Does anybody else feel like they were born in the wrong era?

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this time period. Everything moves at such a fast pace and I hate the way we dress. I appreciate the social progression that has been achieved globally but that's it.

Yes I would have liked to fight and die with honour in the battle field with the blood of a foreigner on my brow.

Yeah, I always thought I shoulda been born in the 1200s where I'd end up swinging a giant axe into hoards of enemy faces.

Sometimes I feel like I don't belong in this time period. So many things move at such a slow pace, I think we never actually left the dark ages.

You wouldn't be able to post on the internet either. What period would you want to live in?

Shakespeare's Sister

Yes, but only about 10-15 years later than I feel I "should" have been born (I'd like to have been a late teen/20-something for the late 80s/early 90s).

Just for the music and club scene though, the economic situation would have been terrible.

No Pants

Things need to hurry up. We were supposed to be living on the moon by 1999.

failinis

I feel like I should have been born in the Victorian era. In England or mainland Europe. Preferable working in art - I think I just love the art of that time period so bias.

Yes, the poverty, the illness, the poor health care, smelly thames, the killer wallpaper, the work houses and all that, but if I was not female I would have loved to live in a middle class or higher time.

I have rose tinted glasses on, I am very aware of that, but the horses, the art, the craftmanship and general things like that, the suits and all that were very smart.
But I would have hated to be female then, I would trade gender.

I wish people still dressed like they did in the 40s

The old fashions are cool, that's about it. Any time I start getting romantic notions about living in the past I remember things like bathrooms and hygiene and antibiotics and having basic rights and a career.

sdanseo

I like 80's music but I wasn't burn till the dregs of the decade. Otherwise I fit into this era just grand.

Although I do hate hipsters. Stupid hipsters.

liek dis if you were born in the wrong generation

I Heart Internet

Does anybody else feel like they were born in the wrong era?

Yes. I feel I was born in the wrong area. Would have liked to be born in a classier part of town.

Certain periods of History seem very familiar to me anyone else get this or am i slightly unhinged?

Definitely, men's fashion especially, men dressing like men not the skinny jean wearing flop haired twats around now.

I'd love to have been one of the baby boom generation (born late 40s) they have had the best of it in many regards - expanding post war economies, massive increase is social freedom, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll, upwardly mobile, home owning (home selling at a massive profit 30 years later!) and decent pensions.

I don't think any woman or non white person want to go back very far in fairness

Yeah that sounds perfect

Also, I've a huge grá for the late 19th/early 20th century. Everything was so beautifully made

Myself and my friend were bitching about how we don't feel like we fit in with the selfie, yoloing, hashtagging era we find ourselves in.

Although I do tend to remind myself, like Bluewolf, of the hygiene (or lack thereof) in olden days!

I wish I was a knight and I would go round rescuing a beautiful women and live happily ever after.

If only women still dressed like Lauren Bacall or Audrey Hepburn, and men like James Stewart or Gregory Peck. The music, the classic cars, the manners...

I could live without the poor hygiene, lack of labour saving appliances, small mindedness, inequalities, and of course WW2.

This feels very much like a "post-everything" era. Instead of Modernism, we haves Post-Modernism: most of what gets produced is not really new, but recycled and re-packaged old stuff. Popular music is an arid desert compared to the innovations of the late 60s, 70s or even the 80s.

The designs of cars are now mostly determined by safety requirements, not genuine improvements. You can buy a car called a "Mini", made to cash in on nostalgia for the original, but it's made by a German company (BMW) and it's not a mini car, it's flipping huge and heavy.

It feels as if everything's been done. I genuinely appreciate the way the Internet has transformed lives - I've been using the Internet for twenty years now. I have access to bandwidth and content way beyond the wildest dreams I had back then, and what do we do with it? Download movies and TV programs, moan on forums like this, and watch videos of cats. We are spoiled rotten.

Tail Docker

I'd hanker after the good-old days a bit. There's a fair few I'd love to slap in the puss with me glove and choose pistols at dawn. That'd soften their passive-aggressive coughs.
