Were the 1990's the peak of Western Civilization?

Yes. This will probably never be achieved again in my lifetime.

Imagine skateboarding to Circuit City, purchasing Nevermind, and coming home to enjoy an ice cold Crystal Pepsi. Twenty years ago on this exact day. You just can't beat that. It's impossible.

More likely, and of course preferable, is that it'd be an independent record store, not a Circuit City.

Luckily Minneapolis still has quite a few of those. Of course now they make most of their money selling vinyl represses of albums everyone already owns/has downloaded (including Nevermind) for $25-30.

I've decided now to listen to Nevermind the whole way through, which I haven't in quite awhile.

Boris' scenario should also throw in watching Seinfeld and/or Married...With Children when you got home.

Does anyone else ever do 90s nostalgia days? I try to have a day on a weekend about every two months where I only listen to 90s records and watch a bunch of 90s TV shows DVDs. I suppose there is something hypocritical about nostalgically listening to old music on an iPod and watching TV shows on DVD though.

A stock market crash that took only a little over a year to recover from is definitely not comparable to 9/11 in notable events.
