Why I Love The 90s.

When Shawn and I were coming home from Ohio, I was thinking of my next blog post. I thought a few ideas, but hen it hit me. Why not do a post on why I still love the 90s? Genius, I tell you. Anyway, here are some of my reasons for loving the 90s.

I was still a kid. Everything was simple, maybe it was for that reason, but it felt like a safer world, a safer time. I can't believe it's already been over twenty years since the beginning of the 90s!

The economy was great! Thank you, President Clinton. We actually had a decent president. There was such a thing as middle class. That's where most people fit it. Now, it's either you can afford it or you can't. Everything was cheaper. Food wasn't so damn expensive. I swear, some days I feel I will go broke just buying groceries. Gas was crazy cheaper! I remember when it was only a dollar something! That was wonderful, even though I didn't drive. You could afford to take longer trips and be able to fill the damn gas tank!

School was better. Teachers weren't getting laid off, they still taught cursive AND home ec. You had to have a 75% to pass. There wasn't this bullshit of "let's make it simple."

Middle school dances were so fun. I remember Savage Garden. Oh, all the girls swooned over their songs. I remember when Matchbox 20 first came out. Hell, I even like The Spice Girls! LOL! We just danced and it wasn't about showing off or anything. it was just fun.

There was decent music. Ok, not really, but there were the original boy bands: Backstreet Boys, NSync, 98 Degrees. And boy, were they hotties! Remember Justin Timberlake having that horrible afro thing? LOL! I loved Ace of Base and Tubthumping by Chumbawumba. Hell, every time I hear that song it takes me back to the 90s. I admit, I still like it. :)

Alternative rock started happening in the 90s. Welcome Nirvana. After Kurt Cobain died, it died down, but that was a good era of music! And,  rap was not a big thing. If it would've been Vanilla Ice could've have copied more bass lines off other artists. ;)

There were CDs. I love CDs. I still like buying CDs rather than downloading music because I like reading the little booklets. I love looking at the covers and knowing what the song is called. Hell, I still have a walkman (cd player). It's huge compared to iPods! LOL!

The best actors were on Saturday Night Live. You had Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Rob Schneider, Mike Myers, and David Spade. They made SNL hilarious! Even though, I must admit Kristin Wiig is awesome and I am so bummer it's her last season on SNL. I love her.

Night at the Roxbury. Wayne's World 1 & 2. <--The first Wayne's World movie brought back a very famous song that a new generation got to enjoy. Can you guess what it is?  :) Dance music! "What is love? Lady don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more." Love that stuff!

Kids in the Hall came out in 1989 and lasted until 1994. Then, they had a movie come out in 1998. They are so funny. I love their stuff. They were sketch comedy, wrote all their own stuff and they are hilarious! 

We still had our old house, which no longer exists. I think it came from the 70s. It had an ugly greenish yellow carpet and a long hallway that was so awesome to play it. It was a double wide, but such a great house. Cozy, I guess you could say. I could've lived in that house forever. It had two pine trees in front of it. These babies were HUGE. I always tried to convince mom and dad to put Christmas tree lights on them, but that never happened. Too difficult.

I don't believe it was the best decade, but it was the decade I grew up in. And honestly, sometimes I miss it. It was so much better back then. Maybe it was childlike innocence, but life was good. I'm not saying it's horrible now, but it sure as hell seems as if the world is going to shit. Anyway, I hope you enjoy. And, if you love the 90s too, let me know! What's your favorite part of the 90s? I know all my classmates can relate! :) Remember the debate of who was better? NSync or the Backstreet Boys? Oh yes, definitely Backstreet Boys. Backstreet's Back, all right! :D
