Is it that the 90s were the best or nostalgia from people who grew up in the 90s? People have nostalgia from when the grew up because it was the world they were used to and they were experiencing it as young adult.
Do people from older generations think the 90s were the best? Do people from younger generations think 90s was great when told about it?
- Apocryphon 4y agoIt is truly both. Like I said, with the aging up of the millennials, get ready for a lot of 90s nostalgia not unlike when boomers drove the swing revival of the '90s. Cyclical cultural trends based on generation. But at the same time, the '90s do seem rather exceptional as a time in between conflicts- the Cold War, which in some ways is an outgrowth of the end of WWII, itself an outgrowth of WWI, was over. The anxieties of living in a post-bipolar world, of dealing with dangerous non-state actors or multipolar rivals to the American order, had not formalized yet. If anything, most of the world seemed to be getting along under the capitalist liberal democratic framework that Fukuyama called the End of History. So from a security standpoint it certainly seemed peaceful.

But the 90's were special. I personally have a time travel rule that I wouldn't want to live before penicillin, vaccines, and novocaine. That really doesn't leave much of human history. But the 90's in the US and Western Europe were nice.
