You’re about the same age as me so you obviously spent your formative years growing in the fifties
Aye, them was good years them was. My Dad was a farm worker, so, not one of the world’s best paid jobs but my folks gave me the best they could. They brought me up right and taught me a lot of things that school never would have. Basically, to put it bluntly I enjoyed my childhood.

I was born in 1991, and I really miss the 90’s especially SM:TV Live!! I loved that!. Now it’s all stupid things on TV and the X factor all year round ( however I do like big brother and the likes. )
No one likes big brother do they? I thought it was just mental chewing gum along with X factor, I’m a celbrity et al. Incorrect show title, it should Why aren’t they an ex factor?

well up here 50’s was pretty much same as 30’s, 20’s, 10’s….acient long agral society begun to formalize into modern one only in 60’s and 70’s…so I wouldn’t agree whit that….thougth it migth be different in the ‘big’ world :confused:
anyway, didnt real lyrics and meaning into pop came in the 60’s?? with the Dylan and the hippy-prog rock-conjuction????

You 90’s kids should be lucky you never saw the 80’s…. 😉
The fifties was the greatest era for kids growing up…only women had long hair and wore earings and men wore suits….there were no drugs and the music had lyrics ….kids had respect for their parents and the authorities…..it was pleasantville

I remember it very well. Strongly about the kids TV bit, as compared to whats on these days, Kid’s TV back then was superb. And all those things collected, Tazos, Pogs, Footie Stickers. The music may have been very throwaway, but being a kid in the 90s wasnt so bad!
