I have no idea how times ACTUALLY were back a couple decades ago(since I didn't live in them), I have only the movies and perhaps the music to show me. I personally like all the nice, sophisticated clothes people wore in the 30's, 40's, 50's, etc. Honestly, I think the music is pretty good, too. For a long time I have liked the 50's era and music especially from the 40's. The people back then I feel like were more open (as in more friendly?), stuff like that.
Also, feel free to provide a realistic description of the decades you lived in.

Music in the 80's is awesome, hence why i voted for the 80's

Roaring Twenties is not a choice, and there is no "Other" vote.

I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Anyway, i don't think any specific decade is better then the other, they all have their ups and downs.

I love it right now.

The 40s, because people were much better dressed. Hats, suits and dresses, no polyester trousers and T shirts and the like. And because I have some kind of false belief that it was all in black and white in those days :D

But today is awesome, what with all the science and medicine and technology and all that useful stuff that helps us survive and develop as a species :D

I've got love for you, if you were born in the 80s...

I voted for the 90s for three reasons.

1)Tool came together in the 90s.

2)Bloodhound Gang came together in the 90s.

3)I was born in the 90s.

It's the unstoppable trifecta of ultimawesome.

Well it was acceptable at the time.

the 60's had the beatles!

80s, because:

1. I was born in the 80s.

2. Communism failed in Russia, therefore Russia sucks ass.

3. Communism failed entirely.

4. Communism failed.

The 20's. Just awesome.

90s had the best music, and the world sort of stabilized after 50-odd years.

80's for the music, fashion and TV.

1920s for some good old fashioned anarchist/labor movement protesting and bombings.
1960s for the social unrest and an opportunity (provided I keep the knowledge of my current time and get to bring stuff) to set off a bomb at Kent State, or one of the civil rights marches where bastards were spraying people down.

I'd go with this normally, but I'm going to have to say 40's this time. Why? Because we had us a big ol' war going on all over the globe, not to mention the better sense of dress and morality, less liberal thought and jolly good music.

The 1890s! Gotta love that fin de siecle.
But seriously, how can anyone think otherwise. Top hats! Tail coats! Monocles!

I'm pretty happy with the way things are right now.

I'ma vote the '00s

I probably should have been born somewhere between the 60īs and 70īs, at the hay day of progressive rock and long hair on men. I could be playing with Jethro Tull *sigh*.

Even on women!? Whatīs there not to like.

Where can I collect my love?

1990's. Encompassed my teenage years, Thatcher finally fucked off, Techno, the threat of being nuked by the Russkies went away and the IRA stopped blowing shit up, home computing technology got heaps better, everything was looking pretty rosy really.

im all for the 00's so far. better technology, plus im old enough to actually do things.
plus the music is awesome, and special effects look better.

Fixed that, sorry

40's-50's if it wasn't for racism idk what to pick. I guess 50's

The swingin' 60's were absolutely fab.

meh.
All times have an equivalent amount of bored.
If pressed, the 60's or 70's 'cause I got maaad disco FEVER.

Only time will tell, el capitalista.

90's, technological breakthroughs and relative peace

lol 43 votes and none for the 70's yet.

80s, especially the 80s punk scene. That was amazing.

As Teal'c would say, "Indeed".

:)

The '40s. Technological explosions look and sound cool.

Well, when China enacts their plans of global domination, don't say you were never warned~

China is a dictator country, but doesn't follow the Communist economy. I see people there owning businesses and reaping profits.

It's Communism by name, but not by economy which it pretty much was all about.

I like the current age. Maybe because I am still young. I like to think the best has yet to come :D

The 40's. How can you beat the oldies?
