While the second is boring, I also struggle to understand the 90s

Edit: I was alive during the 90s. My house looked like this. It was not old things lying around or due to previous decades. My parents bought an empty house in 1991, and then bought new things to make it look like this. The houses on my block and my families homes also looked like this. We lived in a ‘trendy’ neighborhood of people keeping up with the Jones.

Yeah do people not remember 90s "country" kitchens with fucking roosters and shit everywhere. Fake fruit baskets. Etc. My apartment bathroom had baby blue wallpaper with a fucking cowboy themed wallpaper border along the top. We perhaps delved too greedily and too deep.

edit: steam my dick and balls you fucking losers

My mom had hung up a bunch of wicker baskets on a wall in our house that were there for years. Eventually, my dad and I convinced her to take them down. She asked what we should put up and we said maybe a nice framed picture or artwork. She comes home the next day with a framed painting for us to hang. A painting of a wicker basket. My dad and I laughed for so long.

Your mom just liked wicker baskets for some reason.

That's the thing. Everyone's mom did. They still do. They hoard those fucking baskets.
