I would probably choose the 90's because I was a little kid in that decade and I think it would be pretty cool to live through it as a teenager.

I would be in the 2090's. I like high tech stuff and I'm sure 90 years from not there will be plenty of cooly tech stuff to play with.

The Roaring Twenties.

'40s or '50s.

late 70's. I could hang out with Sid Vicious!

the 40's

late 80's

the 50's

Why: It was after the War, everyone was feeling great. Not many restrictions on everything. Also, respect was still existant.

It would be cool to live down in Angel Beach (if it was a real place) and have a porky's like life.

The 50s like in Back to the Future w00t

Probably now Life just seems easier and more achieveable now than any earlier period..

40's or the 50's iconic times.

Where as teenage culture (or parts of it) sime a little sucky at the moment.

the 1910's in europe...during the rise of communism.

Now, never before have they had the power of influence and change.

We just need them in the US senate so they can cut social security beneifts. Do you think congress is going to cut its own beneifts?

60's definitely. The Who, Janis Joplin, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, The Kinks, awesome time to have lived. And you'd still be young when other great bands are formed like The Clash, Sex Pistols, etc.

the 40's

I always wanted to be a WWII hero, but thats just me.

mid-late 1960s.

The 3000's

I'm suprised so many people are saying the 40's and 50's i mean that was before the whole cival rights movement and feminism. Life was completely different and not in a good way.

Is this question knowing what I know now as a 43 year old or what I knew as a teenager?

I was a teenager in the mid 70s through the very early 80s, which was a pretty good time to be a teenager, though at the time I wanted to be a teenager about ten years earlier (late 60s).

The same now, I'll probably say I was a teenager at the best time I could have been.

I was a teenager in the late 70s, though I never got to hang out with Sid Vicious.

Now... This decade..

wouldn't want to be in the future..

And we can imagine what it would be like to live in the 50's or whatever.. so why would I want to be in any other decade.

definately. And it was the rise of suburbanism/conservatism in the US. Communists, Homosexuals, Femenist, and Teenagers were all considered serious threats to American society.

I would pick the hippy days. It just matches my personilty so much.

BOO HIPPIES!

groovy 60

Living in the caribbean in the 1600-1700's would have been awesome too.

70's or 80's, so I could go experience all of my favorite horror films first hand when they were new.

Ey BackFire, I was a teenager in the 80's and the horror films were no doubt original and scary. 2 elements that modern horror flicks lack. As a fan of the 80's Hard Action genre, it was nice seeing movies like Terminator, Aliens, Predator and Die Hard in the theatre when they first came out.

The Hippie Sixties Man Woodstock for Sure

Yeah, I can only imagine, dude.

Late 70s- 80s. The Sex Pistols... Guns 'n' Roses... and the almighty Nirvana! I was a little too young for that period amd was just a li'l kid in the 80s...

To be honest....never again a teenager.

I'd rather be in my mid 20's. And I would pick the future. I hate living in the past....I always like being upgraded.

I wouldn't mind being a teenager now.

I'd love to be 18 100 years from now.

I would rather be a teen during this decade since it seems that teens have so much more freedom and get away with so much more than when we were young

Actually, you could get away with much more when I was a teenager. When I was 16 I used to go to bars all the time and the bartenders wouldn't give a damn, but now a 30-year-old can't even buy a pack of smokes without getting carded.

My personal feelings aside, yes, this was likely the best decade to be a teen. Pot and free sex running rampant combined with the emergence of the best music ever. What more could a teen want?

Here's further proof/confirmation. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the mid 80's, but I can't even imagine what the mid to late 60's would be like. I'll throw in Willie Mays, Dick Butkus, Gordie Howe, and Bob Gibson for the hell of it. You had some of the greatest sports legend around at the same time.

2020's.

70's Babby..sex..sex and more sex..and weed 2!!!

I'd love to live out my teens in the 80's America suburbia. Otherwise if I'm stuck in Australia, now.

does it have to be a different decade...I liked being a teenager during the 90's the video games were just getting awesome

Kidrock would be a pirate.

i'd be a pirate if i was in that era, you do what you want, how you want, when you want. POTC has kinda made lotsa people want to be pirates...or jonny depp....

i do agree with whoever said being in their 20s would be more fun, more indipendant...kinda. i'd say teen in the 70's, all the music and whatnot followed by 20's in the 1980's and before your too old to addapt to the new tech, 30's in the 90's

Any time in the 70's....I've been sayin' for the longest that I was so born at the wrong time and I shoulda grown up back then....and the music from that time rocks...it makes me sad thinkin' I got stuck with the damn 90's,but oh well....if I'd grown up then now I'd be old.....so I'm good with my nostalgia
