OT ~ Favorite Decade

[Alexlind123]

What is your favorite decade, and why?

My favorite decade by far is the 1990s. Other than the fact that it is the only other decade besides the current one that i can remember anything of, it has numerous advantage over the decades of the previous century and the current one.

Here is a list of just a few of the things the 90s has going for it:

- The economy. While its not bad now, it was definitely booming in the 90s

- The clothes. They stopped being ugly like they were in the 80s.

- Cars. They stopped being quite as ugly in general as they were in the 80s

- Colors. People had no taste in color (or anything else, for that matter) in the 80s

- The music. There was some good music in the 90s.

- The cartoons. They didnt suck like they do now. Animaniacs is a great example, possibly the best cartoon ever made.

- Tamagotchis. No explanation needed.

- Half-life. An awesome PC game. The most revolutionary PC game.

- The magic school bus.

- Mortal Kombat

- Pokemon. Awesome gameboy game. Anyone still have a charizard card?

- Furbys. Remember those?

- Beanie babies. Oh wait, thats not a good thing...

- E34s.Cant argue with that one.

- My car. Its a 1990.

- Me? I was almost born in 1990...one year and 17 days before.

Everything in general just got so much more cool in the 90s, technology in perticular. Im sure there are some important things that i missed, but these are just a few off the top of my head.

Hawaii was a much more "cooler" place to be.

Only two good things came out of the '80s: My collar, and me.

Fresh prince was totally 90's, man.

Yea Bob it's such a burden to live there now I'm sure. 19 deg. outside here.

I'd say the 80's because coke and sweat bands are as good a combo as spahgetti and meatballs.

Being a "little" older then most of you guys I'd have to go for the 60's from 63 on into the early 70s. It was an incredible time to come of age & I enjoyed every minute of it.

Late '60s & 70s. My formative years. Great cars, short skirts before young girls were fat, great music and a zillion other baby boom friends in a nice suburb.
Feeling a bit nostalgic now. Having been relegated to you guys and a bottle of red while the GF dulls her otherwise sharp mind watching American Idol.

This is way too funny! How can you say the 90's were cooler than the 80's when your judgement of the 80's is based on your 90's perspective? The 90's win hands down as the most bland decade. The 80's were far cooler than the 90's if you were actually there to know.

I recall one 80's Christmas my brother and I got fanny packs from someone. One black, one neon yellow. We had a fist fight over who got the neon yellow one. That is why the 80's rocked.
