Would you like to be born in a different time?

alright so if you could be born in a different time (i.e. different decade or even century) for the music scene, the fashion scene or anything else that interested you about a certain time in history. i personally would i have liked to be apart of the NWOBHM era and seen metallica in their prime.
 
i'd say the same thing but for the rest of SST, not just the Huskers:

I think I would have enjoyed being born in the 70's. That way I could have enjoyed the 70's and early 80's metal era. I barely started getting into metal in the late 90's.
 
You wouldn't want to be born in the 70s or you'd miss out on it, you'd be a little kid, which means your music collection would consist of Bay City Rollers and David Cassidy recorRAB.
 
But a better question is what 60s movement I most wish I was a part of.

Because that one's a toughie. You had London, San Francisco, LA, Canterbury, Detroit.

But you can scratch Detroit out. NOBODY wants to live in Detroit in the 60s. :laughing:
 
I'm quite content with the music that's coming out in my generation, however I would like to go back to places like Norway and Sweden back in the '80's when the extreme metals were getting started.

However if I could choose to go back and live in any time period, I think I'd like to go back to the American West or England during the Victorian era, monocles and top hats FTW
 
I like the music scene now. I wish I could go back in time and see Elliott Smith but that wouldn't have to do with age so much as me being aware of his existence at an earlier age.



Well if King George III had initiated a draft you probably start to see radicalism and protesting but as he didn't the vast majority of Americans didn't care because neither the Afghan or Iraqi war has had any effect on them. The problems today are largely economic and you can't really protest a recession out of existence.

Also voting and protesting do make a difference; I don't know why you'd think they wouldn't (especially considering you're lamenting the passing of sixties activism...which was protesting and voting.) There hasn't really been a large protest movement in modern times but that's because there's been nothing with a significant amount of impact on everyday life. If McCain had been elected and died and there was a more conservative supreme court as a result of it (since the liberal judges seem to be dropping recently) and they outlawed abortion you'd see a pretty radical movement for it again. As far as voting goes this is still a democracy, even if it's dominated by two parties. Writing your Congressman is more is typically effective then voting though.
