The 70s were the best. It was a time between the psychedelic, hippy idealism of the 60s and the pop-fueled materialism of the 80s.

Absolutely the 1980's:

I was in Jr. High, High School and College in the '80's (and the song "1985" totally nails it).

And, of course, there were my 49ers, the Team of the Decade.

I also met my wife in that decade, so there's that, too.

80s. Teens and twenties. Such great music, such ridiculous clothes, such good movies. Plus I had wonderful parents that cut me a lot of slack and let me roam around the country in a hand-me-down '77 Toyota Celica they gave me before I went off to college. I think that was the last decade you could really screw around, make mistakes with abandon and still land on your feet with damned near any major.

I would classify myself an 80's fan boy. I mean I like songs from that decade that would probably make you think I was gay!

But I do listen to other decades too. 50's, 60's, 70,s 90,s and beyond that it's hit and miss. Mostly miss.


Here ya go. Would you think I was gay enjoying this beat? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuz94ZIPfJk (Can't believe this vid has over 19 Mil views. Wow!)

But I don't care for Boy George or Wham. LOL!

Cool! A reprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNhLOfUPHa8 Check out that piano yo!

I like the art deco buildings and furniture from the 1930's.


I personally do not identify with any time period.

I have a very progressive mindset so I identify with right now. I love the current music, mostly European metal, and I love technology so now is super cool. I love running around with a computer on my wrist, gen 2 moto 360, and having touch screen pc's and the like.

Which decade do you identify with?

Entertainment and games? NES, SNES, N64. Definitely a 90s childhood.
Not sure what "identify with" really means though, as I'm clearly still experiencing the decades that follow. I'm guessing you mean the first decade a person is counting as part of their life.

I identify with all that ever was, what is, and ever shall be. I will not be constrained by your limited understanding of time.

I figured this out when I took LSD in the 80's.
Well, there you go... /THREAD.

... but dig, LSD was little more than a secret until the 60's, when it exploded.
