    Default Coolest decade?

    What was the "coolest" decade in american history?

    The coolest decade imo has to go to the 80s. God damn the 80s were so bad ass - awesome music, awesome hair, awesome one-liners in movies.... awesome ambience in general.

    Remember back when cars were actually cool?



    remember these songs?

    Lol, are you retarded OP? George Washington put up a good fight, but his soldiers morale was very low and not that well trained, we wouldn't be the U.S today if the French didn't blockade the British. George Washington was definitely a great leader and it just wasn't fair that he died to "epiglottitis"... he deserved a honorable death, not an assassination by jews.

    20s was terrible if you weren't a guy or hot broad and the south was still poorer than ever even before the great depression(which ain't shit compared to 2007-2012), but even if you were a guy you would have been drafted into WW2 beyond your own will. Personally, I would love to serve my nation, but not serve the private banks which what WW2 was all about.

    my buddy was reminiscing over the 80s last night, which makes not much sense since hes 22 until you meet him and realize he knows everything about the 80s... i only caught two years of it unfortunately. i think that's the decade where the "we know we're cool" streak that launched in the 60s truly peaked... and then eventually ushered in the self-conscious 90s and the paralysis of the new millennium where we can't even figure out what cool means anymore.

    I think Nanners is being sarcastic. The 80s had some terrific music, unlike the 3 examples of shit he posted. There was tackiness galore and a lot to poke fun at, but there was an underlying subculture that was really cool.

    For me I've always been fascinated with the 1920s.

    my hard on is for the 60s and that isn't changing any time soon

    early 60s tho, before everything really caught fire, while the tight collars were still scratching their heads wondering what the hell everybody was so hot and bothered about... that would have been fun to witness

    it'll be remembered as the beginning of a cultural revolution similar to the enlightenment but perhaps not of the same magnitude... though not for another few hundred years

    I have to admit there's a fondness in my heart for parachute pants and Frankie Says Relax t-shirts. Here's some of my fave tunes from that decade:

    The 80s was all about tacky excess. It was a d*uchebag's paradise.

    The 1880s during the outlaw era in the west. The roaring 20s. The 60s.

    Those were some interesting decades.

    I'm actually with Nanners on this, I am biased though because I grew up in the 80s.

    Love the 80s...esp the movies (cheezy ninja movies are the shit, see avy)

    Some Motley Crue or Guns and Roses...cheezy hair metal was great
