How old are you?

I would like to be a much younger age, but I really don't want to have to relive any part of my life again. Not that I have to really worry about that. 
Oh Bonz, yes, i do remember all those things. And then i forget them. But only because i want to!!
Oh I don't know. At least *our* fashions were original. Kinda funky, but not taken from what our parents wore.
I still can't get over today's kids like *our* music. That ain't right! I can remember wincing over my mother's music and my mother yelling at me to turn that shit down in reference to my music.
You could move to Sweden. Here you can actually drink in bars from when you're 18. Liquore stores, not so much, but a trip to Denmark takes care of that.
Yes, but I'd have to move to Sweden. I'm rather fond of Texas (I have no idea why).
Actually I like your music a thousand times better than the crap they say is music these days. Your stuff actually has some artistic merit and not formulaic shit designed to squeeze money out of today's youth. Has anyone noticed that it ALL sounds the same?Oh Bonz, yes, i do remember all those things. And then i forget them. But only because i want to!!

And fashion started sucking in the 1980's. I want the 1920's to come back though so I am not the person to be asking about that.
The hats? The fake ties? The cows? The ranches? The oil? The calculators? The space industry?
We don't all wear those hats or the bolo tie. I live in the city, we don't really have that many oil wells, and the space industry is shite right now.
I like the atmosphere and attitude of native Texans. I enjoy the size of the state. I have developed a large personal bubble, and people here have that same range. I find I have issues standing in queue with people outside the state who don't have such a large bubble.
I like the food here. I do enjoy Dallas as a city.
I don't know. I guess I'm just brainwashed little Texan.
There are a few bands that have come along recently that blow my socks off but give me Dusty Springfield, The Shirelles, Billie Holiday, Depeche Mode, Patsy Cline, George Jones, Eurythemics, The Eagles, Nirvana, Michael McDonald, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner or Pink Floyd any day of the week. Nothing can hold a candle to those greats.
Yeah, as a liberal, out-of-the-closet lesbian living in the city in a swanky part of town with my fiancee, I have a tendency to do that to people.
Your Avatar is of equal coolness with mine.I would like to be a much younger age, but I really don't want to have to relive any part of my life again. Not that I have to really worry about that.
I still miss bellbottoms.
I love the 1920s. They were very much like the 60s-- a decade of rebellion and renewal. Too bad the 40-year cycle was disrupted, or this past decade would have been just as great.And fashion started sucking in the 1980's.

I think they like it because it has a little more depth than a lot of what they listen too. Also, many modern bands use retro sounds so the earlier music doesn't sound quite as dated to their generation. Or I could just be bogarting that doobie again and the smoke's getting to me...

'80s music is the best. Sandwiched right in-between the major generations. 
Incidentally, I like that I'm in my 30s. No one knows what to make of them. They're too fixated on "under 30" and "over 40".

He might be out of plutonium though.
Have you looked at YouTube lately? A lot of young people are getting into music, movies and other pop culture from before they were born -- even before their parents were born. There are teens and twentysomethings who like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Eddie Cantor, even Clara Bow. And Elvis and the Beatles.I still can't get over today's kids like *our* music.

And Julie London, the sexiest female singer who ever lived.
I hear you. Cloche hats, flapper dresses and raccoon coats ROCK!. . . And fashion started sucking in the 1980's. I want the 1920's to come back though so I am not the person to be asking about that.
That must make you about one in ten thousand. For a lot of us, being fourteen SUCKED. There's nothing more awkward than being at that age between infantry and adultery.

I was 14 in 1975. That was a great year.
