Meh, things were no better or worse back then. But very different, of course. I'm not sure how I made the days go by without internet and an endless stream of entertainment. On the other hand, the brain certainly could relax more back then, I swear it gets overloaded too often these days. Music-wise I would argue that life gets better for every day, since we get the occasional good new release, while we keep all the classics. And with internet, if you want to dive into a certain era, like 80s New Wave, for example, why, you can just fake it on your own, easily. Overall, nostalgia is a very flawed phenomenon, and something best avoided by creating new worthwhile experiences/memories. I'll stop now before I go off the rails.
