I did nothing to you and yet you attack me on a personal level?!
Other ways to feel old:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it’s been 34 years since its release.
- Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
- The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink… five years ago.
- Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn’t yet reached one year old on 9/11.
- The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it’s been 32 years since Doom.
Should I go on?
You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.
You’re correct. The 90s has always been and will always be ten years ago.
The future scenes in Back to the Future II take place ten years in the past.
Oof
You can go on away from here with your personal attacks.
On average the entire human population turns over every 120 years.
Everyone alive today wasn’t here 120 years ago
Everyone alive today won’t be alive in 120 years
The modern human species is about 60,000 years old … we’ve only been technologically modern in the past 150 years, geologically speaking, we’re still cavemen.
I was having a good day
Sorry, I’ll make up for it with this weird music video that wishes you a nice day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mkiGMtbrPM
Hope it helps.
Listen here you little shit…
If Back to the Future we’re remade today, he’d be going back in time to 1995.
I’d like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.
Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn’t had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.
Well, fuck you too
Well damn.
1990-1995 were definitely a nicer place to be than 1955-1960, though, so we got that going for us as far as the 35yo past is concerned.
1995 was amazing, really the whole 90s.
Amazing music, peace, and nobody was afraid to tell all the douchebags of the world to go f themselves.
Don’t forget saturday morning cartoons and music on mtv
fire hydrant wearing a cowboy hat and playing a guitar
“After these messages… we’ll be right back.”
Well shit, that’s a core memory reactivated.
It’s crazy how vividly you can remember something like that, while moments earlier having absolutely no consciousness of it.
Here’s a fun little tidbit. Remember Marc Summers, and Double Dare? Remember how messy that show got?
Well Marc was actually a germophobe, and every time he got messy he would be having an anxiety attack as the show was being recorded. On double dare. DOUBLE DARE!!! The show that was so messy, it’s logo literally had a blob of green slime as the backdrop!
And every moment you see him, covered in mess, smiling away, just know that internally, he’s having a panic attack and in hell.
Yay childhood memories!
I might have to revisit it with that in mind!
It was the peak of civilization
- no internet (or at least popular, easy access internet)
- no social media
- no streaming content
- no online distractions
Which meant
- you spent more time talking to people
- you just spent more time with people
- you read more to ease the boredom
- you used a library more
- you read actual newspapers written by journalists more
- you questioned the government more
- you had to pay to use an inconvenient landline all the time which meant you called less and wanted to just see people more
Now with a high speed internet connection, we’re disconnected from one another and we believe in every hair brained idea we find online.
YOU HAD PEACE!!!
Peace of mind.
Peace that everyone wasn’t trying to force you to believe their opinions or be judged as evil.
I love the internet, but it desperately eroded the barrier that stood between our internal self-image and literally everyone else in the world.
Yeah IDK about peace, but in terms of tolerance in ‘the west’ it was a huge step up over 1955, and rave culture in particular (where it was a thing anyway; might have been focused on european countries like UK and Germany?) was probably more tolerant and friendly than a lot of popular ‘party’ scenes today.
I agree that the music was fine. I don’t know about the rest of it.

I was born in 1973. My grandfather was born in 1892 !
If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.
And Marty would be 57 years old
LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA
Fuck you. How dare you attack me like this
I miss the 90s. 😞
…I JUST woke up! Why do you want me to feel old???
dont do that
The release of “1985” by Bowling for Soup was closer to actual 1985 than we are to its release.
The release of “1985” by bo burnham though…
June is still worried about the Beaver.
