you know, the 90s were like pure heaven. there was so much excitement about the now, about the future. everything was about quality of life, everything. as a kid i spent hours and hours watching such high-quality documentaries on discovery channel and national geographic, i learned so much and absorbed so many things that would form the basis for so many of my future interests, endeavours, hobbies, you name it. you had so many promotional things with foods, like flippo's with chips (i think they were called tazos in america?), you could also get pokemon trading cards with some shit or the other. technology was rapidly advancing and we went from vhs to dvd to blu-ray to online download/streaming so quickly and it was all about improving the viewer experience. there were so many great projects and ideas in politics, engineering, science, culture, media, music. there was such innocence and of course the world wasn't perfect, but everything felt like everyone was trying to be and at least we were some way of the way there. and now we live in a world where the baseline of life and our entire society, from politics, to public transport (if there is even any), to media, to food, to the workplace, to the entire economy is basically pic related. in the 90s, you'd be more likely to find some kind of label on the bottom that would win you a free toyota corolla or something. now, it's just this. this image perfectly represents the modern world and what modern life is like and why nobody gives a fuck in their jobs anymore, or gives a fuck about pretty much anything in modern society. modern "society" is not worth giving a fuck about.
