Probably the best decade of them all. Glamour, fashion was amazing, clothing as well as hairsyles, elegant suits, polite and quality people, neat cars, fantastic music, great films too, and overall positive core and family values, stronger moral grounds, a lot less decadence, etc.
Sure there was the downside of living under the Cold War and its nuclear war fear, and perhaps lesser health awareness (everyone was smoking, yikes !), but aside of a handful of minor drawbacks, pretty much everything was classy, galmourous and amazing ! <3
Nowadays everything is crap :(

I know it's because I just watched a western the other day, but the "wholesomeness" of the era was the first thing to come to mind upon reading the topic title.

Basically, the image they strove for of God-fearing Americans existing in a world where problems were minor inconveniences and all was right with the world by the show's end. Even in a lot of movies aimed at adult audiences, they harped pretty heavily on Americanism and morality.

Soda shops, Elvis and those tacky af skirts the girls wore.

I would really be ok with it if large parts of 50's culture made a comeback. Obviously there are other partd I could do without, like prejudice and whatnot but

OCCASIONALLY you'll find a server at Sonic using skates. That's the best you're gonna get.

Yeah white people didn't really have to experience all the downsides of the pre civil rights era, so it's easy to see why they don't consider that aspect when thinking about time periods that were great.

I think it's important to consider that just because a white person thinks the 1950s were the "good old days" doesn't mean that he thinks they were good *because* it was before the civil rights movement. It's just that white people were much less affected by it.

Amazing decade. Great film, great music, great culture, strong traditional family values reigned supreme and none of the decadence and degeneracy of today. We really should strive to return to those days.
