Watching later 90s-early 2000s movies is depressing.

[我需要阴部]

Watching rush hour, jurassic park, some other random hong kong and japanese shows from the late 90s to early 2000s is depressing. It seemed everything was so much better. Stable economy, fair dating, good movies, good cars, good jobs, affordable housing. I will never able to experience those things instead my teen years were wasted because of covid... I am now 20 and I feel like I missed out on a lot....

You’re romanticizing it.

i probably am I guess it the grass is greener on the other side. But surely the parts about a stable job, stable economy, affordable housing isnt wrong right?

 

[apocalypse]

There's been a massive decay of society in the last 15 years. It fills me with rage to think about it.

There were redeeming features but you had 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Dot Com Crash.

The US economy has really skyrocketed in the last ten years too. Used to be similar size to Eurozone but has surpassed it now.

Median income is higher.

i wont say that those things were not bad but compared to what we have today it's so bullshit man. You had literal fast food workers being able to live decent lives back then. Wealth inequality wasn't so bad back then as it is today. It's so dumb boomers fucked everything up.

Median US income has gone up.
America is one of the few places with sustained wage growth.

It’s one of those countries where if you’re from a poor background it’s shit but the median guy has a higher income and standard of living.

I don’t know about Australia.
America has ridiculous purchasing power though with land depending on the state.

But yes it has got worse, on a national level.

Everything was better pre 2007 it’s true

its messed up man i dont care what wars, 911 you have to agree quality of life and stability was much better back then compared to now. Yes there were issue back then but it's stupid to say that society and culture hasnt been degrading since 2008 and got even worse because of covid most users wouldnt even be here if it wasnt for those lockdowns

I think it was probably better but still over romanticized.

There are metrics where quality of life has objectively improved.
Granted, housing is a serious issue.

Watch movies from the 90/80s makes me calm, everything was at a slower pace back then

50' & 60' in usa were no joke the tutorial mode for most folks
Europę was licking wounds after war and you fuckers started ruling the world fr
The good times are over for quite some time, but it's not linear it's the best now in the countries that are in DEVELOPED (not developing) state for like 10years max, so it's not rotten to the core like western capitalism in general... Big things coming & new world order will be set after confrontation sadly

Modern movies are utter shit, a single movie like matrix 1 or the terminator destroy every modern movie.
