The 90's were a period of pure innocence, coated in the colours of unvarnished nostalgia. Anyone who grew up in that era, would have fond memories of those-no-holds barred good times. There was a lack of guile and corruption, and also, materialism was not so strong as it is now.

90's was all about fun, innocence, and time was not seen as something to be ravaged, but enjoyed, on a slow, langurous scale. People wanted to have a work-life balance and kids used to spend more time playing outside than anything else! There was balance and structure in everything, and growing up in the 90's meant a genuine love for life, a desire to take in the beautiful moments and soak them up to the fullest. Coffee shops were not-so-common, and people used to enjoy having desi tea or coffee at home, watching television, and reading books.
Today, we have to make space for newer sensations, passions and vehemence. But that doesn't mean, older sentiments can or will be forgotten.
