Subject: Worst Decade?
Written By: Donnie Darko on 04/18/06 at 3:46 pm
I'd say either the '00s or the '70s.

The 60s.
For all the good it did, too many good people died.

The '00s. The '70s was redeemed by the sense of fun of disco and some good music, like the singer-songwriters, and good TV and movies. And the casual sex.

At the risk of drawing into a heated debate, I don't particularly like the 70's.
- the clothing (especially the over use of polyester)
- disco
- some of the non disco music
Granted there was some things about the 70's I do like....
- some of my favorite bands/singers got their start during the 70's, or at least perform some of their best songs then.
- some of my favorite films/TV shows are from the 70's.
The one decade I really don't like/glad not to have live through is the 60's.

The 1340's. I hated them.

I think that the 1330's were slightly worse.

Hmm. There's too much to debate on this to do it in this thread. We need to start a new one specifically for this topic.

I never much liked the 1340's either. Although I could also do without the 1020's and 600 B.C.

The 80s sucked, but at least they gave us Morrissey, Momus, and other bands you may not know that I enjoy.
The 70s have had a few good songs and a few cool cultural things, but just not enough to redeem itself.

At the risk of getting shot down in flames - the 80's :o
Particularly the latter half ::)

I like some things about the '80s, but I think to some degree '80s-love in current pop culture has gone too far. I mean, we need to remember people had real problems then and you couldn't escape Dynasty. It was sort of a substance-less decade...the '90s, meanwhile, almost had too much substance. And the late '80s mainstream culture wasn't all that interesting.

I definitely think the decade is sugar-coated in neon glaze. If I was born in 1970, rather than 1990 I doubt I'd be as fascinated with the '80s.
