Overall I miss the 80s more.
But on a personal level it is the 90s.
The friends I made in the early 90s are still my best friends, while I only have one friend left from the 80s.
All in all with friends, friend of friend and their friends there were probably over 200 kids from four different cities in the area hanging out together, all of us more or less a bunch of misfits.
The pivotal year was 1992. That was when the 80's ended and the 90's began. Specifically, it was when Nirvana's album Nevermind came out and when Dr. Dre's The Chronic came out around the same time. Music changed drastically. No more 80's hair bands or early 90's boy bands. The youth culture shifted that year and didn't look back. 80's styles faded and the new trend was baggy clothing. The golden years of alternative grunge music were from '92 to '97. After '97, things changed a bit and alternative lost some of its steam. Gangsta Rap got softer and by 2000 was almost non-existent. The new rap became Hip Hip where rappers rap about the club, bottles of champaign, and Rolls Royces. No more 187's on cops and locking down your block.
The 90's were everything changed for the worst and it has never recovered aside from a few.
Not Only the 90's destroyed hair bands, it also destroyed the entire metal scene, Nirvana Inadvertently ruined the careers of REAL rock bands as well.
September 11, 2001 was change that ushered in the 00's. Up till then things were pretty much good. After that it took a long time to recover and the new normal is not as good in many ways.
Actually the so-called Y2K REALLY used in the 2000's.
Not so much IMO. There was a lot of hype and unknown that sheeple got all scared about. The 90s boy bands were still around, the music didn't change that much.

Not to mention the 90's nu metal bands, pop punk bands were also still around, I Blame Nirvana for nearly ruining U.S. Music forever.
and by the way Guns N Roses killed the hair bands by the time appetite for destruction came out
And a lot of people clinton change america?, changed america alright, he's the same scumbag that pushed NAFTA down our throats, WTO and other stuff and let's not forget the republicans had control of the congress in the mid to 1990's.

And that song proved it.
That album was released in 1987 and hair bands kept releasing albums several years after that.
