The vision of the future presented by the 80s aesthetic never materialised, and that is why we look back with sadness, but also comfort because the promise of the future from a bygone era is now an escape from the future that actually materialised.
Having lived in 1998, this is a lot more like 1988. EDIT: OP has since changed the year from '98 to '91, big improvement in credibility.
I think what’s happening here is, it’s 1995-96, and someone who never left the 80s is surfing the future internet on their old Macintosh from ‘84.
Miss the old AOL days, when life was simple and free from social media drama. Glad I grew up as a kid during those times.
This is literally lowering my blood pressure
This shit makes me really happy but also really sad for some reason. Nostalgia kills me sometimes thinking how those times are gone forever. You see things like that in those coming of age movies where people realize things are leaving and wont be the same and it tugs at you. But as corny as it is, when you hear certain songs that bring you back to your own good times like this that you can never relive, it hits hard.
Definitely miss the world 90s and early 2000's it seemed way more care free, such a joy.
It's 1991. Terminator 2: Judgment day has just been released in theaters. Micheal Jackson is about to release his album "Dangerous". Brandon Lee's career is starting to look promising. Street Fighter 2: the world warrior begins to be a very popular video game in the arcade. I drink my diet pepsi as I look out the window at another sunset in 1991. The sun is setting on the horizon and the future looks bright.
Enough with the historical accuracy complaints, people. This isn't the History Channel. It's a daydream. You're doing great, OP.
This is more 1993 but I won’t give you a hard time, lol. Edit: they changed it, it said 1998, now they have edited it to say 1991. WE WON PEOPLE
As someone who’s childhood was the 90s/early 2000s..this is definitely giving me summer evening 1995-97 vibes
It's 1991, windows95 is still in the making, and Vapor95 is already invading Macintoshes.
The days before I was an addict. I had so many friends back then, and so much energy. I'm only 31 now, but I feel like I'm in my 70s. I wonder if those happy days will ever come back.
I'm so glad I found this. Being born in the 80's and growing up in the 90's was the best. This music takes me back and I love it. 😍
as someone who was 23 in 1998 i enjoy how 80s most vaporwave stuff actually is... 1998 was prime blueberry iMac days
1998, i was 8 and my sister was just born... it was one of the greatest times of my life, loads of friends, bully turned to trusted confidante amongst my friends, beverly hills 90210 was still a thing even though we were living in italy, we were just getting ready to move ... awesome times.
The nostalgia is too much 💔
1998. My GOD. I was 22 years old. AOL chat rooms were fire back then. My friends and I would go into the 20's single chat rooms LOL. Going out at night. bars playing all the songs considered "oldies" today. Life was exciting. I am so proud to say I grew up in the '80s and '90s. XOXOXO
I wish I could go back to 1997-2001, best time of my life.
