The 80s - reminisce away
Discussion
Were they the greatest ever decade?
What did you enjoy most about them? What do you miss? What are you glad we moved on from?
Entirely broad scope: music, politics/economy, fashion, food, 'technology', cars,...anything really.
Would love to hear some of your typically 80s anecdotes too.
(Apologies if you were born after 1975 - the 80s probably weren't up to much for you)

Being able to drink all day, pull women & when sober drive like a racing god! Oh, yeah I knew a whole lot less then, so there was less to worry about!!

Born '79.
For some reason I was very aware of media and such from a very young age, had my first tape collection at five and would seek out new songs from my neighbour regularly!
The 80s was the best, Aha, Duran Duran, the early sony walkmans, (I had a red one with the A-Team on tape!) Dallas and Dynasty, Pre-molesty Michael Jackson! The time was good!

My guilty pleasure has always been kitsch films. I miss an era (probably related to my age at the time) when everything made sense, everything experience was new/cool/exciting, and life seemed easier. The films remind me of that -
The Breakfast Club
The Sure Thing
St Elmos Fire
Ferris Beullers Day Off
The Secret of My Success
Doc Hollywood.
etc etc.
I "miss" those films the most, although technically since I have a definitive collection of them, I dont actually have to miss them. They make me wistful though.
I stand ready to be called a gayer for this.

The huge variety of culture/fashion/music genre's all becoming big in a short space of time (some new, some recycled). In a period of a few years I went from Punk/Ska > Mod > New Romantic > Jazz Funk.
I still have every record I ever bought
I think we need pictures. Especially the New Romantic bit.I still have every record I ever bought
