I think late 70s, early 80s would be perfect. Not too much technology, but not the stone age
It was hard for a man to make a living during that era. It's why during that period I was working for a tugboat company down Bayou Lafourche. Not that it was a bad thing personally. I made lots of money (and spent a lot too) and got lots of goooooood pussy down the Bayou.

80’s or 90’s.. I would ride my bike for miles, cruising... parents had no idea where I was because they were at work during the summer... stayed out in the neighborhood playing hiding go seek or whatever at night. Would ride bike to elks club at 7 am for practice and not return home til it closed at 9pm. Didn’t care about internet, was fine with just Nintendo. As an adult I would be fine just rewinding 5 years

I think maybe 1967 or so would have been ideal for me.


I was born in 1967. Wouldn’t trade that for any other time.

My dad was born in 1963. I think that would be the perfect time for me. High school late 70's, college early 80's, still fairly young for the 90's, simpler times where you had free reign of the neighborhood, could drink at 18, best music era, could remember the moon landing, etc. That would be my choice.

I'm about a decade younger. I was born a few days into 1978.

Nope, we've actually got it pretty good these days. The things people fret over today are an indication of how great we actually have it and how relatively few real problems most individuals have that aren't largely a result of their own choices in life.

I'm glad I grew up in the 80's, we had fun times
No way I would want to be a teenager in these times with all the social media and pressure and the strong possibility of anything you do wrong becomes ingrained on social media forever

Yes 70-00 is peak America IMO. ~Post-Vietnam, have universal A/C and car ownership, and fully developed airline infrastructure for travel. Music was at its peak at the beginning of this era. Big enemy was the Soviets but we always had them cucked outside of chess.

Gun to my head and if I had to be really specific, I would grow up beginning in mid-late 70s, into the 80s in Southern California. Reagan's California. Technology was more than adequate and you had the advent of arcades and stuff but not brain-melting video games that replaced riding bikes or playing sports in the neighborhood. Hit your stride in your career in the 90s, which was a period of solid economic growth.

Trade smart phones and wifi so I don't have to deal with covid and the woke media lynch mob? Sign me the f&%k up! I'll take any post WWII decade over today. I would love to travel again pre-9/11

No I lived the 80’s 90’s and so on & I missed what I missed, but I’m more interested in what’s to come.

I grew up in the 1940s and 1950s. That was a great time. I guess if I have to choose a different period as this thread requires, I would pick the 20s and 30s thus would have flown Hellcats for the Navy in WWII.

aka "Segregation"


Time is a flat circle, baw. Now blacks are pushing for “segregation” of sorts.

I’d like to see what hunting and fishing was like in North America before it was heavily settled.
