I’m 18, and needless to say, this isn’t really the best time period to grow up in. I would love to live in the 70s or 80s. My hometown was poppin then and was just a great, tight knit town, where everybody knew everybody. But now most of it is a shithole filled with crackheads, and it’s honestly not a fun place to grow up in anymore.
Also there obviously wasn’t any technology back then... I’m convinced social media/ cell phones have ruined the purity of being a child/teenager. Also no security cameras at homes or other places. It would be fun to get away with pranks, throw bangers when the parents aren’t home, sneak out, all that fun stuff boomers had the privilege of enjoying in their teen years.
another plus would be way more snow... my parents said they used to get shit on with big storms all the time when they were kids, but now, we’re lucky to see a storm maybe once a month that produces 3 inches of snow in most places here on the east coast.
the only downside I could think of would be the fact that freestyle skiing wasn’t a thing, because that’s fun as fuck. But I guess I’d be fine if I was unconscious of its nonexistence.
