During the 90s [millennials](millennial.md) (also called gen Y) were born, as well as some of the oldest [zoomers](zoomer.md). The decade was characterized for example by sagging trousers, loose and torn clothes in general, jeans and hoodies, baseball caps turned backwards, vibrant pastel [colors](color.md), optimistic and cheerful mood, [real life](irl.md) friends and sleepovers, [Tamagotchi](tamagotchi.md) and [Pokemon](pokemon.md), cool [digital](digital.md) watches (non-smart), [GameBoy](gameboy.md), [CRT](crt.md) monitors, [floppy](floppy.md) disks, ball [mice](mouse.md), archaic [Internet](internet.md) and [web](www.md) 1.0 through slow dial-up, cassette tapes and walkmans { is it walkmans or walkmen lol? ~drummyfish }, bizarre button cellphones, phone booths in streets, boybands, MTV music, movies on [VHS](vhs.md) (and VHS rental stores), soulful non-[furry](furry.md) cartoons aired only early on Saturday mornings and many other wonderful things.

So, from the [European](europe.md) viewpoint, here is a short summary of why 90s were so freaking awesome:

- Cold war just ended, [Soviet Union](ussr.md) dissolved and so came a relief from the nuclear war threat, people got relaxed and, importantly, many countries previously under pseudocommunist totalitarian regimes gained freedom from it and opened to the world. This created a very rare and brief moment in time when people were freed from an oppressive regime but [capitalism](capitalism.md) didn't have yet enough time to enslave them again -- people still kept the good things from (at least what was called) socialism such as 100% free education, 100% free healthcare, old age pensions, free public toilets and so on. They also kept the socialist mindset of caring about others, people didn't see others as their enemies, they were kind of caring and had some empathy, they knew [money](money.md) was evil etc. The newly gained freedom gave people a lot of joy and hope. [21st century](21st_century.md) would of course change this very soon, capitalism would go on to destroy absolutely everything in under about 20 years, Europe would be joined to the USA and by now everything is lost.

- A lot of amazing [art](art.md) came to existence -- although [proprietary](proprietary.md), it could at least be said that it was well done, had [soul](soul.md) and people took some time to make it. For example movies, games and [music](music.md) were made by people who knew how to make movies, games and music, so we saw things such as Pulp Fiction, Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Linkin Park, [Pokemon](pokemon.md) (the original non-gay ones), [Harry Potter](harry_potter.md), Beavis and Butthead, Simpsons (the peak seasons), South Park, [Tamagotchis](tamagotchi.md), Jim Carrey comedies, Mr. Bean and much more. Computer games at this time had absolutely peak aesthetics in the whole history of Universe (and they were also released as a completely [finished](finished.md) product, as a physical thing you would buy and literally OWN forever from then on). Even things back then considered trash, such as Britney Spears, don't literally make you bleed from your ears and in comparison with today's "best music" sound like angel choirs.
