Post War, late 1940's to mid 1960's. I like the cars better, the music better, the clothes better, the decor better. I was definitely born in the wrong generation. It seemed like a genuine time, with better family values, people knew their neighbors, and not everybody carried a gun. Now everything looks the same (neighborhoods), sells the same stuff (big box stores), sounds the same (have you listened to FM radio lately?!?), and kids wear the same stuff (anybody notice all of the clothing stores in the mall are basically the same thing?)
