Got to watching Stranger Things, and I realize that the mid to late 70's is basically today minus all the retarded music

First of all, that show is set in the 80s.

Second of all, nah. Late 90s to late 00s we're GOAT. The internet was a thing, but it was still kind of slow and smart phones were only a novelty around in the last half of the decade so our lives weren't ruled by internet. Television was far superior to the 70s. Kids were still doing kid stuff, but also still had good video games. The PC climate was relatively stable, where you knew that it wasn't cool to be racist or sexist for real but you could still get away with light hearted jokes.
