You Pick The Decade

[Anglo-Celtic]

If you could pick a decade in which to live your whole life, what decade would it be? You spend the first ten years of your life there, and when you reach 11, you go back to the start of it. It's a ten-year "groundhog decade". I'd pick the '80s because it was a freer and saner time with a much better culture that was free of extremes.

60s or 70s probably. 80s looks like it was interesting because that era was really special in terms of music and pop culture of the United states.

Probably the 50s. Good mix of relatively modern technology and medicine, lots of jobs for the average man, and still largely socially conservative, at least by today's standards. Families still intact, no feminism, racial segregation, TV only on for a few hours a day and mostly quiz shows, kids played outside. Negatives were that the film and music scene were largely poor, god damn Elvis. Early 50s please.

The 60s and onwards is when everything went badly wrong.

"You spend the first ten years of your life there, and when you reach 11" wouldn't really matter which decade then as long as it's not during the Black death in Europe

None. I wouldn't want to repeat a single day of history.

People always think things were better in the past, regardless. Every generation will think the subsequent generations are crazy. You could find a lot of overlap between the late 80s and early 90s for instance. It's not like the culture just suddenly shifts in such an abrupt manner.

But the 60s were sheer degeneracy. Hippies, feminism and a bunch of drug addicts. The 70s and 80s both had issues, but people still believed they had a bright future or at least a chance to obtain something beneficial. Less technology encroachment into everything, some political correctness but nothing like the drowning tsunami of today's culture. However, things like gangs, drugs, and political corruption were rampant.

If you pulled the numbers, the amount of TV watched per day by the average kid in the 80's paled in comparison to the amount of time the average kid spends consuming social media today.

In the 90's negro culture was already being glorified and the rot was taking hold. Things didn't just suddenly go to shit for no reason.

There was still SOME good things 2000-2009ish. There was some okay music. A handful of decent video games. But you knew by then things weren't going to improve.

There was every bit as much misery back then as there is now but the movies and music were a little better. That's it.

There were also less spics and other undesirables in the States. Less ooga boogas in the UK too lel.
