2013, so my current age, 16!
2nd is probably 2007, which would be 10
3rd would most likely be 2004, so 7

I was actually expecting more people to be like me and find that somewhere in their early teens was their favorite year. 13-14 was when I really started to fall in love with music and those times definitely reflect my overall taste now. However, at that time I didn't look back much into the late 60's as I rejected that time period of music as rebellion against my parents. |
Cool irrelevant tangent that I don't give a shit about bro, but by the sounds of it you're actually agreeing with my point so I have no idea what the fuck you're trying to get at here.

Yeah, good point. My bad. Never mind what I was trying to get at as you are right.

| Jackwc wrote: | Hi there, how are you? Jack here to explain to you all why:
YOU'RE ALL RETARDS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT~!
Let's begin, shall we? 
You see, for whatever reason - wait, no scratch that, that's a poor start. We know the reasons. See, the youth of the 1960's were what we called the "Baby Boomers". They grew up in an age of unprecedented wealth and prosperity, and as the first generation to be SO excessively rich they were also highly self-indulgent and narcissistic navel-gazers. Often when we point at the generation that "ruined the planet" both economically and environmentally we point at the Baby Boomers. The reason we look back at the 60's so nostalgically, despite that none of us lived there, it's because the Boomers have played it up so hard - this is why the films and music of the late 60's and 70's are often hailed as the "best ever"; less because they were boundary-breaking and experimental (otherwise the likes of Godard, Bergman, and Fellini would appear on far more "best of" lists than they do) but because they were tied to the golden years of the Baby Boomers.
Keep in mind that the 60's also lacked all of our awesome technological advancements (such as the internet, although if you want to argue with me that you "could live without the internet" how about you make like someone living in the 60's and just don't reply at all) as well as social reforms. In the 1960's homosexuals and blacks were still facing incredible hostility - keep in mind '67 is the year of the Detroit Riots - and women were still viewed in the nuclear family mindset, meaning they were expected to shut up, stay unemployed, and push out babies.
If the best time for you to be alive and 20 years old isn't today then I'm afraid you're living life incorrectly. RIGHT NOW should be the best time for you to live. You should be having the time of your life TODAY. Your desire to live in the 60's likely stems from the fact that you feel you don't have as much fun in the modern day, and if that's true then the problem is you and you would be exactly where you are now in 1967 - unless you're gay, black, or a woman, in which case you'd also be horrendously oppressed. If you are not cool or hip or fun now you wouldn't have been cool or hip or fun then. Not to mention the drugs weren't as good in the 60's, so have fun with all your baby weed.
And if the real issue is you just wanted to be around when the music came out - why? You still have all that music now. Plus more. Are you retarded? Fun fact: the answer is yes and I just finished telling you why. |
Or, you know, we just like the music and it would have been cool to be there when it was fresh and the shows weren't as heavily based in nostalgia as they are today.
