“Me.”
The 70s was the Me Decade, per Tom Wolfe.

New York had the 70s despite it being bankrupt.

I lived in Manhattan from1979 to 2014. The 80s positively sucked after Reagan and AIDs, so 1981 on. The 90s were spectacular, however.

I'm going to get trashed for this, but I'd say Toronto had the 1970s.

I disagree that New York was swinging in the 1980s. New York was also the 1960s and 70s. New York fell from grace when Studio 54 closed, disco died and the music scene left Greenwich Village.
NYC in The 1980s went punk, new wave, garage and grunge and that left dance halls without any true dance music. Madonna and others were a light beckoning the way back to dance music, but the gay population, and cultural taste, were quickly declining. There would never again be the heady days that the 1960s and 70s brought.

I'm a melliennial born in the late 80s. And I've always had a romanticized idea of NYC and LA in the 60s 70s and 80s. I've formed this opinion based off of films I love from those three decades.
Can someone make a thread on LA and NYC based on those three decades please. I've wanted a thread based on this fir a while.
Thx!

R11 Nowhere but my condo. Every city and town on the planet, from L.A. to NYC to Milan to Bangkok to Paris is positively terrible with no redeeming qualities.

R19 your in your 30s abs can’t afford a $2 subscription to DL? You need to focus on finding a job and less on the glory days of cities.

Swinging London can be seen in the hammer and amicus horror films of the 60s and 70s.

what city was 2000s, 2010s, 2020?

NYC was the 70s - not the 80s. The 80s killed the creative, fun, peak of NYC.
I’d say London was the 2000’s. It went from a weird, quirky, British city to a modern, global capital - with decent food, modern design and international residents. Seemed like a ton of NYers moved there 2000-2010.
LA also seemed to peak in the early 21st century. It’s definitely now the more creative, interesting city in the US.

Well, there was the early 70s groupie/glam-rock scene in LA and disco/new wave/punk scene of the late 70s.
