The 90s were seriously such a bop.

At this point we can only hope the Matrix is real and they reset this simulation soon because what we're seeing are the side effects from the uprising outside.

9/11 was suppose to be the reset point, but the simulation kept running for some reason.

You might even call it an Mmmbop.

If you were a kid in the 90s, sure. Your parents shielded you from all the chaos.

The 90s also had terrorism (IRA, WTC bombing, German and French hijackings, Israeli settler massacre, sarin gas attack in Japan, Oklahoma City bombing, bombings of US service members in Saudi Arabia, PKK suicide bombers in Turkey, Dagestan bombing in Russia (possibly a Putin-orchestrated false flag)). It had the ongoing AIDS epidemic, which was terrifying. It had the first Gulf war. It had the LA riots of 1992. It had the columbine shooting.
