looks more like the 80s

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

The 90s only looked like that on film sets and at rich people's homes.

How dare you take a picture of my grandparents house! Have some respect for the dead.

It is funny how the 80s/90s were portrayed in media. Crazy colors and styles. The reality is everything was brown and was purchased/furnished in the 70s.

Big differences between fashion aesthetic and average Joe's home decor. There was certainly a bit more subtlety to it than what media boild it down to.

So people think the '90s looked like the '80s, but they actually looked like the early '70s?

Weird.

People think the 90's looked like the mall, but really they looked like Meemaw's house.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

And yet somehow in my memory, the mall looked like the mall, and my grandma's house looked like my grandma's house.

My recollection of the 90s is that we definitely had more than one place, so different places looked different...kinda like now.

But maybe this is a rose colored glasses situation.

Left one is solid 80s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I had those

I mean, that really depends on what age you were back then.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Depends on where you were. The mall, outside, just about anywhere you went beyond your school and hime, lots of neon.
