is anyone else cheered by the sight of toys we remember from our youth being popular again? i’m not that old…but seeing rubik’s cubes (take the stickers off..it’s easier), cabbage patch kids, and care bears brings back good memories. having said that, life before broadband internet, tricked-out computers and game systems and satellite tv/ radio couldn’t possibly have been as good. it probably wasn’t. but there was something very cool about the primitive computers and game systems. in case we plead intentional amnesia about the decade that was the 80’s…here’s a quick list of “totally rad” and simply awful trends that happened during those years.
Rad(not in any particular order)
- pretty in pink (classic molly ringwald)
- the princess bride (many quotable lines)
- the atari 2600
- the rubik’s cube
- tasteful mesh
- Ronald Reagan
- the decline of communism
- the cosby show
- michael j. fox
- fishnets
Awful
- the mohawk (bad idea in any decade)
- leg warmers and headbands
- michael jackson’s one glove
- the overuse of spandex
- mullets
if you want to relive the decade, try some of these fun links.
You might be a child of the 80’s if…
