Why is 90s nostalgia soooo strong?

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by firebunny on Monday, May 20, 2019 and has 6 replies.
If you have been reading comments on songs released in the 90s, you will notice lots and lots of people saying how much they miss the 90s. Even kids barely born that decade (like 97-99) say they miss that long-gone era even though they were barely alive then.

90s nostalgia seems to be really strong, so much stronger than other decades like the 80s. And although some people say that 80s > 90s, there are not a lot of people who say that they miss the 80s.

What say you?
^^How about the baggy clothes for men?
The 90s...Who could ever get over Rick Astley retiring? Such a travesty!

Because it was a simple time. We were all carefree and the musics were better. Most had so much meanings and back then they wouldn't make music just to sell but because they trully wanted to. And the musics were so iconics and creative. Now it's all about sex, booze, and those so called, forced "causes", they all look and sound the same, yikes.

It's all about selling product and advertising now rather than true talent/creativity. Judging by how many former Disney or Nickelodeon child actors have music careers (when they were chosen almost solely because of how they looked), it's not hard to see why.
To answer the OP, it replaced 80's night at the music venue in my hometown. I wonder if that will continue as I doubt people will be that nostalgic about the 2000's..but maybe
