So this is for a project I'm doing, running a little late on the due date, but if anyone would like to participate that would be very helpful. I'm making a questionaire on some of the different pop-culture elements of different decades. If you would like to complete all (or part) of this questionaire, that would be very helpful to me. (Note that the decade you choose to represent should be that of your "youth years" (high school thru college years or a little later). Preferrably, if I can get any, I would like some answers from the decades (present decade-1950s at the earliest). Answers can be as long or short as you like.
If you could please specifiy the decade and country you are from. Dunno if anyone will do this, but its worth a shot, right? Thank you!
