I agree with this. I also feel the same way about the '70s and '80s, which were the decades in which my parents were my age, and those decades seem so magical to me and fascinate me so much, I'm sure sure due to the fact that I didn't get to experience them. Even my parents tell me that a lot of things about life were pretty much the same (obviously not technology or anything like that, but people still faced similar problems to what they do today; it's just that many people view the past through rose colored glasses and tend to only remember the good and not as much of the bad, people who were very young at the time believe times were simpler because being young in general makes life simpler, and TV/media often depicts fantasy) and that life wasn't particularly better in those eras, but it's just common for people to glorify the past. I'm sure this applies to people's wild party stories as well.
IIN That I wish I was old enough to have partied 10-15 years ago?
