Do you think that's true?
Not literally no, but a LOT changed around 1990, so maybe in a poetic sense 14%  14%  [ 6 ]

Sorta. 1990 was one of the biggest changes in history and society ever. 5%  5%  [ 2 ]
Yes, I personally noticed a cosmic shift right on/around that date. This isn't the world of the 80s and before. 10%  10%  [ 4 ]
No, that's ridiculous. 57%  57%  [ 24 ]

Everything before the 90s seems different to me. Is this just a copy of the 1989-and-before world/universe?

What's interesting is I was born two weeks after that date so I can never really be 100% it's not true. Of course most alive today were around in 1989 but imo you can't completely trust what others tell you unless you experience it yourself.

True from the time I was born I don't remmeber a thing until I turned five years old. Age is a bit overrated anyway I am glad you are older memory wise their are a lot of things I wish I could forget about.

Yeah, I have a pretty traumatic childhood too, though at least nobody in my family died or anything during it. I can remember back to 1993.

I was beaten by my half brothers father and step mother I can only remmeber the abuse and beatings I went threw in 1995 when I turned 7 that is when they found out I had AS. Then I got to live with my mother and never had to go back and stay with a man that wasn't my father. Me and my brother have the same mother not father my dad isn't white his is 8)

Yes. It was called the fall of Communism. Perhaps more importantly in the '80s we saw the fall of social democracy and the death of the idea of democratic socialism. Since then most of the world has focused itself on neoliberalism and what I like to call "the cult of the individual." Such things have caused not only a shift in economies but also in culture and outlook on life.

NOTE: I do not in any way support Soviet-style communism. Just so that is clear.

But was that actually caused by a real cosmic change, or was it simply a major, but ultimately mundane, historical turn?

It was a mundane historical change but it totally altered the world as we know it. I know that that's not what you were getting at in your original post, but you can't underestimate how much it changed everything. People looked at the world differently before that, although they might not realize it.
