I was in the parking lot after a Ratdog show (where I got a very short handshake meeting with Bob Weir and annoyed him by asking him to sign my ticket, which he did). 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. Maybe because the guy with the map was supposed to sell me a small amount of pot and I was getting tired of waiting for him.

The net was still new to everyone and dial up was a pain. Our phone lines were always busy and my relatives would complain about how they can’t call my parents. 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!

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!!

These channels are quickly becoming my favorites. First videos in quite awhile that have made me feel happy watching. The 80s and 90s were happier simpler times for me and I love relivisiting these decades any way I can. I still have a VCR, a few VHS tapes and cassettes, and my old Video Games, and I'm glad I held on to them all these years. Great Channel.

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!

You basically had to have a connection of some sort even for part time work when you were in school. I ended up working at the Dairy Queen when I was 16, which was not my first choice by far, because my parents knew the owner. Even when I graduated college in 2000 and was looking for "real" jobs it was still tough and mostly paper applications you had to go to the place of business to fill out.

And that's why I totally loved the 90's and was for me the absolute best Decade. It was very wild and crazy (in a good Way) and experimental in Movies, Shows, Games, Comics, Toys, had very cool and also funny Commercials, etc. and that's exactly what gave this Decade it's Charme. So grateful for fully experiencing it back then ❤

@@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.

Pagers were tools of Satan himself. The idea was to have one to keep in contact SHOULD an emergency arise. Guess what? Every routine page became an emergency. I had one in the late 1990s, no cell phones yet. My dispatch used to put "911" on the page very rarely. Within a month or 2, every message on my pager had 911 attached, as in "drop whatever you're doing and call me".

The 70's to the 90's were my favorite times to be alive. Sadly I took too much of it for granted thinking that things would always be like that but I was so wrong. I would give anything to go back and live it all over again. Like the song goes you don't know what you got till it's gone. I did though make the best out of the times and lived life to the fullest. It's those awesome memories that make it why I want to go back so bad.

I had a Hypercolor shirt. I was in 4th grade and got it for Christmas from some family friends. I couldn't wait to wear it, so I wore it to school with a long sleeved shirt underneath because it was still cold out. Kids used to drag me down the hall and stand me in front of the heater to watch my pink shirt turn solid white. Then we'd go back to class, and they'd watch it slowly turn pink again as it cooled off. I was thinking about Hypercolor the other day, and I'm glad this video popped up so I could relive the glory days. I really miss the 90s. September 11, 2001 changed everything. The world began sucking after that. It's the delineation between everything was great to EVERYTHING SUCKS. Thanks for this lovely video!
