I’m a millennial and think I got the perfect moment in history, school was only school no computers and MSN etc until highschool. There was no mobile phones until then too. (I mean for kids)

Consoles were still multilayer locally and there was no social media.

But we still had all the conveniences of modern life now apart from instant food delivery and streaming

    I do think this, yet there are current exceptions:

    I highly highly doubt Gen Z thinks their time growing up was in any way shape or form better than anyone else. And unless things get better, Gen Alpha will have an even worse perception.

    Again, an exception:

    While the generations I listed above are still a bit young for nostalgia, I don’t believe their perception of the past will get to the nostalgia phase as they age unless things get much much worse. Currently the oldest Gen Z peeps are ~30 and the youngest ~15.

    And they’re in luck! Life now actually may be even worse as it pretty much already is.
