nah life was shit before then. You get a cold and die. You get a splinter and they amputate your arm. You had to give your life to a church. No cars, no warm showers, no airplanes..... 1980s was the best time period... at least in the US.

Not necessarily get a cold you die.

Was it that much better in the 80s that medicine meant you could work until you were mid 60s rather than dying mid 30s?

I doubt you're mid 50s, you have an idea of what 80s America is like

>> No.52700686

>>52700631
No I was born in 95, but from the media I have seen, and from my parents/uncles, the 80s was the best. No internet, you could mind your own business, wages were still fair and you could live a very nice life on a median salary. Social security, no wars, cool tech coming out. Hardly any political correctness, drugs, booze.....

>work until you were mid 60s rather than dying mid 30s

If you happened to survive into your 40s before the industrial revolution, if the million common medical cases we know about today didnt kill you, you would still be working bud lmao. Tell me this video isnt pure kino.

1995 gang. I agree with most of what you said re lack of modern technology, no internet. Wages were decent ans houses were affordable. Drug wise idk, no info on this for me.

consumerism had kind of a charm back then. you would go to the store, listen to the music, think carefully about what CD to buy. listen to it carefull over and over. or a certain book. or a movie. or a game.

nowadays everything is available at anytime to the point we're the quality is so flushed down that it doesn't want me to consume anything anymore.

Most millennials were born in the 80s, these transition zoomers (1995-2000) were old enough to see the old world, but too young to truly experience it or grasp how it worked.

>Boomers all spent thousands of dollars on these
And did it each time a new medium was out. My boomer dad spent ungodly amounts of cash on building his collection in :
>vinyl 33T
then
>vinyl 45T
then
>radio K7
then
>CD-ROM
then apple store...
And still could afford the sono for each new support, 2 houses, cars, a cessna plane, etc... And the same applied for movies in videocassette, then on CD, then on DVD, then blueray, then netflix...

Meanwhile, i never spent a fucking penny in movies, series, music, or vidya, by pirating and downloading everything since i was 13, and i'm still struggling af as an adult, living like a fucking hobomonk.

It's still like that, musicfags would listen to albums on YouTube "carefully" and then go and buy vinyls. And quality is relative, you really think everything from the 80's was gold? There were countless turds that made it onto the radio back then just like today.
