90s Teens vs Todays Teens

In terms of what?

If we're talking music, I give it to the 90's, but in terms of dress, I give it to the teens of today.

I was a teen on the cusp - 1999-2005 (if we're saying 13-19 is teen) - so I like both tbh... though I'll always have the fondest memories of the mid-late 90s lol. When I think "best" I think of Clueless, Jawbreaker, Spice Girls, She's All That, Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, early Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, early Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc... but also Mean Girls. I wish I were born just a few years earlier so I could've pulled off some of Cher's fierce plaid dress ensembles!!

(and I'm talking about the culture in those movies, not those movies specifically lmao).

Fashion Icon lbr:

90's kids could handle crap. Kids nowadays are too-...

Oh, I didn't see the styles and taste part.

...

I'm still giving it to the 90's. Skinny pants are an abomination at this point.

We have more vanity today than in the 90's

The 90s were better in every category, less egos, better clothing, better music, better films, THE 90'S WERE ALL THAT!

There was no Naruto in the 90's.

@cattlebattle:Fair enough. Depends on the crowd your in though. Sure, there are the groups with the tight jeans and expensive northface clothes, but the groups I was in when I was in high school were all about flannels, loose jeans, and polo's.

I was a teen in the 90s. No idea what todays style is though among teens.

I miss the 90s

@King Saturn:

Any generation is better than today.

90s - 2006 had the best everything. The best times imo...

One thing the 90's can keep is...dial up.

There was Neon Genesis Evangelion. End thread.  
 
90s ftw.

I would say the late 1990's and early 2000's was the best years for style... I don't like the tight pants and tight shirt style of today... and that sh!t that they wore in the early 1990's was crazy... just watch House Party and see for yourself...

Honestly, that's a bias. I'm currently 19, turning 20 this year and I've never worn tight pants and such. It's more or less a small minority and has always been present throughout decades.

Today's kids have

The Cell phone.

Yup 90' are better, and I'm a teenager (Sh*t Why I born in it's end?)

Exactly.

these days teens are a bunch of wimps, someone makes fun of them and they shoot up the school, shoot them selves or complain on FB/myspace/twitter on how bad they got it. bunch of babies and people who they are tough.

Style wise, idk im not into fashion like that lol.

skinny jeans....any group of people who let skinny jeans become popular obviously has no taste and they deserve the sterility that will come with wearing those jeans and making it almost impossible for others to find jeans that fit properly anymore

I'm 21 now. sSsooo Now i'm going with the 90s

@spiderbat87:

pfft these type of questions/answers are pretty much always biased

I'm a 2000's teen (90's kid) but I prefer 90's teen culture waaaaaaaaay over today's teen culture. Still, I believe I've been born in a wrong decade cause 60's-70's teens rock the world!

@jeanlucpicard: That's a bunch of lies! *Cries to mommy*

Plus, kids in the 90s were cool without being cool...such ass 
 
  

How would anyone know? We can't compare them through personal experiences, unless you repeated ALOT of grades.....

back in my day we didn't ask such questions......

lol...

um --- I would say the 80's....and since I am a 2000's teen, I am going with the 2000's. The 90's still had their heads in the sand and not as much access information wise and as for style --- too subjective. I like my own style which is independent of what is supposedly "in" or not. If tight jeans are your only complaint, that's not too bad -- the reverse (jeans with crotches to your ankles and underwear CK lable showing, then....o_o

True. The 80's had my favourite comics and the music trumped the 90's. Nowadays it's all a bit confused, IF we are talking style/music, I'd go 2000's.

Edit: As a note everyone, don't forget that you can't complain about kids nowadays because it's now the 2010's, a different decade.

That's a really horrible thing to say.
