Aside from pop culture shit, I actually don't like to look back on my younger days that much. I hated school. Absolutely fucking hated it and I'm in a much happier and better place today than I was back then (even with COVID and all the political nonsense).
Projection is one hell of a psychosis, everyone knows you.

stileproject forum days. fun forum. zero politics. fun ass games. funny articles, gore, porn.
The 90's, all of it, even 2000 was good in hindsight, it was 2001 when everything went to shit
Money might not buy happiness but being poor sure makes you sad as hell. You end up missing up on a lot of things that used to be normal, that outside are still normal unless you're a complete poorfag but over here now you had to be a richfag to have it. Imagine being a kid and suddenly there's basically a coup d'etat and you get 5 presidents in a week because nobody wants to deal with the shit going on. Banks literally seized everybody's savings, be it in pesos or dollars. You couldnt import shit, everything stopped overnight.
It was a shitty time, lots of crime around, lots of uncertainty. It gets to you, you should be having a normal life but you cant because everything goes to shit around you. Basically ruined my teens, and by the time I'm old enough to leave this fucking hellhole the 2008 crisis arrives, FML
Nah, I'm Argentine, the december 19 2001 collapse here was hard as fuck, makes the 2008 crisis you guys had look like a joke. Entire country went down in flames, and never really got back on its feet in quality-of-life terms. Dead cat bounce effect, who the fuck cares if the economy grows when everybody is poor as fuck? when you cant afford shit? when inflation basically burns your money away?

I'd say around 1998 to 2008. By first grade in 1998 I was making more friends and getting to do more outside the neighborhood. I got into some of the things I liked for years or still like such as Pokemon. I had my first crush too. By 2008 I was almost done with high school. Some of those old friends I didn't talk to anymore or only barely. Many of the shows I grew up with were gone. All the crushes I had always ended up moving away some time later. I might even put the end at 2005 or 2006 as I tend to think I was happier in middle school then in high school.
From 2001-2003 I lived in a good area with a dollar theater, good bars and stuff to do within walking distance. Though far too old for it, I liked unwinding to Kids wb on Saturday morning after a long work week. Nothing was too toxic for me personally despite the post 9-11 environment.
Childhood, of course. I spent my days at the playground. Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool. And all shooting some b-balls outside of the school. When a couple of guys, who were up to no good started making trouble in my neighbourhood. I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and said, "You're moving with your aunty and uncle in Bel-Air"

Definitely when they're ripest.
My nostalgic peak is from about 1993-2001. Music was good, video games weren't up their own asses yet, movies still had some thrill to them, and comics were booming. Playing Metal Slug and NBA Jam with my buddies at the pizza place. I was too young to be worrying about adult things, I just cared if the girl I liked liked me back.
And then...9/11. It was all downhill from there.

I have liked everything except the bad parts, I learned from those, and like food you don't like you can leave that on the plate.
When I was too young to realize that my parents and older sis will die before I do. I know that death is a fact of life but I get shivers when I think that I will be the last of my family in the future and I will miss them so much.
Also, I miss the 2000s, society wasn't that pozzed as the 2020s.

Around 2007-2009 when I had discovered Halo 2 and Fallout 3. If I could go back to the time I first started playing Halo 2's multiplayer especially, I would.
I'm such a loser i don't have any memorable real life nostalgic memories to powerlevel about
Closest i have was browsing 8chan in 2015, during early highschool. It was fun to shoot the shit in there before the site got so charged with political autism.

Don't take that they'll die first for granted, it might be you. Somber but that's the second phase of death awareness. At least it was to me.
It would be easy to say my childhood, but I’d say from 2003-2009 was the best time of my life. I was a young adult starting college, got my own place, a decent job, it was that first taste of being truly independent and responsible for my life without a safety net. I was still young enough though to have a good time living it up with friends every weekend and we all just seemed so optimistic and hopeful for the future. I make good money now and live a comfortable life, but life itself feels like more of a routine and just going through the motions to get by, there’s no real excitement or zest anymore. Those years were the happiest of my life, the last time I can honestly say I was genuinely happy and looking forward to what lay ahead.
8th grade was really solid (03?) and first getting a MySpace made for me by friends. Getting grounded for it. Sounds dumb but overall My friends and I were finally getting the freedom to leave the house during the Summer. We had to walk miles to see each other but would always meet near the mall. I lived in the 'farm' side of my town whereas most of my friends lived in the culdesac sprawling neighborhoods near the theater.
This past year has been pretty good to me despite all the nonsense. I got to travel a bunch and escaped the Quarantine nonsense. No homeownership on me but tbh at this point in time I'm not sure if that's what I want. Instead I've found a new lifepath recently that I'm excited for although I'm sure plenty of folks here would probably call me foolish. Biden being elected sounds terrible/makes me nervous but overall I think getting a dementia guy for President will be the crack for many to realize 'Trump wasn't that bad' when we really start to see Biden in fullswing. All the gas price increases seem to be coming and will be the hugest wakeup call when folks are paying 4 dollars a gallon outside major cities meanwhile I don't need to travel for work now or in the future and won't be living in a major city.
Overall..now is my nostalgia time? I feel young/energized and ready for the future. I'm hoping my next lifepath/adventure opens up some long term careers for mid 30s me (not 30 yet but give it 5 years lol) so that I can afford a solid plot of land/home. My parents are alive and I maintain a solid buddy relationship with my sister even though she's married (7ish yearsnow) and we see eachother like once every 2 years but when we talk its like we're both in high school again. The worst part about right now are the Democrats/MSM fear mongering but I have a feeling it's not having the effect they want it to. I feel like social media is going to become less prominent vs more and the Age of Woke is dying a long painful death. Also my closest high school friends are pregnant or have had multiple kids and theyre all doing extremely well. It feels good.
For the first time in 10ish years I'm hopeful for my future and the world.
