Is there any period in history when the young people reported being as happy or happier than the older cohort?

[jmcgough]

Many? Look generations after wars and economic depressions.

Really? I would expect people at risk of being drafted during a war being much less happy than older people not at risk.

Right when LSD hit the scene. But seriously boomers in the US and europe had it great because they knew what their parents and grandparents went through. Until the vietnam draft for americans I guess.
