My normie mom sent my techie dad an email in 1982 announcing that she was pregnant.

Normies have always been on the internet.

The pattern I see, over and over again, is that "Things really started going downhill right after I graduated high school / college and stopped having enough free time to fuck around, but not enough interest in global news / national politics to be inundated with The Existential Horror."

And if you grab names out of a bag, you'll find people from every generation insisting the Olds Ruined Everything For Me and The Youngs Can't Do Anything Right. Somehow, they're always living in the sweet spot of history.

Your mom sending an email in 1984 is not normie behaviour

Using a computer isn't that hard. Sending an email isn't that hard.
