How vintage are we?

[Miss Sis]

Never mind what year I was born, it's more like when should I have been born?

I reckon about when my maternal grandmother was born, which was December 1911. Then I would have been a young woman through the 1930s, my favourite decade of interest.

I was born in 1988, but I have a feeling I'd have been pretty happy if I were born between 1918-1924 or 1928-1934.

1963, which culturally speaking was about 1953 here in New England.

Later baby boomer

Barely old enough to remember when thin ties and lapels were still in (the first time around), when older men wore fedoras with their suits, the British Invasion, when TV still had black and white programs, meeting Spanish-American War veterans, when Stan Laurel passed away, and when President Kennedy was killed. My father was born in 1918, my mother in 1920. I was reared on Big Band music, 30s-40s films, old radio programs, and WWII stories. I would have preferred to have lived in late 19th century England, or to have been of age in the U.S. between 1935-1955, more or less.

27th December 1965 me!!

i enjoyed the1980s....as i was a "teddy girl" from 1975 loved rockabilly and rock n roll, and just developed into more 1940/50s music and style as i grew up,! Here in the UK we had a brilliant "rockin" scene then and all the 1940s and 50s origonal stuff was in better condition than now and a lot Cheaper!!

wasnt ALL happening in london...but its summed up nicely here:

Me, too Lizzie. Same year, at that. And in small town British Columbia, that makes me a child of the 1950's.

1986

30's & 40's are my idea of vintage, with a splash of 50's for good measure
