Certainly the 90s were more stable and prosperous for more people than today, but to say those were the good old days means you would have to ignore:
- Extreme urban decay
- Unchecked police violence against minorities
- Vile homophobia in the mainstream and no recognition at all of trans people
- The rise of commodified suburban housing, stores, and restaurants
- Our government’s Imperial ambition becoming completely unchecked in the wake of the fall of the Soviet Union
There were never good old days.
