      Late 1990s/early 2000s was the best time for tech. We had enough of it to be able to communicate instantly, but not smart phones that suck your life away, awful social media that fuels hatred, bullying and vanity, apps that spy on you and stupid things like apple watches etc.
      The balance was right. Tech was convenient, affordable and not intrusive or distracting. The pause button should have been hit then. Nowadays tech has over taken the capacity of human intelligence. We have people buying drones and flying them near planes, we have people climbing towers to post a selfie on instagram and people videoing minor events in order to shame one another. None of that crap in the 1990s.
      The early 1990s and before were the wrong side of the balance. Tech was expensive, clunky and didn't function that well.

      As awesome as it was back then, I can honestly say that I still find it awesome now. I really don't see that much "PC nonsense" these days to be honest (though the meaning of it seems to have changed now - I thought it was telling people not to say things?) no more than I saw growing up, which was mostly the 2000s, but there would have been some in the 90s as well - they'll always be people taking offense to something that they don't need to.
      I like all music, and to be honest, most of the songs I hear today could have easily come out back then, or at least sound like they evolved from back then - to me, there is no decade that had "better music" - it's all good.

    I’m so lucky to be born in the 80s!
    So much was going on and everything was still “Analogue”. It was a very very exciting period all the way up to 2005!
    It was down hill from there on :-(
    I blame Facebook and smart phones....
