My brother's graduating class literally went streaking on their last day of highschool. (class of 96)
There's no way in hell you'd get away with something like that nowadays. Things were a lot more lax back in the day.

Was hoping to get in before someone posts the 7-11 video from the 80s (which totally misses the context of walking around with a camcorder in that era).
Anyways, I graduated high school in 1999. The single biggest difference is that people said and acted in a manner that didn't carry the risk of haunting them online forever. The lack of social media made life wayyyy simpler for people to just be themselves, speak their mind, etc.
Also, Columbine happened in April of that year, just a few weeks before graduation. Prior to that, most high school kids had a level of freedom that today's kids couldn't fathom. You could leave the school during lunch to grab fast food, things weren't regimented at all. Hell, I remember in 3rd grade a girl had her dad show off his rifle collection for show and tell. No one thought it was unusual.
This was also roughly the last period before Nancy Grace pushed the "children-in-danger" narrative. Young kids could go outside unsupervised, race around on their bikes, and so forth. No "scheduled play dates" or parents being required to chaperone their 9 year old at the park.
Also, this was the last real age of discovering "forest porn" as internet speeds were still lousy. If you happened upon it as a kid, you knew what it was like to win the lottery or strike oil in your backyard.

I graduated in 2000.
Looking back with rose-tinted glasses brah.
I actually think things were worse for kids back then.
Bullying was rampant and absolutely savage. At least they have anti-bullying programs now.
The internet sucked and didn't help much with homework or learning things.
The girls back then were disgusting as fak too. Maybe it was just my high school or the grunge style, but most girls were sloth monsters.

1999/2000 - Dial-up the norm. DSL, which doesn't even come close to Wi-Fi speeds, were a luxury for people
2004 - Fiber Optics (or whatever it was) became prevalent and high-speed internet was cheap giving birth to things like YouTube. Cellphones mainstream, Myspace becomes popular giving birth to social media.
2007-2010 - ******** becomes mainstream and increasingly popular. Smartphones start gaining attention of the masses changing the way we interact with people/consume info
2012 - Instagram/Snapchat become mainstream, changing how people interact once again since it's primarily through images/quick video exchanges instead of voice/text.
2014 or so - Uber starts gaining popularity, Netflix/Spotify change the world to a streaming/on-demand form of consumption
2020s - Who knows? Probably virtual reality, especially now that people are on lockdown and there's no way to do anything aside from rotting with Netflix
I think compared to Zoomers who already grew up with this stuff fully developed, it's really hard for us especially because we've seen the world on both sides of the equation - the benefits/conveniences of technology as well as the destruction it causes to our social fabric.

I’ve done what I can. Sadly I live kinda far from them, and I myself am not finished making it yet
Your "good ol days" is a few years after I went "wait a minute wtf is going on here?".

There were sloots but they were few and far between and certainly weren't smashing 20 guys a year like they do now(STD rates have soared)

Thinking back it really was amazing how much freedom you would be given back then. High schoolers were actually treated to a slight degree like adults. Now children are defined as being under 26 in the USA (for medical insurance purposes). I remember in the movie Unforgiven - set in the 1880s or so, Clint Eastwood hands his rifle to his 7 year old son and say "I'll be out for a few days. Look after the farm."
Also, if it was a Friday night - there was one place you could count on being lit and packed

Hmm on second thought these people look quite aged, especially the guys. If they had tinder back in those days, those guys would've been utterly doomed beyond repair, except for the football captain, that aesthetic Paki guy, and those 2 or 3 aesthetic white dudes

Politics were unimportant. No one cared if you called a gay guy **** or a non-binary a weirdo tranny or shemale. People had thicker skin. No petty drama over social media either. People actually talked. Even incels werent 100% incel because they HAD NO CHOICE but to communicate with people in person. They couldnt just sign up to Reddit and make friends with other weirdos online.

Strong nostalgia watching that video srs
Class of '06 here. HS sucked somewhat for me since I was so introverted. But I do miss some of my close friends from back there. I would do a lot of things differently in hindsight.
You definitely get the sense of people being more socially aware and obviously less shackled by life's responsibilities.

Actually Freshman year was my favorite year of HS (which just so happened to be 98-99).
Sixth grade was my favorite year - then either Freshman year of Fifth grade after that.
