If you could go back to any decade, which one would it be?

Question

I always say that I was born in the wrong era. I feel like I should've been born in the 70s or something lol. People have been telling me that I have an old soul since I was a kid. I love oldies and I just know I would rock the hell outta some bell bottoms 😂😂.

If I could go back to any decade it would probably be a toss up between the 80s or the 90s. I was born in the late 80s, but I'd like to go back and experience the whole decade. And the 90s? That decade is always gonna be elite. Music, TV shows, fashion, toys... the 90s were lit!

Which decade would you go back to?

I fluctuate between the 90s and 00s. For the United States, the 1980s were also great, but not for the East, which was still under communist dictatorship. The 1990s were the years of freedom. There was still no internet, people were still communicating in real life, they had not yet been zombied by modern technology. There was almost no political and ideological polarization. Everyone said what they wanted and no one was offended by anything - people were really free. This is the time of videotapes, the time of cable TV. Love it. I was little then, but I'm still glad I have memories of that time. The 00s were cool too. The Internet had appeared then, but it was not yet so widespread. It was something new and interesting, but it hadn't completely taken over people's lives. Not everyone had a computer and internet at home. There were even internet cafes. It was fun and interesting to go to an internet cafe and have fun with a computer game, for example. The left ideologies had not yet taken over the minds of the people, there were no offended people, no gay marriages, no crazy feminists, no BLM, no crazy socialists and SJWs. Good times, then with Obama, things went in a very bad direction, and we all saw what that led to. Of course, this is a personal opinion, do not get angry and offended if you do not agree, lol.

The 80's were a great time to be a young person. Things were still somewhat innocent yet technology was just beginning to take off. As a kid we spent much more time outside riding bikes, going to the beach, playing stick ball, skateboarding and playing hide and go seek than we did sitting in front of the tv. When Atari came out we would go inside and play until someone got pissed after losing and we went right back outside.

The movies that came out in the 80's were some of the best and even the music was good. I can vividly remember going to see movies like back to the future, et, return of the jedi, gremlins and so many others and just sitting there and loving every minute.
VCR's were just becoming a common household thing and it meant that you no longer had to wait a year for your favorite movie to maybe be on tv hopefully on a night you were home. Microwaves are another thing that were new to homes and suddenly one could heat something up in a couple minutes rather than wait an hour for it to cook in the oven.
Maybe it is because of the age I was at during the 80's, but I like to believe that was a time when old started blending with new and we got the best of each.

I was a young child through the 80's but I remeber how crazy cool and awkward the 80's were. The styles (ha ha), hair, music, music videos, the attitudes... very weird, very unique decade... not sure that it has gone compete full circle like the rest of the times have!

Either the 50’s when our world was more pure and had the glamorous, golden age of Hollywood
the 90’s because that had some of the best tv and music! I was born in 1994 so I would love to go back and see everything I missed.

smahala1991 · Answer

I loved the 90s till about 2009 era. Although it seems like everything hit a switch after 9/11 2001.

Anonymous · Answer

The 80's were a bit primative and dangerous as a kid. 😅
We didn't wear seatbelts, our parents smoked cigarettes constantly and there was only like 3 channels on our tv. We were outside with our friends constantly.
The 90's and early 2000's were good for me.
That's where I would probably travel back to visit.
Technology was at a healthy point in history.
I was way more popular with women before social media and hookup apps.
I had awesome relationships before smartphones and internet porn went mainstream.
Music and movies were amazing and people believed in individualism rather than following each other and following trends constantly.
There was a feeling of acceptance during the late 90's.
It was just a different time.

I wouldn't actually want to go back, honestly. I'd want to go forward. Time moved on, but all that pop culture hasn't gone away. It's still there and always will be. It can't be taken away. I've seen it before and while I enjoyed it while it was new, I'm eager for the next new thing.

Crazybeeguy · Answer

90s before social media happened, people actually had real dates. You could get a girls number and she was not having 30 conversations at once. It was easier to have more intimate conversations.

Ninjazzed · Answer

The 90s were perfection. The movies were hip and timeless.. and technology was advanced enough to the point of keeping everyone interested and entertained, while it didn’t completely disconnect everyone from day to day.

stargazeraug1989 · Answer

Definitely the 1950s. As an American, I know that my country has always had its fair share of problems, but the 1950s were undoubtedly the most prosperous time the United States ever saw. Television was wholesome, Sinatra reigned supreme, cars were streamlined and beautiful, some people actually cared about how they looked before they left the house.

The early 70's when Jimi Hendrix, Cream>Blind Faith, the Dead were healthy and touring. I think I'd like to go to 68-72. Lsd was legal until 1965. Birth Control pills were invented just a few years earlier. No one had heard of AIDS.

The good part of the '70s was, I had two beautiful, intelligent daughters. The not-so-good part is, I had a racing accident that laid me up late in the decade and most of the next one.
