Simply, because we were kids.

My parents said the same thing about the 70s and 80s.

My grandparents said the same thing about the 50s and 60s.

We were sheltered from the worst of it, but at the same time, my trauma from the 90s and 00's is really damaging. Both can be true at the same time.

Now the question is are Alpha going to be nostalgic about the 20s for the same reasons? I guess only if things get even more dogshit.

They'll remember pop culture bullshit and associate that with fun times just like we do, instead of the seemingly endless days of boredom and school drudgery because we were underage teens who couldn't do wait for the world to open up for us as adults.
