These were my times. I graduated high school in 1954 and headed off to college. Notice the pride in personal appearance. The same pride also carried through to personal conduct and a job well done.

But there is a strong argument for the 50’s and early 60’s.

So you are in your late 80s? I can't imagine too many people your age could figure out how to post a link on TD. I guarantee you my dad couldn't

Seems terrible.

80s/90s were great

Honestly now is probably the best. Don’t listen to the media that tells you shits terrible. Life is good.

Better question, have you?

With all the soy from your morning Starbucks, your luck is rapidly declining but your tits probably aren’t.

As long as you were in college by/during the 90s, you probably had a much better life then anyone after.

The millennium was pretty much the dividing point, sounds about right.

Compared to people a few decades before that all those people were woefully underdressed.

Time changes things. Not always for the best, but not always for the worst either.
