What makes the 90's great is that, there was enough technology, people still knew how to live life, embracing the moments. I guess the generation that lived during the 90's were the luckiest of all humankind. A peaceful time to live in.
Every country has a sort of golden per-technology era. For us Argentinians, it was around 2006 to 2015. As a poorer country, we had delays when catching up to technology, so, for instance, the Internet was just starting to become a household commodity, smartphones and tablets were nowhere to be seen (aside BlackBerries), music was still played on CDs and some pirating websites were starting to pop up, the PS2 was still the go-to console, and there was SOME economical stability (after the 2001 Argentinian economic crash, and before it plummeted again).
@ALF Raydough of course this video in December 1993 catches the Twin Towers reflecting on a horrible and scary year, to be totally eclipsed 8 and a half years later
I lived in Manhattan for about 5 years starting in 1989. The scenery shown in your video reminds me of those days. Your video of the World Trade Center is precious. I am also making a documentary about New York City in the early 90's, so I found your video very interesting.
Bro I fuck swear you'll had it going on back in the day! December 8th 1993 bro....DECEMBER 8th!!!! Midnight Marauders and 36 Chambers released a month before then bro!!! And you were 22 back then smfh...soooo lucky you were. Id kill to be the age I am now during the fall/winter of 93 (20 years old). How were the women, did you get up in a lot of them back then and how life as you went through it everyday?
+DaOldSchoolRapLova96 Well I grew up in Hawai'i but loved the Hip Hop music scene, Always kept up with it. That's when MTV was MTV and they would actually play music videos. Yo MTV Raps. But from the late 80s to the early 90s was the shit. Remember Das Exf?.."Bumstiggity, Bumstiggity bum..a rum pa pum pum"
+Ruff Riders hell Yey j know Das Efx! But damn so u didn't grow up in NYC then? At least u saw a lot of what was goin on back in the day that's for sure b!
@@DragonPupEclipse Innovation was much better in the 90s. Today we mostly have updated versions of what the 90s already had. Cellphones, PCs, laptops, game consoles, CDs etc. Even touch screens were a thing in the 90s, the forerunner of the smartphone.
I really love watching videos when the WTC still existed. There's never going to be a pair of buildings like that, with so much elegance and distinction.
I use to dream of visiting New York city and going to the top of the WTC but ever since that fateful day it just isn't the same feeling of wanting to go anymore 😔! It's nice to see these videos of the city back when everything seemed so normal and the Twins Dominated the skyline
This is amazing. I love how everybody is looking up enjoying life while they walk instead of being addicted and having fun on smartphones, those 1986-1990 and 1991-1996 Chevrolet Caprice cabs were driving around the streets, and best of all, the Twin Towers were still standing.
I was 17 in 93 and it seemed so long ago . There was a sense of privacy, if people wanted to get in contact with you they would beep you. Just a different vibe, great times!
I’m watching this now in 2019, I first came here in nyc in 1994, I was 23 then, just starting off my life as a new immigrant in nyc,used to go to the World Trade Center, there was a lot of shops on the basement section, those were good times!
I am awe struck, this was the golden era, no social media, the only technological advance was the (sony Walkman), the cell phone was about the size of a ham radio, and the most important sight was The World Trade Center, it was an awesome sight in the NYC scenery!
9/11 made such an impression on me because I agree with you, I’d grown up with the twin towers as being THE symbol of New York. The first time I can clearly remember approaching New York was on the Amtrak train from Boston arriving in the evening, the sun was going down and the Twins were silhouetted against the setting sun. Made me realise we were almost there. So sad that they’re gone forever and that that time has gone.
The death of optimism. Remember when everything was about progress and moving forward? I can't either. My generation has existed with nothing but regression. Nothing to look forward to in the world. Nothing but negativity. Fuck my generation
@Ryan Knox Since my original comment nearly 6 months ago, I fully agree it's all getting worse to unthinkable, got this worsening pandemic, economic collapse is pretty much imminent and now most of our major cities are on the road to resembling Beirut in 1975. Yea it really took a 180 since that 'foolishly optimistic' comment I left back in January!
Wish I could've been born earlier and experience nyc around this time period. It looks so calm and peaceful and especially with the World Trade Center being there
Christopher Trujillo It was incredible!!! I wouldn’t trade the experience of being here during that time for anything...it was the best time/best place on earth!! 🙌🏾
@Regan MacBannon Mason Trump bragged about having the tallest building in lower Manhattan on the same day the towers fell. You're worshipping a narcissistic, evil man. Trump's quote on 9/11: "I mean, 40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually before the World Trade Center the tallest, and then when they built the World Trade Center it became known as the second-tallest, and now it's the tallest,"
@Regan MacBannon Mason Donald is a pathological liar, so I don't trust any of his stories. I've never read anything about him offering to pay for reconstruction. He didn't even own that land, so that would be a ridiculous offer in the first place. I'm sure he lied about that as well. The land was owned by Larry Silverstein, who wanted to rebuild right away and had the money to do so himself, although there was a long battle over the insurance claim for the two buildings. Silverstein wanted a double payout, one for each tower. The insurance company fought for one payout. I believe Silverstein ended up winning that battle. The other reason for delay in rebuilding on that site was the understandable backlash from the victims' families. They consider it sacred ground, as that is where their loved ones died tragically. Compromises were eventually made and now we have One World Trade and the 9/11 Memorial on the site today.
I was 22 years old when this vid was taken, took the written test for the FDNY, was super fit training for the physical test (could do 40 pull ups with some cheating lol) and run up 6 flight of stairs with 70 lbs on my shoulder and not be out of breath(I invented CrossFit before it officially became something haha)...got called finally in 1998 for the job but by then kinda gave up on the dream but landed a job making 6 figures at one of the television broadcast companies in midtown and having the time of my life meeting the women of nyc...I almost ponder once a week if I would have taken the job if I would be one of the 345 firemen that gave it all on 9/11...God bless, you were all hero’s and I will certainly never forget...Support your local fire/police dept, They need it more than ever.

What a perfect video. I cannot thank you enough for that. Damn, i miss those twin towers so much, even though i'm from Germany. The World Trade Center did fit so perfectly in the skyline. They were so beautiful and huge.
Oligampla I don’t agree on them fitting into the skyline but that’s what made them so beautiful to me: they stood out and did not just blend in with the rest of the city. That’s why I love them so much
@@mariusberger3297 they stood out, in a beautiful NY style and unique way. One WTC however doesn't imo. It stands out as well, but not in the lovely way the twin towers did.
So sad. 25 years is a tiny amount of time in a nation's lifespan. Look at the shocking difference between the people there in 1993 and what you see today. It is tragic to see how quickly, and how decisively, things have declined.
i was a infant 8 months old here wow holy throwback i wish i was old enough to enjoy the 90's seems more simple times less issues people seemed way more happier

Starting around the 8:00 mark, that was really different, seeing the World Trade Center framed between other buildings. I liked that. My parents took us on the Circle Line tour, back in the 70s. We also went up inside the Statue of Liberty. I enjoyed seeing the New York Hospital from the river. That's where I was born. Very interesting video.
This is awesome! I was wondering if you muted some of the background sounds - it sounds different in some parts. This is just a great walk down memory lane! At 8:03 or so, the shots of the Towers is just heartbreaking and beautiful. A truly loving tribute to the beauty of NY! Thanks for this!
Growing up in New York I remember when someone put a bomb in the wtc parking garage in February 26th 1993 it was crazy they tried to take the The towers down but failed 6 people died 1000 were injured it was just awful
Thank you for the memories.The twin towers,what magnificent buildings,bless the victims of 9/11,those buildings are gone now.Neon cigarette advertisements in Times Square,gone now.The old (or as I like to say the REAL ) Yankee Stadium,gone now also.Much has changed in 25 years,and not all of it good.Thanks for posting.
Good Olde 1993. Life was day-to-day routine for me, simplicity at its finest. As the song goes "If I could turn back time", I would do it in an instant.
im sorry but please stop bringing up 9/11 the video has nothing to do with it it has the buildings but nowhere in the video does it talk about 9/11 or 1993 bombing ok?
Wat een geweldige beelden van het New York uit de jaren 90'. Bijzondere beelden van onder meer de Joe Camel campagne die destijds nogal controversieel was. Het shot van 11:20 met de Manhattan Bridge en daarachter het voormalig World Trade Center is echt fenomenaal. Hartelijk dank voor het uploaden van deze video.
Growing up in Brooklyn seeing the Twin Towers was always amazing. Its like anywhere in the 5 Boroughs you can see it. I visited the WTC and went to a game at the (original) Yankee Stadium in May 96' thru a student exchange program from my JHS. Sad to see both gone now but never forgotten! I love NY!

Not sure if anyone else has commented about it yet, but you notice the buzzing in the camera's audio when they are at the top is due to interference in the signal from the antenna on the north tower.
Was gonna say the same, but glad I looked first. Great video otherwise. I was a kid walking around town with my family in the winter of ‘93, I wonder if you were on the island at the same time.
There's is a difference when u experience it yourself compare to when u watch it on youtube or tv,i remember those days,HAPPY TIMES with family, and friends,just GOOD tv show ,commercial and music of course and less bizarre incident i think
The twins were PERFECT for New York. Their style complemented the skyline perfectly. They were tailor made for this town. The new building could be from any shithole chinese city nobody's ever heard of

The land was owned by Larry Silverstein, who wanted to rebuild right away and had the money to do so himself, although there was a long battle over the insurance claim for the two buildings. Silverstein wanted a double payout, one for each tower. The insurance company fought for one payout. I believe Silverstein ended up winning that battle. The other reason for delay in rebuilding on that site was the understandable backlash from the victims' families. They consider it sacred ground, as that is where their loved ones died tragically. Compromises were eventually made and now we have One World Trade and the 9/11 Memorial on the site today.

We also went up inside the Statue of Liberty. I enjoyed seeing the New York Hospital from the river. That's where I was born. Very interesting video.
I turned 27 in Dec 1993 , I used to go to NYC alot then ,I used to take the train from Hicksville, now I live in Marietta Ga since 2009.
I call BS. Post proof
Born in 93 and now I’m 27.. time flies
This is awesome! I was wondering if you muted some of the background sounds - it sounds different in some parts. This is just a great walk down memory lane! At 8:03 or so, the shots of the Towers is just heartbreaking and beautiful. A truly loving tribute to the beauty of NY! Thanks for this!
I feel like these videos are so chill. I find it really easy to relax to these, when I watch these.
Lovely video!
Growing up in New York I remember when someone put a bomb in the wtc parking garage in February 26th 1993 it was crazy they tried to take the The towers down but failed 6 people died 1000 were injured it was just awful
Lawwd knows I miss my era 80’s baby in here
My mom was very young at that time,and i was a new born baby at that time,and now i'm a 29 yr old guy almost 30,time passes by so quickly
Thank you for the memories.The twin towers,what magnificent buildings,bless the victims of 9/11,those buildings are gone now.Neon cigarette advertisements in Times Square,gone now.The old (or as I like to say the REAL ) Yankee Stadium,gone now also.Much has changed in 25 years,and not all of it good.Thanks for posting.
before social media destroyed the country
Good Olde 1993. Life was day-to-day routine for me, simplicity at its finest.
As the song goes "If I could turn back time", I would do it in an instant.
Mooi ge edit en goeie kwaliteit ook! Jammer dat NY niet meer hetzelfde is zonder het WTC.
What's crazy is that this was only 8 years before 9/11, meanwhile 9/11 happened over twice that long ago 😳
And only 10 months after the first WTC bombing
Yeah and the first bombing attempt
im sorry but please stop bringing up 9/11 the video has nothing to do with it it has the buildings but nowhere in the video does it talk about 9/11 or 1993 bombing ok?
Wat een geweldige beelden van het New York uit de jaren 90'. Bijzondere beelden van onder meer de Joe Camel campagne die destijds nogal controversieel was. Het shot van 11:20 met de Manhattan Bridge en daarachter het voormalig World Trade Center is echt fenomenaal. Hartelijk dank voor het uploaden van deze video.
I miss these days when I was a kid. The Super Nintendo, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and doing homework from school!
I think only older people in there 40s & up will realize how much freedom we have lost in the last 30 years or so
I agree. We've lost so much freedom, especially since 9/11.
This is so relaxing im watching this at midnight
i was 22 years old living in queens
Lucky bastard
Growing up in Brooklyn seeing the Twin Towers was always amazing. Its like anywhere in the 5 Boroughs you can see it. I visited the WTC and went to a game at the (original) Yankee Stadium in May 96' thru a student exchange program from my JHS. Sad to see both gone now but never forgotten! I love NY!
I call BS. Post proof
@@joeambrose3260 It’s not BS. You can see The World Trade Center from Damn near anywhere in NYC (This applies to both The Twin Towers and The One World Trade Center) I can see The One World Trade Center from a Bus Stop in Brooklyn🚏
@@Wrestling316 Please post positive proof pronto, pics preferred
@@joeambrose3260 Alright. Next time I’m at the Bus Stop I’ll post The view of The One World Trade Center. But do you even live in NY/NYC or you just love arguments?
@@Wrestling316 57 yrs. Never saw the WTC from my window nor gave a rats' fanny about it. Many called it an eyesore. You gotta problem with that ?
I miss them good days I just entered high school that year & I’m from New York & that’s how I remember it school trips & all and it was gang crazy like it is now.
Not sure if anyone else has commented about it yet, but you notice the buzzing in the camera's audio when they are at the top is due to interference in the signal from the antenna on the north tower.
The south tower entrance was so beautiful.
Damn I was born just two weeks ( five or take ) before this video. Nov 22 93. It’s crazy how fast time goes and how quickly everything changes
I wasn't born yet on that year, but I was born in April 2001 after 5 months later it hit the WTC. 😥😥
Love your video and love The World Trade Center!
At 11:30 that is not the Williamsburg Bridge, that's actually the Manhattan Bridge. Besides that, great footage. I was 3 in '93.
Thanks for your correction, Charles !
Yea I knew the towers looked waaaay too close to the bridge for it to be Williamsburg.
U looks very old
Was gonna say the same, but glad I looked first. Great video otherwise. I was a kid walking around town with my family in the winter of ‘93, I wonder if you were on the island at the same time.
The skyline is amazing.
There's is a difference when u experience it yourself compare to when u watch it on youtube or tv,i remember those days,HAPPY TIMES with family, and friends,just GOOD tv show ,commercial and music of course and less bizarre incident i think
I really miss the WTC. I know it wouldn’t have been practical, but I wish the Twin Towers were put right back the way they were after 9/11.
The city of New York should have rebuilt the original trade center back up. The new one looks unrealistic.
Trump will build them so many will come
I agree, just to tell the b@st@rds they weren't successful tearing them down. And they were beautiful and iconic. They WERE New York.
The old towers were old fashioned and unsustainable, the UN wanted something more futuristic and energy efficient so they build these sad buildings.
@@Rolaciss12 I like The New One World Trade Center
Early 90’s was the time for great house music. The clubs were amazing.
AS A KID, I VIVIDLY REMEMBER THE SOUTH TOWER COLLAPSE. RIP TO THE VICTIMS
I was 9 month old baby 😩now I’m almost 26 with my own kids !! wow time flies
I was 5, now I'm 30.
No kids ;-)
I was 97, you do the math
The twins were PERFECT for New York. Their style complemented the skyline perfectly. They were tailor made for this town.
The new building could be from any shithole chinese city nobody's ever heard of
Hahahaha You right
26 years later and those same D and 6 trains are still in use
La verdad que más pasan los años, más recuerdos atraen aquellas inolvidables y preciosas Torres ❤🇺🇸 se extrañan y se extrañaran eternamente, de la forma en que fueron esfumadas con miles de inocentes, es algo para no olvidar jamás jamás Dios mio. Siento aquel lugar de MANHATTAN tanto como si fuera nacida ahí🙏💫✨💔❤💌
5:00 what building is this ? The one with the very slant roofline , truncated top white building.
It's Citigroup Center. Really stands out thanks to the unusual roof
Well captured ,thanks for sharing ...
Im born on 1993 and i think new york better than today
The towers were so damn amazing.
