My Defining Decade

i just realized that my "defining decade" is over. One's "defining
decade" is age 13-23. It's the age where the music u listen to is
defined, the way u dress, the TV shows u enjoyed most. From now on,
i'm gonna refer to stuff made between 1999 and 2009 as "the music i
listen to".
For example....
Say you were born 1957. 13 yrs later it's 1970. The music u enjoy
most, is stuff from 1970-1980. That is definitely a great way of
describing my mom's favorite music. My mom's "prime", when she felt
the best-looking in her life; where she felt "young" enough to do her
thang, yet old enough to remember it all and really absorb her
experience. Her "decade" is the 70's.

I mean this applies to more stuff besides music and clothes. It goes
for movies, philosophies, mentalities, etc. When my mom says "the way
we did it back in the day" is usually referring to something in the
70's. Yo i just realized my grandmother's "decade" was the 40's. LOL!!

Usually ppl stick to their fav. music forever. I seriously listen to
albums that came out in 2001, 2002, etc. more than anything coming out
today. I also enjoy artists that came out during that time; ppl who
initiated their "sound" in that decade. This is nuts. I'm growing up.
Now i gotta get a job HAHA.

What's your "defining decade"?
