I miss being an infant/small child, but too young to know that I am so dependent as a child.

Since I don't feel that passionate about fashion trends or fads. I'm going to say my younger complexion. In the 1990's I was in my late 20's and early 30's and although my mentality and pace haven't changed much...my appearance has :cry:

Not much, to be honest. I was never that big of a fan of much the music from that time. Too plain sounding and when it wasn't plain it was too busy trying to sound "in yo' face to the XTREME!" I didn't like a lot of the fashions. Relaxed fit jeans, flannel shirts, no thanks. And of course there was that stupid baggy, sagged pants trend that every male felt they had to do. Going around acting all gangsta even though you're a white boy in 'burbs. Remember bowl cuts? You don't want to.

About the only thing I can say was consistently good from that time was the video games. But I've found that to be true with just about anytime. Overall, I was not sad to see the '90s end and don't feel much of a desire to revisit that decade.

I miss pretty much everything in your list, too. I have fond memories of playing SNES with my cousin and watching Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon at my grandma's house. I also remember seeing pretty much all of the Disney movies that came out during that time in theaters. The earliest one I remember seeing was The Lion King.

Not much [if anything], I would say it was the worst ever decade for music [is why there are are hardly any Best Of 90's compilations!) and I really can't think of anything else that would be missed.

IMHO, the 90s were the 70s all over again, but with augmentation. i miss the whole tamale, with the exception of the rise of the far-right wing. i miss being able to say that bill clinton, a man i voted for, is president. i miss being 20 years younger in that decade. i can't go on, or i'll start getting depressed.

I miss a lot of the TV shows & I also miss the music. I do like stuff nowadays to thou.
I really miss Bill Clinton. He was much better than our last presdient(that's how Bush spelt it rite?) The economy was much better then & people were less greedy & shallow. We had much better social services in Louisiana then instead of being bankrupt like we are now. Super Nintendo & 64 were pretty good as well but I don't play em nowadays thou

Being a kid, Simpsons, old friends, adventures in the backyard, SNES games, summer BBQ's, and crappy VHS tapes.

Otherwise, I don't really think too much about the 90's or the past in general.
