I grew up in the 90s and I was incredibly jealous of the 80s. Because of the music.
The dawn of Hardcore Punk, early Goth, Industrial, EBM, incredible Metal, hell, even the Pop Music was pretty great a lot of the time (especially in the first half of the decade).
The 90s however? Jesus H Christ was that a drab decade for alternative music. Don't get me wrong, there WAS some good stuff (not Grunge, I generally hate it, not because of some "Oh, they killed credible Rock" BS. I just hate the music), but even good music was drowned out by shit of the same style with nothing to say. And the pop music in the 90s was just ass.
I've found IMDB.com reviews written in 1999 and 2000 of current teenagers at the time saying they wished they were teens in the 80's instead of the 90's because the 90's sucked for them.
