Things were very different, only nerds used the internet and social media didn't exist yet. Very few people carried phones so if you went outside you'd be unreachable until you came back. Also people had more irl friends because people didn't make friends online as often as they do today. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but I feel like we are much more lonely nowadays.
I also feel that experiences felt more meaningful, people went to the movies to watch their favorite movies, nowadays people don't mind waiting for a streaming release and they have infinite options. Even renting VHS tapes was a cool experience, like going to Blockbuster with a cousin to rent VHS tapes to watch over the wekend.
Also neon lights instead of LEDs.

My work kills almost all enthusiasm for vidya, like I come home and I just don't wanna move a muscle. They say it's supposed to get easier over time but holy fuck is this gonna take a while for me.
I've been trying to get a mile of walking done a few days per week, they say it's supposed to improve energy/mental health without destroying your joints like running but idk.
I haven't touched my BF4 account in like 2 years, probably no active players on the serves at this point.
The thing that really sticks with me about the 1990s is the diversity of the music. Every decade had their equivalents of 2 Unlimited and Nirvana, but the 1990s had some mad shit. They had New Age music! Do you remember New Age music? Fucking Enigma had two different songs that reached #1 in the charts (at least in my country). People were going apeshit for music that sounded like this:

...and those songs came out in two different years! 1990 and 1994. They were worldwide hits. Mental music is probably still being made now, but you never hear it on the radio or on TV. Everything is safe now.
However, as I recall, I think 2002 was already a bit lame, so 9/11 might have been the start of things getting weak. But it felt temporary, like the music and the TV just wasn't really for you and you just needed to wait for the good stuff to come back. 2008 was when everything went to hell.
