I can understand 60s nostalgia, even though much is also idealized about that period it was in many ways the last time that there was some real hope for change for the better in the West. The youth wanted a radically different kind of society, there was a strong anti-war movement, decolonization struggles were happening across the world, you could argue things appeared to be on a positive trajectory. Where the 80s and 90s were decades of counter-revolution, the 60s were at least trying to be revolutionary, if in a somewhat naive, idealist way.
