You may as well have shown a picture of people enjoying dating and music in the 60s.
I think some decades were much better than today for sure, at least in terms of enjoying life.
I would go to the 60s rather than go to the future if given the choice. I used to be the other way, looking forward to the future because cool tech etc. But not now.
I don't think this would be as good as you think, because we can't "unknow" what we know today. The obvious one is giving up all the social progress we've made since then. Also, imagine knowing about climate change and being surrounded by people who either don't know or are worried about it but don't have the science we have today to understand the issue. All the nightmares we have today will still happen, but you're trapped in the past knowing it all and not being able to do anything about it.
