Only other contender is the 90s, but even that's just a diet version of the 80s.

The decade that saw the AIDS epidemic and Crack decimate entire cities while governments just watched and did nothing.

But the cartoons were good!

The 90s were the only decade of general peace in over 100 years. Then the Taliban ruined it.

What about the 1510s? That was right at the height of the Renaissance.

Well if you want to go the negative way
Urban decay
Basically every elected official was stealing from whatever they were supposed to govern
The 1980s seems like it was a scary time to live

Hey, that's incredibly untrue!

The Reagan Administration actively aided cocaine importation to the United States and steered it towards inner cities!

Aged even worse than the 90s.

80s shit is still fashinable and being recreated left and right.

I left out a lot. The Rodney King stuff, Columbine, The Rwandan genocide, and there's so much more.

The 90s were no where near peaceful

The thing that sticks out to me most about the 70s was the fashion, especially ugly ass polyester shirts with collars so big, you can go hang gliding.

Why chastise someone for liking the saying they like the cartoons. Do you ever watch TV, movies, or video games? Why is it okay for you to like them?

It's perfectly fine to like/love TV Shows from a certain decade. But to say a decade is the "coolest" despite there being horrible events that happened both domestically (if you're from the US) and internationally.

That's like saying 2001 was a great year for New York City because the Yankees made it to the World Series, and completely ignoring that 9/11 happened.

Could he have said that the 80;s was the coolest decade for TV and Movies? Sure, but a blanket statement saying that the 80's was great is just not true.

There's a reason "It was acceptable in the 80s" is a phrase.
