Metallica playing a concert in Moscow was epic
I watched the YT video of them playing Enter Sandman in Moscow a few days ago. I couldn't imagine being confined to almost nothing as a kid and then getting to see that live. That was an amazing thing to see. It was an estimated 500K people at Tushino Airfield to see it live.

I feel like I have lived through two cultural peaks in my lifetime. 1985 then 1995. Something about those years seems to stand out.

The Left hates white America so you better get used to government housing and rampant poverty America along with very few people speaking English. Sounds amazing doesn’t it!!

The Reagan years were the best time for most everything IMO from the economy booming, to malls, great movies, music everything was good and it was such an exciting time!!.

Yep. the 80's were peak. Roaring economy, no cell phones or internet. Much simpler, happy time.

Yeah, I absolutely love watching America doing its impression of the Titanic and turning into a 3rd World cesspool.
God save America.

Mid to Late 90's for sure, but I'd put 2002-2003ish Post-9/11 at a close 2nd.

Consumer confidence hit its peak in 2000. It was a rocket ship higher from mid 90s into the dotcom crash. I was in my teenage years at this time and it was pretty much perfect. No phones, freedom to roam, gas was dirt cheap, jobs were plentiful, on and on.
I know that we tend to overlook the bad during our formative ages, but I do think we had it better than kids today. 9/11 really marked a schism in our society. Once we entered Iraq, it felt like social trust started to erode.

1986. I was a little league superstar and when not playing baseball was pulling in 3-5 lb channel cats from a creek behind the house like nobody’s business. Had a big satellite dish so I could watch any ballgame I wanted and WWF wrestling too.

The 80’s through most of the 90’s were pretty damn good all in all.
Things started feeling like they were getting sideways with the 2000 election and the “hanging chads” and then of course 9/11.
I feel bad for those who’ve come of age from about 2000-onward because they’ve really never known a time when things could be considered relatively “sane”.

Jan 1, 1980 to Jan 1 1990. The 90's were awesome, too as I turned 18 in '93

Agreed. This is where it felt like things were going to shite, and they just got worse when the republicans became completely spineless and the democrats went insane.

50s-mid 60s. That was our best era/generation.
We became "pussified" as Vietnam escalated. By the time Nam was raging ('67-'69) the younger population became very weak and very soft.

1985-1991. First year of HS to first year of college. Before that I don't remember much and I was awkward. After the first year of college until I got my degree I don't recall much other than football games, EE classes, working and long study hours in the lab.

Obama wasn’t the problem. He was a symptom. If the people ahead of him had been doing their job then there would have been no Obama.
