Could be for any variety of reasons, but I'd say that the 1960s tops the list in just about every category.  Music, politics, fashion, culture, etc.

The best is the 1990's and the worst is the 1930's.

This decade (New '10's) beats the hell off the last one in this century (the Aughts).

But in this poll, I'll go with the 60's, 70's in a close second.

The best is the 1990's and the worst is the 1930's.

As bad as the 30s were surely the 1910s and 1940s were worse. Economic crisis and mass unemployment is preferable to world war and genocide.

EDIT: The genocides in the 30s (with the famine in Ukraine as the worst) tops the genocides related to WW1, but the overall loss of lives is still much higher in the 1910s.

Tough choice among the great decades of the 1920s, 1960s, and 1990s.  Voted 1920s.

It's a very clear top 3, but still feel pretty comfortable choosing the 60s. I suppose the 70s were awful either, but they still likely lag behind the other 3.

I'd say 1960s > 1970s > 1950s > 2010s > 1990s > 2000s > 1920s > 1980s > 1910s > 1930s > 1940s

1990s followed by several possibilities.

Here, the 1920s was the decade of prohibition, so I might put that last.

1980s for music, though! And football.

How can any progressive like the 1980s? They represent the triumph of everything wrong and bad.

The 1960s AINEC.  To be in San Francisco or London in 1965-66?  Aw man... what a moment and what a wave to ride.

It's not only politics. Everything, from culture to entertainment to the economy, felt rotten inside.

How can any progressive like the 1980s? They represent the triumph of everything wrong and bad.

The 1980s is when people tried to achieve all the popular ideals of the 1960s/70s:

'I do whatever I want, whenever I want, I'm a totally free person, I want to fully realize myself, woohoo!!'

Something like that, through capitalism (something in which we still desperately are, and feeling it turns bad, we now try to go back to our fantastically fantisized traditions, and back and forth and back and forth and...).

All the actually anti-capitalist/anti-imperialist stuff was only the boring part of the story to excite a bunch of students...

There is nothing 'awful' about that...

As to answer the original question, heck, wasn't I born in 1983? Then you got the answer!

Well, I tend to be more attracted by the XIXth century anyhow. XXth might have been the fastest one but maybe one of the most awful one too.

XXIst seems to be so full of so many huge challenges that at the very least it might not be uninterresting...

The 1980s, of course. I suppose I can understand why someone would pick the 1960s, but I never could.
