Seeing MAGA hats I wondered. Which parts of those good old days would I want back? This Boomer had a lower middle class childhood. Muscle cars, frozen food, Vietnam, college, military life, factory jobs, drop out hippie life, back to nature, our culture. A passive depressed teen I missed good drugs, sex, music, adventures. Friends sometimes say, time wasted being hippies! Hippie, back to the land culture also helped bring awareness to possible thermonuclear war, fascism, junk food, ecological degradation, chronic pessimism. Sure some got addicted, wounded, deluded. Overabundance of good stuff, too much fun? Most eventually found balance, survived unique times. We interacted with culture, times changed, most adapted.
