I don't know man, the 90s were lit. I could do dope shit with my homies with absolutely no worries about videos or pictures. Gas was .89 a gallon, and I had a car that did wicked burnouts. You could smoke in the mall and we all wore giant pants you could fit a 40 in the pockets. Life was grand lol.

TIL the 80's only had white people.
That is not true. The 80's needed black people for the jive.
Jheri curls and boomboxes are back baby! That's the primary black contribution according to revisionists.
Shiiit, I would kill to have back my old Magnavox ghetto blaster with Bluetooth connectivity.

Erase & Rewind: The Politics of Nostalgia & its Ethical Implications
By politicizing nostalgia, politicians sow seeds of fantasy among their citizens—visions that may never reach the hoped-for fruition.
A conventional starting point is the derivation of the English word “nostalgia” from Greek words nos-tos meaning “return” and algos “pain.” Viewed in the modern-day context, it becomes a metaphorical “longing for a home that no longer exists” or, worse yet, one that never even existed. Sociologists Georg Stauth and Bryan S. Turner, in their work Nietzsche’s Dance, define nostalgia as a longing for a “golden age of heroic virtue, moral coherence, and ethical certainty—a time when there was no disparity between virtue and action, words and reality, or function and being.” The acute danger of this sentiment is that it can confuse and conflate one’s actual home with an imaginary one, thus creating a phantom of a past.
