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.

The 60s. Maaaaaaaaaan.

^Same.

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.

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

Why not? Detroit was still a thriving city back in the 60s.

Anyway I think I'd probably go for New York in the mid to late 70s or New Orleans in the 40s (though only temporarily with New Orleans).

The 80s for me.

The 70's. Prog, dirty ass Funk, Krautrock, classic Rock, Punk- what more could you ask for? I was 8 in 1980 and have vague recollections of the 2 tone scene and still love that scene today.
