To me it's intuitively wrong to say you "miss" something you didn't actually experience at the time. I don't think there's anything wrong with liking music from before your time, or wishing it was still being made, but talking about missing things from back in the day implies you were there and you can feel the sense of loss, which is patently false. If I said "I miss the 1970s hippie movement, back in the days when people were taking acid for the first time and listening to Hendrix" someone would immediately say "You weren't even born" and rightly so. How is it different for someone born in the '90s to use that language about a scene from the '80s from another country entirely? I can't miss the '70s, my only knowledge of that era is through a historical lens, and it's the same here.

I have a cousin who's 49 years old that grew up in Hamtramck Michigan which is the hood right next door to Detroit. He used to tell me about the wild parties in the mid 80s to the 90s era in Detroit and Hamtramck clubs. He told me don't let the dancing and music fool you, after the party a lot of people were getting robbed and even shot. Lovehate if you could go back in time and be there I'm sure you'd change your mind real quick after one mugging.

I get your point, you are right.

I get what you guys are trying to say as well and I'm not trying to get any cool points or anything by posting this its just refreshing seeing a dance floor that doesn't look like a giant orgy. People used to have fun in clubs. At the same time I wouldn't trade the 90s for anything I mean now that I am removed from it I just remember all the good moments. You see it with old people all the time "insert cliche back in the days statement here."
