      It’s not specifically supposed to be the actual 90s, just the dream of the 90s… the Zeitgeist lives on in an evolved form, that’s the point of the song.
      The mental attitude and ideas have lived on… that kinda deal.
      Sort of like saying a Western Restaurant… you’re not actually eating rotten beans and horse meat and hoping you don’t catch an arrow in the knee on the way home, it’s just the style and attitude and the best parts taken and run with and allowed to evolve into something fun. None of the shitty racism and disease, just horrible music so many hipsters in cowboy boots.
      In the 90s the Zeitgeist was about self expression, everyone trying so hard to be different that they all become the same, people rejecting consumerism and careerist lifestyles in favor of living life how you want to… that’s the idea of the 90s that this song is about.
      I kinda hate the 90s but I love the show… lol
