As far back as I can remember (the 70s) nostalgia is revived in a 20 year cycle... So the 70s celebrate 50s nostagia, the 80s celebrated 60s nostalgia, the 90s celebrated the 70s and this decade is celebrating the 80s.

I was a teenager through most of the 90s and most of my contemporaries remember the decade with considerable gushy nostalgia -- I must confess that i also look back at the 90's with a sense of nostalgia and a lump in my throat. For me that was the most glorious times of my life. Mates i'll keep forever, shitbox cars with character, first drinking episodes, first sexual encounters...

Most of you are around the same age as me. Perhaps your teenage decade was the 80s or the 00s. What do you think of your teen decade? Does it rock or suck? Or do you have mixed feelings about it?

What do you think of the 90s decade? I imagine younger people look upon it with a certain amount of contempt... and laugh at those 90s nostalgics (most of my friends) behind our backs. Although if you were young enough, perhaps the decade evokes memories of a simpler, happier teenage time of your life when you didn't give a shit, and women seemed to grow on trees...

What do you think about the nostalgia phenomenon? Those older TFP members -- do you feel nostalgic for previous decades?
