Over the last say 150 years what was the best/favorite decade. Please provide reasoning for your choice. Yes they all have good and bad parts, please don’t let this devolve into telling people how they are wrong

    What decade is your favorite largely depends on your demographic. Usually in your teens and 20s but sometimes single issues tip the scale to a different decade. eg. someone that is gay and got married to their spouse after that was legalized might have a different favorite decade than someone that didnt have an event like that tip the scales.

    For me, the 2000s were the best decade so far followed by the 90s. The mid to late 2000s were my high school and college years. I had a solid social network, almost done with school, got engaged, no pandemic and 911 was almost a decade in the past and not as fresh, I finally felt like I had a whole family. For a while, it was great. Then the 2010s went to hell. 2020s arent looking so good either.

    The 90s I mostly liked because the country seemed optimistic and I was a younger teen. This is when I got into video games, explored the internet when it became popular but still felt new and largely unexplored and it was before 9/11 when the country basically collectively had PTSD.
