80's probably, I've already experienced the 90's I only got to live 3 years on the 80's and I don't remember much.
But I'd find ways to get rich of it, get a valuable comic or win the lottery, **** time paradoxes gotta get some loot |

Oh definitely, I'd go back in time with a list of all the winning lottery ticket numbers, all the stock listings, all the winning bids on all sports competitions, and everything. Basically do the same thing seen in Back to the Future.
If you know how everything will turn out, you'd be the next Donald Trump. |

Although I picked the 90's, I loved the 80's just as much. I like to think that both eras were awesome in terms of movies.
I would love to relive the 80's mostly for the music. The shows weren't bad either. I would love to relive the 90's for some of its music, but mostly, for the cartoons and the other shows during the time.

Honestly, I'm with Cure
I don't want to live through either of those decades knowing what I know now of modern convenience and connectivity

I suppose it's different if you can remember being there are not needing that stuff, still, after having it, it would be very hard to go back to not having it.
So far as nostalgia, my teen years were in the 90s but it's my childhood decade which I feel more of a fondness for. |

Aren't you past 30 already, though? Would you really want to hang out with 17-19 year olds?

Edit: So, if I must be me as I am I'll still choose the 80's as I remember the 90s better... either way no tech, curly hair and surrounded by cigarette smoke (to a lesser degree in the 90s) Last edited by newfan; 12-03-2017 at 02:48 AM. |

Watching old 80's movies that has teenagers in it makes you realize teens have never changed all that much. They just didn't have cell phones, social media, e-mail, internet, etc....but 80's teens did pretty much the same thing teens of today do.
It's so weird though watching old movies from the 80's and seeing the characters say, "There's nothing good on TV" and then you realize they only have like 7 channels to watch. And then you see them play videogames and it's usually old Atari stuff or NES games.... And it's so refreshing to see characters running to a payphone to make a call, instead of pulling a cell phone out of their pockets. They're like, "Do you have change for the phone?" And they carry those big 80's boomboxes for music. Besides the few who have the new hi-tech Sony Walkman's. |

Also since there were no cell phones I guess parents didn't worry as much about their kids unless they were late for dinner or something. |

My brother's first "console" was a ZX Spectrum. Not sure if CC is familiarised with it since it was mostly a European thing afaik.
