If you had to pick a decade, from the 1920s to recent, which one would you prefer to live in at around age 25? Please specify why in the comment.

I'm won't be twenty-five until the year 2004. The 00 decade is the one in which I want to be in my prime. This is because I've enjoyed the decades in which I grew up.

The 1980's was when I was 25 and that seemed to work out okay.

I'm into new things, the future. I wouldn't want to live in the past for my twenties. Going back on a trip would be fun, I just wouldn't want to stay too long.

I used to think the 60s, 'cause I'm kind of a hippy, but things are just so *interesting* now.

I said the 80's, not because the 80's were cool, but because it would mean that I would have grown up in the 70's and the 70's seem like they would definitely be a cool time to have grown up.

I personally think the turn of the century around 25 is kinda neat :)

it was either now or the 60's because I feel the most resonant to what's going on at these times

70's. I want to listen (live) the authentic groove sound.

I am happy with the era I grew up in, and don't see the need to change it. If anything, I would opt for further into the future.

DISCO!!!!!!!!!!!

Good music. That's the stuff dreams are made of: acid rock. Jaime, that's where the good stuff is. You've got it goin' on.

90s - then I'd be ten years younger. For me, the answer to "in which year would you like to be 25?" is "the one we're in".

Hmm, this was a toughie. I chose the 1920's, but not after thinking about it for awhile. For me it was a toss up between the roaring twenties and the summer of love in the sixties. I think both would be very interesting times to live during. The twenties won out as my first choice because I love swing music and swing dancing, and I know that if I was around then I certainly wouldn't have any trouble finding a dance partner.

I love my life and wouldn't have wanted to live it at any other time.

I like the way things are now so the 90's for me.

I'd stay in the eighties forever...before they invented that gangsta crap and music actually had melodies to it...

The 70's because that's when I was and I enjoyed it tremendously. Music, drugs, booze, sex ...

cuz I'd be too old for the draft, and it was an exciting time. . .this is thru the lens of history of course if any of you were alive at that time and at that age, I'm sure you're holding your head and saying "oh MAN" right now. .. (at my choice I mean. . not out of some stereotype for sixtieshippies or anything)

1940s -WWII had just ended, and people were starting their life with lots of money, a house, and big families. The American dream has changed for the worse

I like my life - there are ups and downs, but for the most part it is good.

I suspect I am in the minority, but I actually like the 90's ...(though it turns out that I am in majority...go figure)

Maybe the 1960's... I would participate in all of the important civil-rights and anti-war demonstrations my parents did not participate in, to atone for their apathy.

free love baybee!

The 1920s, because there'd be no one talking about how horrible the 1930s were. The 'War to End All Wars' was over, and WWII hadn't happened yet. I think it may have been one of the happiest decades. Then again, I miss the late 60's when people cared about things that really mattered.

I don't think there was as many problems then or at least people were not aware of them. It was a very care free time!

I know I like the time I live in now, and I suspect the role of women in any other age would drive me nuts.

i dropped out of high school and now i'm getting rich! that wasn't very easy until now.

Would have loved to have been around when protests meant something! When we first began to realize that the government was lying to us. And tho' I am an ex-drug user, wouldn't have minded trying government created LSD, just once, lol! When love was in the air and the Age of Aquarius meant peace and not death!

1980's because I would like to have been a teen during the 70's.

I think the 1950s. I was almost going to say the roaring 20s because I could see all the cool mobsters in NYC and Chicago. But from the 1950s I could really see the 20th century.
ARTEMIS: I am so with you on that! :)

although the 60's definitely sounded interesting, i'm pretty happy with the 90's

Free love, women's liberation, Woodstock, etc. I'm a hippie at heart! Though if it were 90's, I would be younger now. Hmmm...

I'm assuming that I would be born at the appropriate time, etc. rather than being "transplanted". If so, then the '90's. If transplanted, then the '50's...

Now, because it's what I have and know... I never really wished to live in another time, at least not one as close as the beginning if the century.

if it were 'knowing what I do now' then anything early would be good, you could be rich.. otherwise, I am fine where I am. (although the 60's could have been fun).

The 90s rock! If I want something from a previous decade I can go to a museum.

90s, 'cuz it's the one I'm living in. I think I'd have enjoyed other decades had I lived in them, but living in them now would be a serious bummer. On the other hand, I'd definitely consider pushing forward a few decades...
