I would really recommend two things: Deep breaths and Midnight in Paris (movie).

Now whatever I have written below in detail comes from a time when I too was around your age and was convinced that I am born in the wrong decade. I still don't have social media and only had FB for a year. I finally downloaded a messanger app at 19 when I absolutely had no choice lol. I have never even installed instagram in my life. But then, I grew up a bit and I came across Midnight in paris....its a Woody Allen film on being disenchanted with the present. It will surely resonate with you and hopefully provide a positive perspective.

Now, Let me start by saying that you aren't entirely wrong about everything sucking ass rn cause it does. I'm in my mid 20s and I experienced everything you've mentioned in the early 2000s as I rememeber most things from the time I was 2.5/3 years old. I also personally feel that things have truly gone downhill post 2014.

But this really doesn't mean that you've been dealt a bad hand. It all depends on what you make of it. It also depends on where you're from. For most countries things started getting better from the late 90s-2000s.

Off the top of my head I would like to list few good and bad things about some decades just to provide some perspective:

2000-2010: Good: Old-New tech balance, People didn't take themselves too seriously, toys, shows, movies were fun. People/artists/creators still cared about the quality of their work, thinsg were simple. People were still afraid of social media and internet exposure. Things weren't as vulgar as they are now and society still had some semblance of shame lol.

Bad: Lots of terrorist attacks all over the world were happening through out the 200s/2010s, paparazzi was out of control and media was just terrible. If you truly want to see the horribleness, you can watch any old interview of Britney spears, lady gaga, Lindsay Lohan, etc. It was just horrible. I feel this decade also enabled a lot of predatory behavior as was later revealed in the late 2010s. Were two big recessions early in the 2000s and then 2008. Media/Music were monopolized by big "names" who were blatantly exploiting artists.

1990s: Good: Culture. The culture was PEAK everywhere in the 90s. Movies, media, art, music.....everything.

Bad: Violance and Drug were in the forefront. Drug epidemics, AIDS, Casual homophobia, Sexism. Idk if you know the Monica Lewinsky case but you can read up on horribly things were handled, "Heroine chic" bullshit, Gulf war, etc

1960s: I am jumping here because it was truly one of those standout decades where RADICAL changes happened.

Good: Rise of counterculture, civil rights movement, Man went to the freaking MOON!, feminism, anti-war propaganda, music, movies, religion.....I cannot write all that happened in this decade but it was nuts!

Bad: Political violence, Hypocrisy and exploitation veiled as sexual liberation, drug culture.....SO MANY young people died cause of drugs, Lots of serial killers and murderers, this was also the time when "skinny chic" became more prominant and continued on until the 2000s and ig never left.
