Golden Ages are actually an understudied concept but I think they matter a lot class of things that are real and important but difficult to formalize so people pretend theyre fake

can different portions of the west have different golden ages i feel like that's when the american golden age started

I think the true American golden age was the Gilded Age. The 20th century was an illusory golden age created by our competitors being destroyed while we continued reaping the returns of late 19thC growth.
