Something many of us can agree on is that the world sucks nowadays. There always seems to be some kind of terrible world event lingering around the corner, people are miserable, and everything is too damn expensive. The present isn’t a fun place to be all of the time, so it’s nice to take a trip down memory lane to an era whose problems we don’t have to deal with anymore. 

For those millennials of a certain age, that happy place is definitely the nineties. Like any time we lived in when we were kids and teenagers, it has a certain nostalgic glow to it that can’t be replicated in the present day. Were there a load of crappy things going on back then? Sure. However, it’s hard to remember when we’re focused on the euphoria of wheeling in the TV for movie time in middle school. Those were some great times.
