Nostalgia for the 90's and 00's

[mynameisjonas]

I miss that those years were the last normal generation for this country. Young people have no clue how good things used to be.

Does anyone else remember discovery zone? That place was amazing.

Also, Pizza Hut. Not that they don’t have it now (and it still may taste the same), but it hit differently as a kid

Pizza hut was seriously special. I respect the hell out of Godfather's because they didn't get caught up in the cheap pizza gold rush in the mid 2000's and stayed true to their quality. GF's is just as good now as when I was a kid.

Arcades. Going to Lazer X (previously Aladdins Castle) at Merle Hay or Loco Joe's was freaking amazing. It's fun to go to a retro arcade like up/down now, but it's not the same. Seeing people lined up to challenge each other at Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat in an arcade was peak 90s.

Loco Joes was like living my Dazed and Confused Emporium dream.

This comment has been made since man painted on cave walls. Kids' childhoods look different today than they did in the 90s in some ways, and both are way different than childhoods in the 1930s.

Did anyone else use ftp servers to download their music? In like 2003 I got a car stereo that played mp3 data so I could get like 200 songs on one disc and the face would show the artist and song name and that was revolutionary for me at the time.

Those sonsabitches got rid of Zima and party balls.

Not sure why Coors hates America and fun, but they obviously do.

Zima rocked. Please respect my opinion.

My roommate at ISU drank Zima. This you, Jeff?

I'm still waiting for the collection agency to show up at my house.

Born in '83 and I still love the 80s and 90's nostalgia. '00s not so much. It feels like the world changed after 9/11.

Flat table arcade games at Pizza Hut were special. Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Elevator Action.

Same, except my 13 were cassette tapes.

Music and movies of the 90's. Life just seemed a little less stressful then for younger generations. Everything costs so astoundingly more and the stresses these kids face today seem more extreme and occur at younger ages.

I didn’t until just now…wow what a callback. Discovery zone was the best.
