the camera was innovated in 1888. The first photo was taken in 1827. Kids now think that technologies were instantaneously emanated now. Technologies are gradually improving and changing.

[@slimkt]

I feel like this is a huge reason 90s kids are so nostalgic. We came up right when technology just kind of boomed with the Internet and smart phones and streaming and watches that you could talk on, etc etc. It all came on so fast that simpler times seem so far away (eg: twenty-somethings reminiscing on things like Nokia phones and snake,) when in reality, it really wasn't THAT long ago.

[@lordlickorice]

Try telling these teens that. I think they were expecting to see people showing up to school in a horse and buggy.

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

Word. I was a teen in the '90s and twentysomething in the 2000s. Technology evolved so much in that period, it was hard to keep up. In the past, it would have been the fashion that changed radically from decade to decade, but not so much anymore.

1990 isn't really "the 90s" though. It's more the void that existed between the 80s and the 90s. The 90s didn't really start until 1992ish.

[@hectorroman9164]

It started in the second half of 1991 when grunge started and its really tecnically the start of the decade so realizing that 1990 didnt seem as a transitional year just like year 2000 Im starting to believe the no year 0 theory.

It happens at the beginning of every decade. It usually takes about one or two years for a decade’s culture to get widely known.

[@laughspirin202]

[@yones6958]

Uhm, numerically speaking though it is clearly the 90's but may be culture-wise, it seems like a transition period from 80's to 90's. You can't expect a generation to easily switch from one culture to another.

[@bongodrumms]

I was born in '89 and I think my generation is feeling so nostalgic because technology moved SO FAST for us. Not many people had cell phones but then suddenly EVERYONE had phones. With dial up fading away and video games getting better at such a quick pace, we didn't get a chance to slow down and appreciate these things. Now that we're way past it, we look back and long for the simpler things.

No they don't only live in their phones. And social media is wonderful in how far reaching it is. But I just thought it was very interesting that communication was one of the first things they brought up in this discussion. Maybe it's not so much communication as it is awareness. People walk around staring down at a screen and often miss out on the life that's moving by them. It's sort of a 'take time to stop and smell the roses' kind of thing.

[@payableondeath7]

As a kid whose entire childhood was in the 90s, the nostalgia mostly comes from the fact that, within the span of six or seven years, the world became a different place. In 1996, you had blackboards, the internet just seemed like some rich kid's toy that you'd never get to play with, and DVDs weren't mass market yet. Seven years later in 2003, computers and internet in almost every school, whiteboards for days, DVDs are the only way to watch movies, and nearly all of the kids in my school had cell phones. From personal experience, thinking back to life pre-2001 terrorism feels like a different life completely, like how people think they remember "past lives" except I literally lived it and am still alive. It's very strange to think about. The last 10 years has felt kind of the same, just with things ramping up; everything is the same except for smartphones, basically, but more excessive.

To every kid saying they wished they lived in the 90s: just remember when you have to do your next research projects, if you really did in the 90s you’d have to go to the library and examine newspaper clippings to get information. The World Wide Web didn’t exist until the mid 90s and even when it just started, it wasn’t good. BE HAPPY YOU HAVE INTERNET TO DO RESEARCH.

This thing dates me. I was just in college. What would be really interesting to me is a similar video from 1999. This video is very late 80s-pre grunge 90s, but just 5 or 6 years later, culture was SO different. PCs were so ubiquitous by then, the internet was there, cell phones were more common. I would bet that a video from 1999 would be more similar to today than it would be to 1990. The big difference is no smart phones, and the internet wasn't quite as developed as a place to buy things, but a lot of things are similar.

As someone who grew up in the 60s and 70s, this is always fascinating. The early 90s weren't so different, but that was about to change: computers were becoming actually useful, and public Internet access was about to explode -- though mostly email and newsgroups at first. It was a turning point that quickly evolved into a personal electronic technological era. And then the world changed (again).

[@80s_GenLover]

The 90's were pretty great! Growing up back then was awesome - I wouldn't want to grow up later :P I'm happy I DIDN'T have all of the technology, because I could have time to do athletics, dance classes, draw and run around outside with my friends all day without feeling I was missing out on anything important. There was enough time to rollerscate, learn to play many types of instruments, knit, build wooden "suits" to play warriors - you get really creative when someone else isn't entertaining you. Oh, and it was fine just going to your friend's house and knock on their door!

I was a kid in the 90's and a teen in the 00's and it was nearly the same for me and I guess a lot of people from my generation.

So I can say that I am glad that I experienced my time like I did, although sometimes I wish I was born 10 years earlier just to be a teen in the 90s ;)

We're so obsessed with documenting that the things worth documenting takes the back burner to actually having a good time.

I really wish I was a teen during the 90's instead of catching the tail end of it. I think the nostalgia is real because unlike the decades prior, there wasn't a whole 10 years to enjoy something.
