I'd love to be a teenager in the 50s (because of the film Grease) but I love the 80s for its music (not all of it; some of it was awful, but most of it wasn't).
If you could go back or forward in time what year would you go to and why?
About 1923 or so during the Roaring Twenties! What a great time to live and feel alive!
You can't travel forward because it doesn't exist yet. If you go back you shred the fabric of space and time in a paradox scenerio that makes everything not have existed. And don't say "But if you could ..." because even if you did travel in time it would create a whole new reality and you wouldn't be where you wanted to go anyway.
1985 to see myself being born. That would be amazing.
