I think being raised in impossible idealism is maybe an understated part of this, for sure. My main impression from adults as a kid in the 90s was that the world’s problems were solved. 9/11 was a very rude awakening.

9/11 didn't even bother me or anyone I knew. It was a sad event that happened so far away it might have been the moon or events in a movie.

I was aware shitty things happen in the world, but are rare and it was a nice day outside to hang with my friends and joke around.

Yea, well, it wasn’t like that in New York.

But more to my point, I think it marked the end of a certain strain of optimism in world politics.
