The best thing about 15 years ago was that my body was 15 years younger. Missing their youth probably has more to do with missing any particular specific cultural artifact of the time.
For me it's: I miss my youth and health, and I'd love to be able to go back just so I could have the time and energy to work on the things I'd like to work on now.
I am still making things, it's just more difficult now.
But video games are a hell of a lot better now than they were back then. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? The Witness? Life is Strange? Persona 5? So, so good. And there's nothing stopping me from playing the old games when I feel like it (except having the time).
Also I wouldn't mind having another replay of my high school and college years with the confidence that I have now. A lot of my experiences with women would have gone a lot more positively then if my attitude and approach then were the same as it is now (Well, in the past five years. I'm in a solid relationship now). I wouldn't want to replay the sitting around a classroom or schoolwork part of it though.
