because when we were kids in the 90s we had:  a unified national culture and pride  unshakable belief that the future would be better than now (and a now that was pretty good)  a society that, while materialistic and corporate, was less sociopathically exploitative than todays  no social media brain rot  no dating apps - average guys could score with average girls  in-person socialization  cell phones, if you had one at all, were just for making phone calls.  no fag, tranny, and nigger propaganda in the mainstream media  rent and houses were much more affordable zoomers have only ever known the current hell world.  us milennials grew up in the golden decade high-water mark of the post-war order.
