I don't think the 90s were any simpler, but I do miss some things. Popular music was IMHO objectively better even in a pure composition sense and was much more interesting. I also miss 90s cyberculture. There was a more genuine ethos of inventing and exploring and people would never have tolerated today's lockdown and surveillance stuff. I'm amazed at how the mobile revolution boiled that frog.
