The 90s were incredible. The Matrix had it right when it mentioned in 1999 "peak of human civilization".

* Music was incredible

* Movies were amazing, enough to go to the theater 12 times a year at least

* Homelessness was pretty much non-existent

* People were friendly and had time for strangers

* Employment was 10x better than today, and not by today's way of counting (which don't count group x y and z)

* Jobs actually made people feel needed and going to work was an incredible feeling for your soul.

* Very few people were on drugs 24/7 like they are today

Our biggest problem was probably Alcohol, which has actually dipped today (but probably because people are on pot instead)

If I had $200 Billion I would literally give all of it to be a teen again for ten years from 1990 to 2000 again.
