The only people I seen pissed off at the 90's are wokie shits who get offended by the media of the time (even tho it was already really liberal), slacker genXers who thought the 80's were better because they were kids back then but by the 90's they had to get a job, reagan boomers still assmad that H-dubya lost the reelection, and finally whiny zoomers who thing everything old=bad, as they keep playing the same fucking GTA for over a decade and think ripoffs of PSX games are peak aesthetic.
It was an era of unprecedented peace and economic prosperity, meanwhile we are living in a dystopia that's somehow both more horrible and way more boring than any of the dystopias shown in the media ATT. At least Johnny Mnemonic had VR internet and cyborg implants...
TV: There was some quality here, but I haven't seen them in a while so I can't be sure. Prince of Bel-Air, Due South, Tales from the Crypt*, Red Dwarf*, and Mr Bean are all fondly remembered.
*Technically started late 1980s but ran through the 90s so they count
Don't forget The Sopranos, now that's a show that wouldn't be possible today.
I'd add Appleseed here, but it's technically from the 80s.
Most 80's anime didn't make it here until the 90's, specially OVAs. Hell I didn't see AKIRA at my local rental until like 1994, and they wouldn't let me watch it anyway because R-rated.
I hate mopey fucks like cobain but he was completely right that corpos were going to ruin music, and unlike today's mopey fucks he had the decency to sudoku himself.
I've also heard it said that the 90s sucked because PS1 ruined gaming by killing off pixel art
Only the most anal-retentive "games are art!" soycucks believe that.
and allowing dude bro normies into gaming
Yeah because we were all playing pong before the PSX right? Gaming was already mainstream back then, dudebros were playing NFL/NHL games, you had biggie smalls referencing the console wars in his songs, even girls were buying consoles. Gaming wasn't le secrit nerdz club these idiots think, hadn't been since the 2600 given how popular it was.
name me one thing that can cohesively define the 2000's or the 2010's. You can't, it's just all shit.
Yeah I been noticing the same, we're in a cultural stagnation, archeologists of the future might call this a dark age of sorts, depending of how long it lasts.
Yup that was the decade where big media realized rehashing the same old stuff makes most money.
Dunno, remakes of that era like lost in space and wild wild west bombed hard, same with "reboots" like godzilla. New IPs were still the norm until the mid 2000s when the abortion that was bay's transformers happened but this time everybody ate that shit up.
When I think "retro gaming" I normally think '70s and '80s, not '90s.
Zoomers think the PS2 is retro now.
ironically if you were a nerd back then you probably had more of a social life than the zoomers who spend all day on discord
Today the ease of access have never been greater and yet most stuff coming out is not even worth bothering.
Ironic isn't it?
I want cyberpunk and hyper violence, not overly-dramatic moe-blob slice-of-life paedo-bait isekia.
Same, guess that with japan's economy going to shit the locals would rather have escapism over an even darker future that looks increasingly more like the present.
Like half of that stuff its from the 80's tho.
