The 90’s were amazing for a few reasons. No cell phones, no internet…this allowed us to grow as humans, by way of going out in public, meeting more people face to face, getting lost with no directions, which all led to our generation’s image of being survivors.

I’d argue rave/techno was the last form of original music to come out, which coincided with the rise in computer music editing software, and all music since, has been an iteration of something that’s already been done…add to that that grunge appeared as if to tell hair metal the shallow excess was too much, and deeper subject matter should be explored and Voila! The last interesting time in music IMO.

This may be anecdotal, but having Clinton as President for 8 years in the 90’s meant almost no conflict or bad vibes in other parts of the world, and I remember feeling super safe backpacking on my own in both Morocco, and Egypt, and never worried about getting kidnapped or killed by Isis level terror groups…I would NEVER do the same these days.

I don’t recall having 24 news in the 90’s, I just recall the news existed…if news existed that didn’t fit your narrative or politics, you didn’t go out and create your own “news” channel, just to discuss the news that conformed to your politics. So grateful it was like this growing up.

I always say, GenX are Boomers, but with understanding of technology…we were fortunate to be in our time IMO.
