SFP’s chart is shite. It’s deliberately exaggerates the peak and doesn’t put it into context. Let’s break it down a little further.

You just love being the contrarian. You have a NEED to say something about everything. It's you're high like a Instagram model for likes

I am aware. I've backed them up to damn near every digital format.
It's pretty easy to lose digital media. Lost files is a hell of a lot more common than losing an actual physical object.

We know why all this nostalgia exists.

Best decades were: 20’, 50’s, 80’, 90’s.
Been downhill since 2010.

I'm grateful I grew up in the 80s and 90s.
My favorite memories come from exploring the city with my friends. In middle school we'd ride bikes, rollerblades, skateboards all over the city. You Lafayette boys probably remember exploring places like the "jeep trails" at the back of Fernwood.
When I told a woman I work with I don't see many kids out these days (I still walk, run, bike around town) she tried to insinuate her kids playing in the backyard was the same thing.

The 70's - early 90's were great.

Sir... you obviously never waited at the radio with your finger on the record and play button to steal your favorite song.
I did, but in this case the 1990s have the edge. With a dual cassette you can capture whatever comes over the air and then copy what you want.

You also must not have enjoyed pressing the ffwd button and play button at the same time to hear your favorite song as Alvin and the chipmunks.
That was fun. You could also play a 33 on 78.

Those of us born in the late 70's got to be a kid in the 80s and 90s so we were able to experience two awesome decades.
Exactly. Being a kid in the 80s was the absolute best. I think it started to turn south when at home gaming systems were created and kids stopped being outside from sunup to sundown. Social media was the next huge thing to make it worse for kids.

Interesting that the 2021 abortion rate was 28.6 in AA and 6.4 for whites. I didn’t realize it was this skewed
Just the way the racist Margaret Sanger wanted it.

Do you get paid to be absolutely insufferable everywhere you go? Because otherwise I cannot understand who comes into a lighthearted post about fun memories from the 80s to post statistical line charts about abortion, violent crime, and teen pregnancy.
I’d ask if you genuinely don’t understand context, except I have no doubt that if someone else countered with a graph showing that divorce rates were lower in the 80s, you’d say it has no relationship to quality of life because people were just more likely to stay in toxic/abusive marriages then.
Like the vast majority of late Gen Xers, I was too young to have an abortion and didn’t have any substantive knowledge of people who did, the few teen pregnancies I heard about only got to that point precisely because those girls chose not to have abortions, and the neighborhood I grew up in (while still low in violent crime) experiences more today than the absolute zero we witnessed in the 80s.

I’m sure your chart is heavily skewed due to the introduction of crack into the inner city hoods. I wonder what ushered that in and why.
