I was 20 and living in Greenwich Village NYC in 1991. With no cell phones back then, the sight of the twin towers would often orient me in the right direction walking home after I'd had one too many. Wish I could go back. (sigh)

I remember my friend saying, "The 80s and 90s were the closest to the future we ever got." That always stuck with me. 😔

I can practically smell that air. That blue, dusk, misty air rolling over the Hudson with a touch of exhaust fumes, coffee, and the garlic from all the pots of tomato sauce that were boiling all day………. I can taste it and hear it now.
@IronThreads08
I swear there was a buzz in the air in the 90s. Everything was just happier. Social media has sucked all of the energy out of the world and grounded it. We're burnt out, overloaded with information, and no longer enjoy the moment.
@xtrash1ove
I'm Russian and I'm reading yours comments about memories and stuff... And you know what? People I know also talk about the "no phones no computers" era. About cartoons on Saturday morning. About smells of food in the evenings as you were playing with your friends. Some kind of a universal grief we all share. Makes me wonder if we're in fact are much more alike than propaganda makes us think we are. Peace <3

The 90s was something else man. I miss not having smartphones, living in the moment and playing outside with friends. Even though I'm older now, i think about this moment in time more often than I'd like to admit.

1991, working at State Street bank in Boston. Saving money for university. Playing in a band. Studying classical piano. Happy at home with my family. Some of the best years before it all fell apart. RIP mom, grammy and grampy and my beloved uncle Steve.

I was 4 years old in 1991. I loved the 90’s. Such a great mix of tech entering our lives yet we still played outdoors, talked to people and didn’t feel such a divide in society.
@PaulFalcon
11 in '91. What a time. Ninja Turtles, Nintendo, good TV sitcoms and Saturday morning cartoons. Honeysuckle summers at the soccer fields.

Gen Z here, born in 2001. I enjoy reading everyone’s stories about the 80’s and 90’s. Truly was such a vibrant time. I think many of my peers (including myself) suffer from a great sense of Anemoia. We get nostalgic about times we weren’t even born in. You’d be surprised how many people my age have a love for the past in all regards (fashion and music especially). Spending my 20’s during a pandemic/pre-pandemic era makes it so hard to enjoy the present. Makes me quite sad if I think about it for too long. Love you Gen X folk and the all the stories you guys share. Best wishes <3

I was 11 in '91. Wish I could go back. I miss my dad. I miss the thoughts and dreams of the future. I miss not having information overload. Thank you for the music and the nostalgia trip :)
@MistaCreepz
Old millennials like me (41 years old) got the best of it, I remember an entire childhood without the internet or smartphones and got to experience the consumer internet when it was new and amazing

As a boy scout in the early ‘80s we ‘camped’ on the top floor of the Empire State Bldg. I can still remember looking out from my sleeping bag at the twin towers as we went to sleep. We did lots of camp outs in the woods, but this one ranks up there with the other good ones. And thanks to the dads who volunteered their time so we could go on all those trips.
@Andrew.McAvoy
reading all these comments about people and their lives is so heartwarming. were all just existing on this silly little sphere in the middle of nowhere and we're sharing our memories of nostalgia. so poignant and beautiful
@raynixon6767
I turned 27 in 1991. I was living in Pasadena, listening to KTWV. Up late studying at night, dreaming of the future. Life lay ahead, wide open, anything possible. Best time of my life...
@Schadenfreude596
reading comments whilst listening to this in background hits different...

In 91 I was 15 years old and living in Florida and just starting high school. I did a summer program in New York in 92. It was magical. The world was more immediate and vibrant back then. I try to bring that vibe with me now, but it's like everybody's forgotten how to be present and live.
@JJ-bf6dx
As a kid I thought 2024 would be a utopia of peace and easier living. Wow was I wrong. The 90s were great ❤
