Type the Decades of the 20th Century

[Vizzy]

Why not? People have typed countries and songs.
Each of the decades had their quirks and characters. What would you type them and why? A 1-sentence explanation would be interesting to read. Heck, if you want, you could go by periods throughout history, e.g. The Enlightenment.

1900s -

uh, the type of the 90s is TRASH...it was all just pop stars, ugly fashion trends, poor internet, worse tv, mcdonalds, teen movies and plastic surgery. :/

You make that sound like the 2000s are any different. And for that matter, are you totally discounting all the underground music and social movements that sprouted up around that time?

I've edited, but I will explain
20s: roaring, energetic, hedonistic, elitist. definitely EP and 7/3. Sx/Sp because the first thing I think of when I think of the 20s is a Nightclub something akin to the movie Chicago
30s: Great Depression, tough, rigid, primary emphasis on surviving and toughing out the storm. ISTJ 1w2 Sp/So
40s: still the depression, but more bold, entrepreneural and innovative. also slightly more sensual. ENTJ 8w9 Sp/Sx or Sp/So
50s: traditional values, professional behavior, confidence, integrity, industry and ambition. EXTJ 8w7 Sp/So
60s: dillusional hippies and rock music. rise of strange cults and mysticism. IXFP 6w7/9w1
70s: disco, parties, Grease, dancing. ESTP 7w8 So/Sx
80s: 1/2 of the culture was just straight up bizarre and the other half was corporatized, bourgeois and elitist. ENFP 7w6 Sx/Sp/ENTJ 3w4-8w7 Sp/Sx or Sp/So
90s: trance, rise of metro sexuals, eurodance, Night at the Roxbury. IXFP 7w6/3w4/9w1 Sx/Sp
early 2000s: rise of teen pop, posers everywhere (thinking they're stoners, gangsters, skaters, you name it) ESXX 3w2 So/Sx
later 2000s: still a fair amount of posers, culture rapidly loosing confidence and assertiveness and becoming more passive, yet emotional and reactive. ISFJ 6w7 So/Sx
2010s: withdrawn, passive, not assertive at all, social media, niche interests groups becoming more prominent. ISFP 6w5 Sp/Sx

were you typing the french 20th century or the american 20th century?

 

[Speed Gavroche]

American essentially.

sorry, but I don't agree with any of these

Why?

Why?

I take it back, I agree with these

G.I Generation (1901-1924) ESTJ
Silent Generation (1925-1942) ISFJ

but the others
Baby Boomers: no way they're anything but ESXJ, probably ESFJ. they are demanding, rule driven and intrusive. I say ESFJ because they're emotional and irrational
Generation X: generation was more introverted, I'd say ISTP (ISTP or ISFP)
Generation Y: generation Y is SP of some sort. they live in the moment and have no grasp of the consequences of their actions. they are very much an archetype of the negative aspects of SPs

the last few generations have really given Ss a bad name. they have brought out the worst characteristics of the,

Generation Z seems like an ENFP/ISFP hybrid to me

Why?

as for my disagreements with the decades, this post should explain my reasoning for the most part

I'd agree with those more. There are no NF or NT generations.
