having a stable office job with a nice cubicle, my own suburban home where I play vidya on windows 98 pc and ps1 and chill with my american girlfriend watching late 90s tv slop on
Sounds great, only shitty thing about it I can think of is healthcare and commute to work
