Oh, you poor, sad soul.
The whole 90's kid thing basically became this:

These guys never made any sense. Most old music is still easily available, even more out there stuff like 1970s Cambodian psychedelia from before the Khmer Rouge took over. There's no reason to want to go back in time. It was harder to access those artists in the past when people had to go to record stores.
And I say this as a big fan of classic rock and jazz, so the rest of you must think this even more so.

If you have to say you're better than a lolcow, you aren't.
Damn, this forum would be so much better if people always followed that rule.

So, what kind of music are you into, dude? Im open minded when it comes to music, so chances are, I'll probably like whatever you mention.

I was in high school in the 90s (class of 96) and I listened to both contemporary bands and classic rock. Including the Beatles. Guess what -- nobody gave me shit for it. A lot of my classmates listened to classic rock as well.
I remember being a big fan of New Kids on the Block as a tween, and then Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, and god help me, Milli Vanilli. (Raise your hand if you ever had a mall claw or wore pegged pants?)
Granted, there are some things I miss about the 90s. Like MTV playing videos, my grandparents, and while I'm not fat, there's no way I'm ever going to see 110 again.
Oh, and I wish my SNS still worked. I dragged it out the attic, just for fun, but it was all mildewy inside from when the roof was leaking. Dammit.

90s kids are some of my fave cows to laugh at, if only because they never change the tune. They don't realize they live in a truly lucky era, if they wish to watch their favorite nicktoons again they can just go online on a streaming site and watch them nonstop without commercials or other shows coming up in the way. And they can eat their favorite candy/junk food whenever they please, and find those rare toys they so wanted to buy when young via amazon or eBay, if they're still into toys...
Or I dunno, maybe there was truly magic dust sparkled all over the era of the 90s. I guess nothing beats renting a video at the Blockbuster while buying a Combos!

Pretty much. I don't understand why they want to go back to a time when it was actually harder to access stuff when most of that stuff is still available.

I also reckon it has a lot to do with nostalgia. If you had a happy and sheltered childhood (no abuse, no missing parents, no poverty, etc etc), you will think kinder upon it than others. Hence why baby boomers go on and on about how "magical" the 50s were. The past always looks better than the present, especially if it seemed simpler or "kinder" than the current times.
The 90s had a lot of nifty stuff to look back at (not only in vids and pictures), I'll admit it (and a bit of nostalgia cause :powerlevel
, but it doesn't help your cause at all to react like an old grandpa about it and start some weird contest between then and now.

Yeah, one thing I'll give this decade is that accessing music/movies/TV show episodes has never been easier.

My favorite bands are The Residents and Skiantos, but I'm not a big rock fan. I like eurodisco like Les Rockets and Cerrone, trash remixes like Crookers and My life with the trill kill kult, nerdy shit like Devo and Kraftwerk, italian story singers like De Andrè and Branduardi and the whitest rap possible that are Ugly Ducklings and Dr Steel. Also tons of commercial music, from the good ol' Shaggy to Nicki Minaj. You not knowing some of these doesn't make me smarter though, that's the point.
If you know any other band similar to these feel free to share, I crave new music very bad lately
I'm talkin about spergy shit like this:

The part about good vs bad childhood isn't necessarily true. My mom grew up really poor but wishes to go back to the 60's (or earlier) because she hates the world of today. She thinks it's worse than the past, but I don't think that's really true, just that more people are aware of the varying degrees of the bad. Likewise there's probably at least a fair amount of 90's kids that don't remember the first World Trade Center bombing, the Oklahoma City bombing, the sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway, and so on.

It certainly isn't. Average American families in the 1960s lived in incredibly modest conditions by today's standards, and being black in the South was so much fun in those days. The only place where that's really true is in some cities in the Rust Belt where industry has gone, but people can move away from those places to find work.
The per capita GDP of the United States in 1980 was $12,576.
Currently it's $57,220.
From 1963 to 2013 the US life expectancy increased from 70.2 to 78.7 years.
I have no idea how the sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, which killed about as many people on the other side of the world as a bad weekend in Chicago, has any effect on this.

Early 90's grunge counts as "soft" guitars now?
Here I was thinking it'd be more fitting about Dashboard Confessional.
I'm not even sure I can be mad though because you're also a Residents fan.

When these nostalgiatards grow up, they're probably going to regret not being into the current pop culture when they were young, and/or they're going to get into the stuff they previously bashed and pretend they were all about it back in the day.
Instead of enjoying being young and embracing their youth, they're trying to be nostalgic for a time they never experienced first hand.
This song is about just that... but knowing these nostalgiatards, they'll just miss the point and get "nostalgic" for the song...
While I can't stand people who only like certain music if it's popular whether they actually enjoy it or not, the people who bash all modern music and listen to stuff from before they were born are just as bad.

We live in an era where you can find what the fuck you want online without the fear of incoming calls cock-blocking you, the chance to piss off international gamers as if they sat right next to you, and porn like you wouldn't goddam believe. If you want to imprison yourself in a hermetically sealed time capsule, hell, you can buy anything online to seal the illusion!

Rediscovering old songs you heard as a kid and didn't hear again for years is fun and all but you gotta admit there's some good modern shit like Bastille and Flogging Molly. Or, yknow, songs of which you feel as though you can't get enough into your earholes with just one listening.
