About this episode

This episode explores whether the 1990s were truly a better time compared to today, examining various cultural aspects.

Pull out your slap bracelets and rewind that VHS—this week, we're diving headfirst into a decade of grunge, dial-up, and disposable cameras. Were the 90s really the golden age, or are we just looking through tamagotchi-tinted glasses? Join us as we break down the culture, tech, music, fashion, and overall vibe of the 1990s and stack it up against today. From mall culture to mixtapes, TGIF to the birth of the internet—we’re asking: were the 90s actually better? Or are we just nostalgic for a time when our biggest worry was taping over someone’s recording on the VCR? Whether you were there, or you’re just curious why everyone’s suddenly obsessed with flannel again, this episode’s for you. 📼 Let’s rewind. Press play. in.pencil.
