I feel nostalgic for France in the 1790's.

For me around then it was discovering industrial with Prodigy that was my big "Woah" moment.
The genre nerd in me just had an aneurysm.

Also, for me, the goodness of the 1990s really culminated on New Years Eve 2000. It was downhill from there.
Do you mean the night of December 31st 1999 into Januari 2000 ?
Coincedence.
That was exactly the night that everything started going downhill for me too. :) Exactly that moment. Around 4:00 or 5:00 AM in the morning.

The early-mid 90s were great.
We still had proper hippies. Music was awesome. Mobiles weren't everywhere and neither was the internet. The club scene was great with dedicated metal clubs, indie clubs, dance clubs, raves were on the go. Goths were still real and student houses were proper student houses and not the fancy bs that came later to mollycoddle everyone.

I too miss video stores. It was an event to get some movies and pizza and come home to the family and everyone watch together. I also miss music stores. I miss browsing the old way. I miss talking to the store owner about stuff. I even miss MTV being about music videos. There was less but better of everything, music, movies, phone conversations, you name it. Okay, lately I've discovered a lot of good music, but generally speaking. There was a bohemian atmosphere about places that is lacking now. Everything now seems to be about money. It was about having fun then.
Then again there are things from the sixties and seventies I miss as well. But bring back? Just a couple of people I lost in 97 and 98. That and the feel those times had.

The only reason why you two aren't nostalgic for the 90's is because you didn't have a Pogo Ball.
I did. It was so rad.

My subjective opinion, but here it goes. I think the 90's and very early 2000's were the apex of human musical achievement, and while technology has advanced, music has declined. Now, part of it comes from my teenage years which spanned that time, but there's also a bit of an (

Besides that, I also miss that we weren't as connected, we didn't have instant access to feeds and information. I am thankful to have all the world's knowledge in my pocket, but it's a double edged sword. It seems world is more dull, the thrill of the unknown, discovery and research is gone, subcultures are in decline as music, fashion, etc. become increasingly homogeneous. Everything is turning into a uniform soup of endless feeds, anything and everything mixed together. Something exciting and unique one day is immediately forgotten the next...
