I'm not saying not to have fond memories of times gone by. It was more about those who long for 'the good old days...'. Generally, those who talk about the good old days have the poorest memories. Often there is also prejudice against generations that don't do it as tough. No generation gets to choose the circumstances they grow up in.
We can all display and have the same characteristics though. There is a lot of good in every generation if you look for it, just like every generation has the worst of human behaviours.

poor attempt at justifying your response
You criticise those with memories but then claim you have no idea what they are talking about
