My very personal theory is that things changed too drastically with the proliferation of the smart phone within a few years after the introduction of iPhone in 2007. While the 90s were my favorite era, up to the mid 2000s were not bad either--in fact, just as good as I perceived it. I think the human-human interaction became acutely less once the cell phone era became predominant and here we are nostalgically looking back at the 90s.

One of the first Bonnaroo festivals was happening (Ratdog were playing it the next day) as well as a smaller GD related festival in Southeastern Missouri. Some traveling wooks had a big map out and were showing some others how to get there. Dunno why that sticks out but I can still picture it.

A walk down memory lane. I remember being dropped off at the mall and hanging out with friends in the Arcade. Those are also the days where they had $1 movie theatre's. I could never fully enjoy movies no matter what theatre I was at because stadium seating wasn't a thing back then. I could only hope that in a theatre packed full of people nobody who was tall would sit in front of me and that barely happened. I remember the sound of manual credit card machines. Don't know why I loved the sound of it so much. Cars had roll down windows. Coming home with the streetlights came on and watching "Tales from the Crypt" at night with my friends. Simpler time back then and I have a wealth of childhood memories. I have to watch some more of these videos!!

There were some inconveniences but overall I miss the 90s so much. It is a pity that my nephews were not born yet. Yes, I only have a few beanie babies and got a few cheap ones that I liked. I still have them to this day. Sadly they are not worth anything. However, they are a priceless memory to me. Thanks so much for sharing and making this video!

Job searches were a nightmare, especially for us in rural areas. I would drive all day for several days going from business to business filling out applications in lobbies. If you were real lucky you could find a job in the classifieds section of the newspaper but even then, they would want you to go apply in person. Other option was the yellow pages, go down the list calling every business that might hire you of course then drive to every one that showed interest. My main issue was every city around me was long distance to call and that could get very expensive in a hurry!

The fact you had all Metallica tracks showing when talking about Napster was perfect! Well done sir well done

I would more do the 80's with my Commodore 64.

Omggg the allergy/vegan/vegetarian part. 😂😂😂 I have thought about this several times. Nowadays you can't even take cupcakes into school anymore for a birthday, god forbid someone swell up from an allergy. That was the best part of school back then, where were all the allergics in the 90's????

[@DaveTheRred]

I had turned 26 in 1990, I was getting married, working 2 jobs, and still getting established. In that decade, we had 3 kids, and I was so busy.

I just watched this video with my 8 year old trying to explain to her the things in the video that I owned or did at the time during the 90's when I was a tween and teenager lol. It's so crazy that I have to explain these things when It used to be common knowledge, this makes me really feel my age and now I understand more than ever why my parents and grandparents would say often that life is short, before you know it you'll be my age!

[@ITIsFunnyDamnIT]

One thing I miss about the old internet even though dial up sucked. I liked how you could personalize everything on your computer. Change the color and sound schemes. We had the internet, but still spent most of our time interacting with real people. You still had to back then. I ask myself if we're really better off now. In some ways yes as far as medical technology and internet, but IMO the 90sd was the last great generation, I loved the alternative grunge music scene, but that's gone forever too.

[@chelseagirl278]

reading this made me very sad

[@RyanW3112]

I haven't met anyone who lived through the 90's say it wasn't the best. We even treated each other better, both men and women actually tried in relationships. And the music is still better than today's

[@PraveenSrJ01]

Best time of our lives

[@bighock2886]

Lol, I remember my parents would take the phone off the hook during certain tv shows so we wouldn't be interrupted.

I lived a few blocks away from Rick's Video Library (minute mark 2:04) when I was a kid. I think our membership number was 73. It's a liquor store now.

The 1990s were quite a time. I remember them pretty fondly. Thanks for the video Rhett, hope you’ll have a great weekend. Take care!

[@HeritageSoftail]

Terrible music. The 70's were so much better

[@Lone-wolf-1982]

​@@HeritageSoftailGreat music that was still played on instruments. No auto-tune. 🤮

[@lainiwakura1776]

@@HeritageSoftail Have you heard the crap now? None of it compares.

[@sl8605]

I was born in 1960 and have seen all the decades up until now, imo the 90's were the least exciting, with the worst music.

[@Lone-wolf-1982]

@@sl8605 so the crap music of the last 20 years is better than the 90s. 🤣 I guess it depends on what kind of music you are into. Pop music of the 90s might be pretty bad. 90s country was great. I'm not a big fan of rap, but it came into its own in the 90s. Tool, Pantera, and the metal scene of the 90s was great. We had Grunge, and fabulous bands like the Smashing Pumpkins. There were exceptional jazz bands like Bela Flek & the Flecktones. The improvisational rock bands like Phish, and Widespread Panic produced excellent music in the 90s. And 80s/90s kids actually appreciated the music from previous decades. I can only speak for my friends and the schools I went to, but my peers enjoyed 60s/70s, and 80s music.

[@johnzwickjr.2676]

The 90s were my teens. Best time of my life.

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

I was in high school in 1995. What a fun era. It was the last great decade. Kids today won't know the world before all the electronic trash

I remember the video store because in my hometown was a mom and Pop store. Also remember the cassettes and many of the bands that you showed. I remember all the things that you talked about in this video. Thank you for the videos and memories. In the case of the 90s even the bad memories. Thank you for the nostalgia.

[@DeceptionEarth]

in the 90,s you had to get up off yo ass n go to your frends house to see what they were doin,and you always ended up doing something fun

My Aunt Virginia always left a message on our answering machine saying “where y’all at “ “ they’re not coming to the phone” or “the girla are on the internet “. God forbid we leave the house lmao.

The 90s… were everything. ❤

[@banjomechanic]

I paid for my college education by working in restaurants and taking up a second job during the summers. Paid tuition, books, food, rent, basic gear for playing in a local band, as well as the alcohol and other popular party plants 😏. Otherwise, I was broke. And it was a great time!
