Having lived in the 80's,there is a real perspective that canbe given as acomparison to today.is it somewhatbiased by time and nostalgia? Absolutely. But there is also the experience of both. There were alot of things better from that period. Just like some things ate better now. Sometimes, ignorance truly is bliss and simplicity is better.

I think that can come down to personality, as well. Some folks are happier with simplicity. Others are happiest when pushing the envelope as far as they can.

The 80's for some of y'all are some mystical magical time, it wasn't. There was good shite and bad shite, just like now. Music was better, beer wasn't.

The biggest difference is that Western Civilization is in a deep decline right now. It was already falling in the 80s, but its further down the sewer now than it was then.
Most everyone who lived in the 60s and 70s can remember a time when, at least in most cities and towns, we had a "high trust" society. People could leave their doors unlocked. Kids could play outside. You could let people pump their gas and pay afterward. All kinds of stuff that only happens under certain sociological conditions.
None of that exists anymore in the U.S. None of it will ever exist again until this version of our civilization bottoms out and a new one begins.
