Which decade do you think was better to grow up in?

Politically? Entertainment-wise? Society-wise?
Opinions of all sorts welcomed.

Really hard to decide for me. While I feel that I could've had better luck now finding more kids who would have liked me and understood me, at the same time it seems like I got lucky getting out of high school and adolesence when I did...I think teens today have it a lot worse now with problems like cyberbullying, sexting, and cliques/lifetsyles that lean toward the negative and unsympathetic such as Emo or rich-b*tch.

All I can say is that I reckon either would have been preferable to the 80s (when I grew up), or to the upcoming recession-hardened decade.

Would have chosen the 60s if I could have grown up in any decade last century though.

I agree, the cartoons shown nowadays are very different and many of them sucks.

2000s, my Walkman with tape player and radio was crap compared to the iPods and iPhones I've had over the years...

'90s. Simply because I'd imagine that socializing back then meant NOT looking at the screen of your high-tech phone and holding a text-message conversation while holding a real-life conversation. Socializing would have been socializing, and being in front of a computer would have been being in front of a computer.

Growing up in the '90s was a blast for me. Not a day goes by whenever I miss that glorious decade...

I couldn't agree more. Nowadays, if a cartoon isn't in 2.5D, nobody cares about it. I love old TV shows so much. I was born in '95, but that time was still better than the 2000s.

The 90s, because I do not like how I am know and I like how I used to be.

For the 2000's, sports was better but for the 90's, everything else was better.

1990's
A time of economic prosperity and no wars.

2000's
9/11, War In Afghanistan, War In Iraq, 2001 recession, 2007 recession, U.S. national debt doubled, and several awful hurricanes.
