80s were best, and people saying 90's don't understand that it was just a pale comparison to the 80's. you need a little bit of hard times (growing up with the cold war) to strengthen a person. the 90's peace dividend from the post ww2 era to end of the cold war softened the 90's babes so badly they are the horrible parents of today's teens.
/old man rant over.
Interesting theory. People and kids are both too soft today. It kind of makes sense, there was a push for toughness and being able to withstand things due to competition with the Communist bloc. Barney, "let's talk about our feelings:, etc. blew up in the 90s after the end of the Cold War. In the 80s we knew nuclear holocaust was a real possibility. Kids played with realistic toy guns without orange caps. Megatron turned into a Walther P-38. My water gun looked like a realistic black uzi. 90s had Super Soakers.

There was great thread on this on 0T few weeks ago, how we went from “don’t come home before dark” to helicopter parents in few short decades is beyond me. Cell phones and the internet ruined being kids. We used to argue for weeks over stupid shite like did he say I want to thank you or frick you, was it real blood gene Simmons was spitting out etc. There was no way to really know

True about what we knew but anyone who doesn’t think that that is a possibility now is fooling themselves.
Ultimately it is an inevitability in the next few hundred years.
