i was born in '73. never really enjoyed the '80s. '90s were a whole lot more fun for me. started them in colorado and graduated in '92. still can' stand anything '80s. drives me nucking futs. i do like the '90s stuff better. music was better, styles were better. just like the '90s better. (and by the way, i did have parachute pants and a fake members only jacket) anyone remember the SKIDZ pants?
I am hard pressed to think of anything I liked about the 90s, other than the 1994 midterm election.
ARE YOU KIDDING? out of an entire decade(ten frickin years) the ONLY thing you liked was some political crap. cheez-and-rice.

There must have been something else good that happened but I really can't think of it off the top of my head. The 90s, for the most part, sucked.

On a personal level, the 90's was when I met wife, got married, and both my kids were born. So I guess it wasn't too bad. -

I gotta agree with you here, Nomad. I had some excellent times in both decades.
The eighties, about '84 thru 89 were my heavy metal years, and we had some really good times then. Wait til I get my pictures up. I had some of the best times then.
Had a lot of good times in the late 70's too, come to think of it.

The one thing about the 1980's that stands out in my mind is what I perceived to be a return to conservatism. It seems that clothing, economics, music, and literature, etc., swung to a (compared to the 1960's and 1970's) more traditional and conservative bend. These things are, of course, go in cycles.

I think the 70's were alot more conservative than the 80's with the polyester slacks and dress shirts. Maybe I was into the hair band stage with the leather and women wearing the mini-mini skirts. I think the 80's was more a shock culture time with Wendy-o of the plasmatics and the hair bands. And I will never forget Pat Benatar in concert with the leather mini skirt and powerful voice. I left a puddle of drool on the floor!!
Lets also not forget the Madonna "party-hat" breast!!

The group that I hung with was definitely more conservative!! We went to Kahki pants and polos ... and seemed to join Young Republicans en masse (perhaps they had better parties!). Of course, a lot of that dealt with the party in power at the time.

Perhaps the best memory of the 80's though was the fall of the Berlin Wall -

one can never forgive or forget the 80's and what it gave the world...the television programs during the 80's are what still stir up nostalgia in me...

I was a far far cry from conservative in the 80's
I do remember a ton of people dressing like Jerry Sienfeld dresses nowadays (tucked in shirt to jeans and what appears to be huge bright white tennis shoes).
I also remember that Miami Vice look going around... -

Yes, that was a great event. Though my personal favorite was November 6, 1984. -
