I liked the 90s. Boring was nice, I miss boring.

As someone from the Balkans, I don't miss the 90's.

You Balkans sure are contentious people

Plus grunge and an excellent decade for metal and, to a lesser degree, rock. One of the worst for pop music, though 🤷

The less said about 90s fashion the better, though 😄

90s low rise jeans, pockets or not with hip bones on display is what made me know I was straight. Exposed midriffs and back dimples were all the rave there for a good bit.

Edit: I think low rise denim skirts were big around that time as well, I have no complaints about late 90s fashion

And RAVES!

Though the mid-00s to the mid-2010s had bette music (other than most dubstep, sorry dubstep-lovers)

Agree COMPLETELY on dubstep, but with a few exceptions like System of a Down and Korn, 00s and 2010s music was not anywhere near as good as 90s jams.

If I never hear some lame white rapper with mountains of unearned confidence and delusions of profundity in a metal song again, it'll be too soon 😄

Opeth was my #1 both in the 90s and 00s! System of a Down was stellar.

I was a metalhead and hated rap in the 00s, but now that I’m old, I recognize that the 00s had some INCREDIBLE rappers… UGK the GOAT (rest in peace, young Pimp C…), clipse, Lil Wayne (the pun king, so many puns), Jedi Mind Tricks.

Not to mention the anticon collective, doseone is also extremely GOAT (I urge anyone reading this to check out “Less is Orchestra” with doseone and the late great Alias. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time!) 13&God, Subtle, Why?… Some of my favorite music came out in the 00s.

(Sorry for the rant hahaha)
