Default What do you miss from the 90's?

It seems like a bunch of us grew up in the 90s. Well i was born in 86 but as far as things that i can remember its mainly been the 90s are the best so far.

the music, the way people are (no cell phones and no internet). I was able to play with my friends outside in the street with no worries untill 9-10pm. $4 can buy you a whole meal from Whataburger (me and my cuz saved all week for saturday Whataburger!) GAS WAS CHEAP, less than $1/gal even though i didnt pay for anything....

and most of all, the CARTOONS! I swear i was in middle school still watching Nickelodeon and SNICK. Now kids in middle school are going to jail for murder and other bull. These were the best toons out....

What do I miss from the 90's?

My hair.

But seriously, my wife and I were married in '87 and our son was born in '93 so the '90s for me was mostly about being a young family starting out and raising a child. He's 15 now so I guess what I miss the most is his childhood. It was also pretty cool to be part of the whole internet explosion. Yes, I know that the internet exsisted in the 80's, but most average households didn't have it. I will always remember my first real PC. It was a Gateway2000 that cost me about $2,000. It ran Windows 3.1 and I paid big money to upgrade to 8MB of RAM!! My first exposure to email was a free Juno account and each email came with advertisements. LOL

I remember getting a computer and having no guarantee that it would even work when you took it out of the box.

My dad and I got a PC from CompUSA (it was a Compudyne, haha) we hooked it all up and turned it on and the whole thing was in German.

I remember getting the beta for Windows 95 and thinking "this sucks, it'll never last. Windows 3.11 is where it's at!

I remember SimCity. I remember dial-up. I started high school in 97, so I remember that.

The first CD I got with my own money was Smashing Pumpkins - Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness.

i might be slightly young for this thread but i do remember a lot of the cartoons you listed.. rocko was awesome and ren & stimpy was insane. good times

i remember playing warcraft 2 for free through AOL.. i remember my whole class shared a single starcraft CD and only played single player..

and speaking of computers, i remember when my dad upgraded all the computers at work to windows 95 from windows 3.1 and everyone was blown away by the upgraded graphics.

I read the title, and the first thing that popped into my head, was this entire list.
