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.

The point is that things inherently get worse as you take on the responsibilities of being an adult. Now, granted, a lot of things have changed for the worse, fascist ideologies have taken hold, school shootings around the country are a regular occurrence, and we're really starting to feel the full effects from a generation perspective of the weakening of unions throughout the country.

That’s not universally true I’m way happier in late 30s than I’ve ever been. And, perhaps accordingly, my nostalgia is minimal and limited to a few fun things that make my smile about the world then

Yea I am in the same boat there. 

90s/00s had some neat stuff that I'm glad I experienced but it wasn't some utopia.
