Discussion What decade is your favourite?

[Hobbit]

Do you have a favourite decade? If so, do you wish you could go back to it? Or did you experience it?
I, for one, was a '99 baby, but man do I yearn for the 90s despite being in the womb and only being alive for 3/4 of 1999. It seemed like a simple time, honestly. But I also love the 2000s, partially because of nostalgia from being raised in that decade. The very early 2010s were pretty cool, but that was when things started going downhill, at least during the middle portion of the 2010s. I think my love for the 2000s/2010-2013 is because of nostalgia, honestly. Life was simpler back then. I had no worries. (Well, I don't really have any worries nowadays because I'm a NEET who receives disabilitybux, but you get my point.) I guess I'm not alone in romanticising the past, because with each generation comes a new set of people who say "I wish I was born in x year," or, "I was born in the wrong generation." Romanticism of the past is quite common among new generations, and even those who experienced the old generations and thus have rose-tinted glasses on when looking back at them.
So, I repeat:
Do you have a favourite decade, and do you wish you could re-experience it again or experience it for the first time?

I wish I had lived the 90s better, At least keep memories of toys or other things that I may have had at that time, I keep almost nothing of it.

Early 2010s was pretty cool. I remember coming home from school and playing Wii or my PC.

70s mogged for music. Wish I could live then.
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer, Yes, King Crimson, Rush, Mahavishnu, Sabbath, Zeppelin, VdGG, Return to Forever, Miles Davis. Many god tier artist you could see live and for mere dollars. Music was actually something you had to experience first hand, you either heard about an artist word of mouth, saw them as an opening act, or got into them through vinyl cover art that intrigued you.

Could have owned a home a year after graduating high school, and raise a family. Would already be retired at this point in time if I was born back then. Instead a rot on forums.

Racism was right think. Could push niggers out of my community and assault minorities, receiving a Nobel piece prize for my actions.


Imagine serving in Vietnam. Killing gooks while dropping lsd and listening to sabbath back at your barracks

Listening to music back then definitely seemed more special for the reasons you mentioned. Up until the internet, you either listened through radio, vinyl, or CD. Most people only had a collection of albums and they would trade with other people. The thing with the internet is every song is available, for free, and it takes only seconds to find. While that is great for finding new types of music and songs, it takes the specialness out of listening to a new album or song. Though im not sure I would 100% like the idea of listening to music that isn’t on the internet because I listen to some Jpop and the chance of finding Japanese originated songs in the west then is low.
