Serious post:
Although the jury of history sometimes takes a long time to deliberate, historians will probably judge the 1990s as one of the most pleasant times to live in the United States.
Between about World War I and now, the only times that the United States didn't face either a) external war, or threat of war or b) economic crisis or other domestic disturbance or c) both was between...1920 and 1929, and between 1992 and 2001. And on top of the economic prosperity and lack of conflict, the 1990s were also a time when there was a lot of culture to choose from, and people's minds were really getting opened. It really was incredible when we went from "computers are monochrome boxes that you might have if you are rich, and you can play a few games on them" to "everyone in the world can use the internet!", and to do it in six or seven years. I mean, the difference between the internet of 1992 and 1998 was incredible. So yeah, the 1990s were pretty awesome.
We were so close to a New World Order, and then Bush. Then 9/11. Then the Dark Times.

The World, possibly the universe peaked in 1994. Science can prove it, probably. The Downward Spiral was released that year. Best metric I can think of.
FACT.

I got away with all manner of mayhem, back in the day. You 90's kids don't even know.

We had paradise in reach, brothers. And then the Dark Lord took it away.
Let's remember the Spin Doctors and what could have been.
