What was your worst decade?

Did the seventies suck, or was it just because I was a teenager then.

My experince of the seventies was dreadfull, however from watching old reruns of the seventy show, it looked kind of fun. Maybe they didn't have disco in Wisconsin :)

The 90's for me. Im truly glad they are over.

This decade (the 00s) hasn't been good for me. The 80s and 90s were ok, but overworked to the point of burnout in the 90s.

The 70's were okay,
The 80's were great,
Aside from meeting my wife, and getting married, the 90's sucked.

I haven't had what I would consider a bad decade yet.... and I'm almost to my 6th one.

I dunno if it's "bad" really, but the 90s were pretty much a blur of weird jobs, drinking, weird relationships, drinking, waking up in strange towns/cities, drinking....

Ummm... yah, the 90s were my worst decade.

weird jobs, drinking, weird relationships, drinking, waking up in strange towns/cities, drinking....

That sounds like PubCon:)

And that's your worst decade? Sounds like a lot of fun to me..;-)

70's: Junior school - flares, tank-tops & platform shoes (even 'normal' kids shoes had platforms!). Ah, such innocent days. Crap music (IMO)...

80's: Senior school - discovered that most of the world was considerably bigger than I was. You could say that I looked up to the kids at my school..;-) Discovered girls, only to find out that they hadn't discovered me. Discovered 60's soul music. Discovered 'work'. As I believe Bill Gates once said to a group of school kids: "If you think your teacher's bad - wait till you meet your boss!" Crap music (IMO)...

90's: Work - and more work. Sex, drugs & rock and roll (mainly without the 'sex' bit). Eventually gave up the drugs & rock and roll to concentrate on beer. Crap music (IMO)...

Noughties: Work - and more work. Discovered Foo - life complete ever since. Crap music (IMO)...

;-)

It's a tossup - between the 60's and the 90's.

For most of the 60's I was too young to participate in the 'revolution' I saw going on around me. I wanted to participate!

The 90's saw an awakening where I came to despise the ignominious situations I had placed myself in... on more than one front. None of these were resolved well, IMO, but resolved nonetheless -- sort of. I simply dropped out (finally, something from the 60's I could use).

>>I'm almost to my 6th one

vkaryl, you're already well into your 6th decade. You start you 7th when you turn 61. ;)

[MatW]

The 80's were semi bad but the 90's suck so much for me :(

[vkaryl]

lawman, sweetheart, it's a real pain when you so publicly point out my idiocies as far as intellect goes. Do you think you MIGHT just consider sticky mailing me privately? *laughing*

I was actually sort of discounting the first decade of my life - who knows from what before the ripe old age of 11?

[Rugles]

At the time, I did not realize how great the 70's were. I really enjoyed them and miss them. I was a child in the 60's and a teen in the 70's, but I even noticed at the time that things were pretty cool.

As I look back the 80's, they were the worst, the music sucked, the politics were horid (in my opinion of course) and every time I found work it did not seem to last. I bought into the whole money/conspicuous consumption thing at the time and turned into such a disapointment. Many others went through that in the late 90's, but by then I was hip to the whole thing and was already rebelling from it.

I loved the resugence of rock in the early 90's, as short lived as it was, it renewed my faith in the youth of the time.

This decade, the 00's is my most secure, and I am as happy as I was in the 70's.

The future is bright, and if you don't believe me just stop reading and watching the news. It is the constant fear and loathing of the media which is driving the collective depression of modern society.

[Essex_boy]

stop reading and watching the news - I havent watched TV for nearly a year and I dont miss it.

80's Music, early 80's that is, was the best, New Romantics.
