Don't be blinded by nostalgia.  The 80s were one of the most brand-centric and superficial periods ever.  I remember my older sister sewing fake labels into her clothes.  I remember her buying unbranded polo shirts and sewing the emblem on.  I remember Sega fans calling Nintendo fans babies while Nintendo fans ganged up against them (I was a Nintendo fan then).

People have always been pretty much the same.  I know some people desperately want to believe that everything was better when they were kids but I much prefer being honest.

blinded by nostalgia? Have you considered that he lived in a different place, with a different culture, habits, economic situation compared to you, so that's why he has a different perception about that time?

but, serious... Nintendo fans beating Sega fans on the street because they called them babies? What a time! This could be a movie. So veracious.

Beating them on the streets?  What are you talking about?  Stop being silly.

And why aren't you saying the same thing to him, then?  You'll sound awfully hypocritical otherwise.
