Gen Xers share 8 reasons why the '90s were the last 'great' era.

People who were adults (or at least close to it) during the 90s can easily recall plenty of darker moments.

"The 'poison food' era was so bad it kicked off an obesity epidemic we’re only solving now, thanks to breakthrough medication".

People were quick to note how drastically different attitudes were towards mental health in the '90s .

"I never heard the words anxiety, depression, coping strategies. Everyone in my family was drinking their feelings away and denying the feelings existed." "Drunk driving didn't have the stigma it does today . It took a long campaign waged by MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) to shift public perception".

"Everyone loves the music from the '90s , but it’s all so bleak. Most of the grunge bands were singing about addiction, severe depression, and barely coping." "In hindsight, I think it harmed my psyche. Thank God I found The Grateful Dead when I did.".
