​​​@@-Ricky_Spanish- Nostalgia doesn't have to be the focus, even as an adult, it's possible to like the 90s, 80s, or someone older, an older period for many reasons, other than nostalgia. There are comparisons people make all the time to older decades. The OP, doesn't have to be referring to things that they enjoyed, but things just being better in some areas in comparison to today. I was a teen in the early 2000s, so the 90s were a blur to me as a kid, but.... not including things I liked, I can say some things were better than they are today, and of course some things were awful. As an adult, I wish some thing's were the same, but we have to adapt to changes installed by the majority, and find ways to indulge in past practices. I won't say what was better, because it's not PC from a liberals viewpoint, see that's one thing, today, we'll be ridiculed for saying anything the majority hasn't been conditioned to think is "the right way to think."

My stepdad was working in Denver when 9/11 happened. He was a welder and the job was supposed to be for a couple of months but he got an extension into September. On that day, after the planes hit both towers and they came down, nobody wanted to work. Grown men and women were reduced to tears, all the guys he worked with, including himself, felt like scared, helpless little boys. Later on the supervisor called it and let them off early. They went to a bar downtown, drank, watched the news reports continuously. Afterwards, one of the guys he worked with told them to bow their heads and led them in prayer. I was 8 years when this happened. He told me all this when I was 16 in 2009. He is no longer here, he passed away in 2021, but this what he told me, all this and nothing more.
