What\u2019s with this bullshit? Seriously, who would want to return to an era where the only positive aspect is that people from the 80s can remember their youth? I was born in 1993. I don\u2019t give a fuck.<\/p>\n<p>In that era, children played with Pogs, Pok\u00e9mon cards, and Tamagotchi. The computers were dumber than humans, and the internet consisted of 3,000 nerds. As for cell phones, they\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.liberation.fr\/economie\/2013\/04\/04\/le-premier-telephone-portable-a-decroche-il-y-a-40-ans_893593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">existed<\/a>but no one had them\u2014apart from your super-modern uncle, maybe.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-year-olds and teens lived without much: VHS movies, video games, making plans to meet up via their parents\u2019 corded phones, and going to the movies as often as possible, checking the times through Moviefone. There wasn\u2019t anything fantastic going on. What do people miss so much about it, then? This is what I wanted to find out.<\/p>\n<p>I prohibited myself from using all technological inventions from after 1996 for a week. That means seven days. No more cell phone, no more computer, no more internet, no more DVDs, no more iPhone\u2014I\u2019m not going to make a detailed list, but basically nothing remained. I had to force myself to listen to No Doubt. I\u2019d never lived like this. I had no idea what to do with the boredom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vice.com\/read\/i-lived-like-it-was-1996-for-a-week?utm_source=vicetumblrus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Continue<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So which Vice editor\u2019s girlfriend is this?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is lazy garbage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is some lazy ass revisionist bullshit. Brick ass cellphones? I knew high school kids with sprint candy bar phones in 96, pagers were dissappearing in 94, This lazy ass cries because the vcr has no cables? Dog the same shit would happen with your fucking bluray shit for brains. The inability to read a map has nothing to do with living in a digital age, it has to do with you being a fucking idiot. Come on, 96 had dial up, it wasn&rsquo;t the fastest but it wasn&rsquo;t NO internets, goddamn mapquest was around dummy. This supid ass couldn&rsquo;t find a mexican restaurant? She gave up on the tv because there was no remote? Shit what is she going to do when the batteries go out on her plasma? This bitch&rsquo;s life is goddamn pathetic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ladymisskate: stephenfalk: vicemag: I Lived Like It Was 1996 for a Week During the past year, magazines have bombarded us with \u201cthe return of the 90s.\u201d Clothes, art, music: all of it rolls through the rotating door of style.
