Reading up on it, there really has been great progress since the 90s on many fronts.
HIV has gone from being practically a death sentence to sufferers being able to live an almost normal life with medication, Hepatitus C has gone from incurable to curable, polio and guinea worm have gone from widespread to almost extinct, and survival rates for cancer have increased. The percentage of people living in extreme poverty has decreased globally. Not a single country in the world allowed same sex couples to marry in the 90s, now 22 countries do. The ozone layer is recovering.
The 90s were cool and all, and I have a lot of nostalgia for them myself, but on the whole I don't think the world is worse now than it was then.
