The 90’s can never be replicated - hanging out at the shopping malls - meeting up at the arcades - going to block buster and looking for movies - calling friends on the telephone to make plans - going to house parties - watching movies at the cheap theatres for $2 + $2 happy meals - playing snes with your friends at their house instead of online - playing outdoor sports like basketball and football - no social media - skate parks and loitering - comic book stores
@@tiago2189 not quite. These locations don’t exist in the numbers they used to. You would be surprised to find a decent arcade to go to within a 1 mile radius compared to in the 90s. There were about four arcades/gamer stores on a single block. Public open areas have also been reduced, we don’t have as many parks as we used to, movie theaters are closing down in droves due to streaming and malls have also been closing down because of online shopping. Even fast food restaurants have reduced in size because most people would rather order for delivery. We are no longer excited by new technological advances, we now expect them. And people don’t throw house parties anymore, most parties are now done on live streaming through social media. Also, not only have things become more expensive, they’ve also become more dangerous if we’re looking at statistics. So yes to some degree a lot of those things can still be done, but back then you had so many options, so many places, and you didn’t need a car or a bus to get to them.
Agreed. The 90's were full of anticipation and excitement for what the future could bring. As a teen (born in 1983), we honestly felt that technology would be able to help us do anything in the future and that the world would get better as a result. So much optimism and not division.
Great video. I’m a 36 y.o. veteran, dying from a neuro-autoimmune disease. I lament for the 90s and just days of promise and more simplicity. My mom was still alive too. What I would give…
Those were good times, when people where truly connected and family was the reason to be alive and to prosper, thank you for your service and my condolences, hope everything goes acording to Gods plan with you and your family🙏🏼
I`m 60,try doing what I do and be thankful you`re not going to be alive to see what the future brings,because if it is anything like the 2020s it will be very grim indeed.We`re better off out of it!
That’s what I was gonna say! Bob Ross sold video tapes to follow along with. But I think his real appeal was watching HIM paint with that unique personality
that painting is wonderful. the impression I got from bob was there is no right or wrong when it comes to painting. do what you think is right and never be afraid to put some happy little trees and bushes everywhere
I was in high school from 1990 - 1994 and I can honestly say the 90's were a great time to be alive. Don't get me wrong, the 80's were great too. However, the 90's had a special blend of technology and old school ways that no other decade had. Home computers and the internet started taking off in late 1993 and by 1995 about half the people you knew had a computer in their home and if they didn't they could easily call a friend and get access to one. Video games and the internet were thriving and becoming better and better everyday. I got my 1st cell phone in 1994. With all that said and with all the advancements with the technology at that time, we hadn't got to the point of letting the technology take over us like in today's world. This is probably because the internet and computers were still viewed as something that wasn't a necessity and was still novel. And of course smartphones were still year's away. Today the internet is viewed as a necessity because the way we do everything in today's world makes it extremely difficult to get things done without the internet. Everything from paying bills to renewing the tags for your car is done through apps or online now. There is a lot of nostalgia for the 1990's, but I honestly think it's for good reason. Can anyone think of any other decade where we had cellphones, home computers, and the internet, but society was still social in real life and humble?? I can't
I mean 2000s were the same for me. I didn't get a touch screen phone till 2013. I wasn't a slave to the internet. I even drove to Florida from NY and back alone at 18 in 2004 with an Atlas.
@@GoldenStateOfKindDude, you seriously agree with that person who stated by "1995 about half the people you knew had a computer in their home." Are you kidding me, for real? At the beginning of 1995 only 34% of the US population had a single computer in their home. At the end of 1995 it went up by 4 to 39% which is literally not "about half" at the beginning or end of 1995. Back in 1995, it was slightly over ⅓ (one third) of the familys population who had a computer. Most people don't even realize there was a Windows 3.1 since 95 came out fall of that year. By the end of 1998, only 42% of the population had computers, and Windows 98 was released publicly during late June of the same year. It was not until the year 2000 that 51% of households in the United States owned at least one computer, which was the first time the number surpassed 50%. At that time, Windows Me came out retail in September, also a horrible system.
I'm 37 so basically my entire childhood into my pre-teen years took place in the 90s. Times felt simpler only because we were kids back then. I'm sure the adults of the 90s had a much different perspective. Your grandparents "don't remember much about the 90s" because it wasn't their golden years like it was for Millennials. For them it was just another decade. Back in the 90s, I remember there was a lot of 50s and 60s nostalgia. Tons of hippie and disco references in tv shows, modern remakes of old cartoons and tv shows, etc. Today, it's all about 90s and 2000s nostalgia and now that Millenials are in their 30s and presumably involved in media and marketing jobs, we've done away with the 50s and 60s stuff and replaced it with 90s nostalgia. It's just a cycle every generation goes through. We just miss our childhood era. I bet you by the time Gen Alpha becomes adults, nobody is going to even think twice about anything before 2010.
I think you're quite right on this. I always thought that this was just a repetitive emotionnal/affective bias that every generation reproduce. Yet, I don't feel concerned because I really think that the things get more and more positive (contrary to a widely held idea) so even if there are still so much problems and issues to solve, I think our society is showing a lot of signs of an overall progress in the state of minds. And we also experience that with a huge technological progress (I'm talking about the usefull one) and a a spiritual awakening that is on the rise. So I don't feel nostalgic. In the 2000's and even the begining of the 2010's, it was still a very materialistic world with no real intention to create a more resilient and introspective lifestyle AND without such usefull techological tools that facilitate our tasks in the daily life. So no nostalgy for me, except maybe for the better reliability of the cars and for old good memories here and there.
Yeah, i'm 39 so I feel you and 100% agree.. It cracks me up when people around my age talk about how horrible things are or the movies and music suck etc etc.. Literally every single thing my Dad talked about being shitty was great to us and no surprise his Dad was EXACTLY the same as well in there respective era's.. No shit Mainstream music isn't going to be geared towards late 30's to early 40's grown ass adults haha.. There's still endless great music and movies being made for us to like for the most part you just have to dig a bit deeper but nothing will ever quite match the 80's to early 2000's Music and Movies especially considering we have an unmovable crater sized nostalgic bubble over it all. If I could still just hang out with Friends, not worry about Work, eat and drink anything and everything I wanted etc. etc. with zero repercussions i'd probably be loving the current era way more as well. I never understood how this is so difficult for most to grasp.
I'm a couple months late to your comment. I'm Gen X and was in my 20's during the 90's. Paying my own rent and living on my own. Life was better then. Affordable rent, music was great, 3rd spaces, cars you could work on yourself, more human to human connection. The internet was a novelty, it didn't dominate your life. (Apps to do shit or pay bills) Real hope that the future was going to be great. I'd go back in a second.
Yes, generally we tend to view our childhood years as “home” and romanticise over it. But there are certainly periods of time that are consider better or worse across generations. I know plenty of people that are now 70-90 years old that considers the 80s and 90s as the best decades even though they were adults. They might not romanticise over video games and pop music as much as the younger people though, there were other parts that made it a good time for them.
Damn this is my second video after watching the dunking one, and I gotta say despite the lack of views you got some very original and well planned ideas. Your videos are very entertaining and engaging, hope you find more success in the future which you will if you keep this up
I was a Senior in High School in 1996 and I can tell you, the 90's were exactly what we thought they were, AMAZING! Dating back then was pure awesome. TV was great. Games were great. Movies were the best. Hell, I loved the 80's but the 90's were my "life". Blair Witch, yea, saw that a few times in the theater! Man what a decade. Great vid btw.
@@MrLa1983 86 here, best time of our lives, power rangers, ring pops, no social media, legos and tv where ur show aired once a week and if u missed it well FUCK YOU! Good times
Yes, class of 96 here as well and I concur with everything you said and I miss it dearly 2024 is not where I would like to be right now Back when I was a senior, this kind of world we live in today was never even in my concept Auto tragedy how horrible it’s getting and very sad
The 20s will not be better than the 90s. we're already half way through and look at the absolute state of it haha. Awesome video man. You tried and did a pretty good job. Maybe if we all did it at once it could work!
I'm 50 now. So I grew up my young adult life in the 90s. I think it was the best era for me. I was right into computers then. Remember Duke nukem 3D, that was huge when it came out. Now I hear young people say " The 90s was back in the olden days" lol. Just sempt like yesterday.
I grew up in the 90s. Was a glorious time to be alive. Born on the cusp of the end of the 80's...learned to thrive in the 90s hahahaha. Was amazing. Thanks for these videos and the nostalgia trip. Also your grandparents are adorable hahaha
@@sebastianp.279 Nah, I did the same. With modern adapters the g o 4:3 VGA can easily be combined with the normal GTX 1060. The real question is: Why you have a 4:3 at home? For me it is because working with the view of video cutting software is much easier on a 4:3 ratio and a second 16:9 next to it.
@@FrauWNiemand I never understood the need for screen width, it doesn't make sense. Our workflows usually require us to scroll top-down; like scrolling through a website or a word document. If you think about it, monitors should be higher instead of broader, shouldn't they? So I use my 4:3 because it gets the job done. Why would I throw out a perfectly working monitor to replace it with something that wouldn't do things any better?
In the 90's and before, you arranged a time and place to meet. You had a lifestyle that meant no last minute changes because you know it wasn't possible to tell anyone that you have changed it. Pagers weren't that common. Only Drs and people like that had them. 90's are easy to live: I've pretty much never left them. No mobile phone, still buy CDs (no streaming!), still use paper maps when going to new long distant places, pay cash for everything. Especially of you enjoy analogue hobbies like painting!
I was born in '83 and I have tons of memory. Our society was not as sick as it is now. No school shootings, people in general were friendlier. Life was simpler, slower and people had more patience. We had no cell phones, kids found 'true' friends during summer camps, and my best piece of tech was a walkman in the early '90s. Our parents let us play outside and there were way less DANGER and WARNING signs. HotWheels, LEGO, GI Joe action figures, Transformers, VHS cassettes. Cartoons were cool, music was better, movies were awesome. I remember out first PC computer in 1993. My dad allowed us to play only on the weekend for 30 mins/day. My dad and I used to play Gunboat together (It was a PC game and I was the gunner because it was easier) There was no social media, Netflix or internet (at least the beginning of the decade) but we had a lot of fun! People cared a lot more about each other. Family vacations were great. Took lots of toys and my dad was super annoyed :) BBQ parties with neighbors and many more. We spent a lot of time on the beach during summer :) I think people were more positive about the future.
Man, I'm about a decade older than you and nostalgia has been weighing on me heavily the last few years, especially when thinking about the 90s. Your video felt fun and wholesome, that feeling I associate with childhood from that decade. Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed it.
Man, I was a teenager in the 90s and the one thing I can say is not true is people just showing up at your friends houses. We would always call first on the phone, at least where I grew up. Same goes with meeting up with people. We would usually call right before we left to say we're on our way, so there would be no chance of standing people up. I never had a pager and never had an issue personally. Also, we would usually ask for detailed directions to where we're going and use the maps as a backup. It's so funny how much trust we put into our friends to give us good directions! Phenomenal video man.
Nah we would 'knock on' where u showed up, knocked the door and asked their parents if they could play out, so totally true, you might not have had that but our little community sure did! And the parents ALWAYS knew where we were, miss that
Most my friends lived on same road AKA dead end road So for me it was no trouble to go to friends houses & I pretty much knew if they were home or not I didn’t even have to call them I just showed up 1 friend lived next door 1 friend lived cuple house from me The other 2 lived at end of street My neighbor hood was family road Aka aunts uncles grandparents of my friend lived on same street & nother family set lived on my street then my neighbor cross road it was her & her family livin bhind her So yea my dead end road was a little village of sorts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 But I do miss my days in da 90s livin on dat street And da friends I grew up with on dat street are still friends/associates Even da family members I’m still friends/associates wit We aka all us neighbors considered each other as family members I’m some kind of way cause we all looked out for each other
In the 80's "calling for" your friends, aka showing up at their house to ask them to come out, was definitely more of a thing. Adults would "drop by," like for tea or something. I think that culture had started to fade in the 90's and people mostly called first. Then again, living in a small neighborhood with young kids, their friends would sometimes knock on our door to ask them to come outside so maybe it's more of an age thing? I don't know but I hope kids are still doing that. It was something I really loved about childhood.
From the age of 8 or 9 the only thing my parents knew about where I was is that I was either IN,or I was OUT!!!...I would walk out the front door and be back by 6 o`clock...in between I was out there exploring the wonderful world of London in the 1970s.
I thought you are a big TH-camr and maybe I was wrong in terms of subscribers but in terms of content you are surely a tough competition for them A new fan of you sir Will wait for your videos from now on Have a good day sir
Wow that video was such a unique style, flowed smoothly and had great attention to detail, well researched with clever humour, great camera work and wow, it really stood out from any other video I've watched recently. Honestly.
Great video. As a 40 Year old I recall the 90s well. I will say though, the one thing you can’t duplicate, unfortunately, is the lack of understanding of what would come next. You have perspective of how it’s different now. Dealing with a lot of stuff back then was done just in the moment. Some of it sucked looking back but at the time it was just normal. I didn’t fret about not having a smart phone as I didn’t know what that was and couldn’t have conceived of it. Internet was great but I couldn’t have understood how much better it would get. I probably spend more time now wondering how tech will evolve in the future than I ever did then.
I’m 32, and I agree with you, although you’ve got a few years on me. I think technology, specifically smart phones, have crippled us. Having all the answers to every question in our pockets, being able to call anybody we want at almost any moment, as long as there’s signal, it has ruined us. When the phones go down, or when the internet goes down, we fall apart. Our cell phones were down for two days where I live this past weekend, and my personal wifi was out as well. We about worried ourselves sick thinking if anything happens we can’t check on each other, blah blah blah. Of course nothing happened. We weren’t stranded with a vehicle breakdown. We didn’t have to suddenly google the state bird of Nebraska, nothing happened. We’re so comfortable feeling like we’re in complete control that we go to pieces when something disrupts it, and oh how easily it can be disrupted. No wonder we’re all on anxiety pills.
I'll be 44 in a few months and yeah its not quite the same as living in the moment back then. I was the class of '99 and I sure as hell didn't know that the entire word would dramatically change a couple years later with 9/11. It's like I got to have a year of adulthood before everything went to hell, friends went to war, etc.
The point he makes about his computer not being much worse than a computer now is definitely true though, everything is just incrementally slowly getting better but back then new technology was night and day better. I went from having a 1980s PC to a 1990s PC and it was just incredibly better in every way only 5 years later, now my PC is 5 years old and I don't even care.
LOOOOL When they invent time travel a lot of people will go back to live in those days and STAY there because for a lot of people back then was WAY better than the hell of today.
despite being born in 1999 ive become obsessed with shows from 90's and early 2000's. back then shows actually felt realistic meanwhile most shows nowadays feel like the same overhyped bullshit over and over again
@Reppen555 Something That I would really like to witness as being a millennial Black American male 90s Kid Who was born on October of 1986, *A* *1990s* *Way* *of* *Living* *Merged* *Together* *With* *Up* *To* *Date* *Technology* If That Can Make Sense
The only problem with "experiments" like this is that you can't re-create the social aspect of this, which is a huge part of what makes each era what it is. Unless you get like 4 or 5 friends in on this to do the same thing, all you can really do is hang around by yourself, but even then, that's just a hand full of people. Loved the fake commercials in this haha.
Great video. The 90’s were special the 80s were fun too! The 90’s were a gigantic mix of old versus new technology. The Cold War was over and the US was on top. We went from 8-bit gaming to 3D graphics and the PS1 in one decade. Cellphones came in a bag and large as a brick and ended the decade with it being truly pocket sized. Smoking sections were larger than non-smoking sections. Movies were changing and epic and malls were at the height of cool. Internet started with no graphics to full fledge internet with music streaming. It was still a time where you went outside too and had fun outdoors well into the evening.
I was born in 82, but grew up in the 90s. It's so weird to see how old this stuff looks now when back then, it was cutting edge. It's also fascinating to see someone like you who was very young in that era, trying to recreate it. That part where you were trying to find your friend down in the basement, I actually thought you were trying to recreate the Blair Witch Project, which at that time was the hottest movie and such a new concept of that time
Looking at world events and the economy after 2000 hit, maybe the ball dropping was the slow end of the world as we knew it. Though the 90's was the start of the digital age, the 2010s was the digital age, we are now entering the surveillance age in the 20s. These kind of things have a huge impact on how the world runs and operates and redefines the threats and dangers of harm, disruption, and destruction.
Yes, TV broadcasting is and recording is still everyday reality for me. The modern recorders record in 4K, use HDD instead of tape and record multiple channels, but the main principe is still the same. I started with to use streaming platforms in 2021 and I still use them only a bit. Even in 2023, I still live without Netflix, HBO MAX and Hulu, only with satelite TV, DVDs and a few free streaming platforms.
Watching your vid has been both incredibly fun and bittersweet. I love the 90's. I still watch Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Married With Children, Frasier and all the other awesome sitcoms from that time almost daily. I still play 90's games (SNES, NES & Gameboy) almost daily albeit via a retro emulation handheld (Miyoo Mini Plus) and recently I've been thinking a lot about why I struggle so much with modern life. I love my life and I love the people around me, but I feel like I don't fit in with modern media. Hearing your grandparents talk about this was great :) Anyway, thank you so much for making this video! It makes me feel better about a part of me still remaining in the past by enjoying older media.
What a great video. Ultimately, I miss the 90s because of all my friends and family who were still around. Most of them are gone now, but I am glad I have the memories.
The social aspect is gone. They really were a better time in many ways, but a lot of those ways involved interacting with other people also living in the 90s. The best that can be done now is to sort of live in an empty echo. That our technology was so limited but seemed to hold so much promise was frankly a driving force in how special everything felt. Nobody was a cell phone zombie. You actually had to interact with friends for meaningful entertainment.
I pretty much lived my life stuck in 90s technology up until about 2019 when I finally got my first smartphone. I think I was actually happier before the Internet age. I'm a 40 sum year old, and still have my VHS tapes, DVDs, have no streaming services, and have never played a video game online. As far as technology, I'm there bro.
Your segment with Bob Ross was comedy gold. I think a person (if it hasn't already been done) could have an entire channel just of him or herself painting along with Bob. In fact, that's the perfect name for the channel: _Painting Along With Bob!_
Great video! I was also born in 1994 so I have a lot of nostalgia for the 90s despite being so young then. Also your grandparents were a joy to watch recite the Oscar-mayer jingle
I want to legit say thank you, as I was watching this I realized I had forgotten to switch the laundry over and empty the dryer. The last thing my wife told me to do before she went to bed. Amazing timing.
A tip for next time, and not sure if you already did this - Bob coats his canvas with a thin coat of liquid white before every painting to create a wet working surface and he uses really thick, dry oil paint to go on top.
Bro, I be watching 90's commercials on youtube, then I started editing them back into the tv shows just to get the feels. I believe each commercial break was about 1-2 mins long (maybe 2.5). Wow, we were so impatient
@@Djdefinitionof though I can really let it take over and that’s what I don’t like. It becomes a “I wonder if I can live life as if it’s still the 90s/00s
Your painting turned out really well, especially for a first-time painter! I’d never guess it was your first time. The travel segment reminds me of The Amazing Race as they aren’t allowed to use smartphones (or any mobile phones at all) on the Race. This is why so many teams become so frustrated during self-driving challenges. Your grandparents are awesome.
People not being able to contact me whenever for an introvert is a blessing. Now I have to turn my phone on do not disturb mode, but peoples expectations are different. It's nice to tune out and not be in constant demand.
I'm 42, so I have very fond memories of the '90s, my "coming of age" decade. I still love 90s music and TV, and I call Y2K the biggest non-event in history. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time with the technology we have now and watch people be amazed.
The nineties were a handshake between the twentieth century and the twenty-first century. It's like you met two wonderful people, had fun with them, then lost one of them, and the other changed for the worse years later. I found this feeling about the nineties all over the world. I saw videos from Asia and Europe about it. It was a bilateral meeting and then ended... e-mail... and paper mail. Videos circulated with difficulty on the Internet... and on television. Newspapers, paper magazines and news websites. I will never forget that great feeling that we are accustomed to today, which is your feeling when you discovered the world of forums and groups, and that you can simply express yourself, your hobbies and interests, and share them with people. You will not have to wait for an editor's approval, and no admission tests in magazines and newspapers are more severe than university admission tests. Man, that feeling will stay with me until the last day.
He missed out on going to Blockbuster, hanging out in malls, reading newspapers and magazines cause they were the only news source you had. He missed out on recording songs off the radio, hanging up the phone to use the computer, calling only at night when the minutes were free, collecting physical things like marbles, yoyo's, cards. He missed out on making mix tapes for your loved ones, using the white pages, and the over all freedom we had in the 90's of not being judged or cancelled. Amazing time to be alive!
The mall was right down the road from the highschool. I was there everyday almost. I could play street fighter all day. Waiting my turn to compete. The mall was really the place to be back in the 90's. Man I miss them days.
That was awesome that people just showed up, sometimes you were doing something and a friend show up and share it with him/her, then another friend show up and we had fun, then we all had the idea to go for munchies, we sometimes find another friend and went to a park or visit another friend, then go somewhere else, sometimes one had to go, it was the back and forth of friends in the 90s.
I was born in 1988, and this video made me smile. My favorite part was seeing your grandparents. I agree wholeheartedly with how they view old commercials. Commercials used to be funny and cute, including the nightmare fuel that was that one Gusher's commercial (if you know, you know.) Now they're mostly gross and vile, vapid and pointless, or downright annoying. I hate the ones where people are dancing and singing in phamceudical commercials the most. The 90s had some bizarre ads, but trashy it was not. Today's ads are rancid, shameful garbage. I'll just stick with my Jingle for Goldfish, thanks.
This might sound really weird - and heck, it even sounds weird to me, But when everything on TV was scheduled, at a certain time - there was something exciting about anticipating it. On Saturday at 10 minutes to 8:00, Back to The Future is about to play. I'd have a buddy over there. We'd have talked on the phone, maybe an hour ago, from a phone attached to the wall, with a long cord (back then, that detail meant nothing, and I'd argue, still doesn't, but just re-creating the scene). Debating who should go to whose place. Whatever. Then he'd be over, and we'd just be excited. Not crazy excited, or anything. Just excited to watch the show, and it'd be playing in 10 minutes. I may have watched it many times already, but it's a favorite and who cares, it's on, and we love it. We'd endured another week of school. Exhausted from mundane junk. Looking forward to the movie all week. Joking about how stupid the commercials were. Just laughing, anticipating. Then the moment of truth, right on the hour - the suddenly the movie intro would start and the epic entrance music started to play. An event. Yeah!! 2 hours of tied-to-your-seat movie experience on your own couch. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate playing a movie anytime (and that's still crazy you can do that with virtually any movie now). But playing a movie like an event coming up, it was pretty darn fun and the anticipation made it more so.
The major issue is not living like you're in the 90s, but the cost of modern society making it impossible. Add in how the 90s was not focused on politics or wars, but instead a time in which we still have hope for the future, where it was very much the era in which we still believed we could be whatever we wanted while also having a society not completely focused on capital gain, but instead a higher focus on education, science, and the arts, and that's where it truly cannot be replicated.
I beg to differ with politics and war . P You had the gulf war , the Iraq war , the dissolution of USSR , the sub standards in many eastern European countries . 90s was good only for the west
This is an amazing falsification of what the 90s were about. A total fantasy. Appropriately, it sounds like false memories of 60s innocence and idealism some were spouting back in the 90s, and the 50s worship of the 1980s. I guess 30 years is the rolling forget-me-net.
Speaking of communication in the 90's, and today. In the 90's (and early 00's) people were kind of expecting that their friend wouldn't show up for any reason, so they didn't worry about it. Meanwhile nowadays we've got all these fancy smartphones, tablets, computers, and whatever, and people are still late or don't show up at all, and when you call or write to them two hours later, and they're like "Oh, I wasn't feeling well, so I went home". Yeah, thanks for wasting two hours of my life. 😒 As to television sitcoms, it's really no comparison. Some were better, some were worse. And canned laughter is still present and still annoying.
This was so guud! Hehe. And dont worry about the painting dude. I think it turned out pretty well! There are no mistakes. Only happy accidents. Oh, and you definitely deserve more subs btw!
I was born in the early-80s, and I remember living in the 90s. I dunno...something I remember about the 90s is how much people hated the 90s back then. My parents remembered the 60s and 70s kinda like how we remember the 90s now. But I had a lot of good memories of that time. I guess it's just relative.
Lol. I remember talking with a coworker, in 1998, about how much the 90s suck, and how it will never be thought of as the good old days. We were reminiscing about the 80s.
Best thing about the 90s you needed to have decent social skills didn't matter if you were shy or outgoing. The fact that you can schedule your car for maintenance or order a pizza using an app on your phone without even talking to someone in 2024 makes me realize why so many people have social anxiety. Edit: There is no way you have less than a 50k subscribers. The video quality and editing is great.
I was born in 1997, but even still, this video made me look back and think fondly on simpler times. VHS, our old Sony box TV, hours of playing outside, Saturday morning cartoons... 🥰
This video was lots of fun. I was a teen at the end of the 90s. It was a good time to be a kid in the States. You have great comedic timing and earned a subscription from this "90's kid."
I was 9 going on 10 when the 90's ended, my first movie I ever saw as a child was jurassic park at a drive in theater in my home town in 93, i got my first snes in 95 and it came with donkey kong country, the music of that game always throws me back to being a little kid in my families old house with the lights out staring at the glowing screen. I remember my dads old toyota's and his 77 K10 that he took us from Oregon to Idaho multipile times in (10 hour drive there) when my family shared property in the mountains in idaho, that was around 1997. I fell in love with square bodies in the 90's and i own one today. I still have the same old tube tv my family had from 93 that i played my snes on, and it still works today. My snes from 95 still works too. I remember sleeping on the living room floor in the early 90's while my parents watched fresh prince and Seinfeld, I remember growing up on Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead and Ah! Real Monsters. If your parents let you watch Terminator and Predator as a kid you were bad ass, and we all used to have group jokes and big laughs on the school bus everyday, we didnt have phones! It was a different time, and its like they say you really don't know what you have until its gone. The change just kind of happens and before you know it, you are looking back wondering how you got here...
I graduated in 98’ and definitely love and miss the 90’s! The 80’s were awesome too! Your video was amazing and made me tear up. Definitely bittersweet. 🦕📺❤
Ngl i really dig the dedication to the skits especially the y2k one lol i was 13 and paranoid i spent the last few hours of 1999 playing RE3 to beat it before the world shut off
What should I do next?🤷♂️
The 80's maybe?
The 70's!
Stand up comedy hehe
The 2000s. The beginning of the internet, GSM cell phones, movies on DVDs...
Build helms deep and dress up as an Uruk-Hai
The 90’s can never be replicated
- hanging out at the shopping malls
- meeting up at the arcades
- going to block buster and looking for movies
- calling friends on the telephone to make plans
- going to house parties
- watching movies at the cheap theatres for $2 + $2 happy meals
- playing snes with your friends at their house instead of online
- playing outdoor sports like basketball and football
- no social media
- skate parks and loitering
- comic book stores
You know that except for the Blockbuster and the movie tickets by $2, you can still do all the stuff that you mentioned, right?
@@tiago2189 not quite. These locations don’t exist in the numbers they used to. You would be surprised to find a decent arcade to go to within a 1 mile radius compared to in the 90s. There were about four arcades/gamer stores on a single block. Public open areas have also been reduced, we don’t have as many parks as we used to, movie theaters are closing down in droves due to streaming and malls have also been closing down because of online shopping. Even fast food restaurants have reduced in size because most people would rather order for delivery. We are no longer excited by new technological advances, we now expect them. And people don’t throw house parties anymore, most parties are now done on live streaming through social media. Also, not only have things become more expensive, they’ve also become more dangerous if we’re looking at statistics. So yes to some degree a lot of those things can still be done, but back then you had so many options, so many places, and you didn’t need a car or a bus to get to them.
You can literally do all that today, genius,
@@wilkinscoffee8979 i think that the point is: Yes he could probably do all the same things today, but it woud hit the same?
@@tiago2189 Arcades aren't anywhere nearly as common as they were in the 90s.
There was this feeling of fun and excitement that the 90's really seemed to capture. I miss those feelings.
The 90s buzz was so much fun. The attitude was, hey its the 90's yahoo!!!
Agreed. The 90's were full of anticipation and excitement for what the future could bring. As a teen (born in 1983), we honestly felt that technology would be able to help us do anything in the future and that the world would get better as a result. So much optimism and not division.
I was born in 88 so raised in the 90s my first job payed 5.40
The technology in the 90s was good, but not too good, and didn't enslave us like it does today
When I see those 90s nostalgia videos it makes me miss those times to the point of feeling nauseous....sounds weird and stupid but true
I really thought you were a huge youtuber while watching this video, keep up the good work dude!

Me too! I bet this channel is going. To blow up. Awesome video.
Great video. I’m a 36 y.o. veteran, dying from a neuro-autoimmune disease. I lament for the 90s and just days of promise and more simplicity. My mom was still alive too. What I would give…
Those were good times, when people where truly connected and family was the reason to be alive and to prosper, thank you for your service and my condolences, hope everything goes acording to Gods plan with you and your family🙏🏼
God bless you 🙏🏽
I`m 60,try doing what I do and be thankful you`re not going to be alive to see what the future brings,because if it is anything like the 2020s it will be very grim indeed.We`re better off out of it!
I swear if I could get time machines I would give it to those people that have lost loved ones.

Dude that painting was pretty darn good for your first try I'm impressed.
That’s what I was gonna say! Bob Ross sold video tapes to follow along with. But I think his real appeal was watching HIM paint with that unique personality
I think so too, given enough time, this dude could make some good paintings.
I agree...the painting 🎨 was actually not bad 👍.
that painting is wonderful. the impression I got from bob was there is no right or wrong when it comes to painting. do what you think is right and never be afraid to put some happy little trees and bushes everywhere

I was in high school from 1990 - 1994 and I can honestly say the 90's were a great time to be alive. Don't get me wrong, the 80's were great too. However, the 90's had a special blend of technology and old school ways that no other decade had. Home computers and the internet started taking off in late 1993 and by 1995 about half the people you knew had a computer in their home and if they didn't they could easily call a friend and get access to one. Video games and the internet were thriving and becoming better and better everyday. I got my 1st cell phone in 1994. With all that said and with all the advancements with the technology at that time, we hadn't got to the point of letting the technology take over us like in today's world. This is probably because the internet and computers were still viewed as something that wasn't a necessity and was still novel. And of course smartphones were still year's away. Today the internet is viewed as a necessity because the way we do everything in today's world makes it extremely difficult to get things done without the internet. Everything from paying bills to renewing the tags for your car is done through apps or online now. There is a lot of nostalgia for the 1990's, but I honestly think it's for good reason. Can anyone think of any other decade where we had cellphones, home computers, and the internet, but society was still social in real life and humble?? I can't
I went to HS in those same years also and your absolutely right!
I mean 2000s were the same for me. I didn't get a touch screen phone till 2013. I wasn't a slave to the internet. I even drove to Florida from NY and back alone at 18 in 2004 with an Atlas.
Hs years were 92-96, and yes, your comment was and is extremely accurate
@@GoldenStateOfKindDude, you seriously agree with that person who stated by "1995 about half the people you knew had a computer in their home." Are you kidding me, for real? At the beginning of 1995 only 34% of the US population had a single computer in their home. At the end of 1995 it went up by 4 to 39% which is literally not "about half" at the beginning or end of 1995.
Back in 1995, it was slightly over ⅓ (one third) of the familys population who had a computer. Most people don't even realize there was a Windows 3.1 since 95 came out fall of that year. By the end of 1998, only 42% of the population had computers, and Windows 98 was released publicly during late June of the same year.
It was not until the year 2000 that 51% of households in the United States owned at least one computer, which was the first time the number surpassed 50%. At that time, Windows Me came out retail in September, also a horrible system.
@@dmraven why are you coming for me and not the op?
Pretty weird
I was born 1970 and no matter what era you remember best, we all have fond memories and memories we would prefer to forget. Fun video.
I do miss the 90s almost everyday.
I always love finding small channels with hidden gems like these
Same
I'm 37 so basically my entire childhood into my pre-teen years took place in the 90s. Times felt simpler only because we were kids back then. I'm sure the adults of the 90s had a much different perspective. Your grandparents "don't remember much about the 90s" because it wasn't their golden years like it was for Millennials. For them it was just another decade.
Back in the 90s, I remember there was a lot of 50s and 60s nostalgia. Tons of hippie and disco references in tv shows, modern remakes of old cartoons and tv shows, etc. Today, it's all about 90s and 2000s nostalgia and now that Millenials are in their 30s and presumably involved in media and marketing jobs, we've done away with the 50s and 60s stuff and replaced it with 90s nostalgia.
It's just a cycle every generation goes through. We just miss our childhood era.
I bet you by the time Gen Alpha becomes adults, nobody is going to even think twice about anything before 2010.
I think you're quite right on this. I always thought that this was just a repetitive emotionnal/affective bias that every generation reproduce. Yet, I don't feel concerned because I really think that the things get more and more positive (contrary to a widely held idea) so even if there are still so much problems and issues to solve, I think our society is showing a lot of signs of an overall progress in the state of minds. And we also experience that with a huge technological progress (I'm talking about the usefull one) and a a spiritual awakening that is on the rise.
So I don't feel nostalgic. In the 2000's and even the begining of the 2010's, it was still a very materialistic world with no real intention to create a more resilient and introspective lifestyle AND without such usefull techological tools that facilitate our tasks in the daily life. So no nostalgy for me, except maybe for the better reliability of the cars and for old good memories here and there.
Yeah, i'm 39 so I feel you and 100% agree.. It cracks me up when people around my age talk about how horrible things are or the movies and music suck etc etc.. Literally every single thing my Dad talked about being shitty was great to us and no surprise his Dad was EXACTLY the same as well in there respective era's.. No shit Mainstream music isn't going to be geared towards late 30's to early 40's grown ass adults haha.. There's still endless great music and movies being made for us to like for the most part you just have to dig a bit deeper but nothing will ever quite match the 80's to early 2000's Music and Movies especially considering we have an unmovable crater sized nostalgic bubble over it all. If I could still just hang out with Friends, not worry about Work, eat and drink anything and everything I wanted etc. etc. with zero repercussions i'd probably be loving the current era way more as well. I never understood how this is so difficult for most to grasp.
I'm a couple months late to your comment. I'm Gen X and was in my 20's during the 90's. Paying my own rent and living on my own. Life was better then. Affordable rent, music was great, 3rd spaces, cars you could work on yourself, more human to human connection. The internet was a novelty, it didn't dominate your life. (Apps to do shit or pay bills) Real hope that the future was going to be great. I'd go back in a second.
Yes, generally we tend to view our childhood years as “home” and romanticise over it. But there are certainly periods of time that are consider better or worse across generations.
I know plenty of people that are now 70-90 years old that considers the 80s and 90s as the best decades even though they were adults. They might not romanticise over video games and pop music as much as the younger people though, there were other parts that made it a good time for them.
Damn this is my second video after watching the dunking one, and I gotta say despite the lack of views you got some very original and well planned ideas. Your videos are very entertaining and engaging, hope you find more success in the future which you will if you keep this up
Probably one of the best youtube videos I've watched in a while. Even taking recency bias out of the picture, this just hits different.
I was a Senior in High School in 1996 and I can tell you, the 90's were exactly what we thought they were, AMAZING! Dating back then was pure awesome. TV was great. Games were great. Movies were the best. Hell, I loved the 80's but the 90's were my "life". Blair Witch, yea, saw that a few times in the theater! Man what a decade. Great vid btw.
I was born in 83
And yea da 90s was hella decade to live in
& I’m glad I was part of it

Back when I was a senior, this kind of world we live in today was never even in my concept Auto tragedy how horrible it’s getting and very sad
So true
The 20s will not be better than the 90s. we're already half way through and look at the absolute state of it haha.
Awesome video man. You tried and did a pretty good job. Maybe if we all did it at once it could work!
When people say the 20s they normally mean the 1920s, far as the 2020s go these ain't the roaring twenties they're the crashing twenties.
The 80s and 90s and beginning 2000s ( 2000 to 2005 ) were the GREATEST periods in this century
i would say 1995 to 2005 was the best. even tho the 80s were great too. yes i'm THAT old lol

I'm 50 now. So I grew up my young adult life in the 90s. I think it was the best era for me. I was right into computers then. Remember Duke nukem 3D, that was huge when it came out. Now I hear young people say " The 90s was back in the olden days" lol. Just sempt like yesterday.
Duke was cool. Doom and Sims too
As a 2000’s kid, I want to try living like the 90s now! 😃
It was a great time to be young ❤ Good times.
as a 2003 baby i'll admit the 90s has some perks but i still rather relive my childhood of the 2000s-2010s again
Me too man
I’d go back in a heartbeat. My family actually talked to one another (and most were alive), times were simpler and I actually was happier.
I grew up in the 90s. Was a glorious time to be alive. Born on the cusp of the end of the 80's...learned to thrive in the 90s hahahaha. Was amazing. Thanks for these videos and the nostalgia trip. Also your grandparents are adorable hahaha
Who still thinks the 4:3 is still the better format for filming and photographs, give a thumbs up, please.
Yep
sometimes. i use several formats
Absolutely! Do I get bonus points for writing this from a modern computer hooked up to an old 4:3 monitor? 🙂
@@sebastianp.279 Nah, I did the same. With modern adapters the g o 4:3 VGA can easily be combined with the normal GTX 1060. The real question is: Why you have a 4:3 at home? For me it is because working with the view of video cutting software is much easier on a 4:3 ratio and a second 16:9 next to it.
@@FrauWNiemand I never understood the need for screen width, it doesn't make sense. Our workflows usually require us to scroll top-down; like scrolling through a website or a word document. If you think about it, monitors should be higher instead of broader, shouldn't they?
So I use my 4:3 because it gets the job done. Why would I throw out a perfectly working monitor to replace it with something that wouldn't do things any better?
In the 90's and before, you arranged a time and place to meet. You had a lifestyle that meant no last minute changes because you know it wasn't possible to tell anyone that you have changed it. Pagers weren't that common. Only Drs and people like that had them. 90's are easy to live: I've pretty much never left them. No mobile phone, still buy CDs (no streaming!), still use paper maps when going to new long distant places, pay cash for everything. Especially of you enjoy analogue hobbies like painting!
I don`t do the streaming thing either,and still LOVE all my old records & tapes too.
Well made, entertaining, and actually felt like a 90's movie clip. Great work.
I was born in '83 and I have tons of memory.
Our society was not as sick as it is now. No school shootings, people in general were friendlier.
Life was simpler, slower and people had more patience. We had no cell phones, kids found 'true' friends during summer camps, and my best piece of tech was a walkman in the early '90s.
Our parents let us play outside and there were way less DANGER and WARNING signs. HotWheels, LEGO, GI Joe action figures, Transformers, VHS cassettes. Cartoons were cool, music was better, movies were awesome.
I remember out first PC computer in 1993. My dad allowed us to play only on the weekend for 30 mins/day. My dad and I used to play Gunboat together (It was a PC game and I was the gunner because it was easier)
There was no social media, Netflix or internet (at least the beginning of the decade) but we had a lot of fun! People cared a lot more about each other.
Family vacations were great. Took lots of toys and my dad was super annoyed :) BBQ parties with neighbors and many more.
We spent a lot of time on the beach during summer :)
I think people were more positive about the future.
Man, I'm about a decade older than you and nostalgia has been weighing on me heavily the last few years, especially when thinking about the 90s. Your video felt fun and wholesome, that feeling I associate with childhood from that decade. Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed it.
You should have recorded Bob on VHS so you could pause. That's the true experience.
yep i would have totally recorded that on VHS and my painting would have been 100% worse too lol!
10k views?? Bro this is a great video. Deserves much more. I know a lot of effort went into this man. Killed it 💯💯
Man, I was a teenager in the 90s and the one thing I can say is not true is people just showing up at your friends houses. We would always call first on the phone, at least where I grew up. Same goes with meeting up with people. We would usually call right before we left to say we're on our way, so there would be no chance of standing people up. I never had a pager and never had an issue personally. Also, we would usually ask for detailed directions to where we're going and use the maps as a backup. It's so funny how much trust we put into our friends to give us good directions! Phenomenal video man.
Nah we would 'knock on' where u showed up, knocked the door and asked their parents if they could play out, so totally true, you might not have had that but our little community sure did! And the parents ALWAYS knew where we were, miss that
Most my friends lived on same road
AKA dead end road
So for me it was no trouble to go to friends houses & I pretty much knew if they were home or not
I didn’t even have to call them I just showed up
1 friend lived next door
1 friend lived cuple house from me
The other 2 lived at end of street
My neighbor hood was family road
Aka aunts uncles grandparents of my friend lived on same street & nother family set lived on my street then my neighbor cross road it was her & her family livin bhind her
So yea my dead end road was a little village of sorts
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But I do miss my days in da 90s livin on dat street
And da friends I grew up with on dat street are still friends/associates
Even da family members I’m still friends/associates wit
We aka all us neighbors considered each other as family members I’m some kind of way cause we all looked out for each other
I’m assuming they were talking more about kids in bicycles doing that.
In the 80's "calling for" your friends, aka showing up at their house to ask them to come out, was definitely more of a thing. Adults would "drop by," like for tea or something. I think that culture had started to fade in the 90's and people mostly called first. Then again, living in a small neighborhood with young kids, their friends would sometimes knock on our door to ask them to come outside so maybe it's more of an age thing? I don't know but I hope kids are still doing that. It was something I really loved about childhood.
From the age of 8 or 9 the only thing my parents knew about where I was is that I was either IN,or I was OUT!!!...I would walk out the front door and be back by 6 o`clock...in between I was out there exploring the wonderful world of London in the 1970s.

Thank you for the support 🙏
Wow that video was such a unique style, flowed smoothly and had great attention to detail, well researched with clever humour, great camera work and wow, it really stood out from any other video I've watched recently. Honestly.
Great video. As a 40
Year old I recall the 90s well. I will say though, the one thing you can’t duplicate, unfortunately, is the lack of understanding of what would come next. You have perspective of how it’s different now. Dealing with a lot of stuff back then was done just in the moment. Some of it sucked looking back but at the time it was just normal. I didn’t fret about not having a smart phone as I didn’t know what that was and couldn’t have conceived of it. Internet was great but I couldn’t have understood how much better it would get. I probably spend more time now wondering how tech will evolve in the future than I ever did then.
I’m 32, and I agree with you, although you’ve got a few years on me. I think technology, specifically smart phones, have crippled us. Having all the answers to every question in our pockets, being able to call anybody we want at almost any moment, as long as there’s signal, it has ruined us. When the phones go down, or when the internet goes down, we fall apart. Our cell phones were down for two days where I live this past weekend, and my personal wifi was out as well. We about worried ourselves sick thinking if anything happens we can’t check on each other, blah blah blah. Of course nothing happened. We weren’t stranded with a vehicle breakdown. We didn’t have to suddenly google the state bird of Nebraska, nothing happened. We’re so comfortable feeling like we’re in complete control that we go to pieces when something disrupts it, and oh how easily it can be disrupted. No wonder we’re all on anxiety pills.
I'll be 44 in a few months and yeah its not quite the same as living in the moment back then. I was the class of '99 and I sure as hell didn't know that the entire word would dramatically change a couple years later with 9/11. It's like I got to have a year of adulthood before everything went to hell, friends went to war, etc.
The point he makes about his computer not being much worse than a computer now is definitely true though, everything is just incrementally slowly getting better but back then new technology was night and day better. I went from having a 1980s PC to a 1990s PC and it was just incredibly better in every way only 5 years later, now my PC is 5 years old and I don't even care.
I have to concur. We didn't need a new this/that ever 2-5 years. If it broke. It broke. But you never got a "needs firmware update " on everything.
LOOOOL
When they invent time travel a lot of people will go back to live in those days and STAY there because for a lot of people back then was WAY better than the hell of today.
WOW! THIS IS AMAZING! The amount of work put into it and the quality is astounding! Great work!
despite being born in 1999 ive become obsessed with shows from 90's and early 2000's. back then shows actually felt realistic meanwhile most shows nowadays feel like the same overhyped bullshit over and over again

The only problem with "experiments" like this is that you can't re-create the social aspect of this, which is a huge part of what makes each era what it is. Unless you get like 4 or 5 friends in on this to do the same thing, all you can really do is hang around by yourself, but even then, that's just a hand full of people.
Loved the fake commercials in this haha.
You cannot recreate an era.
😅😂🤣 I laughed so hard during the painting 😂😂😂
Dude I sucked using those map books!
Let’s bring the best parts of the 90’s to the present!
Great video. The 90’s were special the 80s were fun too! The 90’s were a gigantic mix of old versus new technology. The Cold War was over and the US was on top. We went from 8-bit gaming to 3D graphics and the PS1 in one decade. Cellphones came in a bag and large as a brick and ended the decade with it being truly pocket sized. Smoking sections were larger than non-smoking sections. Movies were changing and epic and malls were at the height of cool. Internet started with no graphics to full fledge internet with music streaming. It was still a time where you went outside too and had fun outdoors well into the evening.
I was born in 82, but grew up in the 90s. It's so weird to see how old this stuff looks now when back then, it was cutting edge. It's also fascinating to see someone like you who was very young in that era, trying to recreate it. That part where you were trying to find your friend down in the basement, I actually thought you were trying to recreate the Blair Witch Project, which at that time was the hottest movie and such a new concept of that time
I was a young adult.
I graduated high school in 99 and this brought back so many memories! Awesome video and beautifully edited too. Kudos! +1 sub also. :)
Looking at world events and the economy after 2000 hit, maybe the ball dropping was the slow end of the world as we knew it.
Though the 90's was the start of the digital age, the 2010s was the digital age, we are now entering the surveillance age in the 20s.
These kind of things have a huge impact on how the world runs and operates and redefines the threats and dangers of harm, disruption, and destruction.
Yes, TV broadcasting is and recording is still everyday reality for me. The modern recorders record in 4K, use HDD instead of tape and record multiple channels, but the main principe is still the same. I started with to use streaming platforms in 2021 and I still use them only a bit. Even in 2023, I still live without Netflix, HBO MAX and Hulu, only with satelite TV, DVDs and a few free streaming platforms.
Watching your vid has been both incredibly fun and bittersweet. I love the 90's. I still watch Seinfeld, 3rd Rock From The Sun, Married With Children, Frasier and all the other awesome sitcoms from that time almost daily. I still play 90's games (SNES, NES & Gameboy) almost daily albeit via a retro emulation handheld (Miyoo Mini Plus) and recently I've been thinking a lot about why I struggle so much with modern life. I love my life and I love the people around me, but I feel like I don't fit in with modern media. Hearing your grandparents talk about this was great :)
Anyway, thank you so much for making this video! It makes me feel better about a part of me still remaining in the past by enjoying older media.
What a great video. Ultimately, I miss the 90s because of all my friends and family who were still around.
Most of them are gone now, but I am glad I have the memories.
wow, you did a really good job with this, it's got a crazy amount of detail and work put into it
The social aspect is gone. They really were a better time in many ways, but a lot of those ways involved interacting with other people also living in the 90s. The best that can be done now is to sort of live in an empty echo. That our technology was so limited but seemed to hold so much promise was frankly a driving force in how special everything felt. Nobody was a cell phone zombie. You actually had to interact with friends for meaningful entertainment.
I pretty much lived my life stuck in 90s technology up until about 2019 when I finally got my first smartphone. I think I was actually happier before the Internet age. I'm a 40 sum year old, and still have my VHS tapes, DVDs, have no streaming services, and have never played a video game online. As far as technology, I'm there bro.
Your segment with Bob Ross was comedy gold. I think a person (if it hasn't already been done) could have an entire channel just of him or herself painting along with Bob. In fact, that's the perfect name for the channel: _Painting Along With Bob!_
Great video! I was also born in 1994 so I have a lot of nostalgia for the 90s despite being so young then. Also your grandparents were a joy to watch recite the Oscar-mayer jingle
Man the skits in this were phenomenal! Lots of dedication to recreate the 90s, great work man 🔥
I want to legit say thank you, as I was watching this I realized I had forgotten to switch the laundry over and empty the dryer. The last thing my wife told me to do before she went to bed. Amazing timing.
This video is made so well! I love the idea and the music that played occasionally was great :)
I’m an 80s kid, was a teen and in my early 20’s in the 90’s, graduated high school in ‘94.
I was born in 1977 and I can say I enjoyed the 80s much more than the 90s…
I graduated in 94 I only remember the last half of the 80s
A tip for next time, and not sure if you already did this - Bob coats his canvas with a thin coat of liquid white before every painting to create a wet working surface and he uses really thick, dry oil paint to go on top.
Wow this a crazy well done video! You knocked this out of the park. I love the nostalgia, and I love your Maw maw and paw paw.
I can remember my first time using a chat room. I was beyond blown away that I was actually communicating with people from around the world.
dude the quality of this is so insane. well done! so cool.
Bro, I be watching 90's commercials on youtube, then I started editing them back into the tv shows just to get the feels. I believe each commercial break was about 1-2 mins long (maybe 2.5). Wow, we were so impatient
Dude me too I love watching 90s and 2000s commercials while I enjoy a beer it really takes u back. Good to see I ain’t the only one
@@Djdefinitionof though I can really let it take over and that’s what I don’t like. It becomes a “I wonder if I can live life as if it’s still the 90s/00s
super entertaining dude! I really enjoyed that!
Thank you🙌
The Last Great Decade.
True!!.....But the 60s and 70s and 80s were even better!
@@mjh5437the 90s were better
cap, stop being a boomer, i was born in 2003 & can confirm the 2010s were the last great decade (so far)
@@GTChristmas22222000s & 2010s were better*
Your painting turned out really well, especially for a first-time painter! I’d never guess it was your first time.
The travel segment reminds me of The Amazing Race as they aren’t allowed to use smartphones (or any mobile phones at all) on the Race. This is why so many teams become so frustrated during self-driving challenges.
Your grandparents are awesome.
People not being able to contact me whenever for an introvert is a blessing. Now I have to turn my phone on do not disturb mode, but peoples expectations are different. It's nice to tune out and not be in constant demand.
I'm 42, so I have very fond memories of the '90s, my "coming of age" decade. I still love 90s music and TV, and I call Y2K the biggest non-event in history. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time with the technology we have now and watch people be amazed.
Wow, so , your born 1982, ok me 1983. Time just flys
13:15 now this is like analog horror
great video dude, enjoyable to watch, I also didn't realize how small of a creator you are!
The nineties were a handshake between the twentieth century and the twenty-first century.
It's like you met two wonderful people, had fun with them, then lost one of them, and the other changed for the worse years later.
I found this feeling about the nineties all over the world. I saw videos from Asia and Europe about it.
It was a bilateral meeting and then ended... e-mail... and paper mail. Videos circulated with difficulty on the Internet... and on television. Newspapers, paper magazines and news websites.
I will never forget that great feeling that we are accustomed to today, which is your feeling when you discovered the world of forums and groups, and that you can simply express yourself, your hobbies and interests, and share them with people. You will not have to wait for an editor's approval, and no admission tests in magazines and newspapers are more severe than university admission tests. Man, that feeling will stay with me until the last day.
The gold finger ride off at the skatepark was so nostalgic. Love it.
Whole video was awesome.
Look on the bright side! At least ChadGPT didn't exist in the 90's!
There's always a silver lining😂
Professional video I hope you get lots of subscribers soon
Bro that hand grind killed me so good hahahaha love your content just found ya tonight 🙌 much love from Australia 🇦🇺
This video is a delight! Creativity flourishes in "boredom" and its evident in this video.
He missed out on going to Blockbuster, hanging out in malls, reading newspapers and magazines cause they were the only news source you had. He missed out on recording songs off the radio, hanging up the phone to use the computer, calling only at night when the minutes were free, collecting physical things like marbles, yoyo's, cards. He missed out on making mix tapes for your loved ones, using the white pages, and the over all freedom we had in the 90's of not being judged or cancelled. Amazing time to be alive!
The mall was right down the road from the highschool. I was there everyday almost. I could play street fighter all day. Waiting my turn to compete. The mall was really the place to be back in the 90's. Man I miss them days.
That was awesome that people just showed up, sometimes you were doing something and a friend show up and share it with him/her, then another friend show up and we had fun, then we all had the idea to go for munchies, we sometimes find another friend and went to a park or visit another friend, then go somewhere else, sometimes one had to go, it was the back and forth of friends in the 90s.
Found a new gem of a channel - loved this video
I was born in 1988, and this video made me smile. My favorite part was seeing your grandparents. I agree wholeheartedly with how they view old commercials. Commercials used to be funny and cute, including the nightmare fuel that was that one Gusher's commercial (if you know, you know.) Now they're mostly gross and vile, vapid and pointless, or downright annoying. I hate the ones where people are dancing and singing in phamceudical commercials the most.
The 90s had some bizarre ads, but trashy it was not. Today's ads are rancid, shameful garbage. I'll just stick with my Jingle for Goldfish, thanks.
One of the greatest videos on TH-cam 🙌🏾
This might sound really weird - and heck, it even sounds weird to me,
But when everything on TV was scheduled, at a certain time - there was something exciting about anticipating it.
On Saturday at 10 minutes to 8:00, Back to The Future is about to play. I'd have a buddy over there. We'd have talked on the phone, maybe an hour ago, from a phone attached to the wall, with a long cord (back then, that detail meant nothing, and I'd argue, still doesn't, but just re-creating the scene). Debating who should go to whose place. Whatever.
Then he'd be over, and we'd just be excited. Not crazy excited, or anything. Just excited to watch the show, and it'd be playing in 10 minutes. I may have watched it many times already, but it's a favorite and who cares, it's on, and we love it. We'd endured another week of school. Exhausted from mundane junk. Looking forward to the movie all week.
Joking about how stupid the commercials were. Just laughing, anticipating. Then the moment of truth, right on the hour - the suddenly the movie intro would start and the epic entrance music started to play. An event. Yeah!! 2 hours of tied-to-your-seat movie experience on your own couch.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate playing a movie anytime (and that's still crazy you can do that with virtually any movie now). But playing a movie like an event coming up, it was pretty darn fun and the anticipation made it more so.
The major issue is not living like you're in the 90s, but the cost of modern society making it impossible. Add in how the 90s was not focused on politics or wars, but instead a time in which we still have hope for the future, where it was very much the era in which we still believed we could be whatever we wanted while also having a society not completely focused on capital gain, but instead a higher focus on education, science, and the arts, and that's where it truly cannot be replicated.
I beg to differ with politics and war . P
You had the gulf war , the Iraq war , the dissolution of USSR , the sub standards in many eastern European countries . 90s was good only for the west
This is an amazing falsification of what the 90s were about. A total fantasy. Appropriately, it sounds like false memories of 60s innocence and idealism some were spouting back in the 90s, and the 50s worship of the 1980s. I guess 30 years is the rolling forget-me-net.
Speaking of communication in the 90's, and today. In the 90's (and early 00's) people were kind of expecting that their friend wouldn't show up for any reason, so they didn't worry about it. Meanwhile nowadays we've got all these fancy smartphones, tablets, computers, and whatever, and people are still late or don't show up at all, and when you call or write to them two hours later, and they're like "Oh, I wasn't feeling well, so I went home". Yeah, thanks for wasting two hours of my life. 😒
As to television sitcoms, it's really no comparison. Some were better, some were worse. And canned laughter is still present and still annoying.
Thank You for this!!! It’s 2024 and I’m 40 now but still stuck in the 90’s
This was so guud! Hehe. And dont worry about the painting dude. I think it turned out pretty well! There are no mistakes. Only happy accidents.
Oh, and you definitely deserve more subs btw!
only 9k subs??? this level of creativity is deserving so sm more, awesome video!
I was born in the early-80s, and I remember living in the 90s. I dunno...something I remember about the 90s is how much people hated the 90s back then. My parents remembered the 60s and 70s kinda like how we remember the 90s now. But I had a lot of good memories of that time. I guess it's just relative.
Lol. I remember talking with a coworker, in 1998, about how much the 90s suck, and how it will never be thought of as the good old days. We were reminiscing about the 80s.
I guess they just hated life.
I don’t remember anyone saying that they hated the 90s back then to be honest. People were just living life.
This was very entertaining and deep, too. Thank you!
Best thing about the 90s you needed to have decent social skills didn't matter if you were shy or outgoing. The fact that you can schedule your car for maintenance or order a pizza using an app on your phone without even talking to someone in 2024 makes me realize why so many people have social anxiety.
Edit: There is no way you have less than a 50k subscribers. The video quality and editing is great.
Your grandparents are too old .. I turned 18 and 1991.. the music the movies the game consoles the Internet.. it was incredible
I was born in 1997, but even still, this video made me look back and think fondly on simpler times. VHS, our old Sony box TV, hours of playing outside, Saturday morning cartoons... 🥰
This video was lots of fun. I was a teen at the end of the 90s. It was a good time to be a kid in the States. You have great comedic timing and earned a subscription from this "90's kid."
I was 9 going on 10 when the 90's ended, my first movie I ever saw as a child was jurassic park at a drive in theater in my home town in 93, i got my first snes in 95 and it came with donkey kong country, the music of that game always throws me back to being a little kid in my families old house with the lights out staring at the glowing screen. I remember my dads old toyota's and his 77 K10 that he took us from Oregon to Idaho multipile times in (10 hour drive there) when my family shared property in the mountains in idaho, that was around 1997. I fell in love with square bodies in the 90's and i own one today. I still have the same old tube tv my family had from 93 that i played my snes on, and it still works today. My snes from 95 still works too. I remember sleeping on the living room floor in the early 90's while my parents watched fresh prince and Seinfeld, I remember growing up on Ren & Stimpy, Beavis & Butthead and Ah! Real Monsters. If your parents let you watch Terminator and Predator as a kid you were bad ass, and we all used to have group jokes and big laughs on the school bus everyday, we didnt have phones! It was a different time, and its like they say you really don't know what you have until its gone. The change just kind of happens and before you know it, you are looking back wondering how you got here...
The effort you put into this really shows... Wow! Great video!
This deserves wayyy more views. Wonderful ❤
9:58 Your grandparents are too cute ❤! 52 years wow 😮 that is definitely a blessing, I love it!
I graduated in 98’ and definitely love and miss the 90’s! The 80’s were awesome too! Your video was amazing and made me tear up. Definitely bittersweet. 🦕📺❤
This was a great video man 👏🏽 you keep putting up these types of videos, you'll have a TH-cam plaque in no time, keep up the good work 🙏🏽
I was 20 when the 90’s ended. Gen X forever!
Ngl i really dig the dedication to the skits especially the y2k one lol i was 13 and paranoid i spent the last few hours of 1999 playing RE3 to beat it before the world shut off
Lol, pagers eh? We did actually have cellphones in the mid to late 90's.
Not everyone did though, especially if you were a broke teenager.
If we had TH-cam in the 90s it would be so amazing. TH-cam is one of the best inventions of the modern era
