it is not easy to explain. there are gen z people that are crying because their parents got to live through the 80s 90s and be a young adult in the 2000s. this gen z guy was crying saying "how does it feel to live my dream , mom". if television started in 1920s for europe and 1939/1948 for the u.s., and people are already crying about not being able to participate in the 80s 90s, from 1948 that that was only 30, 40 years that entertainment was interesting enough that people wish they were a part of it
