who many others than me lives in the past

I am still in 1997 and my room is full of 90's and late 80's stuff I hate Change and new stuff

That is perfectly understandable for those of us who have lived through earlier era's. However, you would have been 5-6 during '97. Why does a time you'd hardly remember mean so much?

I wish it could be the 60's, followed by the 70's and 80's. Sure there is so much available today, and I wouldn't be treated any better for my AS, but I have always wanted to be alive back then, to experience the music and films. I guess with me I just refuse to move out of past music.

I remeber 1997 and 1996 and 1995

I think he meant:

What is it about 1997 that had such an impact on you that you try to continue living in that year?

it was my best year ever

I like old video games and still have the Nintendo 64 and the old Super Nintendo, the Sega Genesis, Game Boy color, the Dreamcast. I just can't get rid of stuff. I still prefer to write down the directions than using the direction navigator. I miss old school Disney and Nick. I think the channels these days are sucking because they are not the same. I still have lot of my stuff from when I was a kid except they are in Montana. I just don't have room for everything in my apartment. But my parents sold my dollhouse and said they can always build me a new one.

Oh and 1997 was the worst year ever. The beginning of it was okay but it got bad in the fall and winter.

no 1996 and 2004 and 2008 where the worst years ever.

1995 and 1997 where the best

You weren't the one having seizures in 1997 and then being taken out of school for a few months and then getting a new body and suffering with depression and wanting to commit suicide and struggling to fit in and be normal and falling apart in school and then your school wanting to put you in a class with violent kids because they didn't like you defending yourself against bullies.

I was bully in school in 2008
I hated that year

September 11, 1995 was when the first episode of Sailor Moon aired in North America; being a third grader, I really liked that show. In November of 1996 I got the Nintendo 64 - great, great system! 1997 was the year a close friend suffered from status epilepticus, and the beginning of a downward depression for me. Fall 2004 is hazy in my memory, too drugged from various antipsychotic and anticonvulsant medications.

While the nintendo 64 was a good system, I would have to say that the Super Nintendo was a bigger deal to me. I recall being really excited and playing Street Fighter 2 all day every day for weeks. I miss my 2d fighters... Sold my Marvel vs Capcom 2 on ebay and I regret it. At least I can get part 3 now.

I think about things from the past quite abit.
I really do not like change I wish nothing ever changed.
Old cars and old machines have something almost magical about them.
I tingle at times when looking at sorten cars from the 30s to the 1980s
This happens to some extent with movies and anything from say thrity or more
years ago. I know that almost all things machanical have improved and are
more dependable now.
I feel at times a person never gets a chance to learn about things
before they get buried by time. Maybe it's the lost knowledge
I hate, so I try to live in the past.

Before anybody thinks about shooting me down, I'm partial to the years 1964 to 1984. That's when my role model, Mick Avory was recording and performing with The Kinks. He was the one who had the morals for most of his career with that band. I pace back and forth within that time span and it makes me happy. 2007, 2008 and most of 2009 were the worse years of my life. I really was not myself. My last good year before the last quarter of 2009 was 1996 - the year that I've left off as a Mick Avory-like Kinks Fanatic. 1997 was the year that things spiraled down until late 2009.

the 90s rocked. my favorite decade of living. i wish i had a WABAC machine so i could go back there on a regular basis. i also liked some aspects of the 80s, such as in the automobiles, like the chrysler corp. "K-Cars" - i owned 3 of 'em, that 2.5L 4-banger was one sweet engine. i especially liked 1985-90 cadillac sedan devilles/sevilles, and 1988 buick regals, and middle 80s mercedes benz sedans as well. i also liked the 80s because that was when digital took off, and CDs started replacing those noisy old phonograph recordings. personal computers also started shaping up into something semi-recognizable today. digital audio restoration also got its start then, so record companies could re-release their vast back catalog [mostly recorded on noisy phonographic disc media] in a suitably noise-free form on the utterly revealing CD format.

I loved the 90s! That was when cartoons were at their peak. I remember drinking chocolate milk while watching them with my family on Friday nights. And, like most 90s children, I was completely obsessed with Pokemon. I was so engrossed in the games that my mom made me take breaks to go outside and get fresh air.

I miss being a child very much. I make a point of trying to keep my inner child alive for as long as I can. I refuse to turn into a bitter, stuffy adult.
