How would you express a decade like this:
"In the 90s, Nirvana was a very popular band"
"She was very active in her 30s"
My first idea was to just turn the number into an e-vorto (like naŭdeke, trideke) but I don't think that would convey the whole decade but I also felt like "en la trideka jardeko" was a little unwieldy. Maybe I should just say it quickly
Is there an easier way to go about this?

I doubt I've ever used it, but my impulse is to go with la naŭdekoj for the nineties, and so on. I would expect the context would convey that we are talking about years rather than a palette of marigolds.
Dum la naŭdekoj, Nirvana estis tre populara muzikgrupo.
Ŝi tre aktivis dum siaj tridekoj.
This may, of course, be my native English peeking through.
