I miss 90s everything. I feel sorry for kids today who grow up with this woke crap instead of Batman, Xmen, Gargoyles, Talespin, King of the Hill, Daria...

As someone who was born in '91 and only got to experience the late 90s in terms of being able to remember, I'm so glad I was born before sensibility went out the window and we got bombarded with "woke" cartoons and whatnot. I'd take all those cartoons you listed over stuff like Steven Universe lol

Seriously. I don't think it's just a matter of me becoming one of the 'olds'. I'm genuinely worried that we may look back on the 90's as the golden age of culture in the West - if only because what comes after it is so much worse. All the Woke are interested in is destroying culture and preaching to their cult. And I really don't understand the appeal of Steven Universe, other than the virtue signaling.

Yeah I totally get what you mean and honestly, I kinda feel that the 90s (even though I wasn't a teenager or adult in that decade) was a golden age. The only thing that needed improving was acceptance of Gays and Lesbians (when I watch some of the old talk shows like Ricki Lake, Jenny Jones, and Phil Donahue (I know technically he's 80s but he still had some segments in the 90s lol), the attitudes towards Gay and Lesbians was pretty closeminded and as a gay myself, yeah I'd be lying if I said I'd be okay dealing with those attitudes lol But aside from that, music, cartoons/animation, movies, the excitement of technology moving forward, etc. it seems like the 90s was the last golden era with maybe the early 2000s before 9/11.

As for Steven Universe, I hear people say it validated "trans identities" because the main characters are genderless or something like that. I watched a few episodes and thought it was boring lol.

Agree with you about the gay/lesbian acceptance. It was getting there in media, I can remember 90s shows that addressed the issue openly. But it wasn't till the 2000s that it started becoming more common - and usually not as blatant and pandering as it is now. The 2000s were ok, culture-wise, but I can only think of a handful of innovative shows or music or creators. Could be there was more that I've forgotten though. I think one problem with the teen years was that with everyone online, there wasn't as much of a shared culture through television. Then social media got big... and that might be the beginning of the end of western culture.

True, the 90s did try to bridge the opening to acceptance of Gays & Lesbians and it's cool that era started it but true acceptance (or at least tolerance) truly began in the 2000s and yeah, I agree that the early 2000s was generally okay culture wise. We were still advancing in a technological age but it hadn't exploded like it did in the later 2000s that ultimately affected western culture. I'd say maybe 2000-2005 were generally okay. But yeah the pandering that came about in the 2010s is just bleh.
