90s or 2000s? Which were better?

Quoted for absolute truth
It's not a laughing matter, really

Unless you count the early '90s Gulf War.

I think the 90s were better because 1) That's when lots of the cool Mario games came out, and 2) they had cool shows such as Magic School Bus, Rugrats, and CatDog.

The Gulf War was a very short war with not many casualties, compared to the ones in the 2000's.

It was still a war nonetheless.

dunno i kinda like both, i was born in 91 so i grew up listening to some great music (rhcp,pearl jam,nirvana, alice in chains, rancid etc) but the 21st century has alot more technological improvements wich i really like (alright i admit....videogames ) so i my opinion both are awesome

Tossup here, I voted 1990s, however.

1990s definitely had the advantage in regards to economical affairs. Computer related technology was developed enough to be reliable & even function as an entertainment medium, and also didn't have the stench of staleness. Then again, back then code became worthless in about a year's time because the latest & greatest gadgets were always spawning out of nowhere.

2000s has mostly time related benefits, far as technology & sciences & medicines and the like are concerned. An inherent grimness does seem to define the 2000s, however. It seemed to become especially prevent during the last 2 years, but then again, I've only been keeping tabs on world affairs since the last 2 years. I believe the most obvious effect the grimness of the last 10 years has been the paranoia associated with war & the fear-mongering news companies getting access to the internet.

I like the 90's when it comes to the music & tv shows.
But the technology & fashion is way better today

I like any year between 1997-2004. Anything before 1997 not so much because I don't remember much of it and anything after 2004 I couldn't care less about because it's too recent to have much significance because there aren't enough memories.

The 90's. Times were more "free". We had a liberal president, the economy was excellent where anyone could get a job, the music was awesome (especially alternative with Nirvana). Even gas prices were like only $1.00 a gallon. I hated the 2000's. We had to deal with Bush and his antics, Sept. 11th tragedy, the economy went sour, and it felt that every accomplishment of freedom and other things that my generation in the 90's did went to heck(I was born in 1978).

The 90's - When the world was my playground and I hadn't a care in the world.

Actually you are somewhat right about hurricanes, except we had Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which devastated Florida. But, at least there was not many.

They got rid of all the good shows. It still makes me sad.

I remember growing up in Taiwan and we would get American Shows from BBC as well as British.

Then 2000s came and the shows got really dumb.

What about Rwanda and Yugoslavia? Two full on genocides in one decade. Right now, it's mostly just Sudan.

1990s without a question in many aspects. Economically, as far as music goes, etc.
