When I was growing up, people considered the 60s generation as the golden one. Who enjoyed their life best. Baby boomers. Suckers were the 80s, Generation-X.
There was this immensely popular tv series called "The Wonder Years". Portraying how the boomers got it all.
Until now, that is. When suddenly people are talking how the 80s were the actual golden, and millennials suck.
What changed? Nothing.
When the 60s generation were ruling the world, they portrait their childhood as the best. After they died off, and were replaced by Gen-X, the new comers are doing the same.
