Your comments on sexual morality being culturally irrelevant during your formative years in the 1980s and 1990s demonstrate that people who consider those decades to be a 'halcyon period' are either naive or are infected with the post-1960s liberal world-view, but simply disapprove of progressive social changes that took place since they became middle-aged.

This is why I disagree with Vox Day's position that Generation-X are more socially conservative than the Boomers. Did Gen-X reject the sexual licentiousness that became normalised during the 1960s? No, many of them happily engaged in fornication, preferring to delay marriage and having children. Did Gen-X reject single-parenthood? Not at all. Does Gen-X consider themselves more Christian compared to Boomers? Certainly not, if one breaks down Christian affiliation by age cohort, as reported in national censuses. Did Gen-X reject the trend to label children with so-called 'mental conditions’, an excuse to relieve them from the challenges of raising their offspring and from applying traditional disciplinary methods if needed, instead preferring to use a trendy diagnosis as advertised by doctors and psychiatrists?' No, they didn't -- cases for so-called 'ADHD', 'Aspergers' and other 'behavioural problems' have rose substantially since the beginning of the 21st century, a period of time when Gen-X rapidly became the largest demographic raising children.

Are/were the children of Gen-X allowed to play outdoors without parental supervision for hours at a time, a normal feature for life for Gen-X children of the 1970s/1980s? No, modern children are the least likely to play outside without adult supervision, according to surveys conducted on the question. Did Gen-X reject homosexual marriage? Not at all; they were more in favour of permitting same-sex weddings than the Boomers who were more resistant (at least in the U.S. anyway).

Adam, thankfully you recognise that the world of the 1980s/1990s wasn't socially healthy, a view that that should be seriously considered by Gen-X/Millennials who claim to be 'nationalists' and 'conservative', but reminisce fondly on their youth. In decades time Gen-Z will probably look back on the 2010s/2020s as halcyon age, whilst their aged Gen-X parents will rightly scoff at their children for showing fondness for a period of time that wasn’t that spectacular, an opinion quite likely shared by older generations would shown in their twilight years in regards to the 1980s/1990s.
