Using up to three words, describe these decades

[mvd]

The decades are the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s so far.

Here are my descriptions:

50s - innocent yet conformist

60s - turbulent and transforming

70s - bad fashion (otherwise nondescript except for Nixon's impeachment and economic troubles)

80s - la la land

90s - prosperous

00s (so far) - scary!

And most terrestrial radio stations are just pure crap, whereas I remember in the 70's there being some good FM
