I am from 89. I am so happy I lived the life before internet took it all. As some 2000s kids see this normal, I sense a lot of separation in families and friends. There is absolutely nothing like going out, sit on the streets, watch cars pass while you both talk breathing fresh air, watching the true colors of the world. Being at family parties or friends with easily over 50 people, everybody having so much fun. Definetly I am happy I lived through this for some years of my life.
I was born in 78. I was a teenager all through the 90s. I would love to go back. I miss my family and that safe feeling you have when your whole family is home at the end of the day. I have no one now.
If it makes you feel any better man I'm in the same boat myself. Don't really talk to family. Most are estranged. Mother long gone. Cousin long gone. Sisters have their own lives with husbands. I just have memories of the 70s and 80s. I have no one either.
Anyone else remember playing little games in the street in the early evening with your cousins during birthday parties or holiday gatherings? Maybe playing catch with the football or baseball. Now we've all grown up and apart from one another, unknowingly.
i remember going to each others houses and now we barely see my cousins, shame, we had much fun when we were kids. sometimes i forget i have xyz cousin and that xyz cousin has xyz kid
Yes! We also played past sundown and we called them night games. We'd play hide and seek and other fun games. Damn. The older I get, the more I think back on those carefree times. I'm so glad I grew up when I did.
I was born in 1984. The 90's were my childhood. No smart phones. Outside all the time. I even worked at Blockbuster in the late 90's. Blessed to have experienced a childhood like that.
87 here. I worked at Blockbuster as well. Man, what a time we had! the only peace I have about this is maybe every generation feels this way? But, our narrative is different cause of technology, it’s changed substantially since the tech boom. no other generations had to deal with that, playing outside was still a thing, no internet/screen time weren’t a thing, etc… Who knows, all i know is we had it made and the world was a different place and now things just suck. LORD, come get US. The way the world has changed is all Biblical btw. we’re just waiting on him. turn to the Lord if you haven’t accepted Jesus, trust me.
The sadness that stems from missing my 90s childhood is balanced by knowing I am giving my own young children their own version right now. It's special in its own way, and I'll look back on it in 25 years with the same longing I look back on the 90s.
The 90's felt like the last gasp of true greatness in America. From the 50's through the 90's we had it made. Not to get too heavy but it feels like standing around in a party that ended and you're just waiting for a ride home. Not just in America but the world, things are getting bad.
Oil crisis of 1973, Watergate, de-unionization, and de-valuation of lower and middle class labor were the downturn. But from 1933-73 or so, hard times, but hard won gains for workers, too.
Internet and Social Media has just increased by 1000x on how you receive information happening around the world. Limit your viewing of these things and enjoy the moment your living in, just like in the 90s!
its a hard realization that you had debatably the most perfect childhood in human history, and that you cant give your kids the same thing because the world doesnt work that way anymore.
Before the peace, stability, and prosperity were taken from us by a bunch of venomous psychopaths on 09/11/2001. It's never been the same since, except for 2019, which was a great year.
@@anonosaurus4517 They were plotting their evil bs and conducting their wars then and way before, we just didn't know any better and we hadn't felt the effects of their evil yet. Now it's all too clear.
These houses definitely take me back to the 90s, especially since they look like they're on the East Coast and I lived in New York in the 90s. It was such an amazing time. I still remember trick-r-treatin' there, grinding Mario Kart and Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64 and watching movies on Vhs...gosh, those were the days... 🥲
The year I was born. It really was the last decade where kids were just kids. No social media telling them they needed to be any different, playing in the street unsupervised until dark. Back when you didn't have someone's voice talking at you from a screen all the time.
Born in 67 - memories are vivid in the mid 70's onwards - as a kid I remember waking early Saturday mornings - quickly eating breakfast and without any real plans just go outside - meet friends, and the entire day was filled with adventures. We just did things and before you realized it - the sun was setting and that was you sign it was time to head back home. Looking at photo's of growing up it does dawn on you that during those times you never realize how good life was until later and you reflect back. Peace and Love to all - remember Proverbs 4:23 -
Was born in 93' October. What I miss most: Life before social media. Life before widespread internet. Windows 98' and Space Cadet Pinball. Endless summers of childhood that seemingly lasted for years. Anytime before 9/11. Friday night Blockbuster rentals. Damn, I even miss the smell of Blockbuster. 31 now. Life before social media and widespread access to the Matrix seems.. happier, simpler, and far more relaxing. Remember printing out mapquests? Or even before that.. using an actual map. I was only 6 when people partied like it was 1999....sadly. Joined the USMC to fight in a war I grew up with. And now, the world is losing its damn mind. Nostalgia.
Wow, you are in the exact same boat as my younger brother, also born in October 93, also served in the USMC. Benjamin I hope this music fills you will some good nostalgia instead of a stink for the present. Maybe someday we could be nostalgic for something happening right now, if we fight like hell to keep our chins up. I was born in 90 and feel the same way about everything you just said. Blockbuster was just down the street from my old home, summers spent in our back yard, sparring with plastic lightsabers and playing Mariocart on the 64. It was a great time to be alive.
Born in spring '87. What I miss most about growing up in the 90's was how social we were just playing pretend and seeing that light, on the end of the street coming on and knowing when to go inside. Does anyone also miss how awesome it was renting a VHS (even DVDs when the came out) and console games? It was the Super Nintendo and getting the boys and girls together, at my house playing Street Fighter, Super Mario Kart, Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombats 1-3. Back when it was simpler to just knock on your friend's door ask if, they could come out to play and rallying everyone outside to just hang out. Throwing rocks at the wall, AT EACH OTHER and getting black eyes in the process, even just playing tackle football. The advanced technology slowly began taking those childhood experiences away from children from today. It also took away our social skills to even walk up to say, "Hi, my name is ___. Nice to meet you. What do you like doing?". Our generation has our faults as with others but I feel we build so much character from it..... Nowadays, the best feature is how many followers you can have rather than how many friends you've truly gained, for life and beyond. We're also the ones trying to bring back things from generations prior to appreciate like music, value....... just little things. I don't expect everyone to agree but I wanted to share what I thought here. Cheers to everyone just trying to enjoy life right now because, I'm cheering for y'all too. Because booyah! Y'all are the bomb, our shit's still phat today and as if anyone else thinks otherwise? They can fuckin' talk to the hand because our shit it tight!
I was born 1993 in July. I always look at the pictures from the past. The smiles were real then. Now we don't take pictures because we don't see each other anymore.
I was born in 1964 and agree. After 1990s I don't remember many dates relating to anything other than horrible September 11th 2001. I have not heard a band on the radio since the 1990s that made me want to go out and buy their music. I can remember movies, music and much more from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. After Y2K not so much.
It's wild for me, born in 82, to have had 18 years living in the greatest century, during the greatest decades. Then post 9/11 everything gets worse each year.
@@robbratcher4675 they tested the waters with blatant lying to our face on TV via Bill Clinton I did not inhale or have sexual relationships with Monica. Experimented but did not inhale, like he had a bunch of Bunsen burners in a test lab! And we have evidence of sexual relationships with Monica. Slick Willie.
It was simple, peaceful, and overall a prosperous decade. Completely different of what we have now. Even older people in their 80s now, said that the 90s was special
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 I'm from Kazakhstan. In the 90s, my country obtained its independence from the USSR. It was total darkness over here back then, nothing in the markets, crime everywhere. But I still miss the 90s, because emotionally I felt better then than now, when we have everything. Life after the smartphones has been insufferable. After COVID it's even worse. Introverts everywhere. Even myself who used to be an extravert have become an introvert. Sucks..
1993 I was homeschooled, till I got to 8th grade and went to one of the best public schools in the state of Rhode Island. I would come home as the street lamps went on, and Halloween was the best.
21. Man, nostalgia is hitting me hard. Like i can feel it physically in my throat and the pit of my stomach. The visuals helped too. I can almost smell the crisp, clean, cool evening autumn air. That type of cool where you gotta put the hoodie on. Love the 90s and autumn, in any decade, and these videos.
21 as in ure 21? The 90s looked cool, but these comments are acting like the World drastically changed into a dump truck when many people complaining or acting nostalgic weren't even born then...or people barely older than me saying how they miss times before social media's when they barely experienced those...to each their own...but i didn't come here to read clearly exaggerated dramas. We made so much progress on equality and respect and it seems there are always more and more people to actively help the Planet and its animals, that's something that clearly wasn't so present (or as persistent) in earlier decades. Then ofc there are some nostalgic things, but nostalgia is there just so that you don't hate on your life. Like, I sometimes think about my childhood and get nostalgic but I act would never wish to "be a kid again", no independence and all...we just forget the bad things thinking all was perfect, but nothing changed that much. Not in bad, anyways. I'm a "old soul", and if someone misses the "old times" so bad they could simply live the way they did 🤷🏻♂️ im 19 and just bought a vintage city bike and wear loafers and listen to vinyls...which sound corny but just to say a few things that most people don't do anymore that i still live by. Just cause society "moves on" doesn't mean YOU, too, have to. But it is great the World is making progress in important things. It's about how you use and see them after all; like technology: it's helping and will help so many illnesses!
It all feels like a dream. Sometimes I'll see bits and pieces. Memories - but felt as if it never happened. When I was young I never thought this is how it would feel to remember the past.
I was 20 in October of '93 and remember that month well. I fell into limerence with some guy, worked a bad office job, and had some really good times. 🎸
Well done, I graduated HS in 02, I'm fortunate to still get together with several friends thatve grown up together. Last Saturday four of us got together around a fire table at the same place we did thirty years ago. Hope everyone out there has a great fall season this year 🎃🌛
the very first picture is so accurate, like im seeing it for the first time yet it feels so personal, the fading sky, the bare trees, the houses and their windows... everything is so warm to my heart and sad as well. i swear nostalgia is my favourite feeling and the most weird feeling ever. i wasnt even born untill 2003 but i feel like i belong there in the 80s or 90s. thank you for creating this!!
@kilitauriel Thank you so much for sharing this! It's incredible how certain images or moments can evoke such strong emotions and memories, even from times we haven't personally lived through. Nostalgia really is a strange but beautiful feeling, isn't it? I'm so glad that the video resonated with you on such a personal level. It’s a reminder of how powerful the connection to the past can be, and I’m honored to have been able to create something that speaks to that. The 80s and 90s truly had a unique atmosphere, and it's amazing that you feel a sense of belonging to those eras. Thanks for watching and being part of this journey!
Everything felt so different then. I was a teenager in the 90s and I cannot imagine growing up in any other decade. There was something truly unique about living then. Even if you aren't a 90s kid, I humbly welcome you to the pack. :)
@@Areala21 thank you so much!! being a teenager in the 90s sounds so warm and exciting to me, like it was the best time to be a kid (tho in my country it was very tough, my older siblings hated it) but i still connect to this time and feel like it was the last time ever the world felt special, somehow unique just like you said, and very beautiful... now i just feel like society is empty and its crazy that people in the future will be nostalgic about our time just like we are nostalgic about previous decades...
I want to go back and time and see my grandparents alive and healthy 🥺❤️ 1993 was the perfect year for that. All 4 of my grandparents were well. Now they’ve all passed on 😭
Started driving in 1993. Got my first real job with a bunch of other teens at an ice cream parlor in downtown Orlando. Met a girl that summer in Cocoa Beach and spent a lot of time hanging out with her there. My friends and I used to sneak into EPCOT through a back gate and go through the park for free. I didn't realize it then, but thats what real freedom felt like.
Wouldn’t replace my 90s experience for anything in the world .. playing with friends in the neighborhood, biking around like we were bosses, I feel so bad for those who didn’t get to experience youth like that. Life hands you a deck and says here play this see how you do.. and we all learn as we go. But deep down we’re all moved by similar things, it’s pretty cool
Biking around like we were bosses! I remember when 'mountainbikes' with gears were hot and new and I swopped my bmx for a mountainbike All the kids liked doing tricks and stunts and driving in the park or doing races and we would go out to other villages and on adventures
1980 baby Here. If I could travel back in time I would travel to a time when I didn't know the world could be so painful. To the feeling of home, in the world in general. Family laughter, Tickles, Jokes, Board games, Mom's food, Cookie jars, Alf, Cabbage Patch kids, Movies of the time still stand out maybe I'm partial though. The way the air smelt after the rain, riding my bike with the pink and purple tassels from the neighbor's. Racing to beat the streetlight, kissing mom on the cheek saying good night. falling to sleep on car rides, getting carried inside by Dad while pretending to be sleep lol. Mama & Papi are both gone now, and I'm so full of such gratitude for all the memories that sustain me, Through what this world has unfortunately become. #longliveNastalgia #ETERNALPASTROCKS Thank you!
I was just starting first grade in fall 1993. Brings back memories of Legos, riding my bike through the neighborhood, and soccer with my friends at school. No social media, cell phones were considered a luxury (you could only make calls with them), it was an innocent time.
It was a lot better. Things were starting to get degenerate though. Not nearly as bad as today but it was beginning to ramp up from the bs that was the 1960's and all of the boomer hedonism.
Born in 79. Everyone says things were simpler…maybe? I think there was less information being thrown at you. It was still materialistic and heavy in that way but less so than now. It was quieter, that is what I think they are trying to convey. Less noise period. There were more quiet moments outside. Now we have to not only completely leave the city but our phones and internet behind for quiet.
I would give everything I own to go back and relive the 90s again. I was 9 going on 10 in the fall of 93. Everything sucks now except the technology even that has its limitations.
That sounds like the music that would play on the radio while you were drifting off to sleep at the back of your mom's car and the evening sun would paint everything red and gold.
1993 what a great year. I was a child and everyone in my extended family was still alive and healthy - grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I miss them so much 🙏❤️
The reason the colors were "warm" is because you were seeing the world as God created it, instead of the illusions the vain minds of this world have manufactured.
yeah I am always wondering, were colors different, even indoors, was it tv's and chs footage and movies shit on film, or was the sun more yellow or is that just silly.... There is a different feel to color back then materials and fashion and interiors changed also and weather changed, much is different
I was born in 1990. Some of my earliest memories were around this time, and, at least in my personal experience, the reality is as good as the hype. It really was a great time to be a kid.
It wasn't perfect; there were problems. There were really serious problems around the world back then -- just as it was in the distant past, as it is now, and as it shall be in the future. But even then..... ....the 90s were truly the greatest time to be alive and live as a kid.
Thank you. Born in early 80's In the 80s we had radio signal tv/antenna tv and only 3 channels. Then we moved and had maybe 40 channels cable tv and later a vhs and we rented movies weekly. We lived outdoors all the time, free, adventures, good friendships. People were not ever politically obsessed as far as I noticed, nothing like it, just different flavors in music and sports and fav tv shows and movie. Romance was different. LOL Who remembers Top Gun, all the martial arts and action movies, the old comedies on vhs, tvs and pc's had a 3d shape. I remember not watching it every time but Home Alone being on tv around Christmas etc Christmas was different more family oriented and cozy. Looking up to Role models and popstars. Of course Michael Jackson etc my buddies had gameconsoles and we had pc games. I had bmx bike and later mountainbike with gears :) I remember electric keyboards were new :)
in some places of the world, we dont even have cool winters or autumns anymore... the temperature is as if it is the same all the time, everywhere and it is too hot. No more crisp afternoons, almost
yes true in my country there is a famous ice marathon and the last time was in the 90's nobody back then would ever have thought that for decades it would not exist anymore, it was part of our national culture, bringing so many people together LOL out in the cold eating hot soup and wearing funny hats. There were songs and video clips about it. It is like it is wiped thanks for remembering
… Looking back at sunsets on the East Side We lost track of the time Dreams aren't what they used to be Something's slide by so carelessly … Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it … And someone is calling my name (from the back of the restaurant) And someone is playing a game (in the house that I grew up in) And someone will drive her around down the same streets that I did On the same streets that I did -The Killers, Smile Like You Mean It
1993 that's 4 years before I was born ,I was born in November 97' I wish I was able to experience the 90s more but I'm glad I was at least there for 2 years
I was born in 1999 (not in USA). I've never experienced the 90s, but somehow that time feels like home. When I'm listening to the this kind of playlists or looking at the photos from back then, a huge wave of nostalgia washes over me. I don't know why
I went from 10 to 20 through the 90's in the USA. I can tell you that it was the greatest time ever. There was peace, there was prosperity, society felt cohesive and strong. It was remarkable, and it's vanished. We still have many aspects today, but the surety and calm is completely gone, or maybe I'm just older now.
Maybe you lived through that time in another life and came back in 1999 as another person ....just a thought. That would explain why you feel so connected to the 90's.
@@radioVHS149 ...I'm a _millennial,_ dude. Gen Z didn't start until *1996.* Simple math and even glancing at the title of the video would have allowed you to deduce that. And the word "crazy" has both existed and been used to describe things _long_ before Gen Z was around.
Now that people are nostalgicizing a time I grew up in, I have to say, when I was alive in 1993, I had absolutely no idea the 90s were this cool. There was an inkling but, I mean nobody told me. I remembered it as a time of real stagnation, and suffering, and despair we could not have the cultural greatness for previous generations.
It's kinda bizarre for me to look back and appreciate the 90s the way I do now, in 2024 when the world feels like it's on fire. Being American, it certainly felt like we were all treating eachother like siblings. We disagreed on a lot of things but we knew human decency. We respected our differences, even if we disagreed. I hope that somehow... we not only go back to that sense of safety and respect, but that we learn from our mistakes now so that our future can feel bright again.
I was 12 in Fall 1993. I most likely wore a homemade costume of some sort! I have a vague memory of wearing all black and putting on cat ears and a tail and being a cat! It was a different time, an age of innocence and simple pleasures. Now I have a 12 year old daughter who is better at technology than me, already outgrew dressing up for Halloween and knows way more about the world and life than I did at her age! 😂
😂. This is about being nostalgic not delusional. Carter was an ineffective one-term president and Reagan laid the foundation for the destruction of the middle class. The war on drugs created the cartels and didn't stop the drugs. And the border is has literally been there since someone drew it on a map.
Think of all the kids who don't get to grow up in such nice homes, or the kids that don't have a home at all. Donate to your local homeless shelters or children's support organizations.
This reminds of some show that ran very late at night in 93. I am not sure if it was local or not but was about star signs or astrology. It sounded very familiar to this.
Man.... It's so bittersweet reading everyone's experiences here. I was born in 1989. Just missed the 80s, but got to experience every joy and pleasure of growing up a 90s kid. I think most people have a hard time taking off their rose-colored glasses when they turn their heads 'round to look back on the past -- to each person, their decade(s), their childhood, was the "best" era. For my parents, it was the 50s and 60s. For a friend, it was the 70s. For others I've met, the 80s were undeniably the best time to be alive. And to us, it was the 90s. In reality, the 90s had its own set of issues, just like any other time period, but there is one major thing that separates the pre-2000s/pre-2010s from every other era, and that is the rapid advancement of technology. For those of us who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, the internet was akin to "the final frontier", short of only space itself (and, perhaps, the deepest depths of the ocean). In its early stages there was still a great sense of community, exploration, mysticism, and creativity. I do feel like that has been lost to some degree, and that our seemingly endless quest to advance technologically has come with its own set of set-*backs*. I still believe in that Star Trek future, but I will admit that it's hard to see in regards to how and why we are using the tools at our disposal. But I digress. There is always a silver lining. There will always be good uses for things as well as bad. Regardless of what decade you were born in, the 90s will always have a special place in the hearts of the people that grew up in it, just as the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, and others will have significance for their people. I'll never forget what made it memorable for me. Floppy discs and Soleau Software Games. Bikes with streamers and hanging with the neighborhood kids "smoking' candy cigarettes in the front yard. Eyes glued to the little box tv set, watching Jurassic Park for the first time. Sitting for an hour by the cheap radio waiting for my favorite tune to play on Radio Disney. Lying on the living room carpet with my sister and counting how many fun shapes we could find in the popcorn ceiling. Running home so I could catch the latest episode of Ducktales or an Animal Planet tv special. Dressing up as Steve Irwin for Halloween. Reenacting Disneyland's Electrical Parade. Staying up past my bedtime singing Land Before Time songs with my sister. Feeling my sweaty hands slip across the keyboard trying to beat a level of Croc. Going to WB with my dad. Waiting in line to "ride" Arctic Thunder at Chuck E. Cheese 'cause it was the only game that had a fan. And so many other amazing memories. I miss the 90s dearly, not solely because of everything that happened in it, but because of how it made me feel. It made me feel warm, and connected, and in a place of belonging, and I miss that feeling....
@plutonis6562 Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt reflection. Your words capture exactly why the 90s hold such a special place for so many of us. It wasn't just the technology, the shows, or the toys-it was how those things made us feel, how they connected us to the world and to each other in ways that feel almost magical when we look back. You're absolutely right-every generation has its own "golden era" and its own set of challenges, but for those of us who grew up in the 90s, it felt like a time of discovery, simplicity, and community, before everything sped up.
@@eternal.past1 Aww. You're most welcome. Thank you for uploading these videos! It's a nice bit of nostalgia; a comforting time to revisit. You're absolutely right in that it felt like such a simpler time. Wish we could get those days back.
I am from 89. I am so happy I lived the life before internet took it all. As some 2000s kids see this normal, I sense a lot of separation in families and friends. There is absolutely nothing like going out, sit on the streets, watch cars pass while you both talk breathing fresh air, watching the true colors of the world. Being at family parties or friends with easily over 50 people, everybody having so much fun. Definetly I am happy I lived through this for some years of my life.
I was born in 78. I was a teenager all through the 90s. I would love to go back. I miss my family and that safe feeling you have when your whole family is home at the end of the day. I have no one now.

I hope you are doing well. Please be safe.

The sadness that stems from missing my 90s childhood is balanced by knowing I am giving my own young children their own version right now. It's special in its own way, and I'll look back on it in 25 years with the same longing I look back on the 90s.
The 90's felt like the last gasp of true greatness in America. From the 50's through the 90's we had it made. Not to get too heavy but it feels like standing around in a party that ended and you're just waiting for a ride home. Not just in America but the world, things are getting bad.

Most of the houses in the video were built WAY before the 90's-more like the 1930's-1950's.
Not to mention grinding Goldeneye on the N64 :)
The year I was born. It really was the last decade where kids were just kids. No social media telling them they needed to be any different, playing in the street unsupervised until dark. Back when you didn't have someone's voice talking at you from a screen all the time.
Born in 67 - memories are vivid in the mid 70's onwards - as a kid I remember waking early Saturday mornings - quickly eating breakfast and without any real plans just go outside - meet friends, and the entire day was filled with adventures. We just did things and before you realized it - the sun was setting and that was you sign it was time to head back home. Looking at photo's of growing up it does dawn on you that during those times you never realize how good life was until later and you reflect back. Peace and Love to all - remember Proverbs 4:23 -
Was born in 93' October.
What I miss most:
Life before social media.
Life before widespread internet.
Windows 98' and Space Cadet Pinball.
Endless summers of childhood that seemingly lasted for years.
Anytime before 9/11.
Friday night Blockbuster rentals.
Damn, I even miss the smell of Blockbuster.
31 now.
Life before social media and widespread access to the Matrix seems.. happier, simpler, and far more relaxing.
Remember printing out mapquests?
Or even before that.. using an actual map.
I was only 6 when people partied like it was 1999....sadly.
Joined the USMC to fight in a war I grew up with.
And now, the world is losing its damn mind.
Nostalgia.
Wow, you are in the exact same boat as my younger brother, also born in October 93, also served in the USMC. Benjamin I hope this music fills you will some good nostalgia instead of a stink for the present. Maybe someday we could be nostalgic for something happening right now, if we fight like hell to keep our chins up. I was born in 90 and feel the same way about everything you just said. Blockbuster was just down the street from my old home, summers spent in our back yard, sparring with plastic lightsabers and playing Mariocart on the 64. It was a great time to be alive.
Couldn’t agree more. I didn’t realize then, just how good i really had it. Where’s a time machine when you need one.
Born in spring '87.
What I miss most about growing up in the 90's was how social we were just playing pretend and seeing that light, on the end of the street coming on and knowing when to go inside. Does anyone also miss how awesome it was renting a VHS (even DVDs when the came out) and console games? It was the Super Nintendo and getting the boys and girls together, at my house playing Street Fighter, Super Mario Kart, Killer Instinct and Mortal Kombats 1-3. Back when it was simpler to just knock on your friend's door ask if, they could come out to play and rallying everyone outside to just hang out. Throwing rocks at the wall, AT EACH OTHER and getting black eyes in the process, even just playing tackle football.
The advanced technology slowly began taking those childhood experiences away from children from today. It also took away our social skills to even walk up to say, "Hi, my name is ___. Nice to meet you. What do you like doing?". Our generation has our faults as with others but I feel we build so much character from it..... Nowadays, the best feature is how many followers you can have rather than how many friends you've truly gained, for life and beyond. We're also the ones trying to bring back things from generations prior to appreciate like music, value....... just little things. I don't expect everyone to agree but I wanted to share what I thought here. Cheers to everyone just trying to enjoy life right now because, I'm cheering for y'all too.
Because booyah! Y'all are the bomb, our shit's still phat today and as if anyone else thinks otherwise? They can fuckin' talk to the hand because our shit it tight!
basically life before 9-11 haha.
As someone born in the 80s, I agree with some of your takes, but there's some GREAT things going on now days
I was born 1993 in July. I always look at the pictures from the past. The smiles were real then. Now we don't take pictures because we don't see each other anymore.
90s was the last great decade.
It all turns into a blur after that.
I was born in 1964 and agree. After 1990s I don't remember many dates relating to anything other than horrible September 11th 2001. I have not heard a band on the radio since the 1990s that made me want to go out and buy their music. I can remember movies, music and much more from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. After Y2K not so much.
this could also be said of the early 2000s.... each generation is likely to realize this. it isn't so much a specific decade but rather being a child
It's wild for me, born in 82, to have had 18 years living in the greatest century, during the greatest decades. Then post 9/11 everything gets worse each year.
@@robbratcher4675 they tested the waters with blatant lying to our face on TV via Bill Clinton I did not inhale or have sexual relationships with Monica. Experimented but did not inhale, like he had a bunch of Bunsen burners in a test lab! And we have evidence of sexual relationships with Monica. Slick Willie.
@@auhsz9140
Perhaps it's more to do with increased corporatisation and plasticisation of the world.
everything felt so much more still. permanent. solid
It really did!!
yes
I was fourteen in 93. That entire decade was probably the best the world has ever witnessed.
It was simple, peaceful, and overall a prosperous decade. Completely different of what we have now. Even older people in their 80s now, said that the 90s was special
@@lovejetfuel4071I was born in the 80's the 90's were Hell.
1980's were FAR better.
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 hahaha nice one :D
Would be interested, what was hellish for you about the 90s?
facts
@@mywifesboyfriend5558 I'm from Kazakhstan. In the 90s, my country obtained its independence from the USSR. It was total darkness over here back then, nothing in the markets, crime everywhere. But I still miss the 90s, because emotionally I felt better then than now, when we have everything. Life after the smartphones has been insufferable. After COVID it's even worse. Introverts everywhere. Even myself who used to be an extravert have become an introvert. Sucks..
1993 I was homeschooled, till I got to 8th grade and went to one of the best public schools in the state of Rhode Island. I would come home as the street lamps went on, and Halloween was the best.
Born in 76. Do not lament that it is gone. Rejoice we were there and got to experience it.
Got anymore fridge magnet cliches?
@@Jason-eo1rh Yes- Everyone wants the new flashlight but no one wants to keep it that way.
Not all storms come to disrupt your life, some are there to clear your path.
21. Man, nostalgia is hitting me hard. Like i can feel it physically in my throat and the pit of my stomach. The visuals helped too. I can almost smell the crisp, clean, cool evening autumn air. That type of cool where you gotta put the hoodie on. Love the 90s and autumn, in any decade, and these videos.
21 as in ure 21? The 90s looked cool, but these comments are acting like the World drastically changed into a dump truck when many people complaining or acting nostalgic weren't even born then...or people barely older than me saying how they miss times before social media's when they barely experienced those...to each their own...but i didn't come here to read clearly exaggerated dramas. We made so much progress on equality and respect and it seems there are always more and more people to actively help the Planet and its animals, that's something that clearly wasn't so present (or as persistent) in earlier decades. Then ofc there are some nostalgic things, but nostalgia is there just so that you don't hate on your life. Like, I sometimes think about my childhood and get nostalgic but I act would never wish to "be a kid again", no independence and all...we just forget the bad things thinking all was perfect, but nothing changed that much. Not in bad, anyways. I'm a "old soul", and if someone misses the "old times" so bad they could simply live the way they did 🤷🏻♂️ im 19 and just bought a vintage city bike and wear loafers and listen to vinyls...which sound corny but just to say a few things that most people don't do anymore that i still live by. Just cause society "moves on" doesn't mean YOU, too, have to. But it is great the World is making progress in important things. It's about how you use and see them after all; like technology: it's helping and will help so many illnesses!
It all feels like a dream. Sometimes I'll see bits and pieces. Memories - but felt as if it never happened. When I was young I never thought this is how it would feel to remember the past.
same
It flew by, it feels like i was robbed at least 10 years lol.
Ahh I know what you mean…! As kids, we did things and never knowing it would be the last time we would ever be able to experience that again 🥲
You nailed it. Back then it felt like those days would never end…now it almost feels like they never happened.
wow exactly
I was 20 in October of '93 and remember that month well. I fell into limerence with some guy, worked a bad office job, and had some really good times. 🎸
Well done, I graduated HS in 02, I'm fortunate to still get together with several friends thatve grown up together. Last Saturday four of us got together around a fire table at the same place we did thirty years ago. Hope everyone out there has a great fall season this year 🎃🌛
wow
the very first picture is so accurate, like im seeing it for the first time yet it feels so personal, the fading sky, the bare trees, the houses and their windows... everything is so warm to my heart and sad as well. i swear nostalgia is my favourite feeling and the most weird feeling ever. i wasnt even born untill 2003 but i feel like i belong there in the 80s or 90s. thank you for creating this!!
@kilitauriel Thank you so much for sharing this! It's incredible how certain images or moments can evoke such strong emotions and memories, even from times we haven't personally lived through. Nostalgia really is a strange but beautiful feeling, isn't it? I'm so glad that the video resonated with you on such a personal level. It’s a reminder of how powerful the connection to the past can be, and I’m honored to have been able to create something that speaks to that. The 80s and 90s truly had a unique atmosphere, and it's amazing that you feel a sense of belonging to those eras. Thanks for watching and being part of this journey!
Everything felt so different then. I was a teenager in the 90s and I cannot imagine growing up in any other decade. There was something truly unique about living then. Even if you aren't a 90s kid, I humbly welcome you to the pack. :)
@@Areala21 thank you so much!! being a teenager in the 90s sounds so warm and exciting to me, like it was the best time to be a kid (tho in my country it was very tough, my older siblings hated it) but i still connect to this time and feel like it was the last time ever the world felt special, somehow unique just like you said, and very beautiful... now i just feel like society is empty and its crazy that people in the future will be nostalgic about our time just like we are nostalgic about previous decades...
I was 11 in 93. Good memories.
same
When they invent time travel,im going to go back to those times to feel the vibes and magic again.
I want to go back and time and see my grandparents alive and healthy 🥺❤️ 1993 was the perfect year for that. All 4 of my grandparents were well. Now they’ve all passed on 😭
I just turned 6 in the fall of 93 and maybe I am biased, but I was the perfect age to really enjoy the best of the 90s.
I was born on October of 1993 and this feels so nostalgic to me ✨
Started driving in 1993. Got my first real job with a bunch of other teens at an ice cream parlor in downtown Orlando. Met a girl that summer in Cocoa Beach and spent a lot of time hanging out with her there. My friends and I used to sneak into EPCOT through a back gate and go through the park for free.
I didn't realize it then, but thats what real freedom felt like.
Listening to Nirvana and playing Super Nintendo with my cousins. Good times
Wouldn’t replace my 90s experience for anything in the world .. playing with friends in the neighborhood, biking around like we were bosses, I feel so bad for those who didn’t get to experience youth like that. Life hands you a deck and says here play this see how you do.. and we all learn as we go. But deep down we’re all moved by similar things, it’s pretty cool
“Biking around like we were bosses” 100% - a kid growing up in 90s suburban D.C.
Biking around like we were bosses! I remember when 'mountainbikes' with gears were hot and new and I swopped my bmx for a mountainbike All the kids liked doing tricks and stunts and driving in the park or doing races and we would go out to other villages and on adventures
Those were really special times thats for sure.
1980 baby Here. If I could travel back in time I would travel to a time when I didn't know the world could be so painful.
To the feeling of home, in the world in general.
Family laughter, Tickles, Jokes, Board games, Mom's food, Cookie jars, Alf, Cabbage Patch kids,
Movies of the time still stand out maybe I'm partial though.
The way the air smelt after the rain, riding my bike with the pink and purple tassels from the neighbor's.
Racing to beat the streetlight, kissing mom on the cheek saying good night.
falling to sleep on car rides, getting carried inside by Dad while pretending to be sleep lol.
Mama & Papi are both gone now, and I'm so full of such gratitude for all the memories that sustain me,
Through what this world has unfortunately become.

Thank you!
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
bless u
I was just starting first grade in fall 1993. Brings back memories of Legos, riding my bike through the neighborhood, and soccer with my friends at school. No social media, cell phones were considered a luxury (you could only make calls with them), it was an innocent time.
Me too
Its dark, grey october and I'm sleeping to it.
90s child too.
Fall '93 was my freshman year of HS.. I was 15, It was so different.
It was a lot better. Things were starting to get degenerate though. Not nearly as bad as today but it was beginning to ramp up from the bs that was the 1960's and all of the boomer hedonism.
Fall of ‘93 was the first Fall I ever experienced 😊
Back to the simpler days. For me that would be in the 1970s but nostalgia. Thank you
Born in 79. Everyone says things were simpler…maybe? I think there was less information being thrown at you. It was still materialistic and heavy in that way but less so than now. It was quieter, that is what I think they are trying to convey. Less noise period. There were more quiet moments outside. Now we have to not only completely leave the city but our phones and internet behind for quiet.
:)thanks for sharing
First semester in college back in the Fall of 1993. Better world then, for sure. Who wants to build a time machine and go back?
the 90s themselves, a bridge between the analog past and the digital future. - that cuts deep
I would give everything I own to go back and relive the 90s again. I was 9 going on 10 in the fall of 93. Everything sucks now except the technology even that has its limitations.
That sounds like the music that would play on the radio while you were drifting off to sleep at the back of your mom's car and the evening sun would paint everything red and gold.
There was such a lush aura, in the 90s❗️💕💙💿🎧📼🚲
1993 what a great year. I was a child and everyone in my extended family was still alive and healthy - grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. I miss them so much 🙏❤️
:) I know
As a person alive in 1993; this was literally the music playing through the air even when you walked around. It was a great time
literally? i was 3 in the 90's....i didn't hear this at all. if anything, i heard the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana.
@@JimcyTide You were 3?? Sit down and shut up.
This was the time of day on a Friday when getting ready for the fun evening in which we missed the late, low light….
It’s now a perfect time of day…!
I feel very lucky to be the kid who grew up before social media.
The colors were so warm back then...
The reason the colors were "warm" is because you were seeing the world as God created it, instead of the illusions the vain minds of this world have manufactured.
yeah I am always wondering, were colors different, even indoors, was it tv's and chs footage and movies shit on film, or was the sun more yellow or is that just silly.... There is a different feel to color back then materials and fashion and interiors changed also and weather changed, much is different
I was born in 1990. Some of my earliest memories were around this time, and, at least in my personal experience, the reality is as good as the hype. It really was a great time to be a kid.
I was born 11/24/1990. It is a shame we cant capture this decade and enjoy what were the best moments in human history-as said by another commenter.
The last breath of the old world
No social media was awesome
It wasn't perfect; there were problems. There were really serious problems around the world back then -- just as it was in the distant past, as it is now, and as it shall be in the future. But even then.....
....the 90s were truly the greatest time to be alive and live as a kid.
93 baby lets go
Halloween in the 90's was unlinke anything! Take. Me. Back.
why is it so old looking- just 30 years ago .I was born december 93
We had it pretty good back in them days. Simple. Fun. Good times. We were lucky.
Imma cry listening to this. Love it, and can't wait to listen when I can handle the emotions!
Born October 21st, 1993. Have to say that before 2001, life was pretty idyllic.
Omg the video games were so good some of the best gaming history!
Хоть я и не из Америки,но чувство о котором пишут тут люди мне знакомо.Очень точно подобран мотив и декорация.Спасибо!
Today can be special too if you use your imagination.
showing a room full of toys and gear from 1993 would be much more nostalgic.
При прослушивании и просмотре видео сразу думаешь о чем то уютном, семейном, душевном. И о той жизни, которой не жил.
Thank you. Born in early 80's In the 80s we had radio signal tv/antenna tv and only 3 channels. Then we moved and had maybe 40 channels cable tv and later a vhs and we rented movies weekly. We lived outdoors all the time, free, adventures, good friendships. People were not ever politically obsessed as far as I noticed, nothing like it, just different flavors in music and sports and fav tv shows and movie. Romance was different. LOL Who remembers Top Gun, all the martial arts and action movies, the old comedies on vhs, tvs and pc's had a 3d shape. I remember not watching it every time but Home Alone being on tv around Christmas etc Christmas was different more family oriented and cozy. Looking up to Role models and popstars. Of course Michael Jackson etc my buddies had gameconsoles and we had pc games. I had bmx bike and later mountainbike with gears :) I remember electric keyboards were new :)
The thumbnail looks more like Fall 1939 than 1993. But nice video.
I love this music, I only wish there were more pictures. These images are excellent!
in some places of the world, we dont even have cool winters or autumns anymore... the temperature is as if it is the same all the time, everywhere and it is too hot. No more crisp afternoons, almost
yes true in my country there is a famous ice marathon and the last time was in the 90's nobody back then would ever have thought that for decades it would not exist anymore, it was part of our national culture, bringing so many people together LOL out in the cold eating hot soup and wearing funny hats. There were songs and video clips about it. It is like it is wiped thanks for remembering
Keep believing that things will improve! Have hope! I miss family at home too. I love you all and am sending you peace.
25:26 I could just listen to this on repeat while I work
… Looking back at sunsets on the East Side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Something's slide by so carelessly
… Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
… And someone is calling my name (from the back of the restaurant)
And someone is playing a game (in the house that I grew up in)
And someone will drive her around down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
-The Killers, Smile Like You Mean It
Anyone who enjoys this, you should check out the movie Super Dark Times! Especially the first few minutes. Similar vibes, set at about the same time.
This is depressing as shit but here I am, eyes glued, reminiscing, in my truck, in the gym parking lot.
wow, ok this is so cool. thank you
Thank you too!
born in the spring of 1993, wouldnt change it for the world
I love how specific this is. So accurate tho
1993 that's 4 years before I was born ,I was born in November 97' I wish I was able to experience the 90s more but I'm glad I was at least there for 2 years
Спасибо вам за такую красивую подборку музыки! С любовью из России ❤
спасибо за привязанность
Probably one of the best periods of my life, from ‘93 to ‘99.
8 years old miss those summers
in 1993 , I was 9 y.o. good old times 😔
I was 21 then and transferred colleges, lost my grandfather that year, too.
amazing nostalgia
I was born in 1999 (not in USA). I've never experienced the 90s, but somehow that time feels like home. When I'm listening to the this kind of playlists or looking at the photos from back then, a huge wave of nostalgia washes over me. I don't know why
I went from 10 to 20 through the 90's in the USA. I can tell you that it was the greatest time ever. There was peace, there was prosperity, society felt cohesive and strong. It was remarkable, and it's vanished. We still have many aspects today, but the surety and calm is completely gone, or maybe I'm just older now.
@@anonosaurus4517 oh, i wish i could experienced that. Thank you for your reply 💖
Maybe you lived through that time in another life and came back in 1999 as another person ....just a thought. That would explain why you feel so connected to the 90's.

You little Gen Zers are plain crazy by naming every single thing "crazy".. 😬😑
@@radioVHS149 ...I'm a _millennial,_ dude. Gen Z didn't start until *1996.* Simple math and even glancing at the title of the video would have allowed you to deduce that. And the word "crazy" has both existed and been used to describe things _long_ before Gen Z was around.
Born the same ! 1991
Now that people are nostalgicizing a time I grew up in, I have to say, when I was alive in 1993, I had absolutely no idea the 90s were this cool. There was an inkling but, I mean nobody told me. I remembered it as a time of real stagnation, and suffering, and despair we could not have the cultural greatness for previous generations.
It's kinda bizarre for me to look back and appreciate the 90s the way I do now, in 2024 when the world feels like it's on fire. Being American, it certainly felt like we were all treating eachother like siblings. We disagreed on a lot of things but we knew human decency. We respected our differences, even if we disagreed. I hope that somehow... we not only go back to that sense of safety and respect, but that we learn from our mistakes now so that our future can feel bright again.
I was 12 in Fall 1993. I most likely wore a homemade costume of some sort! I have a vague memory of wearing all black and putting on cat ears and a tail and being a cat! It was a different time, an age of innocence and simple pleasures. Now I have a 12 year old daughter who is better at technology than me, already outgrew dressing up for Halloween and knows way more about the world and life than I did at her age! 😂
I REMEMBER REAGAN and CARTER. WE HAD SANE PRESIDENTS THAT LOVED AMERICA BACK THEN. We had a border then, and a war on drugs.
😂. This is about being nostalgic not delusional. Carter was an ineffective one-term president and Reagan laid the foundation for the destruction of the middle class. The war on drugs created the cartels and didn't stop the drugs. And the border is has literally been there since someone drew it on a map.
Think of all the kids who don't get to grow up in such nice homes, or the kids that don't have a home at all. Donate to your local homeless shelters or children's support organizations.
Nice sounds! Subscribed! 😄
Thanks!
This reminds of some show that ran very late at night in 93. I am not sure if it was local or not but was about star signs or astrology. It sounded very familiar to this.
Was it Stargazers? It was a late night show about astronomy that ran in the 90s.

Man.... It's so bittersweet reading everyone's experiences here. I was born in 1989. Just missed the 80s, but got to experience every joy and pleasure of growing up a 90s kid.
I think most people have a hard time taking off their rose-colored glasses when they turn their heads 'round to look back on the past -- to each person, their decade(s), their childhood, was the "best" era. For my parents, it was the 50s and 60s. For a friend, it was the 70s. For others I've met, the 80s were undeniably the best time to be alive. And to us, it was the 90s. In reality, the 90s had its own set of issues, just like any other time period, but there is one major thing that separates the pre-2000s/pre-2010s from every other era, and that is the rapid advancement of technology. For those of us who grew up in the 90s and early 2000s, the internet was akin to "the final frontier", short of only space itself (and, perhaps, the deepest depths of the ocean). In its early stages there was still a great sense of community, exploration, mysticism, and creativity. I do feel like that has been lost to some degree, and that our seemingly endless quest to advance technologically has come with its own set of set-*backs*. I still believe in that Star Trek future, but I will admit that it's hard to see in regards to how and why we are using the tools at our disposal. But I digress. There is always a silver lining. There will always be good uses for things as well as bad.
Regardless of what decade you were born in, the 90s will always have a special place in the hearts of the people that grew up in it, just as the 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, and others will have significance for their people. I'll never forget what made it memorable for me. Floppy discs and Soleau Software Games. Bikes with streamers and hanging with the neighborhood kids "smoking' candy cigarettes in the front yard. Eyes glued to the little box tv set, watching Jurassic Park for the first time. Sitting for an hour by the cheap radio waiting for my favorite tune to play on Radio Disney. Lying on the living room carpet with my sister and counting how many fun shapes we could find in the popcorn ceiling. Running home so I could catch the latest episode of Ducktales or an Animal Planet tv special. Dressing up as Steve Irwin for Halloween. Reenacting Disneyland's Electrical Parade. Staying up past my bedtime singing Land Before Time songs with my sister. Feeling my sweaty hands slip across the keyboard trying to beat a level of Croc. Going to WB with my dad. Waiting in line to "ride" Arctic Thunder at Chuck E. Cheese 'cause it was the only game that had a fan. And so many other amazing memories.
I miss the 90s dearly, not solely because of everything that happened in it, but because of how it made me feel. It made me feel warm, and connected, and in a place of belonging, and I miss that feeling....
@plutonis6562 Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt reflection. Your words capture exactly why the 90s hold such a special place for so many of us. It wasn't just the technology, the shows, or the toys-it was how those things made us feel, how they connected us to the world and to each other in ways that feel almost magical when we look back. You're absolutely right-every generation has its own "golden era" and its own set of challenges, but for those of us who grew up in the 90s, it felt like a time of discovery, simplicity, and community, before everything sped up.
@@eternal.past1 Aww. You're most welcome. Thank you for uploading these videos! It's a nice bit of nostalgia; a comforting time to revisit. You're absolutely right in that it felt like such a simpler time. Wish we could get those days back.
