If you could be a teenager in any decade, what would it be?

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... 😎

yeah,same here. 👆

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.
