90s.

80's and it is not particularly close.

Born in 72, so 1/2 70's and 1/2 80's.
80s were best, and people saying 90's don't understand that it was just a pale comparison to the 80's. you need a little bit of hard times (growing up with the cold war) to strengthen a person. the 90's peace dividend from the post ww2 era to end of the cold war softened the 90's babes so badly they are the horrible parents of today's teens.
/old man rant over.

Not this one.

80s by far

The 80s were pretty cool if you had Satellite TV like we did. Going over to my Grandparents I was bored as shite, they only had 4 channels.

Playing outside was about the same in any era.

I would say 2000-2010, had the internet, could DL whatever music you wanted, download movies.

The 70s were pretty cool I imagine, best era for music, could do pretty much whatever you wanted but that was before my time.

I nominate the 1970s…do I hear a second? (deafening roar)…

Well I “grew up” mid 50s-end 60s. 50s were blah. 60s were one-half 50s, one half Vietnam. In short, 60s sucked. But…then came 70s.

I returned from Vietnam end 1968… was single, in out of college in 70s between jobs. I thought I had gone to heaven. Greatest music ever, the Band, Greatdul Dead, Hendrix’s, Bohemian rhapsody, etc… pre aids and other std, post birth control.. pre fast food flab.

True, the idiot-Carter era was tough economically, gas crisis, 55 mph speed limit, and the way we dressed was laughable… but far better music, movies, art movements, sports, football, Coach Bryant, Steelers vs Raiders (when football was football) than 80s or 90s. .

Cars were still American with muscle, motorcycles were Harleys and Limys, interstates were uncrowded, CB radios, SEC had unique culture - screw those Yankees, baseball was king, no damn cell phones, Monday night football, Saturday night live…

Yep…1970s was it.,

80’s

No cameras everywhere.

2-parent households still actually raised their kids

Enough TV for entertainment but not enough to keep you inside all the time

No internet/no cell phones. People actually had to trust each other’s word.

Chicks didn’t have nasty arse tattoos all over their body

You could make poor decisions, learn from them, and not be punished for the rest of your life like now.

Far less racial tension than today. Not even close
