If you go by conventional wisdom, things have been getting worse ever since you were born. It doesn't matter when you were born, either, just know that the time before then was better. Way better. People had respect. Kids ate their vegetables and got the right amount of sleep. Parents lived up to their responsibilities and politicians exhibited a measure of honesty and grace.
Again, this was before you were born, so you don't remember. Or, it might have been during your early childhood years, about which you are definitely not idealizing or recalling in a fond, nostalgic--and therefore skewed--manner. Sunsets were prettier, without all that superfluous gamboge. Full moons occurred more often than they do now because it was before the moon realized it drove people insane when it came out in all its glory. People ruin everything!
