If You Could Travel Back in Time and Spend 20 Days in Either the 70s, 80s, or 90s, Which Decade would You Travel Back to?

[purina]

I would go back to 1970 before Nixon took us completely off the gold standard and buy all the gold I could.

 

[vacancy3]

80s........so many great concerts

 

[windsors]

I would want to go back to the 60's, I'm old... lol

 

[suckpoppet]

Any time before the smoking bans would do for me

Every decade had something I enjoyed....70s vintage fashion & design, the great 80s soaps and the cool 90s music.
I choose the 70s, just to see what the tv guide looked like.

 

[IamNoah]

I would go back to the seventies. They had air-conditioning right? (I was a little kid in the nineties it seemed pretty shitty. I was conceived in 1989 so I know nothing of the eighties from personal experience, but ya know, AIDS. )

 

[DonQuixote]

I'd go back to the 70's - my teen/early 20's.

A Chance to explore things from a different vantage point.

That post about Apple and Microsoft - maybe some Berkshire-Hathaway, too!

Of course, we'd have to get precious metals or OLD currency to be able to buy anything ...

 

[kallipolis]

I would choose never to return to the past despite memories of my idyllic child hood, and teen years providing me with the awareness that the here, and now is my reward for a life focused on the present....

 

[medic1]

Like Kallipolis i would choose not to return, i buried far too many friends in the 90's for any good memories.

 

[Kabluey]

Seventies.
Never really got to see them.

Could I bring a smartphone?

 

[Willie Boy]

I've already spent ten years in each of those decades, why would I want to spend any more days in them?

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

The only thing I would have used a time machine for is for me to have met my late lover a lot earlier.

 

[arpeggi]

I would spend all twenty days in the early 80's singing in a coked-up New Wave band, recording our one and only hit before I disappear from the face of the earth, presumed dead. Only to resurface years later for a reunion, unaged.

 

[backagain]

Been there done that. All of those years had sadness as well as great joy.

 

[spooky]

The 80's definitely, I think my experience would be more interesting. Men have always been sexy but as a youth... I just found that decade fun and sexy.

 

[JPGhost]

None, I dont like men's haircut on that era... the grooming style, etc..men were less hot before then.

Why not Pepsi?

 

[buffxqui]

The 70s up to the mid 80s, from then on I remember pretty much everything.

 

[frankfrank]

If we can take ten years that straddle two decades, I'll offer 1972 to 1981.

That rather implies that I would take the 1970's if I had to do it entirely within a decade and, yes, I would.

 

[arpeggi]

Why not Pepsi?

 

[PreTTy PeTe]

If I could go back in time..........it would be hugs for all my friends who are long gone.
