A decade is a long time

Saying I like the Beatles is not putting down any other band.


Get over it. Saying the 60's was great and, yes, even unique is not putting down other decades. Sheesh. I did, however, say poor stuff about the 90's and the 2000's in that I think the usual markers of culture have been indistinguishable from some generic median.

Perhaps there hasn't been enough time distance to determine what those markers might be. But I believe I could recognize something "80's" by about 1993.

And I specifically said lots of decades, most I didn't even live through, had recognizable style. That doesn't mean I'd like to live in 1937, just that it had cool artifacts.


I wouldn't even like to live in 1966. I've always liked the current time just fine. 2009 is just as glorious as 1999. The decade flew by for me only slightly faster than that 7-minute YouTube video that led this off.



But please point out where I insulted anyone. That was not my intent, and I don't believe I did that anywhere.
