I kinda remember the 90s, and yet, I don't. So I never got that whole "I wish we could go back to the 90s/80s/whatever, everything was simpler back then!" I kinda get the feeling that they also want to remember the good things, and forget about the bad (though when some people start sperging about the bad things as if they were good themselves, it kinda renders my point moot).

Personally, my theory is that 90s kids in particular don't actually miss the decade for its "simplicity" as much as they miss it because they miss being children, tbh.

A lot of 90s kids are still getting adjusted to adulthood or are just becoming adults, and they're scared of rapid massive change and growing responsibility. So it makes sense they're suddenly nostalgic for a time when the bulk of their responsibility consisted of "do your homework, be in bed by 8, etc" and life was devoid of any real stresses for the most part. (This is also possibly related to why a lot of "adult babies" seem to be in that 90s-kid age range but that's another horrifying topic altogether)

These folks just can't get over the fact that they're not in the target audience for kid's cartoons anymore. The creators of the new PPG did try to act like the trans unicorn episode was a really progressive statement about trans people and it kind of wasn't, but get the fuck over it. It's for children, not grownups who can't let go of the shit they liked when they were six.

Just when I thought reaction videos couldn't get any more insufferable. Bravo tumblr, you truly do have an uncanny ability to take the absolute bottom tier, and dig it even lower.

You know what is funny about all the people who either:wish it was still x decade or wish they were born in a previous decade, is that they never get how much better it now to consume not just modern media but classic media as well. Think about it, when I was a kid if I wanted to get a new game, I had to go to Toys'R'Us (No Gamestop back then) and pick out the best one and usually I was burned. Now, I can watch footage of a game as its being developed . Hell, if I want to play an NES game, all the games I played as a kids and the ones I wanted but was never able to get I can download every single game ever made and play it right on my mobile phone. 5 year old Surtur would have shit himself if he could have done that. All of my favorite shows? Streamed instantly. No longer do I have to watch my shows at a certain time. Want a new game? I can download half price on Steam via my fiberoptic connection in 5-10 minutes. This is not counting how much better things like, you know, medical science have come. This is literally the best time in history to be alive and these faggots don't get it, because "muh nostalgia."

For that matter, you can even pick a number of games that haven't been developed and vote with your money for them to be made. If you've got money to splurge, you can even get something you made up put into it!

I don't know how anyone can look back even 20 years, when the top end computer you could buy had a thousandth the computing power your cheap phone now has, and say we're better off.

this is why people of all recent generations say they want to go back
they remember the simplicity of being a child, not knowing that much. or having many cares. etc.
they also forgot all the shitty things.

I still remember the summer we went without electricity, i still remember the OJ simpson trail being on TV ALL THE FUCKING TIME
and the HORRID SHITTY POP MUSIC, AND THE HORRIBLE TV SHOWS, and the fact that the stores here had shitty selections on video games.

nostalgia makes you retarded.

You only had radio if you were a fucking music pleb who never set foot in a record store or a club.

okay, we had tapes too. but it's not like we could buy many.
although i sometimes used my parents vinyls, but those were old and i didn't want to use them too much and scratch the shit out of them.

(slight power level) and yeah, musically speaking, my taste was rather shit until i grew up. now i have a decent album collection, and radio just doesn't interest me.
although oddly enough, i don't have many albums from around when i was a kid, everything is from last decade, this decade, or the 80s and before. and i like a lot more music of the last 16 years than most everything else.

I really don't understand how people can just write off all new music.. oh right, nostalgia

What's weirdest is when these people get 'nostalgic' for a time they weren't even alive to see.

But, anyways, here's some more powerpuff sperging about how the intent of the writer doesn't real:

By that logic, I could say that The Illiad was an allegory for the long drawn out wars in the Middle East.

BTW did I mention how much better it was in Ancient Greek times? When you lived to age 40, you probably couldn't vote and you risked having a Spartan come and ram his spear into your rectum? Great times.

I could understand maybe appreciating some things that originated during that time period (i'm thinking the 70s and 80s-aesthetics, music, fashion) but yeah wishing to live back in those times?

It's really weird because tumblr kids are usually the first to complain when their parents/grandparents/adults and some kids here and there are all "back in my days there was much more respect! the 50s was such a wonderful time!" they reply with "oh yeah? you wanna get back to women not leaving the house and racial segregation?" but somehow they're allowed to sperg about the 90s while ignoring the political problems of the era? Egh.
