It is interesting seeing zoomers express a nostalgiac reverence for the 80s and 90s

It was a simpler time yes but at the same time crack niggers were running wild and alcoholics were killing people in car crashes constantly

Still having lived through those times, reality was more real back then without the phones than nowadays with fake ass fucking Instagram and chink-tok

They are presented with the myth of the 80s and 90s, especially from the way these things are portrayed in certain films from that era (and also the way the internet took that portrayal and exaggerated it even more) - a kind of glistening golden era from the minds of millenials.

The issue here really isn't the 80s or the 90s.

It's people recognizing how self-evidently shitty the world currently is, combined with the dissonance they are getting from the gaslighters who say it's wonderful, and then wishing for a time that really amounts to: the lull before the jews accelerated the plan.

They are mythologizing past times as a way of coping with the real absence of something concretely good in the world they're experiencing. It's the function myths have always had, especially the golden age kind.

It isn't a bad thing. It's a symptom of a declining culture when it is past rather than future hopeful.
