Question What do you remember from the 80s?

When you think back to the 80s, what comes to mind first for you?

For me:

Back to the Future movies
Indiana Jones movies
A Flock of Seagulls and people with weird hairstyles.
Asia (great concert!)
The Police (Zenyatta Mondatta)
Ted Nugent (Wango Tango)
Max Headroom
Stevie Ray Vaughn - all his early albums.
My first CD player (I still have it, but it's broken)
Van Halen - 1984
Beastie Boys - License to Ill
Huey Lewis and the News
Space Shuttle Challenger explosion
Gretzky and the Oilers

- Ronald Reagan and Mulroney
- travelling for 7 months living 24/7 in a tent with 3 girls; that was fun
- my university years (kept me busy for 8 years)
- the transition from teenager to adult life
- various gf with children of their own
- I did a lot of B&W photography in those days.

I did not have any time to notice pop culture, I guess.

For me... most of my first "vices" occurred in the 80s... with the exception of my first adult magazine... that was in 1979...

NO LIE... check out this list... hahahah worked out pretty damn well year by year...
1980 - first cigarette
1981 - discovered I could jerk off without shooting blanks LOL
1982 - viewed first porn movie on VHS
1983 - got drunk for the first time
1984 - got high first time... also got past "first base" that year for the first time
1985 - lost virginity
1986 - tried "harder stuff"
1987 - hmmm... won't get into all the mischief i was up to that year
1988 - first arrest (won't say why
1989 - ooh that was another busy year....

Heh.. there's a lot more but I figured this list was damaging enough

Notice the natural progression downhill LOL... don't try this at home!

Oh man.... I LOVE the 80s... I miss the hell I used to raise...

I remember those heat-sensitive t shirts...hypercolor they were called! they were so awesome untill you put them in the dryer! LOL

How about wearing a really big t-shirt with a belt over top to make it look like a dress???

And leg warmers?!

not to mention she-ra and he-man, my little pony

oh, and who can forget those sunglasses, the black plastic frames with the neon sides...I had all 5: pink, orange, yellow, blue and green!

Get-in-shape-girl - the little headband and wristbands... I had the ballet bar kit, came with a little tutu...sucked!

oh yeah, and of course I was born in '80 :-P

I will have to say girls with big bangs, in living color, and the first time I saw a playboy. Ah yes, playboy. After that I thought in the real world that all women glow like angels.

I can remember having a hell of a lot of fun growing up in the '80's! I was 10 in 1980. It was an awesome decade!


Rubik's cube, the snake, the pyramid, Whip It

Atari (Activision games)

Jelly bracelets

Wearing 2 or 3 different colored socks at once

Faded jeans, sometimes ripped jeans

Those T-shirts that were heat sensitive. When someone put their hand on your shirt, their handprint stayed on your shirt.

All the spandex and bands like Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison...

MTV (When they first aired and played actual videos.)

Headbangers Ball

The Smurfs, Alf, Webster, Punky Brewster...

Madonna

Those pens when you write, the ink color was surrounded by gold or silver

Hello Kitty, Strawberry shortcake and friends, Transformers, The game of Life, Twister, Monopoly, Connect 4, Sorry, Stratego, Risk...

Break dancing

Hip Hop - Run DMC, and songs like "Funky Cold Medina"...

Bands like the Cure, U2, REM...

I remember being cool in elementary school and a nervous unpopular wreck in middle school. I remember my first BBS that I owned and operated in 7th grade... It was called NOTLDBBS because I was a big fan of Night of the Living Dead. I think I might have been way ahead of my time - that's when I first started peddling porn, on that board.

I remember listening to Depeche Mode, being the recluse that I was... the first time I french kissed a girl, or for the record, she started it

I remember big Christmas' with piles of presents... I remember thinking that smoking was a vile habit.

But most of all, I remember my older brother telling me that I was missing out on life because I wasn't involved with sports - instead I spent my time on the computer. Ha! He eats his words now.

The 80s - oh boy
Started high school
Punker years
Spiked hair
120 lbs less and people thought I was 10 years older cuz of the *developped* body
Dutchy's Music - Army Surplus Stores

That was 81 - the rest is pretty much going out, partying, having a blast and sticking to my guns - keeping my friends sober, making sure they got home safe......Bah, I didn't change much except for the 120lbs more hahahahah
