"The world was better in the 90s because I watched Fraiser and Friends"
You mentioned most of what I was going to, so I'll also add Somalian Civil War, Sierra Leone Civil War, Rwandan Genocide, First Congo War, the start of the Second Congo War, the Dot Com Bubble, repeal of Glass Stegal that led to the 2008 Recession, the Blood-Crips feud, Columbine, University of Iowa Shooting, Westside Middle School Shooting, Thurston High School Shooting (AKA the Kimp Kinkel Shooting), Lindhurst High Shooting, Pearl High Shooting, Heath High Shooting, Frontier Middle School Shooting, and the BTK Killer was still active until at least 1991 (possibly longer as he wasn't caught until 2005). Also a few dictators acting as US puppets. And all the awful shit going on in the wake of the USSR's collapse, including Russia and Ukraine.
There was HW's new war on drugs. He got on TV and told everyone that crack was being sold across the street from the White House. He pulled out a prop bag of crack, as if it were the actual bag police confiscated. Who else does shit like that? That was 89, but it carried into the 90s obviously. You were also still dealing with the AIDS crisis because Reagan did shit to help anyone and instead they made it about morality. The 90s inherited the 80s problems because that's how history works.
I knew I was forgetting more lmao
The '90s were only good for people too young to pay attention to what was happening in the world or too rich to care.
George Bush, Drug War, I know I'm forgetting more
We didn't start the fire...
