If you ask, most probably, older people than you they will give the same answer although there are specific time periods that are remembered positively by a big amount of people. Besides if they trascended historically.

The idea of old times were better is a global classic. Specifically to Argentina there are other classic sayings like:

- "In Argentina, everything can change in a day, but nothing changes in a decade"

- "There are four kinds of countries: developed countries, undeveloped countries, Japan, and Argentina." [1]
