The forgotten generation, just lumped in with the old fuckers.
I don’t even think you’re being “bundled” per say. You’re just living long enough to take the generic “Old People Ruined Everything” flak that internet click-baiters loves to saturate younger people with. On the flip side, you’re now reaching the era in which every TV Show, radio program, and mega-mall marketing team thinks the 1980s was the peak of human civilization. So enjoy being sheep dipped in Reagan Era nostalgia for a decade or two.
My back hurts.
Back aching builds character, or so I’ve been told.
What’s scary is that some people are conflating what they see on stranger things with the real 80s. People over here definitely didn’t have the means to buy all that
What we see on Stranger Things is just advertisements for IP from the 1980s. Everything from Ghostbusters to Neverending Story to D&D is just a brand name. Hell, the centerpiece of Season 4 was a mega-mall.
It’s history through the eyes of Madison Avenue. Great if your goal is to recycle period kitche at obscene mark-ups. Which… in fairness… was the design philosophy of much of 1980s mass media.

I can’t wait until my childhood is seen as the peak of civilization, because it might actually have been with how shits going lately
