About this user
I was born in 1968 and still consider myself a child of the 80's. There are very few of us who could consider ourselves as adults prior to being 25 or so, depending on your maturity. Most of the 70's were spent in elementary school and the memories are so faded. I clearly remember experiencing life in the 80's, turning 21, hanging with friends at happy hour or at the clubs, listening to the rockin' music of the decade. Remember the first time you heard "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls? Remember how cool it was when the Iranians returned the hostages, when Reagan took office? They knew not to mess with him or the re-born United States of the 80's! Remember when cable T.V. was installed in your house? Remember when you got a touch tone phone? I'm sure our parents would debate the issue of best decade, but we all know which one it was. "Cum on feel the noize!!"
Those were such times! The music was just everything, and then came music videos. In the 80's everything was pure and clean.
The music, movies and fashions were superior to these corny, recycled 60s and 70s trends of today. In the 80s we had rock, metal, punk, new wave... an enormous variety of music; today we get this rap trash and too much hillbilly country. In the 80s, females actually had sex appeal; eye catching clothes, shapely bodies, aerobics and permed hair were the trends.
I got my first stereo in 1981 when you just started to get a look at video's. Anyone from Canada would remember that any giving day after school you ran home to watch the brand new show's called video's countdowns.Remember Dan Galleger, Erica Ehm, JD Roberts.That's when it all began, muchmusic was born. And that was only the start with video killed the radio star, in 1982 came a new girl called Madonna the world had no idea what she had in store for them.But my personal favorite is and always will be Cyndi Lauper my life had meaning in 1984... i met my ex then... unfortunately he passed away 17 years ago..
... Computers became popular in the 80's Cable was made in the 80's not to Mention MTV ( when it was good ) the 80's was a time to rock and kids today will probably never get that chance again. Ahh those were the days!
THE 80'S WERE THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE...
