Why I love the 80s? Because I was born in 1986 and all the good stuff was cool back then.

Six words: Pound Puppies, Wrinkles Dogs, Spuds MacKenzie

I was born in 1984,and I do remember most of the late 80s from the end of 1986 upwards. I love the 80s because it was the most innocent time of my life. I love the music and TV shows from back then. I loved the way most people treated me, and each other back then. I never had to worry about all of the junk that's going on in the world now.

I was Born in 1969 - graduated High School in 1987! I LOVED the 80's & spent much of my High School days with a 'NEW WAVE' hair-do that as my boyfriend at the time expressed - 'defied gravity'! As I became a senior & graduated high school my hair got longer & bigger- more Hairspray please- running out of hairspray was a fashion tragedy & could not happen! I LOVED music & it defined me in so many ways in those days- groups like- Depeche Mode, New Order, Phsycedelic Furs, Alphaville, etc... I really got into going to underage dance clubs (nice to live next to a larger city & access things like that)- they were 'Totally' the best & what really was important to me every Friday & Sat. night. That's when I really got into less known groups (had to go to specialty downtown record stores to get their music on 12" vinyl 'extended dance versions- 8-9 minute songs- YEAH! We thought we were so cool) We starved for groups like - File 13, Jamie Jupiter, Big Audio Dynamite, Love & Rockets, and more known like Human League, Thompson Twins, Adam Ant, and on & on.....!!! When MTV came out I was (I think in 7th grade) & I remember the first music video's - a lot were guys on stage performing ; then came Madonna (I so wanted to be a Material Girl), and who can forget Michael Jackson's THRILLER... It was the best thing ever at the time- MTV would have a countdown to the next showing of it & my Brother 7 I would be glued to the TV to catch it every time we could. I was over Michael Jackson by the time I hit high school but he was great in my Junior High days. My locker partner in 8th grade had him pasted all over our locker. I remember Leg warmers, jeans with zippers on the legs (ankles) so we could get into em' {today they have enough stretch in jeans that it's not necessary for those skinny jeans to have em' ; but I have seen them back in stores for today's youth- the 80's lives on}, Skinny Boys ties- made of leather- {Really}, Big plastic hoop earrings in all the bright colors- {I owned so many pairs}, Madonna Lace gloves & hair scarves, Shaker sweaters, and on & on. But all in all the 80's were just fun- but I think any decade someone is a teen in has something special for them - it's your teenage years- they rock! I know my Mom graduated in 1964 & loves those times today. My kids will graduate in 2013-2021... (wow do I sound old now) and I'm hoping they love their teen years & what ever is going on for them as much as I loved mine! It's so fun to share my Music & fav. Movies, TV shows, with them- (thank goodness for the internet- it makes it so easy to access these things with almost no effort.) So we had a lot in the 80's ; but I think we do today too... just with a little less hairspray & makeup! Thanks! Sandy
