The 80's --How do you feel?

[Sheenar]

A friend and I both enjoy 80's music and making fun of the styles back then.

So that made me curious.

What do you guys think of the decade of mullets, leg warmers, big hair rock bands, and Hammer Pants?

Just for lulz.

[Radical Dreamer]

For the most part, I'm indifferent, but the hairstyles and clothing styles need to stay locked away there forever, or need only be brought out for the lulz. XD

[Ante Bellum]

I didn't grow up then (I was only born in the '90s.) but I like the music and think it would have been an interesting time to grow up in.

[ShiroiHikari]

In general, I really like 80s stuff.

[Peanut]

I'm indifferent for the pure reason that I was only alive for one year of the 80s...hard to judge an era you didn't live through...

[Tsukuyomi]

There were both good and bad back then

This thread is kinda deja vu to me

(This one ^ ^)

[ADXC]

OH TSUKI! I was just about to post the very same link! Oh man, well I feel pretty useless now..

That pretty much sums up my feelings about the 80's.

That.

However, there are some decent 80s tunes, I'll admit. When there were several SingStar games out to choose from, I knew surprisingly few of the songs, except that I knew a fair few of the SingStar 80s songs well! So it shows what I know about modern mainstream music...

[That Dude]

I like 80's New Wave music. But I think that most of the fashion should be kept dead.

That's...an interesting picture...You know, the more that I think about it, the more I realize that I can judge a decade I didn't live through. This sums up my feelings about the 80s...

DUDE, that shirt is awesome!

I hate to admit this, but I actually think the El Camino is kind of cool --in a tacky sort of way.
I so wanted to buy one of those mullet wigs they had at WalMart for Halloween--just because the idea is so hilarious (Joe Dirt, anyone?).

[Phantom_Sorano]

I actually have a mullet wig....lol

Seriously, the music of the 80's....... simply awesome.

[shooraijin]

I miss the 80s.

[That Dude]

The El Camino was definately cool!

[Tsukuyomi]

I miss the 80s.

Me to kinda u_u

There were so many great shows back then. Some may differ, but you can't reallly argue when you see them on tv today >_>

Lets not forget the 80's is where this gem^ ^

Offtopic for a bit: I found this remake of it XDD

Aw, Lucky. : ( Rick Astley was actually early 90s, though he's clearly inspired by an 80s aesthetic.

[Ante Bellum]

My uncle had an El Camino. It was turned into a piece of junk and eventually sold. I think he actually had it in a movie. I can't remember.

[Lilac#18]

I love 80's music. Mainly 80's pop and r&b from 84-89. I like this song and this

Oh snap, my bad 8(

Late 80s as well...Never Gonna Give You Up and its related album was relased in '87...

[GundamFan]

I was kid back in the 80's but I do miss my mullet. I actualy didn't get rid of it until 94.

[Nate]

Marty Sherman: Being President's hard work. And all the other kids want to do is goof off and eat candy.
Jay Sherman: Son, as President, you're above that.
[remembers Ronald Reagan being sworn in]
Ronald Reagan: I do solemnly swear that as your President, I will goof off and eat candy.
[falls asleep at podium]
Crowd: Four more years! Four more years!

[rocklobster]

Oh come on there was great stuff in the 80's. Think about it:
--In comics, we had several great stories: Jason Todd's death, The Crisis on Infinite Earths, Secret Wars, and Spider-man's Black Costume to name a few.
--Star Wars was still considered great instead of a joke.
--Van Halen and Def Leppard, two of the greatest rock bands, started off their great careers.
--we had great tv shows: Alf, Full House, Star Trek: TNG, Punky Brewster, YOu Can't Do That on Television, to name a few I watched religiously.
--MTV still played music instead of stupid reality shows.

[ClosetOtaku]

^^^ Liked the 80s.

It was the late 60s and 70s I couldn't stand.

[bigsleepj]

There was some good music in the 1980's, as well as a few good movies. The hairstyles and the clothes, however, were the horrendous.

I love that part.

[Wind]

LOL I was born in 1988 so I wouldn't know about them except from my mom

[EricTheFred]

Let's see, I dropped out of college (music major), got married, got my drafting degree from tech school, got my first white-collar job, got back into college (engineering major). Pretty important time in my life.

[Raiden no Kishi]

I think the 80s were cooler than some people think. Remember, the 80s gave us Metallica and Guns n' Roses. On the other hand, the 80s also gave you me, so . . . yeah. I guess it balances.
