Maybe 1950's America, so I could experience the US in its glory at its prime. The media industry at the time, the presidents, (JFK, Eisenhower, Nixon etc...) the cold war, revolutionary architecture, scientific discoveries, the space race, revolution of design industries, tallest buildings on Earth, rapidly growing cities... Would have bin amazing. Suppose it's similar to China today. Unfortunately, today the US is a ****hole.

Other than that, I'm happy today, with technology and plenty of interesting things happening/discoveries. I'd probably take today over any other decade if I was forced to make a choice.

I remember in the 90's, kids [as in myself] would make little swings on the lamposts and build huts and stuff.

The 20's or 30's, that was when everything was new and exciting.. but then they had the depression in the 30s, that woulda been a bit sh*t

I was born at the right time for me in 1990.. In sport Rangers dominated Scottish football and won 7 titles in a row whilst i was growing up 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 ( Only lost the league title once in 1998 in the whole decade ) and the EPL was so much better, Bergkamp, Zola, DiCanio, etc Beckham, Keane, Giggs, Scholes all coming through at United Best Era for video games as well.. FF7, FF8, FF9 ( the best RPG's ever made ) The Kids TV Shows were amazing Zzzap! Playdays, Art attack, Funhouse, get your own back, Noah's island, Spot, Rosie and Jim, Brum, I could go on.

No everyone just went bankrupt and lost all their money, it was the bloody Yanks fault again

Pretty happy being born in 1990. I say it would have been cool to be a Take That fan the first time around, but that's the only reason I'd have wanted to be born in the 80s

[Josy]

I'm happy that I was born in the 80s

[InOne]

Voted 80's but thinking probs 70's cos I could've been alive when the smiths were big. Then a decent age when the rest of the manchester scene happened

Being born in the 80's was excellent. The 90's was an amazing decade to be a kid/teenager in; full of random clothes, music and attitudes.

Also we got to know the world before the internet/mobile phone age and after as it grew popular as we were in our teens.

I wish I'd been born in the 50's, so I'd have been a teen in the 60's so I could've experienced Beatlemania

Life was a lot safer until the mid-1990s. Crime seems to be on rapid increase. My dad always tells me that in 1979 you could leave your door open, go out and come back with your house in the same condition as it was before; crime was scarce in those days. Now, unfortunately, it's the complete opposite.

What have you experienced during the 1990s? Even though there were mobile 'phones, the only additional feature that distinguished it from a normal house telephone was the ability to text. They were like big blocks! In my opinion, up until about 2003/2004, mobile 'phones were like the average house telephone we have today (bar the ability of being able to text).
