I was born in 87. Sometimes nostalgia does play a part but objectively speaking the 90s did seem to be a better time. I consumed alot of American and British media growing up, so my experience is also vicarious.

>Much more optimism for the future (futurology thought we'd have a utopia and colonies in deep space by now)
>A balanced political center - the left hadnt infected everything
>media was not as obnoxious, advertisements didnt have any diversity, but tv shows did start to include gays
>pinup girls and sexualisation was not a mortal sin
>same with vidya, little to no political strife or moaning about sexism
>Internet wasnt wide spread, so not as many extreme or radical beliefs and shouting from rooftops, or retards finding each other
>No mobile phones until late 90s
>Less drug abuse (although probably more alcohol abuse where I am)
>wages and property prices were fairer - had yet to succumb to the total dual income trap
>job hours and conditions were better
>seems like everyone had more holidays and vacations
>Most importantly - homogeneous society, even the US and UK seemed to be exclusively white at this time (even if darkies were brewing in the background).

Everything was better, but it changed with 9/11. Everything became overly formal. We all became broke as fuck around 2008. And pink haired faggots learned how to use the internet through mobile phones around 2009 - 2013 with the rise of tumblr, twitter, reddit.

The 80s was probably better, but the 90s as the last good decade imo.
