TBH, I think they don't have it so good these days.

Most kids these days are reckless, have little to no morals and just do what the fuck they like.

They are the future, be worried!

I grew up in the 90s, when shit made sense... and we wern't knee deep in the ass of the middle eastern countries.

Born in '81 as well and I'm pretty happy with it. I actually think I had a very nice childhood (despite us not having much money for leasure in the 80s). No air conditioning and DVDs in cars but entertainment technology was often so new and exciting; like genuinely new, not just having it smaller and in a dozen colours.
Then there were also arcades.

Then I was a teen in the 90s, I doubt I'll ever enjoy England as much as I did then, plus I still like 90s music. Somehow it felt like a very optimistic time. Things felt a lot less commercial too, the internet was a pretty lovely mess.
Kids... I think we just stayed kids for longer, and that was good. The norm also wasn't to behave like a dumb small-time criminal or dress like a whore - I'm seeing too much of this today.

Of course most people tend to look back with some fondness, and you don't notice many of the big problems as a kid unless they affect you very directly. And I grew up pretty sheltered, so I'd probably look at the past in a similar way even if I were born later.

When you say stuff like that you know you are getting old =p.

Oh yeah, adding to my OP. I didn't get internet until 2007.

someone that's a bit older than me. lol
