How Did I Have Fun In the 90s?

Back then we didn’t have social media, but we definitely had something — and I want it back

Comedian Kev On Stage responded to a girl who asked: “Without social media, how the heck did you 80s and 90s kids have fun?” He responded: “We actually socialized and got together with friends.”

This is not to say Gen Zers do not hang out and party. It’s just that lately I have been reflecting on how I had fun in the 90s or what constituted as entertainment back then. Even as someone who was severely shy, I remember knocking on friends’ doors and having slumber parties, etc.

I want to take us back down memory lane briefly to show how I grew up in the 90s and what I did for fun, and why I want to bring some of that back.

Bikes were fun, healthy modes of transportation

They still are.

However, I do not see many children just happily riding bikes these days, in fact I see older people, or those in my support group, happily riding their bikes.
