In 2060s, people look back at the good old days of 2020s. Doomscrolling, AI generated images, brainrot, existential dread, LLMs, those were the days…
If Back to the Future we’re remade today, he’d be going back in time to 1995.
I’d like to see a remake of Back to the Future just so we can have a scene where Doc Brown refuses to believe Donald Trump will be president.
I’d like to see a remake of The United States of America where Donald Trump is never the president.
Even better: Make the alternate timeline a utopia with doc Brown saying he hasn’t had time to analyze the differences and leave it at that. Throughout the movie have framed portraits of Bernie Sanders ifrom 1995 n the background of any scene indoors.
Well, fuck you too
Dont do that
I did nothing to you and yet you attack me on a personal level?!
Other ways to feel old:
- Smells Like Teen Spirit came out in 1991, just 22 years after the moon landing. As of now, it’s been 34 years since its release.
- Back to the Future came out in 1985, which is 40 years ago, and only 30 years from 1955.
- The Matrix is a 1999 film. It was old enough to drink… five years ago.
- Alex Warren, who is currently #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, hadn’t yet reached one year old on 9/11.
- The video game Doom came out in 1993. Pac-Man came out in 1980. 13 years between the games. But it’s been 32 years since Doom.
Should I go on?
This relevant XKCD is a teenager now
You’re wrong. It’s an established fact that the 90s were ten years ago.
I was having a good day
The future scenes in Back to the Future II take place ten years in the past.
…I JUST woke up! Why do you want me to feel old???
Listen here you little shit…
Well damn.
1990-1995 were definitely a nicer place to be than 1955-1960, though, so we got that going for us as far as the 35yo past is concerned.
1995 was amazing, really the whole 90s.
Amazing music, peace, and nobody was afraid to tell all the douchebags of the world to go f themselves.
Don’t forget saturday morning cartoons and music on mtv

“After these messages… we’ll be right back.”
Well shit, that’s a core memory reactivated.
It’s crazy how vividly you can remember something like that, while moments earlier having absolutely no consciousness of it.
Here’s a fun little tidbit. Remember Marc Summers, and Double Dare? Remember how messy that show got?
Well Marc was actually a germophobe, and every time he got messy he would be having an anxiety attack as the show was being recorded. On double dare. DOUBLE DARE!!! The show that was so messy, it’s logo literally had a blob of green slime as the backdrop!
And every moment you see him, covered in mess, smiling away, just know that internally, he’s having a panic attack and in hell.
Yay childhood memories!
I’m sure someone will come along and point out that the 90s were no more or less peaceful than any other decade.
But it did seem like a time of hope. Collapse of USSR. End of Cold War. Feels like now we’re doing the same thing, just historians will come up with a new label for it.

Not to be that guy, but there was the whole Bosnian Genocide thing from 92-95 and the Gulf War from 90-91 that really legitimized the US practice of inference in the Middle East in the eyes of many US citizens. Up until then, most Americans still saw intervention a la the Iran Contra Affair as a negative.
Plus, the Troubles in North Ireland were still in pretty high gear until 1998, most of Africa was involved in civil wars and ethnic cleansing for a large chunk of the 90’s, and the collapse of the USSR, which was viewed as a positive in many parts of the world, did leave a power vacuum that resulted in numerous civil wars and militant separatist movements throughout eastern Europe and western Asia
Yugoslavia is actually a good example.
We bombed the peace into Serbia.
Yeah IDK about peace, but in terms of tolerance in ‘the west’ it was a huge step up over 1955, and rave culture in particular (where it was a thing anyway; might have been focused on european countries like UK and Germany?) was probably more tolerant and friendly than a lot of popular ‘party’ scenes today.
I agree that the music was fine. I don’t know about the rest of it.

If Back to the Future were made today, Marty would be going back to the year 1995 instead of 1955.
My dad was born in 1955. My oldest brother was born in 1990.
This is fucking with me

35 is not a reasonable age to become a parent? Is a bit older than it used to be.
That’s not true, that’s impossible!
I am all of the sudden Luke Skywalker, a character from that old classic film.
Fuck you. How dare you attack me like this
LA LA LA LA LA I CAN’T HEAR YOU LA LA LA LA
