Should there be an apostrophe when you write the decade eg the 1930s?

No. Apostrophes are used to show contractions and possesion. Though many people use the apostrophe in dates it is, in fact, incorrect.
But what about an adjectival use? "I don't like 80s' music" seems OK - it was rubbish, and "80s'" is used to mean "of the 80s".
