Using up to three words, describe these decades

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!

50's - Jazz got good

60's - Rock got good

70's - Rock even better!

80's - Yuppies, dirty Yuppies!

90's - Rock found itself

00's - Rock lost itself

Much of it is just not as pure rock as before.

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

Sometimes the top 40 is good, and other times I turn off half of it.

50s - start of rock

60s - best rock

70s - too much disco (I like some of it, but still)

80s - synthesizer was big

90s - teen pop ruled

00s - hip hop era

50s - Naive, Fearful, Overconfident
60s - Naive, Fearful, Transforming
70s - Naive, Fearful, Sedated
80s - Naive, Fearful, Greedy
90s - Naive, Fearful, Guilt-ridden
00s - Naive, Fearful, Unstable

Look how it applies to the Baby boomers

Approximately Age 5 through 15: The Overconfidence of Youth
Approximately Age 15 through 25: Transforming. Adolesecnce, Puberty, becoming an adult.
Approximately Age 25 through 35: Adult, but not mature.
Approximately Age 35 through 45: Worried about the future. Where's my flying car?
Approximately Age 45 through 55: Guilty about everyone they stepped on to get their flying car.
Approximately Age 55 through 65: Now where'd I put my wallet...
