I wish I grew up in the 80's

I was born in 1988, so unfortunately I don't have any memories of life in the 80's. I'm a huge fan of all things 80's and would have loved to experience that era. Don't get me wrong, the 90's were cool, but the 80's seemed like a better time.

Dear Diary,

Sorry you missed the boat. The eighties were the high water mark if human civilization.

It was full of all sorts of activities.

People in the 80s wanted to go back to 1955

It was a fast past time when teenagers took control.

The past was a wonderfully innocent time when faeries and elves danced under sugarplum trees
Well there was less rap in the '80s so you may have a point

People who grew up in the fifties never gave a shite about Happy Days.
People who grew up in the seventies never gave a shite about That Seventies Show.
Neither was aimed at the demographic it was ostensibly about.

There was rap but it was cheesy. The rock music was cheesy. Of course The Simpsons and Seinfeld hadn't invented postmodernism yet so they didn't know they were being cheesy

Rap was about having fun and having a good time instead of ho's, thugs, and keeping it real on the streets. Maybe it was shallow, but I don't see the direction hip hop has evolved as a positive.
Some rock was cheesy. Some of it was brilliant art.

Garry Marshall claimed he created it b/c he wanted to do a youth show, but didn't want to have to address drugs and other contemporary ills. So he set the show in the innocent past.
People who grew up in the '50s watched it w/ their kids. At first it was a semi-serious look at postwar adolescence -- in one episode Richie actually comes close to having a Summer of '42ish affair with an older woman. But then Fonzie became a teen idol, and that was the end of that.
You didn't mention The Wonder Years, which was the version for the '60s, a decade I never thought there'd be nostalgia for.

It was pretty cool. The golden age of cartoons and action figures for sure.

Saturday morning cartoons were so awesome in the 80's.

Year before you - being a 90's kid was incomparable, quit bitching.

The 80s was basically the last decade where people watch exclusively three stations.
There's something different happening when 75% of the nation (your friends included) are watching the same program at exactly the same time.
Just today I was on YouTube watching Michael Jackson do the first Moonwalk on the Motown 25 year special and remember the next day having every single friend of mine bust their arse or twist an ankle claiming they could do it.
Then again, the shows were shite because there was no competition. But "the good ole days" and all that shite.

The 80s was Godly to live in
