I think starting from the 60s to the 80s was the epitome of America's power. That is the period their most persuasive power the soft type really stamped itself on the world stage, dominating and capturing the hearts and mind of literally the whole world, at least the non communist world overtly and the communist covertly. The sheer dominance of their culture and arts in all its forms etc sports , music movies and trends both in the fashion sense and numerous other fields is unprecedented ion any level. America was fun and the dream of any teenager growing up then. Anybody who had a piece of that era is superior to anyone of later generations and is a much more rounded person. It was quite a world to behold. I hold most of later generations as mere robots programmed mechanically and going through life akin to an assembly line. Individualism has literally died and with it goes originality.
