I'd argue those born between 1976 and 1984 are living the best timeline currently. Childhood in the 80s, teens in the 90s, and able to operate in both a analog and digital world.
I was born in 1972 and appreciate that I'm able to remember my sister's early eighties Fast Times at Ridgemont High days, went to high school myself in the eighties, then college in the nineties right as Nirvana was hitting the scene.
It hasn't been the economic sweet spot, but it's been a great cultural spot.
I felt like the 90s was peak teenager, everything went downhill after that. It was the end of the classic teenage culture, before cellphones and the digital age. It felt like the last iconic age. Since 2000 everything has felt stale, nothing popculturally groundbreaking. Big transitions in the general culture but nothing that feels like it defined the decades. There isn't a 2000s or 10s look or feel, they are just stale.
My daughter's high school years in the 2010s definitely seemed bland to me. Maybe I was being aloof via nostalgia, but it just seemed like the whole thing was devoid of cultural flavor.
Then she got robbed of any meaningful college experience because COVID hit during the spring of her freshman year just as she was getting her bearings.
I genuinely feel sorry for that generation, not because of the stereotypical old person lens of "those damn lazy kids," but rather they didn't get any opportunity to be damn lazy kids up to no good.
Gen Z just isn't likely to catch many breaks.
