golden era of childhood
some new technology, TV, cars, became more affordable
GI bills gave everybody a standard of living which might not be affordable before
relative safety when you kept your eyes open/ unlocked house doors
gangs used bats and chains not rifles and pistols (there are always bad people but a kid street fight in 10th grade was punches and kicks not pistols and knives)

begining was like the late 50's
duck and cover practice was the most dangerous part of the day

Pretty hard to beat the '70's and early '80s in Rural New England. A lot sucked in the country and the world in retrospect... but for a farm kid in a country town in Northern New England, it was about as perfect a time to grow up as there was anywhere!
The '90's for me were a whirlwind of high-tech. Must have been interesting for a kid.... the biggest thing(s) that happened to use technologically were... a color TV (I remember the Dukes of Hazzard first season in Black and White), the Sony Walkman (I did not get one.) And Ghetto Blasters (I did get one.)
Other than that it was dirtbikes, rifles and hunting all the time, horse farm chores, playing with cars (now valuable muscle cars, back them $100 cars that we could fix up and swap motors in)... riding bicycle 10 miles to friends housees (and hoping I could get a ride back). Catching frogs in local ponds. Fishing. Playing army or cowboys and Indians. Swimming holes that were 'real' swimming holes... and ponds. Sledding and skiing (we got free passes from school). Picking up bottles and cans to turn them in to buy RC Cola and Pretzel Sticks. Picking up stray golf balls in the woods around the local course and selling them back to golfers. And parents expecting us to be GONE after breakfast... not hanging out in the house. And at 15, you got a farm drivers license if you had a farm (we did). Which meant chores like getting feed weekly. And going to a job when not doing farm chores. And otherwise being useful.
I can't imagine growing up any better way!

Preach it brother
Teens these days act like social retards (I have one) and technology allows some an avenue to be cruel to other teens without the risk of getting their fucking lights punched out.
In the sixties $20 could buy you a full tank of gas dinner for you and your girlfriend with enough leftover for a three pack of condoms and a six pack of beer.
The 60’s were good and we had muscle cars.
Last time SNL was funny was back in the late 70's......" Jane, you ignorant slut...." The 90's....???? Pffttt...

Early 90s had In Living Color and late 90s had Mad TV.
Two sketch comedy shows that never could be done nowadays due to snowflakes.

60's
-Cigarettes if you were dumb enough to smoke them (I was) $1.80 a carton
-I remember filling up my Volkswagen in Texas for $00.16 per gallon
-Record album (not a CD) $3.00
-Some other stuff I wont talk about.
etc.
These guys who think the 70's. 80's, 90's were best just never lived in the 50' 60's.
How can you talk about that which youve never known.
ya. it was great .
jazz was in
alcohol was out
and the stock market was booming.
ohh ya , we had Tommy guns !!
Maggot:
The music I grew up listening to. WNEW FM played it all and I would sit next to a table radio listen to The night Bird (Allison Steele), Roscoe, et al play what was considered at that time underground music. When you went to a concert it was about the music and not all the theatrics. Saw the Allman Brothers right around the time Live at the Fillmore was recorded and Duane was still alive. Also the Band, Marshall Tucker, Led Zeppelin, New Riders, Flying Burrito Brothers, Byrds etc. Saw the Dead over twenty times between 1972 and 1975. Have all that music loaded on my iPhone and great for road trips. "Who Do You Love" by QSMS is frequently played.
The early 70's pretty much sucked with the end of the Viet Nam war and the energy crisis but made up for it later in the decade. 80's brought the big hair bands and they pretty much sucked and if wasn't for Springsteen it would have been a total bust.
Country music died when it became Pop just like today. Merle, Johnny , Willie and Waylon and the music coming out of Austin was the only country music worth listening to.

SNL in the 70's was still very green. SNL started to come into form in the late 80's. The 90's SNL had a long list of greats. Ill post it.

Sounds like a bunch of drunk cats singing the North Korean national anthem
I had a revelation this afternoon. The best, or at least most interesting decade may be yet to come. Looks like the world is lining up according to 'The Revelation' and if that's the case shit could get really real, really quickly. How about that triplet.
Who knows what the 2020's or 2030's may hold.
