90s Middle Class Season 2 -

Season 1 was not about spectacle; it was about predictability. The defining artifact of this era was not a piece of technology but a room: the suburban basement. It was a liminal space of faux-wood paneling, a heavy CRT television, and a plaid couch that smelled faintly of microwave popcorn. Here, the 90s middle class lived its core values: moderation, patience, and delayed gratification.
