It has a bit to do with age, I fondly remember the 90’s but that was also my HS and college years so of course the memories are good

No, I think the 1990s were genuinely good. That was after the Cold War but before 9/11.
(For context, I was born in the 1990s, so don’t have many personal memories of them and didn’t know anything about geopolitics then.)

Note this experience is specific to the US and Western Europe. A great deal of relief and prosperity. Things get more complicated for the former Soviet centered world as they tried to navigate the new situation
Putin came to power basically because post soviet Russia failed to reach the sort of prosperity they hoped for.
