Thanks for posting.
Not sure what to say about the 80’s. Mostly forgettable.
We lived thru Disco ,
We can Survive Anything!
“”””Constantly Anticipating Nuclear War””””
The media pushed this line for millennials? or someone, for years during the 90s? or early 2000s? they kept describing whichever generation it was as “the first generation to grow up fearing nuclear war”, or something like that, which is bizarre for anyone who remembers the 50s and 60s when the daily alarm had us all thinking of it everyday at noon, and city shelters were maintained, while homeowners built their own, and schools practiced drills.
I loved the 80s.
I was in a Christian Rock Band touring New England. I also was the Organist for the Church.
Those were good years for me.
Reagan, Maggie, and JP2...Good Times.
What a fun trip down memory lane - Thanks for posting
The 80’s -had the best and the worst music.
How did they forget Hammer and the parachute pants?! You are right about the music. I only listen to the 70s station when the radio is on.
1984 Apple Super Bowl commercialThat was the best decade of my life for this country.
Reagan. That’s enough to make it the greatest decade of the 20th Century right there.
MTV and the music. My choice in listening every time.
At university, students would advertise their unused airline tickets on a cork bulletin-board in the student center.
You’d buy the paper ticket for cash (what else was there?) and use it because even if it had a name on it, it was never checked by the airline and there was no such thing as TSA.
“punk rock” was largely dead in the ‘80s. New Wave had pretty much taken over that segment. Heavy Metal was still expanding.

Water cooler discussions at work the day after a popular show televised on broadcast TV the night before. Soon, some people started recording TV shows, so those discussions faded due to spoilers. It wasn’t long before a majority of people didn’t watch the show the night before. Fast-forward to the present, and there really isn’t much to talk about with regards to prime time broadcast TV. Ever.
We got our first naval war of the missile age: the Falklands.
Anything TV related I didn’t see or care about. The late 80s was college. What I consider great; western nations defeating the Soviets. Western nations didn’t hate themselves and weren’t actively committing cultural suicide. No dating apps, no social media, no cell phones, and no internet demanded very good and useful social skills. Especially learning how to navigate the dating world and society in general. And probably the biggest for me was the political awakening when the commies went in to the democrats media academic “green” complex and what a rotten disgusting political party the democrats represent. Everything was going to kill us and destroy the world and the only solution was to surrender to the democrats.
