People were unhappy and wanted things to change which they did. In the 70s the fruits of 60s protestors and people who changed things came to fruition. The 70s were pretty cool like that. Cool cars too. The 80s sucked because they cracked down on drug use and society was very materialistic. People were concerned with the almighty dollar. Not to mention Mtv started in the 80s and started the retardation of music. The 90s were cool thanks to awesome tv and the fall of the Soviet Union. America was guaranteed to be #1 for a long time. This attitude of optism was reflected in many areas of society. There was good music again that started in the late 80s but really became pop in the 90s like alternative/grunge and gangsta rap. The first decade of the new millenium sucks because of 9/11 and the war on iraq. People in america(and in europe too) realized that we are not the invincible superpower we thought we were. This bad vibe of vulnerability has again been reflected in society. Music sucks because of commercialization. Only a few good artists get popular, most of them suck(which makes no sense because good music should be popular). Also it seems everyone is getting fat and kids are stuck inside because of overprotective mothers afraid their child is gonna get kidnapped or sexually assaulted. Here's to hoping 2010 will usher in a new decade of coolness.
This is my theory anyway, not sure if its completely true as i didnt grow up in the 50s 60s 70s or 80s. But from the stuff ive learned about past decades i think i about sum it up.
fraggle rock, my little pony, rainbow bright, bubble bobble, carebears, lawn darts, didn't have a cell phone unlike kiddies today, and quaters were the highest form of money cause it was the shinest and it spun. I miss being a kid
o and i forgot that stupid ass tomichi i played with while sitting next to the family dog
and don't forget the original big ass gray gameboy black and white screen
the days where spice gurlz adn backstreet boiz were the shit
runing away frm gurlz wid cooties
allowed to smoke in the school cafeteria
sega gennesis
snow forts at school
the magic school bus, and arthur
Bill Nie the Science Guy AHHA, i used to love that show. adn Art Attack
and the days where kindergarden was FUN- we had a playground in the class and everythign with a sand castle. all we used to do was play in kindergarden.... now dayz its all work, my brother learned his abc's and counting by 2's in kindergarden ahah, feel sorry for this generation
I was born in 89. Loved pogs, ninja turtles, power rangers et cetera. All the TV shows they had back then were awesome because parents weren't up in television's grill bitching about how they need to further contribute to the pussification of children. Ren and Stempy, Rocko's Modern Life, all the good shit. Now we've got crap like "Camp Lazlo" and "Squirrel Boy". What the hell is that shit? Are they actively vying to destroy the manliness of our next generation? I swear most men are pansies these days.
contra bitches

MacWQ33

super mario bro's was the shit
i was in first grade when the chalenger rocket exploded. we watched it on tv.
i used to wake up early in the morning to watch mask, before school. voltron, G.I. joe, and super mario in the after noon. When nintendo came out i went to a freind's house to play it, there were 15 kids crammed in his little bedroom, playing mario. to this day if i hear the music for super mario brothers i get all giddy like a 5th grader.

invading a foreign country at 2am
watching, in total amazement, as a bunch of east and west german students tear down the berlin wall piece by piece. breathing a sigh of relief, doing celebratory shots of jaggermiester throughout the night. running 4 miles the next morning still drunk as hell. puking on the side of the road
