Mtv alone inspired a burst of creativity that hasn't been matched since. In music, video, direction, art design, set design... Nothing comes close.

Maybe, but we also got Reaganomics and the beginning of that cultural shift towards greed being good. I suppose you could make a case that we also had HW Bush, the last repub afaik to actually raise taxes on the wealthy, helping Clinton balance the budget in the 90s.

Also had the Satanic Panic, though that seems to come back around every so often no matter what.

I disagree, but I am not really willing to get into this.
