It could be worse.

You could have lived through the 80’s and 90’s when we were on the verge of global thermonuclear war, but at least the music was great. Imagine living through that and now having to deal with this shitty dystopia with even shittier music…

I lived through the 90s and there was a distinct lack of fear about nuclear war. It felt more like America doing a victory lap after the USSR fell.

It was very much something my generation feared. It permeated pop culture in the 70’s and 80’s

Yeah, totally. But my first memory of the Cold War was watching my mom cry while people hit a wall with hammers.

70s and 80s yes. Not so much the 90s. Those were the salad years. Glasnost, the end of the cold war, the Internet… Everything was looking so positive. Hell, even the music was happier (although that might be selection bias).

The 70s and 80s were terrifying by comparison.
