Every boy and his Keyblade seems to think that the 90's were and are the best decade that has ever occurred  It had the best toys, best gaming systems, best music, best songs, best movies, best everything. 

 

But I hate or well hated the 90's. I had a crappy childhood so it was one of the worst times of my life. I wish that I could look at a Yo-Yo and say "Yeah, that time was great " but it wasn't for me. This may sound selfish and rude, but it's hard to look at a toy or movie and just rub out  everything bad that happened. The Spice Girls and the Backstreet Boys making number one hits doesn't remove the fact that my Father was terrible to me and my older brothers while growing up. It's stupid to look at something and just remove everything personal. 

 

When I started coming online and started seeing this the 90's were the best decade craze I was shocked and well jealous, because I never felt like that at all. I wish that I was that rich kid that saw every Disney Movie during it's Resistance, had every good toy, every good music CD and Tape, and all the good VHS movies. But I didn't. Instead I got Teachers that bullied me at school and a douche for a Father and grew up in a poor house that was leaking and most likely wouldn't hold up today, they would most likely remove it for being unsafe and unhealthy for children.

 

The 90's were hell for me personally and I feel like I'm the only one that feels that way, that grew up during that time and had a rough time. Everybody else can just look at the old toys and just cry out in good memories and then just stroll away like everything was cool. It feels unfair and silly to base a time period on toys and TV shows when you could of had a rough time just overall. The best decade, should be what was the greatest time for you in general. And it does feel like everybody else did have the greatest time in general. It would be fantastic, to just listen to a old tape and wish that you could to return to this so-called Golden time, when everything was great an better.

 

To be honest I feel like the 00's were better, only because I found the Final Fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts. I moved in with my Mum and away from my douchey Dad. And I met the greatest friends on the earth. They were great, not because of the music or games well not really, but because everything felt better and just went better and it felt like the I was meant to be born and enjoy life for once. Teachers were still being nasty and mean, but I was old enough to deal with it and not care and just could move on.

 

It would be nice to look at a old childhood cartoon and ignore the fact that my Dad tried to break my Older Brother's arm. 

 

Sorry if this was a silly vent.

90's or not, not everyone has a good or bad childhood. Doesn't matter when it took place.

 

and yeah, I understand what you meant.

 

You just wish you could've had experience your childhood better to have a good one and I'm sorry you had to experience that.

 

Just be sure to learn your own lesson by then and be a good parent when you have a child on your own.

 

At least you are now living a better life, so cherish and appreciate it.

I love the 90's.

 

And not just because the North Melbourne Kangaroos were The Team of the Nineties.

I actually loved the 90's, probably for the very opposite you described.  I have only fond memories of my childhood, which, yes, is brought back up through memories of old cartoons, films and music during that time era.  It wasn't until about 2001 that my life took a drastic turn from paradise to hell, which is probably why I feel almost the same way about the early-mid 00's as you do the 90's.  I totally agree that every time era is different for everyone, and probably for most the 90's was their childhood that they wished to return to.  I'm very sorry to hear it wasn't the same way for you, and more than happy to hear it improved later in life!

 

Trust me, that was definitely not a bad vent.  I've seen way worse, and this one looked pretty worthy to me!  I'd be feeling pretty sour if I hated a decade everyone else raved about, heh.

90's were alright. But We all have our reasons to hate and love. Your vent wasnt silly, I'm glad things got better for you through the years.

Well there are many games I love in 90s, the movies were decent, music was kinda bad compared to 70s and 80s and animes were firetrucking awesome. 

90s isn't the worst time of life, but definitely not the best. 

I was born in 1999. 90s is the best? Nah. Maybe not for me :3

Everyone thinks the 90s are great because of nostalgia which is stupid and a lot of people think theyre better for liking the 90s and saying this generation sucks ass.

Personally, I love this generation. Pop culture and media is a lot more inclusive than before and cartoons don't have shitty protagonists and actually try to teach kids good morals nowadays. Our generations cartoons has shitty protagonists that were little asshats to the people around them, generally being violent and getting into trouble and being dicks. Now we have shows like LoK, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, etc., that actually have characters that aren't totally awful. And like I said, pop culture is getting a bit better with inclusion of queerfolk and PoC (cartoons have also have more nonwhite characters and characters that aren't afraid to show affection to the same gender.)

Basically: If you think the 90s are the shit and anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid, you need to shut up. Our parents think generation was the best. This generation will think theirs is the best. And we think ours is the best, but from my observation, we're the only assholes who go around calling people stupid for simply not being part of our generation.

Anyways I just ranted.

It's sad to hear about your father, but I'm glad you got away and I see how those memories can affect your perspective on a certain time. But trust me, the 90s weren't that great anyways.

The 90's were pretty good for me (I was born in '93), but I definitely preferred the early 2000's, because of KH coming out.

The 90's were OK for me.  Some good things happened, and some bad things happened.
