Why I feel the nineties were better than the eighties?

1. There was less emphasis on the past, the cold war ended in 1991 and with it came renewed determination to plough forward. This meant people worried less about the society of there decade which gave them the courage to be themselves, and from this came of the style "Grunge"
2. The popular culture changed, too: yuppies gave way to longhaired musicians, grunge and rap seized the music charts and, on TV, two FBI agents named Mulder and Scully told Americans not to fear the Russians, but little grey men instead. Nobody could have predicted American Idol. Somewhere along the way, the change stagnated, and the stagnation led to the cannibalizing of the past. While HBO screens documentaries about Kurt Cobain and Fox prepares to reboot The X Files, the world gears up for 2015’s summer blockbusters, which include sequels to Jurassic Park and The Terminator as well as another Fantastic Four movie. 
3. Reality TV had not yet taken over. Classic sitcoms were the high demand of the nineties! Fresh prince of bell air, Friends, Family Matters, Everybody loves Raymond and many more.
4. Social Media wasn't a problem. From this I mean no conflict was caused! Peoples self confidence was much higher in the nineties as I believe that social media is a torment and creates a stereotypical look of what people should now look like which lowers the standards of people being themselves.  
5. Technology boom exploded in the 90's with inventions like laptops, cell phones and Internet. 
6. The music generation brought us chart topping singers like Rob Thomas, Gwen Stefani and Beyonce. Boy bands were at an all time high in the 90's with groups like Backstreet Boys and NSync.
7. Unemployment was low and the budget was balanced.
