[milleson]

Tell me why I should like the 80s. 1980's that is.

[TurdBerglar]

[zorra_chiflada]

i don't remember them :(

[Pootytang]

You don't have to like anything you weren't alive to witness.

[milleson]

I was alive to witness them, but I need more than that.

[Lex Diamonds]

Everything you need to know is in GTA: Vice City. (y)

Velcro was a gift from the space age.

We found out what Magic, as in M.a.g.i.c. Johnson, stood for: My Ass Got Infected Coach.

Chicken McNuggets took the U.S. by storm.

The Reubics Cube made a better paper weight after trying to solve it for a year or so.

2Live Crew was Banned in the USA

[milleson]

There is one thing from the 80's that does not need to make a comeback.
Homophobic AIDS jokes(n)

No offence Knucks but your whole life on this board pretty much revolves around homophobic AIDS jokes.

[TAL]

From another thread.

...In my opinion, during the 80's with the advent of electronically produced music, music diversified so much that there is no such thing as a "defining" band or genre of music, due to the huge variety of styles available to suit the huge variety of people's tastes.

Yay Padster!

[milleson]

Ooh, and Indiana Jones. It's all coming back to me now.

[Lex Diamonds]

The Breakfast Club

Beverley Hills Cop

[Lex Diamonds]

Yay Padster!
Yeah, that's another good thing about the 80's. I was born. (y)

I may joke about hot man on man action but never do I include HIV.

[Lex Diamonds]

But neither do you involve contraception. This is the kind of misinformative propaganda that our governments so strived to avoid in the 80's!

I've made all my MB pornstars take AIDS test prior to filming. :eek:

[Drederick Tatum]

Droppin' Science is going to come in here and give an all too serious account of how there was so much great music in the 80s and that he'd like to talk to you about it over a cocktail.

[Pootytang]

First off, I'm not homophobic. Secondly, that joke had nothing to do with gays. It had something to do with a man that wouldn't take precautions and is going to lose his own life due to his own actions. I know that there wasn't enough education about aids in the 80's, but there was enough education about other sexually transmitted diseases to make a carefree man such as Mr. Johnson protect his weewilly and his life.

[The Notorious LOL]

ironically the people who seem to profess their love for the 1980s the most tend to be born in the timeline of 1980-1986 and generally were not old enough to be into 80s culture even though they love to pretend they were.


I was born in 1980, I remember fuck all about the 80s other than the shitty anti drug PSAs.

[befsquire]

the drugs. you didn't have to worry so much about what they were using to step on your shit with, since they weren't doing it as much as now.

some client of mine bought ecstasy for $12 a hit. $12! totally the wrong thing to say, but i said "where'd you find x for $12 and was it shit? cause it used to cost me $25."

he said it was shit, in case you were wondering. a couple of his hits got crushed while he was resisting arrest, but he wasn't really bummed about that at all.

[ggirlballa]

hehe i wasn't even born til 93'

but the 80's had run dmc, beastie boys, public enemy,llcoolj, big daddy kane & more

classic teen movies

fuck wut did the 80's have besides that?

[The Notorious LOL]

basically the exact same crap as the 1970s and the 1990s, yet its pre-packaged and presented to you in the format of "Best of the 1980s" compliations containing songs no one really liked to begin with that have cheap licensing because they arent making money off it anymore.


Give it ten years and kids will think people in the 1990s listened to Lou Bega and that Macarena shit non stop. People focus on the trendy retarded garbage without really acknowledging anything worthy in that time period.

[Lipper]

Biz Markie - Make The Music With Your Mouth

Slick Rick - Ladi Dadi

The Fat Boys - remember the movie they did where they were nurses for the rich guy???

Oh god my brother's been playing that non-stop. And San Andreas. I've watched this game on our TV more than I'd care to share.

I agree. And I (born in 1982) was guilty of doing this, especially in the late-90s.

But hey, I spent the latter part of the '80s watching E.T. non-stop, as well as Ninja Turtles, so I enjoy the '80s for that alone. :o

Yes. My best friend says she misses the 80's so much, and I'm like, bitch you were 6 years old in '89, how much do you REALLY remember? We're 90's kids, all the way.

[ggirlballa]

We're 90's kids, all the way.

i'm a late 90's-00's kid

someone needs to figure out wut the hell we're going to call 2000-2010

the thousands?:confused:

[The Notorious LOL]

yeah the 19-fuckin-80s...with its kick ass recessions and Reaganomics.


Anyone play NARC? The game that basically taught young impressionable children to shoot, maim, and kill any and everyone who is affiliatied with drug use? Yeah, 1980s all the way.


The 2000s arent much different since we're basically out of ideas and just re-doing crap from then.

[Documad]

I've always wondered how a nine year old Canadian joined a band, had friends who quit the band to get married, and pledged his undying love to a girl. And how sad that it was the best year of his life.

Ummm... Bryan Adams wasn't actually referring to the year 1969 in "Summer of '69." :eek:

[Documad]

The bad:
Reagan
crack
aids
asymmetrical shirts
sports and concerts in domes


The good:
college radio
Spinal Tap
and, I don't know -- pound puppies were kind of cute

[QueenAdrock]

I still have my Pound Puppy bedsheets...and my Rainbow Brite ones. :o

[ggirlballa]

i only like the rap that came out of the 80's & some movies the rest i don't care for

[Documad]

Ummm... Bryan Adams wasn't actually referring to the year 1969 in "Summer of '69." :eek:
Listen, I've seen the video. And the song bugs the shit out of me. It's impossible to make him more interesting via internet rumor. :rolleyes:

[Documad]

Pound Puppies were a good value, as far as faddish toys went. I think they cost under $10. And they were cuddly.

I'll tell you who I hated -- that fucking Strawberry Shortcake. I was a cashier at a place that sold toys in the mid 80s. :mad:

[Justin]

Also, reading all those british tabloid magizines calling the beasties "thugs"

Childrens Palace?

[QueenAdrock]

No, Atari! God, I loved Atari sooo much. I still have my system, but it has to be in juuuuust the right position to have it work. Games are practically free.

[Documad]

Childrens Palace?
No, just Target. But I was there on the front lines during the initial cabbage patch crisis. And when the early videogames were rainchecked. Oh, the stories I could tell . . . .

I would have lost my mind if I'd worked at Children's Palace -- OMG what a pit.

[The Notorious LOL]

I remember thinking Childrens Palace was what it must be like to ascend into heaven...however in hindsight that place was a toilet.

[cosmo105]

all i remember from the 80s was my parents being obsessed with Dallas.

[Documad]

I don't know if they had another location -- but the store in Brooklyn Park was next to the yuckiest movie theater (where I saw all the midnight movies). I have a lot of embarrassing memories related to that strip mall.

I know exactly what I was doing when we found out who shot JR -- that seems more 70s but not really. I associate it with Love Boat and those kinds of cheesy dramas.

[The Notorious LOL]

if memory serves, the one I used to go to was at the strip mall near Rosedale.

[Documad]

I'll bet that the Brookdale one was a bigger pit.

[The Notorious LOL]

it tends to go with the territory :p

[Documad]

And that was always the case.

[discopants]

I think The Smiths can be the answer for those wishing to point out the best and the haters of the 80's, if you see what I mean. All hail Morrissey!

One thing you don't have to like is the hairstyle (http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/img/limahl.jpg).

In Germany we call this a Vokuhila (Vorne Kurz Hinten Lang = Short Front Long Back), so you can call it Shofroloba :D
Sorry, I guess I have to sleep a little longer...:o

[Bob]

Tom: Okay, okay. Be honest Mike, this music kinda really gets your blood going.
Crow: Yeah, Mike, this is YOUR music done by YOUR people, so I blame you for this entire movie.
Tom: Yeah, it's just like you to make a movie like this, geez.
Mike: I hated it too. What are you picking on me for?
Crow: Well, you were a young guy during the 80's weren't you? I mean this is your world, admit it.

(Hair band ballad music starts playing)

Crow: Okay, okay. This here is the kinda music you get all weepy at at the end of a drunken Friday night, sitting there with your hair all feathered, scarfing down cold potato skins.
Tom: Your attempt to get little Suzie what's her name drunk on lime vodka ended in humiliating rejection, so you sit there all mushy and sentimental reciting to yourself the words to some song by Night Ranger. You're pathetic.
Crow: Yeah, and maybe one homely girl feels sorry for you...for a second, but then she sees how stinkin' drunk you are and gets disgusted.
Tom: And maybe the first chair trombone player from the high school band comes by and he takes pity on you, tries to drive you home and all, but, no, Mike. You wanna swerve home in your cherried out Dodge Charger.
Crow: You wind up wrestling for your keys with the guy, then finally he drops you with one punch and he leaves, and you lie there knowing you got your butt kicked by the leader of the high school band.
Tom: You're pathetic.
Crow: You and your 80's.
Tom: Your precious 80's
Crow: You know, it would've continued to be the 70's if not for you.

[Lyman Zerga]

i still love 80s music way more than any other decade's music
especially way more than 70s music

[fucktopgirl]

The 80 was some kind of weird stage in humanity, this is all i can say.

The clothing, hair due...all that was really out of another dimension, a scary one that is!
Some good movies and music where made tho....

CArtoons where awesome aswell!
"Belle and sebastien"
"REmi sans famille"
"Albator"
