I feel like the 90s were very optimistic. I'm an Xennial, and I grew up thinking that everything was moving in the right direction, and things would continue to get better at a steady pace.
I feel like that continued until the 2000 election and into 9/11, and the optimism of the Urban Coastal areas tranformed into a cynical dash for cash, where everyone is in a race against everyone else to make more money and beat their competitors. That's when college tuition started going through the roof and residential and commercial real estate started to make absolutely insane increases month over month.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that 2000/2001 was the first wave (cusp) of the 4T
