Ever heard of something called "The Real World?"
I'm not saying that the 90's didn't have reality t.v shows, everything I said wasn't necessarily specific to one decade. I'm talking about it's prominence. There are a plethora of reality shows now a days.

We can thank the 90's for that ;)

Man, in a month when my kid comes, I am teaching him how to play outside. He is not getting a cell phone until he is in an afterschool sports program in junior high or above, and he is going to learn how to use his imagination.

We need to fix this problem with the current generation.

I never got the opportunity to play all of those. Single parent family. If he wants to play hockey, I will be there as soon as his feet fit in skates. I already bought a helmet for him lol

Lacrosse is awesome. I'm not sure how prevalent it is in the Maritimes though (that's where you're at right?), its so-so here in Montreal. generally, its a a fall season sport. He won't be left wanting for sports, he'll have plenty to choose from.

Hell nah. 90s had like the best cartoons, rivaled by the early 00s. Dude saying 80s had better cartoons is crazy.

90s was also the rise of electronic music. I wish Jungle is as big now as it was then. Hip hop was also better.
This could not be more true about hip hop
 
90s were the best, literally everything was better imo. We live in a generation now where people think the Harlem shake is the most hilarious thing ever, 2 chainz is the best rapper of all time, and Justin Bieber is still famous lol. Btw dubstep was around in the 90s but it actually sounded like music.
 
90's were a good time. Sure it had it's low points but what decade didn't have bad crap we'd rather forget in favor of the good stuff?

Is this gonna be one of those threads where everyone circle jerks about the 90's and glosses over the shit that happened in it too?
