80s without a doubt.

Nintendo made its mark, TV was fresh, music was fiya, fashion was outlandish/comical

No cell phones and kids learning self-preservation

For me it was the 80’s. Like someone mentioned, before cell phones and social media. My parents say the 50’s

The 90s was basically the 80s + dialup internet porn + a/s/l/pic?

Therefore, 90s was the goat.

I was a teenager in the 70's and it was glorious. It would have been even better if I was getting laid.

Late 80’s-early 90’s. No internet, no cell phones, no social media, only 30 channels on tv.

Best thing was no political correctness. You could get away with murder figuratively. Everybody had a sense of humor or were thick skinned. Nobody got offended by much. If you got bullied, you took it outside to fight.

Drugs, alcohol, teenage pregnancy, std’s were issues. Kentucky led the country in teenage pregnancy. Their kids are now in college or graduating high school. One girl I know is 41 years old and all three of her kids are already out of high school. All different dads to.

The girls were awesome. They could get down and party as hard as you could. They were of the hit it and quit it era to. Now they’re single moms.

Is this like a dual BBQ or something?

You have so much beef that you need two BBQ pits to grill it all?

I was a 90's teen having been born in 1980, so partial to that decade. But the 80's looked like they were pretty damn rad, too.

I spent my entire childhood in the 80s and teens and early 20s in the 90s. It was a perfectly fine time to grow up although I think being born in about 1968 would have been ideal for me.

I'm thankful that I grew up social media, cell phone/internet free.

I was in HS and college in the 90s so I’m partial bc of the fun and great music, but the Dazed and Confused style, cars , and music looks like that would have been a kick in the arse.

I was a teenager from 82-89 but I remember most of the 70s. Obviously I’m biased but having had teenage kids recently I’d have to say 70s/80s. Internet and smartphones are the absolute devil for teens.

I think we can all agree that it certainly isn't this one.
