What was the coolest time period in the last 100 years?
The Dirty '30s

As it is in the late 1990s, so it was in the early 1930s. The same clamor, with different causes and results. Back then, the social eruptions came not from random acts of carnage but from an economic collapse that whacked the country. The films of the early '30s are full of clues to America's mood in the first long ache of the Great Depression: frantic, feisty, obsessed with getting a job, a buck and ahead by any means necessary. Today's typical film is a fairy tale; the '30s pictures played like tabloid journalism--the March of Crime. Gangsters, gold diggers, ruthless businessmen, wage slaves and the not-working class all jumped out of the headlines and onto the screen. ( Edited by joshwritescopy)

Romantic and hip, that's how I think of the '30s. I didn't live them so who knows what they were really like but they seem like they'd be pretty rad to live in.
