The 90s thread

[footyfan1978]

1900-1910 would be ghastly. No medicine. No welfare. Australia was full of swindlers. Having to read books and newspapers to entertain yourself would be the least problem.

Neither of us have been close to it.
I am not saying it would be comfortable but would be interesting to experience the difference in thinking of people as technology would be so little part of life from day to day. The thinking would be more diverse which is what would interest me of how some people would think of the world then.
Also Australia is just becoming a thing. That would be interesting to experience too. Football is just into early decade of two major leagues running side by side. Would be interesting to experience.

The 1920s would have been cool if you moved in the right circles, cocaine and heroin were easily available, while you danced the Charleston.

The 1920s in Australia wouldn't have been so cool though, a lot of WWI vets suffering PTSD and battling alcoholism, then the depression hit in the 30s.

Then if they got through all that another World War started.

There is not really anything of 1920's that would appeal. Just before 1929 world depression might be interesting for one or two years but as you said the post WWI crap would not be much fun as so many people would have been affected. Be a rare family that did not so would be rare indeed.
That is why only first decade of that century of the first six decades I might find interesting as was before the World Wars and also the decade Australia became a Federation. Would be interesting times for a number of reasons. I'd jump forward to 1960 before I'd want to explore any other decade.
Love to be the Aussie actor in Time Machine movie doing that.

Best Comedy show /sitcom of the 90's without doubt....What the Yanks do best, rude, crude & irreverent.

 

[Procrastinator35]

This show wasn't too bad either....I'd mostly watch it just to perve on Grace (Debra Messing) though.... Nothing to do with being progressive or P/C at all.

They're still easily available although coke is stupidly expensive this country.

Office Space - great late '90s film written and directed by Mike Judge, unfortunately 20th Century Fox ****ed up when it came to promoting the film with its shit posters and shit trailers.

I consider Al Bundy a personal hero of mine.

That might explain why I'm single

I love that he was a shoe-salesman.

Surely the GOAT all time kids movie (released as The Sandlot Kids in Australia) and classic 90s

 

[Papa G]

To go a bit peternorth 90s pr0n, particularly European was the best. So many hot birds coming out of previously repressed Eastern Europe eager to make fast cash. Production values were still high as it was pre free for all on the Interwebz too.

 

[FRUMPY]

As a comedian I agree....Bi-polar more than likely.

As a serious actor, such as in Good Will Hunting & Dead Poets Society?....Then not at all.

Good will hunting was superb. I was more along the lines of anytime he was the funnyman (stand up or movies - didn't like him)

If you're gay, female or/and nonwhite, anything before at minimum 1980 you're going to have a bad time.

If your a white male, anything before 2010 is great [emoji1787][emoji23][emoji1787][emoji23]

Maybe he just wants to live a relatively stress free life and enjoy his money?

Still wrote some of the defining lyrics of modern music.

Exactly and smart move. You'd have to be a ****ing idiot to keep living a life of crime after becoming rich and successful. Particularly at that stage of your life.

He was always writing about what he saw and what was happening around him, than anything he was actually doing.

Eazy was an actual gangsta.

Cube was also very political.

Very good.

Was at this, don’t remember much though!

Being born in the 1890s would be challenging (in Australian terms anyway), as you spend your childhood in a depression, go to WWI as a young adult (or sweetheart/family member), experience the depression when raising a family, then are still young enough to go to WWII or see their sons go off. A '90s kid then was facing a bumpy road ahead.

On the bright side you're alive for those all important late 19th century Essendon premierships that get counted today like they mean something.

My gran was born in 1909, she was the only person I knew who could remember WWI. Having lived through two world wars she moved to Rhodesia hoping for a bit of peace and quiet.
