You define the past very loosely, but here's my response.

No Cash-4-Gold places on every block. I rarely ever see them. Ronald Reagan was in office. :D The only thing I remember about Reagan was his death was on the news. Gas wasn't $4 per gallon. '''Um... it's usually not more than $3.70-something in most parts where I live. You have to go really far south (like, into the Keys) to get that pricey. Besides, do you even drive? Because that's the only reason you should care about gas prices. Unless your parents have stopped driving or something.''' Epic music. \m/ '''There's plenty of epic music nowadays if you know where to look- there's even some on the mainstream charts. I love Rather Be.''' Girls didn't have their butts hanging out of their shorts.''' ...I live in Miami. Freaking Miami. Home of South Beach and Ultra Music Festival. And I rarely ever see anything like that. Besides, public decency laws exist.''' Guys didn't have their pants around their ankles. '''...I see this more often than girls with butts hanging out of their shorts. But not in my town.''' Swimsuits weren't made with one piece of string for each part.''' ...You're a guy. Most guys just wear swim trunks. So unless you have a problem with what girls are wearing or you see guys wearing thongs, this doesn't apply to you.''' No such thing as an iPhone. '''Yes there was. 2013 is technically the past, and the iPhone existed then. What do you have against it, anyhow?''' Miami. <3''' As far as I'm aware, Miami still exists. Unless I missed an apocalypse that wiped it off the map.''' "I remember when a quarter used to cost a nickel!" -Spongebob Squarepants The NES was around. <3 '''That's why we have emulators. Also, so was the Virtual Boy, what's your point?''' You could make your own country if you didn't like what the president said. WHEN DID THAT EVER HAPPEN AT ANY POINT IN HISTORY The good movies are over 9000!!! '''You know what's come out in modern days? The Avengers. The Lord of the Rings. The Dark Knight Trilogy. Inception. Any number of Disney and/or Pixar movies. You know what came out in the past? Birdemic. The Room. Plan 9 from Outer Space. Manos: The Hands of Fate. What's your point? Good and bad movies come out all the time.'''
