Which decade do you wish you where born into?
Which decade would you have liked to live in? 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s etc...
I have always been fond of the 50s. The girls had class, Nice cars, 5 cents for a burger, the pop culture is so homie. Loved those cheesy TV advertisments to, haha! X)
Everything about the 50s was amazing, rock stars that are legends today like buddy holly, Elvis presly, Johny cash where all uprising more or less around this time.
I would have liked to be born at 1945s so that i'd be going throught my teen years during this time. I'd probly end up being a greeser, haha! Those guys where so cool. :)
So what decade would you have liked to be born into? What do you like about it and why does it outmatch all the others?
Thank you for reading and paticipating! <3 Oak :)

The 1000's. Sure as hell would like to know what's going on then.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
Lol, for me the shoe is on the other foot. Granted I loved the the time period I grew up in. But when i was a kid, I grew up skateboarding, same time the DogTown was going on. I still remember heading to the nearest magazine store that carried the skateboard magazines to see what new stuff the West Coast was doing, so we could try it where I was growing up at.
But I would of loved to of been born maybe 10 or 20 years later, when the XGames started up. All the stuff I did as a kid, but wasnt mainstream and got no press, all of a sudden came to light. Between skateboarding, bmx riding and dirt bike riding. I would of been in heaven. Seeing the stuff they were doing then going out and trying it. Granted I might also be dead from the attempts. :p
Plus, I loved the fact I grew up in the dawn of video gaming, still can remember getting an Atari 2600 for Christmas and playing it till it broke. But knowing the leaps and bounds the computer age has gone thru in the past 40 years, and just thinking what its like in the next 40 years, and hoping I am still alive to see the changes.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I like to have born in the 90's, as caught up with the first Pokemon GB games xD
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I wish I was born in the early 90s just because I do not really care for the 80s, but I mostly don't care.
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
Maybe around 1940s, I think its because I admire the history of it so much. But maybe the one thing I won't like during the time era during the Japanese invasion. :/ My then second choice would be the 1990s, I'm a 90s kid. Forever and always.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
well i want to be like a 80s guy cuz i just love their style back then
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I agree with @MVPDJ23 . I would prefer the 80s simply because of the music that came to be. (i.e. Metallica, Anthrax, Vader, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, etc.)

Born
I would like to go back in the late 60s early 70s so I could be in the nam war

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
Never really thought about it. I'd like to live in fourteen hundred years ago.
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
1850's when bud was legal.
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
The 1940's.
I adore the simplicity of the time, desite the chaos that was War World II.
Plus, if I were born during then, I would still be around to experience the 1960's and Beatlemania. :wink:

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
For once I'm going to have to say I am perfectly satisfied where I am. Well, if anything I'd rather be in the future, but who knows what that is really like, so that's a gamble. I wouldn't want to be anytime in the past because I am a progressive, and if I lived in the past it would be a step further back.
People go on about how they'd live in the past because they had better music, but that's silly. We have all of the music from back then to listen to today. I understand wanting to see bands like The Beatles live, but I have artists that I love today, and I'm glad I have been able to see them, and I have the entire The Beatles discography to listen to, so I'm happy.
Besides living in this time I have access to a lot more music, and I have access to it very conveniently through devices like MP3 players. I wouldn't want it any other way. This is the best time to live.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
90's because i don't want to live in times where the technology for games and whatnot compared to now is nothing ^__^
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
Dont think I would change it... growing up in the 80's. If anything I'd probably go into the future if I could, or further back like a few hundred years.
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
70's, so I could actually enjoy the 80's. Or whatever the medieval times were would've been nice I guess.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I would've loved the twenties or the fifties. Back when celebrities actually had talents (*cough*Kardashians*cough*), musicals were everywhere, burlesque and cabaret were still alive and well, the dancing was so much more fun, and the music was awesome! <3 (Some of these obviously only apply to one of them. :P hehe) I've actually had people tell me I belong back then in one of them before. Then again, people have also said that about the eighties, which I also wouldn't mind to be totally honest. xD

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I wish I was born into the 1920s/1930s - I fancy myself as gangster ;3
-
Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I think the 20's would have been lovely to live through but I would not want to be alive for the 30's when the Great Depression began. Nor would I enjoy World War II.
Aside from that, rather than going back in time I'd like to be born a few hundred years in the future. Just to see how humanity has changed and what they've all done with their lives. Of course it's a bit scary to think about the future what with all the problems these days and not being sure about where everything is headed but I think it would be really cool at the same time. It's always fun to imagine the future in that sense for all of the potential and good things it could be rather than just the bad.
Other than that, I'm quite happy being born in the 90's. Perhaps earlier in the 90's or the late 80's so that I could remember a bit more of it, but I also like still being able to not have to worry about being grown up quite yet. Although it's just around the corner, I still enjoy being a kid. I wouldn't, however, want to be a 2000's kid. I feel they missed a lot of great things that came with being a kid in the 90's and though there may be a lot more advanced technology these days, being a kid is about being outside and enjoying your time with your friends. Not worrying about who is dating who on fb or who is tweeting what or even what Bieber's new album is. It was just so much simpler and easier. No one was worried about you growing up too fast or even pushing you to grow up to fast. Plus, Pokemon. Seriously.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I almost feel like I was supposed to have grown up in the sixties, immersed in hippie culture and experimenting with hallucinogens. Make love, not war <3 ;)

The '50s as you know it from popular culture is a manufactured lie. The McCarthy anti-communist witch hunt blacklisted media workers who did not portray the officially sanctioned version of America. It's a lot like the media control in China today. The '50s were a pretty damn dark part of American history.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
The one I was born in. I'd rather not die of gall bladder infection and have no way to get it out/diagnose it- the hospital I went to had a hard enough time figuring out what the heck was wrong with me.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I wish I was born in the 70's that was a cool era so were the 80's those would be the two decades I would like to have been born in.

Even if this is true, there's no mistaking the amazing music of th 50s that still has an impact on millions today.

Only the good stuff is memorable. There were just as many hacks back then as there are now. The farther into the past you get, the less of the crap music people remember.

Yes, this is true. It's true that there where just as many crap musicians back then as there are today. But that's where the similaritys end. There arn't as many great musicians these days. When you compare hits of today, to the hits 60 (more or less) years ago, there is no question.

There's still good music being made. It just drowns in the aforementioned crap (and is released very rarely). Give it 50 years, and the music of the '00s will have been condensed down to nothing but talent.

I sure hope so, right now it's not showing much promise.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I would always be born in this decade.It is a time were people who are weird,and smart are accepeted.Where being a nerd is cool.Honsetly,if I was born into any other decade,I would probably have killed myself by now,no joke.
Also,it is a time where women and girls can amount to something.Yes,you could say there were other decades you could do this,but none some much a now.Finally,women are getting almlst the same amount of pay in the workplace,and are escalating to higher job opportunities.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
My favorite decade was the 1990's. I grew up in it for the majority of my childhood.
So I experienced my favorite decade already.
Went to theme parks always every week, the 1996 summer Olympic games in america, the reign of my home basketball team: Chicago Bulls, my crazy elementary school.... so many memories.

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I think I'm ok with the time I was born.
so, not much to change xD

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I was born in the 90's, and I love it. I don't think I could enjoy being born in any other generation. I don't really get any of the other ones.
Oh well.
1995 is the best year and I'm proud that it was the year I was born.

Well I could try and argue why 1995 is better but instead all I will say is:
It is awesome that you and your car are from the same year :) :) :)

Re: Which decade do you wish you where born into?
I like to live in a time we have now. In a way we do have a chance to enjoy all the previous decades. It is accepted and cool to wear clothes of any decade to suit ur personal style.
And we can enjoy ALL the music made on all these decades!!! I think that really is something.
I wouldnt have mind to have born ten years earlier than i did, just to experience 80's as teenager/adult rather than a lil kid.
A bit too little i was then to take it all in.
