By that I mean no alienating tech like Tiktok and such, strong middle class, normal seasons/no worry of climate crisis, general optimism about the future etc. etc.

Uuuuuugh, again, I repeat: NO CLIMATE CRISIS AND CHEAPER LIVING MAKE THE 80S A BETTER TIME
1981 interest rates: 18%.
1980s homicide rate 10.2/100000, today: 6.3/100000
(Violent crime follows this trend)
Lead. Lead everywhere
And asbestos. I work in hazardous materials and the amount of things that had asbestos in them is terrifying.
Asbestos carpets, and asbestos-structured paint for fucks sake. Imagine how many peoppe sanded down asbestos paint…
Why should I care?
Again, no climate crisis + cheaper housing = nobody cares.
Growing up in the 80s, climate was a crisis, it was just ignored, so we are here now, with interest. We (society)did just a little to deal with the hole in the ozone layer, then punted.
And life was better because the effects were limited. Not that hard to understand m8.
