I really enjoy the 90s UK. For some reason it’s very cozy to me. I think it’s because it’s an era where marginalized groups were getting more rights, climate change hadn’t spiraled and it was a relatively peaceful and stable time.

    I frequently think about owning and working a small farm a short walk away from a quaint medieval village where everyone knows each other. I’m not really sure what country or even specific time period that’d be in and I know I’m probably romanticising it significantly but life would have been so much simpler

      Don’t worry, romanticism is the point.

      I like this cozy feeling because it makes me feel safe and happy. Whether that would have been true is another story.

    Same decade for me, but just across the pond for me. Never got to really experience that time and a lot of the music, games, and animated cartoons were/are fantastic.

    Can’t speak for rights for marginalized groups here since the whole 80s and 90s thing of gays and AIDS being falsely linked and having had a president that laughed at the situation ( may he rest in Hell ).

      Ahh no, I never lived in the 90s UK as well. I just quite like the feel of it.

      90s america is a bit cozy as well.

      Something about it being before the beginning of the new century and milenium makes it very cozy.

      In that regards yeah, most countries only legalized gay marriage in the 21st century. It’s sort of sad.
