I'm really fascinated by the 1890s, myself. Would have been horrible to live in for medical reasons, but there was an amazing counterculture and avant-garde that was just amazingly cool and weird.

Yeah I think part of the limitations of these conversations is the constraints on how we look at time. The arbitrary boomers/gen x/millennial categorisation. When what seems to make more sense is big cultural societal changes. Which would fit into thinking of the history arc as 1920s > mid-1960s/1970s > 2000s
