The American Dream was still intact in the 80s. |
As opposed to what? Not getting old? No thanks, I want to live to see retirement, my adult kids, my grandchildren, and if I'm really lucky, my great-grandchildren.

+1 Also, getting to grow up before social media. |
Or even worse a Gen-Z-er |
Er . . . and you will be too, faster than you think. |

Born in the early 70’s, a kid/teen of the 80’s, and adult in the 90’s. 90’s were the most fun for obvious reasons. 80’s had better music. 70’s weren’t really relevant to me because I was 8 in 1979…
All that being said, I would prefer to live in southern California as a young adult in the late 50’s or early 60’s. |
And you’re stupid. I guess we each have our cross to bear, huh? |
The importance of this cannot be overstated. |
Haha. I’d say not my parents, maybe some of the guests. These parties went very late into the night, every one was dressed to the 9’s in sequence and Halston caftans, lots of dancing and music. They worked hard and partied harder. I’ve never been able to replicate the vibe, maybe it this is why. |
Omg yes! I feel bad that my kids will never know what real fun is. |
| I'd prefer the 80's. The 90's music, movies, and fashion was worse. I had a good childhood so I'd go back to the 80's but there are advantages to being older and more mature. In the 90's I was listening to music from the 70's. |
Calm down pawpaw, not good for your heart! |
You’ll never be as healthy at my age as I am, kid. You grew up in a clean room eating vegan baby food and had peanut allergies. You never went outside without sunblock and never ate dirt while making mud pies. Your immune system is a fraction of mine. If I ever need a heart transplant, they’ll be lots of young organ donors from your generation able to provide one, because you insist on riding e-scooters in traffic with EarPods and no helmet. |
| Two of the best decades. Hard to choose. |

I think most everyone will pick the decade they were in their 20s as the best.
1980s for me. |
