I was born in the 80s and I can attest it was an awesome time. I agree early to mid-90s was peak. The movies were great, the music was awesome (and we had the whole awesome catalogue from the 80s, and heck, Michael Jackson was alive!). We were often outside with our mountainbikes or visiting friends (yes, socializing in physical form was still very much a thing) and eating over at their places. There were no phones to call you up, but home before dark was good enough.

Then we had the NES and the SNES, the Sega Genesis/Megadrive. Computers were relatively new and captured the imagination. The sky was the limit. If you could spell HTML, you were hired at an IT company with a well paying job.

No one would have thought we would end up in some AI dystopia where we were controlled by said computers and CBDCs. That’s for sure.
