When folk wore cloth caps and mufflers and rode bike to t’mill for day’s work.

When everyone was on the same page and had thoughts and values that were similar to your own.

When you'd walk past someone on the street, you'd both say hello or at least acknowledge each other with eye contact or a head nod.
@SW-User It's hard to believe it ever used to be that way. Sigh..

@MsSwan My first time in NYC, shocked to see nobody smile back, except the homeless guy who thought I was Jesus. Not even the cops. Saw a cop give an old woman a middle finger.
@MsSwan I’m not sure I ever lived there.

@SW-User I had great parents but didn't see them often because they worked a lot

The Government was less nosy and less strict laws.
For me, the "good old days" meant going with my friends to parties or the disco, practicing new dances. One of our friends, Tommy, was a little older and had been a professional dancer. He showed us the most impressive versions of some of the dances of the day. He was actually on Soul Train briefly.

We need to see that soul train footage ...

The 80s. Even though it began with Lennon's death, it was the most jam-packed decade: my first studio recording session, high school and college, first relationships, first bands, first jobs including my TV one, still living at home, both parents and all four grandparents still with us. It was so good!
trollslayer · 46-50, M
My 20s. Enjoying being single, adventuring on my own, learning new things.

Follow the history of these two songs. Just different versions of the same song. I'll only give two here.

Translation can be found here:

Now I can explain what were the "good old days". For the version I first heard was in Romanian by my mother. And like neither version at all.

The good old days were different from perspectives.

@DeWayfarer Thanks for sharing that

High school.....girls....low crime....cool stores...malls....plenty of bars and clubs that don't get closed down because of shootings...being able to afford a concert ticket...beaches that weren't pack with people....hardly any illegals because they all went thru the process of becoming a US citizen, not having to be politically correct, and being able to afford a car without a mortgage payment

High achool and college.
When women were women and men were men, and they liked each other because of it.

In terms of things like pop culture, music, movies, fashion, stuff like that, it was the mid 1990s.

In terms of my own personal life, I would say about 2003 to 2012.

My high school years were great! College--not so much since my girlfriend was at another university dating other guys. I'll stick with high school as the good old days for me.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
I dunno, they've all been marred by something or another.

That being said, 2009 was a really good year.
TurtlePink · 22-25, F
Listening to Ke$ha, the black eyed peas, Usher, Carli Rae Jepson, PitBull, Neyo, Justin Bieber back when he first stared.

From the time I was 5 yo to 55 yo. Even with more than my share of. F'ed up, situations and believe me it's a long dark list.
I've been fortunate and had a very blessed and memorable life .

the 90's.
Best time to grow up and people were not utterly insane like they are today. Mental illness was not encouraged either
When women would flash their boobs just for the thrill of it, or maybe because they liked you

About Six years ago. Life was good. Everyone was happy. Our finances were strong and the Motorhome was fully serviced. Fuel was cheap and we could travel at will.
