I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

The NaughtiesThere have been vanishingly few decent bits of music, film, fashion... anything else that defines a decade.
Technology hasn't come on all that much. The leaps forward don't seem to be nearly as drastic or quick as they were in the 90s. Look at computers - the difference between a 1990 home PC and a 1999 home PC is immense. You could use a 2000 PC today with ease.
Ok, so my internet goes several thousand times faster and I can even get the internet on my phone but what for? Facebook, twitter, my fucking space? It's all social media and banality. The web may look amazing compared to what it was in the 90s, and the technology behind it may be amazing but it's all a load of bollocks. All the technology of this decade has done is mean I can tell the whole word when I'm waiting for a bus or going for a shit.
Bring on the next decade, I might leave the 90s then.

All this meansis that the defining part of your young life was the 90s. that's when you discovered the things that shaped who you were to become. nothing will ever live up to your 90s. your grandchildren will chuckle at your obsession with 90s films and music. you will never be happy again. bugger.
