    Make your own.


    Mine:

    1950's: the white male
    The only demographic that mattered.

    1960's: rebellion
    Rock music, Vietnam, the de-sanitizing of the 1950's

    1970's: really bad taste
    Got a couch in my basement if anybody wants to argue

    1980's: greed
    Who cares about AIDS? I've got my MTV and Gordan Gecko!

    1990's (early): narcissistic depression
    Here we are now. Entertain us.

    1990's (late): dot com
    Salary? We've got stock options!

    2000's: terror
    (runner up: incompetence)

    Hijackers. Afghanistan. Iraq. Oil. Mortgage. Can't let the terrorists win. Oh wait--they already did. We're terrified.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The 1970's are hard to sum up, IMO. You had disco, glam and the birth of British punk. You also had cocaine use exploding and political idealism dying.

    Maybe I'd go with "Dazed and confused." Led Zeppelin was big in the 1970s, after all.
