At 1990 I was 24 what a difference I feel I've lived in 2 different worlds ❤

Great times. I was 14. At 18 my friend bought a golf GTI - then wrapped it around a lampost in Woolwich.

Wow, I literally recognised nearly every street you drove down. That Odeon cinema in Marble Arch was one of several my brother and I used to sneak into every weekend. That year Arnold was top of the charts with True Lies. You passed by the Cumberland Hotel, which changed to a Hard Rock Hotel before reverting back to its original name. On Cromwell Road, the Marriott Kensington Hotel replaced that Timberland one, the Holiday Inn monster tower block is now a disused eyesore. The 90s was the last great decade before mobile phones took over society.

That's funny. In videos about the 60s everybody says the 60s was best. The same with the 70s and 80s. It's almost like everyone thinks the era that you're young in was best.

@@th8257 you would think most people realise this, but it's shocking to see how many people think that their favourite era is objectively the best era of all time for everyone. 🤦

@@richardsmith8790 totally agree mate, there’s no authenticity anymore. We are same age so I would imagine a lot of it is to do with the fact that we were both young and probably didn’t have that much responsibilities. I think being an adult is a bit shit in general.. even the music was much better.

Looking back on the first half of the 90s, it was fairly miserable in many ways. The recession had really wrecked everything and unemployment went through the roof. A lot of people had their homes reposessed. The Tory government had been in power for 15 years, was hugely unpopular, and clearly felt like it had totally run out of steam and was holding the country back (a bit like now). The election of the Blair government in 1997 really felt like a huge breath of fresh air at the time, and a big break from the early 90s.

Its so funny when you see videos like this. In your mind, 1994 doesnt seem so long ago. And then you notice certain things that really age it and you think "it really was a long time ago, wasnt it"

What a video. The 90s were the last great decade. Enough technological advances, but not enough that we could take away the human aspect. No social media, no smartphones. Britpop and funky house in the charts. Loved it.
