I guess I skew more towards the technology portion of it. Yes, technology was ramping up in the 80s but I think by the early 2000s the information age had solidified.
I can see an argument for it. The Internet was widespread and accessible to common people, but governments and major corporations hadn't really figured out how to completely abuse it yet.
But the real thing is probably that the peak of culture is probably based on whenever a person was between 5 and 25 years old. For most I think those were the good old days, no matter when they actually were.
