I landed in NYC in 1990 as a teenager. I stayed until 2008. The 90s rocked. There was more breathing room and more normal random people living there. All of them (us) have been priced out. I went back to NYC for the first time since I left and was struck by the lack of energy. When I lived there, everybody was heads up, looking for the next crazy or cool thing that was bound to happen. Everybody's energy was flying all over the streets. When I returned, I was shocked at the lack of energy. Everybody is face down in their phones, pouring all their essence into these little screens. Feels like a blanket over the whole town. Such a lack of vibrancy. Drones being prompted to their next mediated experience. Glad I left. Don't know what's left there.

@@MarmaladeSally Not necessarily. I can objectively say the 90s were good - people weren't yet completely uptight about everything. Political correctness didn't dominate media. There was just enough technology to make stuff interesting, like the early Internet. Cars looked better. Music was listenable. People weren't buried in their phones. The 90s had a feel - just like the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, 40s - all of those decades had a feel with distinct styles. The 2000s - not so much. 2010s? No. Now? Definitely not.

A few years prior to this footage the United States and Britain were bombing the shit out of Iraq based on a false testimony (Google the 'Nayirah testimony'). It should have been the awakening for many, but unfortunately that wouldn't come until 1) Wikileaks and Assange hit the scene and 2) Trump took office. Not even WTC-7 suddenly collapsing into freefall could prevent the American public seeking revenge on the boogey man 'Bin Laden.' Yes times were MUCH better due to a functioning society that didn't resemble a generation of mentally ill 'Tik-Tokkers', but the deep rooted evil in American politics and their need to destabilise the Middle East was alive and kicking.

I'm in my late 40s now, born and raised in NYC and still living there today. This video is a month after I returned to the city after graduating from college, and right around this time I was frantically trying to find my first real full-time job. It would take two more months to eventually land a 9-5 office job working at a magazine publisher, but man do I remember walking up and down these streets wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase -- going from interview to interview. Even though it was a rough time for me, I fondly wish I could return to this time when the city was so exciting and full of life and possibilities! I truly miss the way things were then--in my early 20s--and before 9/11 happened. Such a different vibe compared to the years that followed 2001. Thanks for the memories! Incidentally, the corner of 57th and 7th Ave where most of this was filmed is where my dentist of 18 years has his office. LOL! So I'm extremely familiar with this stretch!

This was when I took my first ever vacation as a kid with my family, 7 Years old at the time. We went to Staten Island and Manhattan. Daaaaamn time flies by.....

[@michellemarie1197]

I was 4 years old at the time, god I miss the 90s the 90s were iconic, NYC is still iconic

[@koreanature]

Wow, My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed

[@OsagieGuobadia]

Back when I was born in year 1998, I did not know what New York City look like. Full of cities, cars, humans, and even what the world look like when I was a baby and can't talk. Thanks for uploading the memories of NY, June 1998.

[@robroy6374]

1998 was 25 years ago, so yeah, it was long ago.

[@Racistdog]

Think of it as 2008 minus 10 years , not long

[@Rafael-Matheus96]

Ahhh the sweet 90's 🎈✨😌👌🏽

[@shadowlaw809]

1998 what a time to be alive!!

[@TheOldTapeArchive]

These types of videos are cool because they're rather rare from the 90's or before. Many didn't do these prior to 2005 (when KZbin began), because there was really nowhere to share it.

[@Galidorquest]

KZbin was created in 2005, but it wasn't really well-known until the Late 00's at the peak of Soulja Boy's career.

[@belstar1128]

Yea cameras where quite big back then and you had to buy blank tapes videos from before the 90s are way rarer its very hard to find videos from before the 60s.

[@Galidorquest]

​@@qewfsdsd65445 You've got it backwards, bro. You're probably just trolling for a reaction, but I'll humor you. So for starters, in 2005, many people (including myself, at the age of 9, and my out-of-touch, middle-aged parents) hadn't heard of video-hosting sites. I never even heard the word KZbin before until 2007 from the song "What Is It" by Baby Bash where he says "Dancing on KZbin". And at the age of 11, I didn't care to search for it because I assumed it was either a _ site or an alternative to MySpace. It wasn't until January 2009 when my friend got me interested in KZbin because it had footage for cheats of my favorite video game. And in 2009, KZbin was still kind of primitive and MySpace-like, and it lacked many songs & music videos. So it's impossible that KZbin would've peaked in 2005, the year of its launch. It was popular, but nowhere near as popular as it is today. Also, more people around the world today have access to high-speed internet on practically almost any device than they did in 2005. KZbin today is a powerhouse search engine, you can find almost anything on here. Practically almost every able human being on earth today visits KZbin. Even more senior citizens who aren't tech-savvy are starting to use KZbin in recent years. KZbin and the internet today is more popular than television, that's why it's infested with advertisements. 'Cause companies need to be seen by the masses. Even if some people are 'leaving' KZbin due to it becoming commercialized, it's not gonna make much of an impact. No other video-hosting site will *ever* become more popular than KZbin, it's too big of a powerhouse in today's world to ever collapse. It has too much content. KZbin's popularity can only increase as more senior citizens and people in developing countries discover the internet and video-hosting sites.

[@teddysy]

I moved to NYC on exactly this month in 98. It was a great place to be as an 18 year old college student. Things definitely changed a lot after 9/11.

[@mrandrossguy9871]

What if things changed naturally after the new Millennium Not just because of the attacks ?

[@garythomas1096]

Came to nyc to go college was 18 from africa. Moved to Philadelphia after that i remember hopping on the greyhound and go visit my sister in nyc 1998, was going to st Joseph s université in pa, moved to the mid south since nearly brought me to tears so many memories time flies. Was 18 now 38 usa became my new home since. Oh life, thx for the video

[@HarrisonPeloso]

It’s crazy to think how much NYC has changed since 2001 and from that point I was 6 going on 7 years old

[@patsysolatzzo2962]

I can’t believe you got the Brooklyn diner. It’s still one of the best breakfast spots like it was back then. I was a kid moving from Italy to a foster home on Long Island in 2000. The first time I came to the us was in 1998 though in may stayed in Manhattan In Tribeca through til august. I remember I experienced the fire works…it’s crazy that we can go back in time like this.

[@lucasargandona4658]

@QuestionsandAnswers So what you're basically saying, is that I caused the great depression when I was born?

[@belstar1128]

2010s was way worse in the 2000s you had some shit music and 911 but the rise of the proper internet (90s internet was a joke) made up for it now in this decade we have all the bad things about the 2000s but we also have insane politics with bad ideas from the early 1900s being resurrected movies are way worse now many video games are being ruined by micro transactions and unnecessary forced online.

[@normasavage6444]

i left NYC on the last months of 1997 so by the year after I was in California that same year and month of this video the best years of my life would begin

[@Oginaka]

I was born on this month. My mom is actually from Queens.. it looked so nice compared to now. I wasn't born in New York sadly, but I still uphold the fact some of my family was born and raised there.

[@eldo59]

Nothin' but Crown Vics, Caprices and Town Cars on the streets. Now its Prius, Camry, Maxima, Transit, and the last Crown Vics.

[@casmatori]

eldo59 I think apart from the Checker cabs of earlier times, the 90s was the best time for New York taxis. Nowadays there's such a mix, there isn't really an iconic cab anymore. And when the last Crown Vics go in a year or so, it will be lost forever.

[@eldo59]

To Infiniti, And Beyond I wish I was around to see the Checker cabs. '81 or '82 was the last production year. I believe the last ones went out around '86 or '87. By the time I was born.

[@christopherberry3036]

+To Infiniti, And Beyond Since it's the "spiritual" successor of the Crown Victoria, New York City should have use the Ford Fusion.

[@casmatori]

Christopher Berry Fusions are too small. The Taurus is a better fit.

[@christopherberry3036]

How about the newer model Fusions?

Thanks for the nice video! I lived in New York City for 5 years starting in 1989, so I recognize some of the scenes in this video. I am also making a documentary about New York City in the early 90's, so I found your video very interesting.

[@Arthue1]

I just feel weird by watching these videos and seeing what you people are typing how good that decade was .... while i wasn't even born yet .... i wish i had grown up in the 90s life feels like shit now

AWW I grew up in NY up until the mid June of 1998, the time this video took place. I was almost 7...that was the last time I was there. Can't believe that was 20 years ago.

Sucks out here...its the haves n have nots going against eachother now..too much pettiness

[@Schnipp08]

Compared with today the 90's seem like a dream world... like a beautiful dream world which is lost forever and only lives on in our memories and hearts. 2020-24 seems like a nightmare compared to this beautiful footage and not just because of the pandemic, the inflation or the war in Ukraine, in general!!!!

[@batmanbeyond1929]

The last decade when NYC was still a vibrant, amazing city. Visited in 1997 after an absence of over 10 years and noticed how much the city had been cleaned up since the 80’s. I’ve been to NYC many many times since I was a teenager in the 70’s but after my last visit in 2018 Won’t be going back as it’s totally lost it’s soul and character.

[@jazzcatjohn]

Funny, I visited in 2019 for the first time since I left Brooklyn in 1999 and Brooklyn Heights, Flatbush, Bowery, and the Village were pretty much the same. Some neighborhoods have changed a lot, but some not much at all.
