ROFL

P

i liked my age more back then

The Lack of fear. Sure we were afraid of nuclear war, but that was something we could do anything about anyway.
But we could tell our folks we were going out, and leave the house from 8am to 9pm with no cell phone and nobody had to worry about if we were OK or not.

There was no such thing as a Columbine shooting. It would never happen. We were amazed with a 16 pixel Atari graphics game.

Oh, and the music was cheesy but good.

Seemed like people had more fun day to day and were alot less cynical. I also miss the money making opportunities and the strong economy. Also, speaking as an American, I miss the world view of the US in comparison to today.

For me, high school and college came during that decade. It was a great time. Technology was advancing, good music, and we had a president (my governor in younger years) whom we could trust.

We believed our g==v wasn't lying to us. And we believed the 6 oclock news ha ha.

Ya leaving car and house doors unlocked was another. There was no need for that back then.

My Wife misses the 'big hair'.

I just miss my hair.

1. Fraggle Rock
2. Teenage mutant ninja turtles
3. Donkey Kong
4. Smurfette (Grrrrrr)
5. She-Ra (Grrrr)
6. Pac-Man
7. Ghost-Busters
8. Manners.
9. Bob Hawke taking out the world record for the yard-glass skull (that was the 70's but still good )
10. Paul Keating taking the piss out of Bob Hawke for taking out the world record for the yard-glass skull.

Being a baby with no responsibilities.

Right around when the vic 20 came out eh

absolutely nothing! oh wait! black flad,the misfits and the dead kennedys. thats about it!

Flock of Seagulls, not that much.

The music. 80's ruled.

Proper disco biscuits, no fears no worries, disposable income, No mobile phone ahh the list could be endless

New wave music, definitely.

My musical taste is more or less punk rock (clash, ramones, etc) but the 80's had some great pop music. The likes of Kim Wilde, and The Primitives being two great examples.

Back when pop artists (if it's fair to call them that) could actually sing without autotuned computer tracks.

Today's music sucks balls.

The whole just being a child thing, the music, barbie dolls lol, leg warmers and all the crazy clothes you could wear & not care, the original roller skates ( buggered if I could ever workout the rollerblades) And sprinklers on the lawn Oh the 80s, I was such a true 80s child. Oh and even children wore big hair then

kick ass sci-fi movies, Goonie courage, being scared watching a horror movies instead of just getting grossed out, snug fitting jeans, real world bad ass nerds.
