80's Pop Culture ^

[4yearlurker]

The 80s were okay,but I had a blast in the 70s!!!

Hell I even remember some of the 60s!!!!!

I had Swatches too! But I always got the smooth, suave conservative 1s. Not the garrish things.

My clothes were more garrish. I still wanted everything to go together, so the Swatch had to match everything and be conservative. ;-)

Hee hee!

80s were awful...’cept ‘84

I remember the '83 World Series...not much else. I celebrated Reagan's first innaguration every day until late into Clinton's second term. :-)

[the OlLine Rebel]

I was VERY big on Forenza (going to The Limited).

Also had Outback Red.

You forgot I.O.U.

My niece and nephew thought Personal Jesus was absolute musical genius beyond comprehension until I sat down and picked up the main lick and chords almost immediately. Less compelling when an old man can play along.

Still, a good tune. Reach out and touch faith!

Yep, Just the thing to perk up a pair!!

What 80's One-Hit Wonder Best Describes You?

Yer the ol' reliable: Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen". Reliable, and good for a sing-song. People think they have you pegged, but there's still an air of mystery surrounding your 'inner thoughts'- like, what was that all about with the dirty laundry? Did I say you were reliable?

Yes, I do, but then - not everyone actually dressed the stereotype way.

Just like these days everyone talks about “big hair” and “mullets” (terms that didn’t exist then), but that is rather foreign to me.

Only trailer-park girls had “big hair” (more like poofed-up Farrah Fawcet); alot of girls had short-medium hair, and it was all done up in wild ways. It was very cool. Instead of the BORING flat hair part-down-middle we’ve had to endure for 15 years now. My own hair was SPIKED (why doesn’t anyone point out THAT most iconic part of the “punk” period?).

Boys - I almost never saw “mullets”. Most boys had short-cropped hair, buzzes and crew cuts, often spiked. Again, more likely the trailer-park boys would have mullets.

People had interesting clothes but it wasn’t really like the really wacky Cindy and Madonna stuff. Not around here, anyway!

My main thing - it was FUN! Thank God I came of age in an interesting, happy era, rather than the “depressed-look” drippy era strangely combined with sexual overtones (low-risers, bellies showing, words on butts)!

What 80's One-Hit Wonder Best Describes You?

Ah the ever so quirky: Toni Basil "Mickey". Funky beat, pom-poms and an almost irritating need to get everyone up and doing something. Still, well done you for still looking fine and blowing minds.
