Born in 72, so 1/2 70's and 1/2 80's.
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.

Dude, that's bullshite.
I was born in '61. The Cold War was not "hard times" for Americans. On average, American life hasn't been difficult since the end of WW2.

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.
