When people say "I should have been born in this or that decade because the music was better" it always makes me want to facepalm so hard. It's 2016, all of that music STILL EXISTS, and you can get it for cheaper than you could have ever before (if even paying at all). And you can meet people on the Internet who got together because of their love for that music so finding people to discuss it with is easier. And besides, popular music may not be of your liking, but what you don't know is that the shitty music from back then doesn't filter down to our times, we don't remember it. And there is soooo much more good music nowadays, so many people are able to produce music at amazing production levels completely impossible for them in earlier decades and they can share it with anyone in the world, if you got off your ass and looked for it a little you would find a lot of great music and music that fits your own personal tastes. But mostly: the music back then STILL EXISTS. You can listen to the music from all the "cool music decades" in one sitting. It's the benefit of being in the future.

[@wonderlus]

Ah yes, all the music still exists and could be downloaded, but certain aspects will never be able to be revived in later decades. Example being concerts. People who are born in later generations may love My chemical romance ( a recent reference). Their music will be around, but that person will NEVER be able to see them live in concert because the band has been broken up. Or maybe they are a fan of Tupac, no live concerts for him either. No, that person may never experience the anticipation of waiting for a CD to be released, or a possible meet n' greet. While yes, there is the pro of being in the future of meeting people who like the same band as you, there are also people who will shit on your opinion even though it doesn't affect them in the SLIGHTEST (I know i'm being a little hypocritical, but people who exclaim that people annoy them for stating their opinion irk me just a tiny bit ;) ). Also, you're being a little judgemental believing that the person who states that opinion hasn't tried to find music that fit their own taste. POSSIBLY, they had searched for music that fit their taste, and their music comes from a different decade's pop rather than our own because I can see why some people don't like it with the negative messages in reference to girls some of the time. So! I would kindly suggest to make the world a better and happier place for all, that you kindly hold that sour and judgemental opinion you have of people for saying some words that is also your opinion and does not hold as much weight as your's. Seeing as I don't want to be hypocritical, I will say you do not have to pay attention to this at all c: have a good day

In the 2000s people were nostalgic about the 70s and 80s. in the 2010s its about the 80s and 90s, and in 2020, it's the 2000s and the 90s. People have an idealized version of a time period which they didn't live in or were too young to experience

[@kanyewestfan4758]

It’s just a full circle. If those girls who say they wished lived in the 90s lived then they’d say that they like the the 60s better

[@katzen3314]

In the future people will definitely look back and think how shitty it was in 21st century too...

[@alexmeth9916]

Read my comment for agreement

[@smar712]

yeah they're going to read in their history books that people didn't have the same rights because of their sexual preference then everyone will be like wow what assholes

[@CrazyBoyAndyTV]

More likely is they'll read in the hostory books that the 21st Century was when equal rights for men, women, gays, blacks etc actually took major steps forward, for most countries...

[@ashishparmar5314]

facts

[@Mlogan11]

Depends, if politics continue to degrade and global warming results in vast areas being uninhabitable, it could be seen as the golden age. Think of the Roman Empire decline - at a certain point the best years were indeed behind them versus ahead.

[@bropitz3514]

I would have killer it in the Late Cretaceous Period. Feathers and scales are totally my type of fashion.

[@MILOPETIT]

TardisArmyMax It really feels like the decade when America came into its own (like the continent)

[@kaustuv5682]

+MILOPETIT And get annihilated (literally) by that asteroid

[@oofbread8889]

But, dinosaurs. And asteroids. You know what decades I would have “killed it” in? The Middle Ages!

[@shenellenash6884]

Technically Champagne was not unlimited in the 1920's because of, you know, Prohibition

[@danshylboodhoo2455]

Also, France more or less just got a monopoly on Champagne. On the name that is. WWI had just ended, and the Treaty of Versailles had just been signed. One of the clauses of the Treaty was that only France could name a drink Champagne. Any other country had to content itself with sparkling wine. Leave it to the French to include such a clause in the treaty concluding the biggest war yet.The only exception is California, because US never signed the treaty; only Californian Champagne and French Champagne exist. So it's not like Champagne was that common.

[@LMSPetRescue]

Champagne no, but general alcohol? Surprisingly yes. Like the war on drugs, the more a government or general authority restricts something with high demand and tries to get rid of it the farther underground it’s driven leaving quantity unchecked and causing an even bigger problem than before because alcohol is addictive so people would do anything to get their hands on it and leaving them unable to quit because they couldn’t come forward and seek help for their addiction in fear of prosecution because their addiction is illegal. Plus despite it being illegal it wasn’t a super well in forced law because the cops and people in power or wealth were also drinking just behind the backs of their judgmental family members

[@johnmcphee3136]

When people say the music was great in a certain decade, most of the time they mean that they've heard anywhere from 1-100 songs they like and ignored everything else they think is garbage. And they've only been able to listen to most of that music due to technological advancements since then.

[@Fanimati0n]

I have a friend like this. it went EXACTLY like this. "I wish I was born in the ___'s." me: *explains everything wrong with that & why it would be stupid* "well, the ___'s then." me: *does the same thing like, 5 times over.* "okay, maybe those AREN'T the best times to be born."

[@logirogi1468]

Every time has its ups and downs, but that doesn't mean this decade isn't worse on all levels. Wars, toxic ideologies, economic ruin, hatred, and horrible music. It makes sense to wish to leave this hell.

[@AndreinneLawrence]

i have never had a conversation where at the end, the person accepts that maybe being alive now as opposed to a past decade is just fine; no matter how many examples one gives.

[@Fanimati0n]

AndreinneLawrence did for me. He doesn't want to live in that time period. He wants to live in a ROMANTICIZED VERSION of that time period

[@Fanimati0n]

Logi Rogi to that I say smartphones, laptops, 3-D printers, same sex marriage legalized nationally. This decade has its problems, but I'm perfectly fine with this time period because we treat wounds with medicine instead of slashing our wrists.

[@830927mjki]

yeah, every previous decade had those things too, and often in greater amounts. take war for example, statistically speaking this decade is considered the most peaceful in the past 500 years.

[@jackaslope]

"ugh, i'm 11 and I listen to classic rock because my dad told me to instead of letting me develop my own taste in music and it's the best. I was born in the wrong generation!!"

[@saintbeau2779]

fucking thank you

[@ventroid4473]

Actually a genuinely prefer classic music over pop music today even though it's not my favorite genre. But you do you I guess.

[@RiggedandReady]

+Ventroid Thats fine mate, listen to whatever you want. I don't believe he was poking fun at people who genuinely prefer this over that. cheers.

[@driver_4151]

+Ventroid that's completely fine, but the people that say stuff like "I was born in the wrong generation" or "x was better before and now it's crap" for attention are dipshits, also it's exactly what this video is making fun of

[@bulletbill1104]

Filfthy Frank does not approve

[@xxIluvyouguysxx]

*would have gone 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@SirEriol]

I never say "I wish I was born in this or thag decade". I say "oh, golly gosh, I sure do wish I had a time machine so I could visit all these decades, embrace their debauchery and then come back without any negative repercutions".

[@bigbay1159]

Exactly

[@endersdragon34]

Basically. Even then I think a day without indoor plumbing and I would be just done.

[@f-35alightningii79]

If you were born in the 1920's you would have to go through 10 years of The Great Depression, right?

[@sparkreno19]

I've always wondered. what do people mean when they say I wish I lived in the...(whatever decade). born? spent young adulthood? If I wanted to live in the 1920s I would've had to been born in the 1900s just to fully experience it.

[@f-35alightningii79]

sparkreno19 Uh huh. Well no. You probly don't want to be 20 during 1920 because that means YOU have to find a house YOU have to pay taxes and YOU have to find a job. (You will be 29 but whatever)

[@sparkreno19]

***** oh you could, it was America's worst kept secret: everybody drank during prohibition

[@Mlogan11]

They mean to be "of age" during that time- old enough to participate in it. So you would have to be at least in your teens.

[@f-35alightningii79]

Mlogan11 No. All you said was you had to be a teen to have fun but truthfully no one was having fun.

[@lillebo77]

I was born in the wrong decade. I want to live in 6969

[@melonlord4055]

Yeah, when sex is illegal and everyone is forced to dress super modestly under an authoritarian regime run by fucking dick elders.

[@lillebo77]

Hey, NSP!

[@melonlord4055]

This is 6969 AD. We could be making babies in vat tubes by 2100.

[@cobaltshark934]

Uhm, what are you, a millennial? EW! Spit out that avocado toast and learn the real decade to be born in. 4200 is CLEARLY the year to be born in.

[@MrPatoPotato]

Lillebo77... Mature...

[@TienDuongB1A4FightingForever]

I have this friend who always says, "I was born in the wrong time period. I would have rocked it in the 1940s." No honey, 1)you're Hispanic, meaning that you'd go through extreme segregation and racism. 2) You're female, which means that the only time you would ever get an actual job was during WW2. 3) Just because you like the fashion and music of 1940s doesn't mean that you were born into the wrong decade.

[@luckas221a]

I've always had this weird wish to be born in the forties (in New York especially), FOR the hardship. So I could be an LGBT young-adult in the sixties when protests and fuss were going down.

[@luckas221a]

But I agree with you!

[@kryztyn127]

Basically told my friend when she wished she lived in the 1920s I told her about the Polio and stuff.

[@mastersnet18]

Christine Duong not to nitpick but she could have easily gotten a job in the 40’s. Idk why people think women didn’t have jobs before the 60’s. They certainly did.

[@karens.manager.2023]

mastersnet18 Yes, but it wasn't the same. They still had less rights and social preassure was harder on them than it is now.

[@lydia8526]

You don't want to live in a different decade. You want to be rich.

[@kittkatkitty1]

Like my U.S History teacher once said " that past was great as long as you were white and a man" 😂

[@andreamajoros7669]

Heterosexual and at least middle-class.

[@cheeseekimbap4903]

so a wealthy heterosexual white man :p

[@GOTOHELL57331]

Don't forget Protestant.

[@clowntrooper61]

Or being a white jewish male in germany in the 1939

[@robertclifford2470]

Well white men that had money. The poor white men had it just as bad as slaves.

You want a good reason to be alive now? The dentist.

[@freyjamulhall3615]

But expensive...

[@joanevans9508]

***** And worth every penny.

[@joanevans9508]

***** Yes, and modern medicine, and the roads, and sewage, BUT what have the Romans ever done for us?

[@squamish4244]

They did have morphine 100 years ago. They had it 200 years ago. But before that...no. So, don't get injured in 1850, before the hypodermic needle. And especially not before morphine was discovered in 1808.

[@darkreu]

If anything I wish I was born a decade or two into the future. With all the advancement in technology ,medicine, science, etc.. it fills like amazing thinks are to come and I will be too old or dead to enjoy them. I would have CRUSHED the 2070's.

[@maxonite]

+Farquar Tristebolde That's one way to look at it. Then again, back in the 80s, people thought that climate change woud've already flooded the Netherlands by now.

[@nimda3349]

Most of our fossil fuels are already gone or dangerously low supplied in the 2070s

[@Juicysensations]

LOL North Korea as a threat... Cute. They may be trying to get their nuclear technology functional, but like everyone else they will never use it because they like being alive.

[@Juicysensations]

Okay, so why North Korea and not Russia, United Kingdom, France, China, India, Pakistan, United States, or Israel? They all have nukes and lots of them.

[@matthewjohnson6280]

+Juicysensations Maybe because a lot of those countries are friendly and not controlled by a brain-washing tyrant. China is a bit iffy, but their economy would take a dive if they nuked the U.S.

[@adidi7789]

I know someone who was born mid December 1999. She was born a few weeks early, her due date was sometime in January 2000. She was actually legitimately born in the wrong decade lol

[@cradica]

Really? I'd like to be born before that! I was born in 2003 it feels like such a missed opportunity since I was born only a few years after the turn of the millennium.

[@justyoureverydaycasualship146]

When I say I want to live in the Victorian era obviously I mean I want to be the protagonist of a piece of gothic literature as I live in my enormous mansion in the deep dark woods, draping myself in gowns as white as my skin, and float down hallways in a ghostlike manor until a man sees me through a window and follows me inside, only to die instantly of fear as he gazes into my lonely sad eyes.

[@theGreatWise10]

I totally would have been that guy. The one who was telling them the facts. I completely agree with everything he's saying. This time is a lot better by comparison. The past had segregation, polio, slavery, very little technology, a LOT of bigotry, radical racism and sexism, radical homophobia, etc. We still have our flaws. But we're better than back then. If i could chose when I was born, it would be in this decade for sure

[@theGreatWise10]
