It's not being reciprocated. I'll call instead of texting and moments later I'll get a 3 page letter that could of been discussed on the phone.
this past summer recently started to work towards straying away from my phone. turned on DND over night, wake up in the morning, don't check my phone and went straight to get ready for a run before starting work.
gotta say, this was great for the mental health not worrying too much about checking my phone all the time and definitely made me care way less about using social media now. deactivated IG as well and after recently reactivating it, definitely see no point in it anymore and barely open up the app
times were definitely easier back then and hoping that once this whole pandemic stuff settles down, it makes people actually go out and appreciate spending time with other people again

I been playing madden, the show, etc with my buddy every Friday night after I put my son down for like 6 months now. He comes here or vice versa. We know we can play together online, but like you said it just isn’t the same. We talk ****, smoke weed, have some laughs, etc. def not the same online imo.

I'm just not a big texter. I'm not writing a poem, when I probably can communicate my thoughts better through verbal communication.

1975er here, so I was 15-25 years old.
2021 and I still make mixtapes. I was doing it in the 80s and carried over into the 90s.
Peace

-ride BMX bikes
-play OG Nintendo & Sega Genesis on CRT tv’s
-collect music cd’s from the 80’s / 90’s
-wear sneakers designed before 2000
However, I refuse to wear baggy pants again. Cell phones are very much needed and internet access is a must have.

He's right, women in 90s hairstyle and make-up sucked.

Playing outside. Had a decent group of friends on my street to where we can get a nice game going. Busted out the Nerf turbo football. Hop on the bikes to go down the street to a local burger joint to play Street Fighter II.
TV shows were actually funny. One of the downfalls of this time was waiting like almost a year for a movie to come out on VHS.
Going to the mall, walking into foot stores and seeing actual heat just sitting on the shelves. Holding a pair of $130 sneakers that I know I was never going to own (thank god for retros). Nowadays, just the same 'ol boring generic releases in each store.

I miss talking to girls on the phone. Getting to know people. You needed social skills and a sense of humour to bag the yambs.

Man I missed the 90’s. Anyone remember when Jordans came out on Wednesdays. I had my mom go out to Serramonte and Stonestown to get my Jordans. 6th-8th grade was when the Jordan XI, XII, and XIII came out.
99 White Cement IV’s were sitting at Copeland’s Market Street for $99.99.
96-98 was when my mom would spoil the hell out of me and cop me Hilfiger, Polo, and Nautica.

I'm 28, so I was a child in the 1990s. The posts in this thread are interesting. Most of what I remember is my cousins, who are now in their early 40s, playing hip hop and r&b. They're probably why I got into 1990s hip hop as a teenager.

The release date for the newest Jordans didn't affect my age bracket as much in the 90s. Luckily, the PX (military store) kept a nice stock, and at a slightly discount price. Once the retros (specifically the IVs) hit in '99, different story.

I always reminisce of the 90’s. I miss the 90’s deeply. I always say the 90’s died on 9/11/2001. Night and and day difference after that dreadful day.
