1950s

the most awesome era ever. this is where they had the Mafia, awesome 50s-type songs, and all that innocence that has since been completely destroyed. the 1950s was also when Rock music, credit cards, color TVs an more were invented (according to Mafia II).

1950s father

A 1950s father is a dad who is not involved with thier child or children, even though they all live under the same roof. A 1950s father does not play, spend time or is emotionally involved with thier child. A 1950s father is typically stoic and distant to ones child, and are typically work-a-holics. The phrase comes from a generation of males (pre 1960s) that were raised to hid thier emotions, because it would seem unmanlike. 1950s father reley on thier wife to do all the parenting.

My friend's dad is not really involved in his life. He is what you call a 1950s father.

1990s

Probably the last decade worth mentioning in recent times.

1)Huge political changes(early 90s), bloody conflicts in Africa, Eastern Europe and ex-USSR republics. The fall of the worldwide socialist system.
2)The odd mix of new and old throught the world.
3)The birth of the public Internet, early multiplayer games(late 90s) with their yet unspoilt atmoshpere. In love with the 90s graphics in 2020.
4)Music bursted out with dozens of new genres in rock; the actual rebirth of hip-hop(the golden age) and electronic.
5)Many rock stars from 70s and 80s (and, of course, 90s) were much younger and energetic, though some of them fell in deep crisis.
5)Probably the highest levels of the world's criminalization.
6)The last peak for analog audio/video tech. Next digital decades are to kill the soul of the electronics.
7)90s were marked with a breakout for the cinematograph. Numerous masterpieces, as well as simply good family films.

Man, I should have been born in 1980s rather than 2000s to see the 1990s.

1990s

The 1990s is one of the best decades ever. Some people still cannot define this decade because it was everything. You can't put the 1990s in a box because it has so much diversity. The entertainment was great, the economy was prospering and good, and society was so much more simpler back then. We had the Internet, but the Internet and computers were basically luxuries. If you didn't have a computer in the 1990s, it was no big deal. Technology didn't dominate every aspect of people's lives back then. Gas was only like $1.00 and some change back then, very cheap compared to now. Some people like to hate on the 1990s because they either slept through the decade or don't know much about it. In fact, thousands to millions of people online have been getting really nostalgic about the 90s. It's getting to the point where some 2000s kids and some 80s kids try to claim the decade as their "childhood." The 1990s was the last golden decade in America. People have different names for the decade, but I call it the decade full of partying.

1980s

The decade of cocaine, roller blading, weird fashion, the best sex, simpler times and the finest females. America was the number one place to be in the world. Also a time when New York and New Jersey (East Coast) were the hottest places, and took back America as the best place to be; from the previous West Coast and the South. Also the era when Japanese cars took over the American market in popularity. Like Mazda, Honda and Toyota.

And of course, some of the craziest music produced by human beings, ever.

Sometimes you wish society was just like the weird ol' 1980s.

To a European, if you were ADIDAS, you're an Eastern European. To an American, if you were ADIDAS you're representin' the retro 1980s.
