I have 0 recollection of it.
I spent my teen years in the 90s. Best time of my life.
The 90’s were the Haldol years for me, a very bad time in my life.
Except for all the grunge that came out musically, almost all my 90’s were spent being prodromal and finally getting full blown sick in 1997.
I was 6-15 years old, probably the best time of my life, with a few exceptions! Nice music from this era too. Sash, Robert Miles, Phil Collins etc It was the good old days before my illness started coming. 1999 was one of the best years of my life, I was in High School and an avid amateur astronomer.
I enjoyed Grunge music - Nirvana, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden etc… and I remember that I was very sick - delusional as Hell
Yeah…
post-war No Man’s Land.
UN
UNHCR
MTV
but i was just like toddler.
Super Nintendo and Jurassic park. Then we all got the Internet.
Studied for my master in literature. Traveled a lot. Lived with friends, and in Madrid for a year. Life was good.
Life was good. That was the first decade of my life. Pet turtles and cats and dogs and ducks and fish. Paper mâché volcanos. Model trains. Fishing, walking in the woods. Not a care in the world aside from being angry my parents were waking me up and putting me to bed every day.
Had a bit of a quick descent into schizophrenia, tried to recover
I was 16 - 26,
I think the 90s was one of the best decades for music (particularly R&B) and TV shows. I can remember listening to Pop and R&B radio and watching Power Rangers after school.
Economically it was a time of great prosperity for the U.S. Not only did Clinton erase the deficit but he actually left office with a huge surplus. It was a technological boom for the electronics and computer industry. And this was particularly true for the area I live in which is Silicone Valley in California. New technology companies were opening all the time called start-ups. Millionaires were being made every day.
Personally the 90’s were my most productive years. I had a few long term jobs and I returned to college. I got clean and sober in1990 in AA and my first five years I was catching the bus to 5 or 6 meetings per week. I walked all over and took weightlifting classes and I had a VERY physical job and I was in the greatest shape of my adult life. I also lost a few pounds and I looked good (to me anyway, lol).
I also got my second girlfriend and saw her a lot though she moved to a different city. In 1995 I started living independently and I have lived on my own ever since. I also got a car in 1997 after 7 years without one. I was social in AA, CA, and NA and I made a friend and we did a lot of fun stuff. I ended up knowing him for 7 years. At the end of the nineties I had my best job ever, I was a Park Ranger for two years. It was a lot of responsibility.
So yeah, I am going to use all the knowledge I gained back then to get my life back on track again and start doing more now.
at the time I thought it was really cool now I look at it very much like the 80s lmao.
I was depressed during the 90’s. Started drinking heavily in 1994. I remember Nirvana, Stone temple pilots, Soundgarden, Alice in chains, Faith no more. I had colored hair. Only one in my school. Dressed in Grunge clothing and hair cut. Had really long hair, to my butt, and cut it short. Mom almost fainted. A friend cut my hair and dyed it green.
I tried SI twice and failed. Started working, moved to another town. Started over. Met my husband to be. Got out of my depression at the end of the 90’s.
I got my first cell phone in 1996. A Nokia. Expensive as hell to call from it.
The 90’s went by pretty fast for me.
A trial period I think.
I was taking pottery and painting classes in the park system. Daisy, my cat was still alive during the first half. Looking to nature - my parents back yard was a haven for wild animals crowed out of their territory by the housing boom.
But of a depressing decade
Didn’t seem to have so much of its own character, life just became modern, hasn’t changed a lot since
Not so much defining characteristics like 60’s 70’s 80’s
Clothing was revival 70’s or etc flares were in for a while
Sounds like where I live.
Back home we see some moose’ and foxes, rabbits rarely.
But I’ve seen herds of deer passing through the front yard and they look at me like “what are you doing here?”
I can’t blame them for the animosity.
It was a time of prosperity and indulgence
My indulgence was on the psychological side
