There were lots of mini eras since you were born. The 90s we look back on as before the digital age but there were already major changes happening.

Mid 90s after the fall of the Soviet Union was absolutely the peak of the United States. We had so much potential in front of us and we blew it.
This is the correct answer. The entirety of my teenager years occurred during the 90s and that's the age when we actually begin to notice the rest of the world. I even thought i was a Democrat back then.
Everything was different. EVERYTHING. It was also the last era of GREAT music across all genres.
If there was one stretch of my life that I could go back and do it all over again and not change one single thing, it would be 1990-1996. That was the pinnacle.

close for me. I'd say 1987-2000. shite really started to fall apart right after Y2K with the dot bomb, natty gas price spikes, then 9/11.... the entire decade was a mess.

Peak occurred when jfk was killed. he was going to shutdown the Vietnam War. I remember when I was in high school in late 60s, my family didn't have a lot of money. My dad was about to get a nice raise at work. Because of Vietnam War, we had inflation. Nixon enacted wage and price controls costing dad his raise. LBJ cranked up the printing presses and nothing has been right since.

I think 1999 was peak America. The internet had just come out, but you still had to go to Blockbuster or Movie Gallery to watch movies

Grew up in the crazy arse 60s and the blowback do nothing 70s.
1980
Can't express enough the relief, the positive vibe and the fact patriotism was OK again. Also when I noticed something strange about the msm.

I’d honestly have to say right around 1960. Everything prior to the cultural revolution by the degenerate Marxist Americans tuning in and dropping out.
That had tremendously negative effects on this country we still very much feel today.

I have unique privilege of earliest childhood in a generation not reliant on technology and everything being connected via internet access, and then seeing it evolve into our lives and change the world for better or worse. I also am old enough to be aware of the world pre and post 9/11. Take somebody only 5 years younger than myself and their entire lived experience was in the aftermath of the internet/smart phone revolution, or not acutely aware of what a pre 9/11 world was.
Born in late ‘89 and I think I got the last little bit of Americana and the good ol’ days
The iPhone comes out the summer of going to college. And everything changes

The 90s were fun. But the peak of America probably occurred before I was born. I’d put it around 1968.

The older you get, you realize this planet is a bag of shite, has been a bag of shite forever, and we just live on the least smelly turd.
