I was in my second year in the navy in 95…….. im 50 now. Nyc back then and life was so much better. People were happy looked out for each other…… no mass shootings evoryday. No 911. No covid. No social media. No people being zombie’s staring in there phones. 🌎. World is horrible now. The 90s. Was the last great decade
Totally and you still had to get music physically and video games were the best that decade, people under 30 don't have any historical knowledge of anything now, just Snapchat or Taylor swift, both are terrible. I miss the 90s so much now, I'm 39.
This was my time in the city! My grandparents lived in NY and I'd frequently go on trips with family throughout the 90s to visit them and go into Manhattan. 90s NYC was an entirely different vibe--different atmosphere. People seemed more chill, we weren't worrying or even THINKING about the kind of anxiety 9/11 would bring just less than 10 years later. The city seemed different too, it was still in the middle of a transition from gritty 70s/80s/early 90s New York to the city we know today. It seemed less 'corporate' and sanitized. The people were different. They seemed more open and friendlier and more REAL. Fewer transplants from other cities, towns and regions bringing their distinctly un-New York attitudes with them. I had some of the best times in my life in New York of the 90s. I was just a kid, a few years younger than your older daughter in the vid, but on some level, was recognizing that this was a special time. Thanks for bringing me back!!
Who knew all the crappy home movies Dads made would become a source of historical fascination but they did! Having lived through the 90’s I had no idea the world was about to take such a bad turn. First it was the supreme court installing Bush Jr as president and then 9/11, and then iPhone and there you go. These really were the good old days - wish I’d known it at the time. I like the 90’s a lot better.
Bo ho gore lost get over it . I always find the Criticism that trump supporters cant accept the results of a elections funny when you are doing the same think no whatabutism of january 6 both candidates behaved like sore losers deal with it punk
Some of these videos are cool because it is the closest thing to having a time machine. I watched a video of a trip to coney island in 87 and it was so funny. The train is covered in graffiti and the people are dressed in the 80s bright colors and a man in a dress gets on the train.
I was 18 years old when this video was first recorded. The very first time I want to New York was going to see my Second Cousin on my Stepdad’s side. I really enjoyed myself while I was down there.
I was 6 years old and living in Chicago in 1995. Now, in 2023 at 34, I’m living in New York City. I wish l lived in the city in 1995. The city today is so dead and doesn’t have that same excitement anymore.
Thank you so much for the up load. That use to be my old neighborhood. Those were wonderful times on the upper west side during the 50s thru 2005. Left to live in central America. Thanks
Best year for pop culture "movies , music and games": Mellon collie and the infinite sadness, The Bends, Die hard with a vengeance, Heat, Braveheart, Casino etc....
Born and raised here , Still here ! Man these were the days , REALNESS ! Not Cameras every 6 inches and zoned out politically correct zombies staring at phones and zero interaction etc .....
Thank you SO MUCH for this amazing video. NYC as I remember it from that time so long ago. Lived here all my life, and this video showed me so MANY fond memories of how it was back then. 💜😻
Ahhh man im from yonkers Ny i was about 17 in 95 its good to see people not on their phones and enjoying life memories man memories now im a grandpa sheesh time flies
RU-vid is funny, if someone had said to you, "Hey do you want to watch my home videos of our vacation?" you'd roll your eyes and find any excuse to make that not happen, but put it on RU-vid and everybody watches it.
Hey new York USA America lovely times as a former new York yellow medallion taxi driver those days and cars were the best 😚😎🇺🇸🇺🇸😉😙I used drive a 1989 dodge diplomat taxicab up and down 5th avenue or park ave ,😃😄😄🤣😆😜
I wish that I had some old videos that I could watch,but they probably wouldn't be that exciting anyway. In 95 I was 15 and I don't really remember much except that I was working all the time. I had two jobs that year. one in a pharmacy and another at a landscaping company...also somehow I managed to finish confirmation class and I broke my leg so I guess that I did do alot that year
I graduated High School May 95. Friend @ I drove fr Kansas City to Los Angeles. Stayed out there for entire month June. - Went 1 day of the OJ Trial.(I just wanted say I did. Thought it was important. Sure F enough. Last 5-7yrs Netflix. ) - Went Dodgers gm, seen Piazza go yard. I booed! "GO ROYALS!" I screamed. (We got lost leaving Dodgers Stadium, ended up in what was becoming a ×100 WORST version of "Menace 2 Society." Thank GAWD! 2 cops pulled us over, seeing 2 white young teens with Missouri licenses plate. Told us.."I'd say u boys had MAYBE 19 more mins b4 u were both dead, car/wallets gone." I NEVER forgot what that cop said. They had us follow them out to Maim HWY.) - Got pulled over on Hollywood Boulevard. I yelled at girl outside my car. Body too far out cop said. (OH...the LACK of total FEAR when I was a teenager. I miss it!) - Turned 18yrs old June 6, 1995 ~N~ Las Vegas. On way out Los Angeles. Saw sum band called Bush at the time that night. They Rawked! - Went to the now INFAMOUS June1995 KROQ Weenie Roast Rock Concert. (This concert has since been on THREE VH1's "Behind The Music" Docs.) STP was reason we went, but some band called Sublime started a full fledged FUCKING RIOT on stags. Good Timez... Then, Some very hot alternative girl held my beers while I got wallet out in Beer line. I MEAN SMOKING HOT, also a lil familiar looking..Then all sudden see her on stage with sum band called No Doubt/She also did duet with Bradly Nowell of Sublime. Her name, Gwen Stefani. - Went on a ride along. Friend and I each different cops. Lol, both Black cops. I had lil less Quarter Weed in pocket. They were cool. All I asked about was 4/29/1992. LA Riots. I got bunch free shit just being with cops. Got whole carton Marbolo Lights free. - Went to a recording Larry Sanders show. Still to this day imo the Godfather to all those early 21stCentury great comedy shows. * Point is? Had blast in Cali. But by Summer 1995? Where it's at? Was in New York. "KIDS".. movie. NASA... Clubbing was incredible then in NY
I'd go to Flushing if I was in Neh Yoyke (My terrible attempt at a 90's New York accent 😅😭) I'm from Canada but grew up thinking we had a "President" I thought Jean Chretien was our president. Lived temporarily in an American household in Canada, so was a bit thrown off. I'd love to visit NYC. (D'uh)
haha, I was bathing in the memories of no internet, no mobile phones (but yes quake), when at 2:01 I see the girl having fun with something that resembles a piece of garbage :) Well, it is still possible to live in the moment today (especially kids), but it is very rare. Now almost every person is gazing into the internet like a zombie everywhere when for 5 seconds there is no stimulus. Sad but it was better without non-stop internet.
I was only 19 years old at the time when this video was first recorded and I was only a freshmen in College at the time. And I went to Middlesex Community College in Bedford Massachusetts at the time.
My 19th birthday was during the time this was filmed. I was in the city a few days before this was filmed and left on the 26th, I picked the Christmas break instead of the NYE break. In hindsight maybe I'd change it, but it is amazing to see it again.
The oldest will be 42 next week and the youngest just turned 35. I started of course with VHS tapes then moved to VHS-C and finally to MiniDV. Yes the years do fly by. If you have kids be sure to appreciate them.
How times changes, i mean, with the lack of "networking" at that time, I bet people did not care to share anything or didn't feel intrigued to do so or also where?. But this is to me it's just normal as in anywhere, can't see no difference, Now you see everyday walking videos (modern ones) being uploaded everyday (and it's great tho)
