Were the 90s REALLY Better? Growing Up, Pokémon, DBZ & Britain Before Smartphones | Goodfellerz

The 90s just felt different… but were they actually better?This week on the Goodfellerz Podcast, Clarke and Shaun are heading back to the decade we grew up in — when your mates knocked on your front door instead of sending a message, kids disappeared outside for hours, Pokémon cards were serious business and getting home in time for Dragon Ball Z was a genuine priority.We look back at what it was really like growing up in Britain in the 90s and early 2000s — and just how much everyday life has changed.From playing football and games in the street until it got dark, riding bikes everywhere and having more freedom as kids, to Pokémon, Dragon Ball Z, games, toys and the TV shows we were obsessed with.Was Britain actually safer back then — or did it just feel safer because we were kids?We also get into:📺 Growing up before streaming and smartphones⚽ Playing outside and knocking for your mates⚡ The absolute phenomenon that was Pokémon🔥 Rushing home for Dragon Ball Z🎮 Games, toys and entertainment from our childhood💷 Prices then vs now🇬🇧 What Britain felt like in the 90s🏘️ Community, neighbours and having more freedom📱 Life before social media took over😂 Memories we'd completely forgotten until we started talkingAnd, of course, it wouldn't be Goodfellerz without a drink…🍺 BEER OF THE WEEK: This week we're trying Hathor from Humpty Dumpty Brewery and giving it the official Goodfellerz first-sip and final-sip treatment.Was everything genuinely better in the 90s?Probably not.But there was definitely something special about growing up when being offline was simply called being alive.👇 WE WANT YOUR 90s MEMORIES!What do you miss most?What programme did you rush home to watch?What was your favourite Pokémon?And if you could bring ONE thing from the 90s back today, what would it be?Let us know below. 👇👍 Like the episode💬 Join the conversation🔔 Subscribe for more Goodfellerz every weekGood mates.
