1988 was pretty good but 1991 was pretty crappy. 1988 saw the premiere of Star Trek TNG. Of course, I was in 5th grade, so my perspective was child-like. 1991 saw mass layoffs at multiple companies, such as GE. There was also the Gulf War and the recession.

1991 saw tens of millions of people gain a liberty they'd never experienced before, as their countries became independent from the USSR. Ask them and I don't think they'll agree that 1991 was "pretty crappy".
