I had a talk with friends my age the other day about this. I don't think I would want to be growing up in this generation, man.

You said it...play outside. People were actually ON TIME too! Used to call the boys up to meet at the park and ball all summer long. It was a simpler time for sure.

I still remember when I first played the N64, that joint was way ahead of its time

I totally agree with everything you said.

I remember learning BASIC in elementary school and it was such an easy thing for me to grasp; along with building PCs running DOS with my dad.

I couldn't imagine being a kid now and tinkering with computers/dev like I did, it was so much simpler back then but still very cool.

Also, calling girls from the land line and hoping you don't get their parents or vice versa.

used to walk to the store and post up on the payphone calling the girlies.

Yeah man kids got it easy these days talking to girls because everyone got a cell phone and you can just text all day. Getting your balls up and calling a girl on a land line and spitting game was nerve racking, especially if her parents answered first.

yeah, and it was like alright I wanna talk to this chick for as long as it takes. :lol: be all psyched if i had an hour or two call. Kids these days couldn't handle that much time actually talking to a girl. :lol:

I was watching that kurt cobain doc and there was a part where he was talking about when he was a kid and he heard about punk rock but never heard it, and all he wanted to do was hear this music, and finally someone in his town got a cassette tape with some punk on it. I thought about how back when I was young it was kind of a similar thing. If I wanted to hear music my parents didn't have then I had to find it. It was always a great feeling to finally hear different music and it was going to the record store or a friend having a tape or whatever - it was an experience. I love the ease of access we have for music today, but it's just soooo easy. I just couldn't imagine that growing up.

 But we all know who the true female R&B group of the 90's is.



RIP LEFT EYE, baby girl.

But yeah, the 90's were awesome growing up as a child. Born in 94'. Wish I was 18 or sum during the era but it's all good. My childhood was great. Wouldn't trade it for the world.

And, bro that Kurt documentary was amazing. I could relate to almost everything he was going through as a child. Beautiful. Nirvana is one of my favorite bands of all time. RIP Kurt.

I didn't realize all the **** they had in that storage locker somewhere untouched since he died. Amazing film. Has had me listening to nirvana for the past few weeks.

Yes, I knew Kurt narrated it. But, you should of started a thread. Most of NT probably don't even know who Kurt Cobain is. And they'll probably love who he was honestly. I'm 21, and know almost everything about him. Nirvana changed my life. Nirvana, they're an extreme inspiration to me. But, yes, everything from Kurt growing up as a child, to the discipline he took, to leaving his home, and turning to music, has been an inspiration to me. He risked everything, But, deep down in inside himself, as well as his mother, knew he'll make it; even if it killed him, in which it did. I've watched the doc about 16 times since it released. It is such a beautiful documentary that I couldn't get myself to not watch it as many times as I did. It grasps Kurt before the end of his time so perfectly. From his childhood footage, to his marriage with Courtney; to the time in his life where Frances was born. It's definitely probably one of the best documentary's I've ever took the time to watch. And, that's from the bottom of my heart. I love Kurt. When they announced that it'll be on HBO, I almost cried. Because, it isn't so often that you're blessed to watch such a wonderful documentary for free. But, I love Kurt, from the bottom of my heart. RIP. True inspiration. 

Kurt Cobain; Montage Of Heck, I hope everybody at least gives it a chance, Kurt fan or not, you'll love it. Beautiful film.

Born in '91, so my memories of the 90's are limited to 1998 and 1999 essentially. However I experienced a lot of what you guys are talking about in here. I am still influenced by the 90's, from the movies I watched to the music I listen to. Just wished I could have experienced more of it

How are we talking about the 90s with no mention of Michael Jackson?!

I remember they did a special countdown before the release of this video:




and then when HISstory was about to drop, the commercials were everywhere





and there was a special making of the Scream video leading up to the release of this video:







and let's not forget the MJ x MJ Jam collabo video:

I prefer 80s michael but you right he was still huge in the 90s. 93 superbowl was great too.

Pretty much everything in the 90's was better. There was room for innovation and chance. This era banks on previous success
