If I could travel back to the '90s, would I do it?
If I had to live in the '90s for a month...
...I'm certain that I'd be saying "Get me out of this '90s hell!" after being there just two weeks. Yes, I am saying I wouldn't even last the month.
What music could I listen to? I've already heard it. What movies could I see? I've already seen them. What places could I go to? I've already been to those places before.
I couldn't talk to my friends of that decade, because all they'd see is a middle aged "old" guy. I couldn't talk to my parents or relatives of the era either, because I'd be a total stranger to them at the age I am now. And I certainly couldn't stay at the house I grew up in.
All I could do is just visit places, which I would. But that would get old quick and I'd just want to leave.
And even if it were possible to go back to the '90s at the age I was then knowing what I know now, that wouldn't work either. Yes, I would avoid some mistakes since I would know in advance what's coming, but then make new bigger mistakes that I never would have expected. There would just be no way to win, assuming there's even a victory to be had.
I understand the phrase "you can never go home again" all too well. That time in my life, that '90s, has passed. And if somehow I was able to travel back in time and actually live there for a quick spell, I'm 100% certain my reaction to it would be that of apathy.
Living in that period of time would also be very inconvenient.
