1995 was really the last year before the Internet took over. It was around but not many people were using it. My "bit time" corporation in NYC didn't even have email in 1995. I'd say by 1997/98, people's behaviors started to change in society with regards to the internet. And then by 2007 with the Iphone, its been downhill ever since.
Smartphones ruined everything
Bingo you're so right I just got my first home computer in 95 after hearing about the Great Wide Web and every corporation at that time had a joke of a website that was the multi corporations like McDonald's, Coke, Disney with non-functional interactive pages. It was still a great time to be an American to buy anything you wanted regardless of your income during holidays.
completely oblivious to the fact that they lived at the absolute peak of human comfort and society. Most of them are probably still alive today and look back at those times with nostalgia.
Christmas of 1995 was my first Christmas married to my wife. Newly wed Christmas. Love going shopping with her at Paramus Park and Garden State Plaza Malls. The 90s were definitely happier and better times for America.
The Holiday season is the one time I enjoyed working in retail. So busy, never a boring moment and the time on your shift would pass so fast.
I loved working in malls throughout the 80's/90's, and i also loved Christmas, everybody was happier back then, and the festive decorations was also uplifting for the staff.
@@halloweenville1me too! Worked in the 90s at Chess king and loved going on break and seeing all the lush Christmas decorations.
@@kevinonthank I never got bored with the Christmas songs on a loop either, lol.
I was 14 when this was shot. I thank my lucky stars I lived as a teen through the 90s
I was 12 years old in 1995 we didn’t know how good we had it
@@lisamays912 Amen!
Would love to go back...even for just one whole day.
Why do I find myself yet again feeling so nostalgic for an era I never lived through, and will never experience. I tell myself, it'll never be like that again. They must have had it so much better than I do now, in current year. I convince myself that they put less effort into the decorations now and that the malls would be less lively and all this nonsense. And then I think about all the people in the video who inevitably would enter the 2000s, react to 9/11, COVID-19 pandemic, and everything that came with the 21st century. I look at all the commercials and brand logos and styles and music of the 1990s and it seems like almost a perfect period for humanity. Technology was here but not too crazy, pizza hut was on its prime. Now we have to deal with oversimplified brand logos, dead malls, screen addictions, etc. Sighhhh.
I feel that way for the 80s and 90s. But I lived through all of the 90s as a kid. I can also watch commercials from those eras for hours 😂
I was born in the 80s and always longed for the 60s. Seeing more and more of these things about the 90s gives me goosebumps that I lived through that decade and it seems like we hit peak in 2000. Few could ever have expected what was right around the corner like you mentioned with 9/11, etc. but I’d add the fallout of the 2008-2009 economic collapse too.
Why do people keep repeating this meme? They see the question posted somewhere, notice the likes its get, and run off to another video to repost the question.
@@atlantic_love It's not a meme, man. At least not to me. And I couldn't care less about likes, I'm just here for conversation.
@@Vendzor Not a man, lol. It's all good, but if you've watched comments it's the same shit asked over and over, all over TH-cam. People are literally copy/pasting.
Christmas ‘95 was perfect for me. I believe that year we had a real Christmas tree and I still remember the smell so every time I smell them I think of my childhood
Just get a real Christmas tree.
Same for me. It was nice to have a real tree for once, but it was also the last time we had a real tree due to the pine needles falling off and making a mess, and our pets wouldn't leave the tree alone. Our dogs kept trying to pee on it lol, and the cats wanted to climb it. They don't do that with the fake trees.
@@atlantic_love I probably will this year, nothing too big
@@ville666sora Our cats sure love to climb our artificial tree. We'll come home from work and there's feline tinsel hanging from the tree, and nice round indentations where kitties were raising, and branches that need to be reshaped. It's aggravating to fix, but part of the Christmas fun. It's their Christmas, too 💖😸
@@micai.j8920 We also have an artificial tree that has color-coded branches that go into certain spots on the trunk...
Now THIS was America as I remembered it.
Same. Old america is lost for good now.
Everything looks so decent.
I deff miss the 90s
I remember the 90s like they were yesterday. I was 14 in 1995.
You are a young pup. I was born 1972. This year I'll turn 51.
I was 23. You are on the youngest bracket of GenX. Basically mid 60s to mid 80s birth years. However I feel bad cause you really didn't get to experience the 80s/90s as an older teen/adult before the internet/cell phone zombie appocalypse.
I feel the same way. I've never forgot any of it. Feels like yesterday still. Where did u live? I was Idaho.
@@superpayaseria I lived in Florida.
Man I was only 7
I was born in 95 so this was my first Christmas 😍
Same here, I was 3 months old
@@DaniSmith_95 me too! Born September 15th!
I was 4 when this all happened. I knew this all existed. It feels so long ago that we were at the top of life. 😢 Id give anything to see culture return to this. I remember bits and pieces from life as a 4-year-old. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Everybody just seemed happier and more connected!!! Take me back in time already!!!
This whole Christmas thing is maddening. I don't deal with it anymore and put my full attention into birthdays.
I was born in the summer of that year. My first Christmas
I was 8 in 1995, The 90’s was my entire childhood and everyone actually talked to each other even in stores. The internet itself wasn’t as popular as it is today cause not many families could afford a computer with access to the internet. Prices and living costs were very affordable not like today with inflation in 2024. The Holidays where a staple in the 80’s an90’s cause back then it was mostly about being together and having a good time.
4:33 that big pile of golden retriever stuffies. That was my favorite childhood stuffed animal, I still have him. Crazy!
I was 15 . My mom didn’t have a car or money so going to the mall was very little experience for me as a teen in the 90s . Now I hate going to the malls I feel they so crowded 😂
Not in most of America. Most of the malls are gone.
I was just a few months old when this video was filmed (born in October 1995). Its incredible to see just how much more popular malls were in the 1990s. I agree with other people in the comments below that everyone and everything just seemed more lively. People were certainly better dressed in the 1990s. Their idea of dressing casual would put our idea of casual to shame. Don't see anyone in the mall wearing yoga pants.
Would you mind if I used snippets of this for the opening of a Christmas themed horror film that we are shooting? You'll get closing credits plus a few free copies of the movie on DVD when its wrapped.
1995 the year I was born
Weird to think that all of these people, even the children, are now long dead.
9:07 EVERY RECEIPT PRINTER IN THE '90S!!!

I know...I hear you
