And the Mob kept the boroughs clear of surface level street crime.
You’re not even old enough to to remember those days lmao
@@miannuslea7589 I would check his profile picture again……
@@miannuslea7589 ahh so we are only allowed to comment on things we personally have seen. Don't tell historians that.
@@miannuslea7589 history only matters if you were there now i guess
@@miannuslea7589 that literally adds nothing to what he said
The cellphone killed about of those things he’s speaking of..For everyone sitting watching this video..We’d be at a movie theatre or a diner with friends…instead we’re all sitting staring at our cellphones
NYC golden era is gone, everything amazing related to it’s culture like movies, music, power is gone…
Welcome to corporate America
In the 90s the city still felt like classic NYC. Now it feels like NYC, but repackaged for teenagers after several counterproductive corporate focus groups.
Thriving for poop smushers, shoplifters and subway track push attackers.
he has to say that otherwise people will call him racist lmao
I go there all the time and there’s no poop, no abandoned storefronts and no mob. Everywhere I go. Your media is probably scaring you into believing crazy stuff.
Are we going to pretend that New York City was not a cesspool breeding ground for nastiness in the 80s?
it was AWESOME in the 90’s i lived in manhattan - you couldn’t drag me back
I wish I was born in 90s New York I wish I was born in the 90s in general what were the twin towers like?
@@zachunderwood9586 it was all very different sadly
His description reminds me a lot of London, England is now compared to then. It was more chaotic, street sellers everywhere, crazy people, it a lot more lawless and ‘anything could happen at anytime.’ At night, it wasn’t for children. Prostitution was rife, drug dealers would approach you in the street at midday, let alone at night. Now London is just new glass and steel building after another; every part of London feels like a copy and paste of 2010’s Shoreditch now, which is annoying as it’s harder to find cool areas. There are still some I like: Brockley, Peckham Rye, Deptford, Harlesden still have glimpses of London from then. It was cheap too, probably like New York was back then. My godmother rented a flat in Knigtsbridge in her 20s. 😂 Try and rent somewhere there now, unless you’re taking 7 figures home plus a year; it’s impossible. Much of London wasn’t used back then though. Many abandoned buildings in the outskirts and now it’s grown and grown outwards, to the point where I’m almost in Greater London, despite being 16 miles away from central London. Talk to me if you grew up in 90’s NY, I’d love to compare the two.
basically it had more personality?
These days most of the city has the personality of an accountant from Iowa while the rest has the personality of Josef Mengele having a psychotic break on the train at 4 am.
China Town was awesome with all the unusual and mystery but that's gone.
@@wafeeqzarif4266 real estate became too expensive for the usual fare it seemed. The shops were akin to an upscale DG. Saw nothing uniquely Chinese. Martial arms were on short, granted NYC, but not even practice items. Sad. San Francisco to San Diego you could buy blades, bludgeons, chucks and bojangles.
@@wafeeqzarif4266 don't be. The migrant hoards will reduce real estate values in NYC. The rampant crime will ensure those that are able will learn to fight for they didn't or couldn't flee when everyone else did. The Martial Arms will be reinvented out of necessity just as they always were.
After living in Manhattan for over a decade, then abroad and came back in the middle of the pandemic I can def see a before and after. Culturally speaking many of the things that made NYC cool died out before Covid but after, a lot of business didn't bounced back and indeed Manhattan feels dead… it also doesn't help the media is still clinging to 911 which further drown the city in sorrow.
He's right though, I grew up on a place called Long Island, at the tip of it, which is basically the boonies. I wasn't no rich guy either so think dilapidated house that got rented and it was like 15 miles into the goddamn forestwood nothing around it because fun... Anyway, when I was a teenager I used to go up to New York City, and they were so much to do, even for a teen, they had like teen night clubs and stuff, diners, attractions, arcades, cool little hole-in-the-wall souvenir shops or foreign markets where you could find imported oddities. Now it's just so bland and expensive. And the last time I've been there was six years ago cuz I moved state. So it could be even worse than I remember.
We still have all of those things you mentioned, except they’re now run by a couple from Ohio.
Ditto for Toronto
Hes salty he cant flash people anymore
Oh man, I bet Rogan was just DYING to get in there and bitch about 'Rona and how it was all fake and that's the reason for Manhattan's demise...
Before 2020. This iterration of gentrifications effect on the culture made it muuuuch lamer
FuQ NYC!!
Why
@@al1enzzHe’s jealous that he lived nowhere and is not interesting enough to see the miriad of cultural advantages. It’s not a city for boring people.
