white boys of the decades
60s: paul mccartney

there’s no denying the POWER of the beatles, and their frontman has to take the spot of the 60s white boy of the decade. he barely needs explanation: he was british, a talented musician, and in the hottest band in the WORLD. thank you paul.
70s: david cassidy

david cassidy was one of the most iconic 70s heartthrobs. between being in the partridge family and making his own music, im not surprised so many teens were in love with him! he paved the way for our white boys to come, so thank you.
80s: michael j. fox

not only was michael j. fox our time-travel king in back to the future, he was also the og teen wolf. his power is unmatched. he WAS the 80s, and we still swoon over him to this day. he’s an icon and his cultural impact must be recognized.
90s: leonardo dicaprio

leo leo leo, this thread would NOT be complete without leo. he was jack dawson, he was romeo, he was the white boy of our dreams. he needs no further explanation.
00s: chad michael murray

chad michael murray was the only white boy alive in the 2000s. one tree hill? dawson’s creek? freaky friday? gilmore girls? a cinderella story? he was IT. he was a moment. he was the white boy of the decade no question
10s: harry styles

we first met harry through one direction, but his career goes beyond just the band. he acted in the movie dunkirk (2017) and continued his own successful solo career. harry uses his platform to only spread kindness and its impossible not to love him.
20s: timothée chalamet

timmy is the only answer for this one. while we’re only half a year into the decade, he’s already everyone’s favorite white boy. his talent is astounding, and he will only continue to amaze us.
an honorable mention: logan lerman

growing up, logan lerman was THE white boy. he doesn’t fit into a specific decade, but he deserves a spot on this list. logan lerman is powerful and unproblematic— there’s no choice but to love him.
