Because we grew up in an era of freshness and originality especially in entertainment.
There was healthy competition and vast variety in everything.
So many solid options to choose from in entertainment (Video Games, Movies, TV Shows, Cartoons etc)
The one hit wonders were quite enjoyable and not really annoying unlike today.
Back then classics were being made, there are no classics in this new era.
Cmon dude we grew up on a solo Michael Jackson taking over the world and smashing, there won't be anything like that ever again.
People were more friendly, we had more of a community vibe even if you weren't rich.
It wasn't a crime to have a good time with your family and friends.
Kids actually played outside back in the day all the time.
