I was born in 1971, so I remember a lot about the 80's. I graduated in 1989, the last grad class of the 80's. I loved the music, movies, and styles. I actually had an Ollie North haircut in high school. My favorite 80's movie has to be "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." I miss the 80's. The greatest time to be alive.

I loved the 80s. I remember my mom having a kiss poster on her bedroom door and I also remember playing Super Mario Bros 1 on the first nintendo that my uncle Phil had in his family room. Even though I was born in 1984 I can still remember a whole lot about my favorite {half decade}. The 80s ruled!!!

I was born in 1984 and I remember playing Pac Man in 1989. But my best memory of the 80s was playing The original nintendo also in 1989. I loved the music, some TV shows I remember, my grandmother's 80s panasonic TV, all in all I really loved the 80s. Even though I was so little I remember a whole lot about the fab 80s.

Does anyone remember the show..."Square Pegs"?,"Punky Brewster"....or the video's for Hungry like the Wolf and "The Reflex",Black Station,White Station"by M&M,"Talk Dirty to me" by Poison. Does anyone remember how the video of "We're not gonna take it"by Twisted Sister starts. Remember when Michael Jackson's hair caught on fire! during a Pepsi commercial,big Earrings, Help!!!I'm hearing songs from the 80's in my head!!!!!!

I love and remember the 80,s...I was born in 1970,so I was coming of age in the 80's. My first album was: "THE BEST OF BLONDIE". I used to go rollerskating..(not rollerblading) to songs: "Heart of Glass","Tide is Hide","I Love Rock and Roll" "Stars On 45","It's Still Rock and Roll to Me","Jessie's Girl". I had Iron-on T-shirts,that you could pick at. My hair was feathered back. I also had those thin leather ties to give you that "masculine" look. I like playing pinball games and playing arcade games like Frogger,Galaxians,Space Invaders,Pac-man and Mrs.Pacman. My favourite cereals were: Booberry,Smurfberry crunch,Pacman I saw Culture Club in concert and coloured my hair RED,GOLD and GREEN! I also liked to dance like I was Madonna,and dress up like her. I also had a collection of bracelets up my arms. I always wanted a SIMON game,but mom didn't buy it for me. I owed a Kodak Disc Camera though. My bedroom walls were covered with posters of Duran Duran,John Stamos,Platinum Blonde,Wham,George Michaels,Bon Jovi,Loverboy,Kirk Cameron,Ricky Shroder,Rick Springfield,John Cougar(who was my FIRST love!)and I spent endless time kissing his album cover "AMERICAN FOOL",Michael Damian...HUNK!!!,Jack Wagner..(Frisco)off of General Hospital. I also had Wrestling posters on my wall...Rowdy Roddy Pipper...The ruler of Piper's Pit and of Wrestling World!,Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat,Jimmy"the Superfly"Snuka,Brett"the Hitman" Hart,Sgt.Slaugter,Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda,Killer Bees,Paul"Mr.Wonderful"Orndorff,Adrian Adonis.. ..(in the leather jacket),Greg Valentine,Von Erich brothers. I went to WWF wrestling matches...I watched Wrestlemania 1,2 and 3. I met some wrestlers afterwards..and met Mr.T at a wrestling event! I stopped watching when Roddy retired in Wrestlemania 3. I remember watching Lady Diana get married to Prince Charles,and everyone did their speeches on them for school! Everyone had faith in "Happily Ever After". I also remember when John Lennon got shot,the rest of the school year,our class rebelled in honor of John Lennon's shooting,in the process gave our 5th grade teacher a nervous breakdown! I watched in shock the "Space shuttle Challenger"...exploded right on t.v,and a piece of me died. I watched endless repeats of: "Breakfast Club","Porky's","Last American Virgin","Sixteen Candles","Empire Strikes Back","Return of the Jedi","Back to the Future","Gremlins","Ghostbusters","Footloose"-Of Course!,"E.T", I also LOVE the documentary "KOYAANISQATSI" My first 80's movie I watched was: "Coal Miner's Daughter" Cartoons I used to watch..Smurfs,Battle of the Planets...G-Force,Fraggle Rock,Muppet show,Hall of Justice-superfriends,You can't do that on television,Jem,Dr.Snuggles,Secret Railroad,Barbrapapas,Simon in the land of Chalk Drawings,Read-a-long with Boot and Pretty. Later on I liked Dukes of Hazzard,Webster,Kate and Allie,Silver Spoons,Family Ties,Cosby Show,Facts of Life,Too close for Comfort,Three's Company,Fantasy Island,Love Boat, more I can't think of now...... I spent my money on: Archie Comic Books,Silly Putty,Bottle Cap candy,Garbage pail candy,fountain candy with the black licorice inside,stickers,16 magazine,Superteen mag.,legwarmers,hairspray,caps,record albums,then cassette tapes,walkmans,glow in the dark shoelaces,animal print shirts...tiger stripes,harem pants,jelly shoes,rock and roll artist buttons,concert shirts,stretch pants,stretch jeans,impulse body spray,flair-temp.hair colors,big long sweaters,banana clips,fish-net shirts,anything on Canadian rocker Gowan. I could go ON and On and ON,like I already have...I remember the 80's like it was yesterday. Hope everybody else does too!

Wow going through this website was incredible! I remember so much from the 80's, but after reading the other entries, it brought back SO MUCH MORE! I think because I am now approaching 30 and have three children, I feel the need to go back to the 80's. When I think about that decade it just makes me feel so sad that, that time is over. Living in my parents house being called in for dinner, playing kick the can, R.C.K. (run catch and kiss) and all those other great games that you and everybody else on the block played. Begging to stay out for another 15 minutes. Great snow storms where we played "King Of The Mountain" for hours. Being in love for the first time, playing spin the bottle and making it land on the person you wanted to kiss. Listening to Planet Rock, Silly, Heavenly Father on the radio. Wearing your tight Sergio Valentes with your pink neon shirt and neon belt and neon slouch socks. Wearing your boyfriends name buckle belt. Rollerskating (on four wheels!) at the local rink with the last song always being "New York, New York". I feel as if I could go on and on. I did love the 80's and if "Fantasy Island" (remember that one?), really did exist my fantasy would be to go back to the 80's and experience and savor every minute of it. Life was different back then maybe just because I was a young teenager and my parents still took care of me, but I think it's much more. Now I see why my mom always talks about the 60's. Thank you again for the memories. It was a wonderful ride down memory lane!

im a DISCO child born 1978. now 22years old i still find myself watching "FLASHDANCE" over and over, cutting up my clothes and wearing lots and LOTS of lace!!!! (i,m notorius for wearing only one GLOVE....so the story is the 80's is coming back in a big big big way. BIGGER then we realize. bring out those fishnets and pumps!! but my look does consist of an 80's millenium twist. ROCK ON!!@#$%% JESSE

The 80's ruled! Born in San Francisco in '73. Lived through the chord pants and the hush puppies of the late 70's. This made me able to thank God for the style of the 80's. Life was great! I listened to Neil Diamond on my dads 8-Track, I still have my fold-out Michael Jackson Thriller album (with the tiger cub..or whatever it is) and to this day, I listen to "Crazy for You" and "Wang Chung" on my 45. I laugh at pictures of myself with my parachute pants or my ultra thin leather ties. I kept my white and very graffitied Chuck Taylors and my pink and grey checkered Vans. My kids watch Grandpa's 8mm film of me skating back when skateboards had a definitive nose and a difinitive tail. The kids giggle at my high school-aged videos of me sounding like Jeff Spiccoli (gnarly dude!)as I pulled off (or not) some cool skating or surfing trick. The kids thought they were being punished when I had them take time off of the Nintendo64 and play the Atari 2600! I was pleased to see that even today, Combat puts kids to sleep. Guys were allowed to wear groovy things like jelly bracelets and those string-knotted "friendship bracelets"..rememeber those? Back in the day when Donkey Kong was the bad guy. We didn't even know Mario HAD a brother. Asteroides ruled. We thought TRON was a game of the gods. Cried when the Police separated, laughed when Footloose joked about them. I remember the evolution of my metal Mercedes pedal car, giving way to my Big Wheel, giving way to my Green Machine, giving way to my Spin-Out 360! Oh, and my steel-wheeled rooler skates with the key-adjuster! That preceeded them all.He-Man, The Transformers, Go Bots, GI-Joe, Thundercats, Silverhawks, Jem and the Holograms, Looney Toons, Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights, The Dukes of Hazard, Night Rider, Airwolf, the A-Team, Start Trek re-runs before anybody ever heard of the Next Generation, Star Wars on the first run, Battle Star Galactica. Man, those were the days. Back when Yo MTV Raps was a small segment as opposed to the whole days show, when Billy Idol and Mc Jagger told us "I want my MTV" and it was a new and exciting thing! When the brat back sold out theatres being on every-other movie, when Barney was Fred's trusy side kick and not a singing dinosaur. Oh, Kids Incorporated! Who remembers them? Wow, I can brain dump forever. Our lives were encapsulated by The Breakfast Club...Today, High School life would be better represented by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But, to all those twenty and thirty-somethings out there...(NOT the kids born in the friggin 80's...I have 8 and 9 year old kids...they won't remember a THING about the 90's...so, dream on!)...who still, to this day, can't put on a pair of glasses after the sun goes down without hearing "I wear my sunglasses at night" play in there head...We lived through the greatest decade ever! They will never be able to copy it like the 60's and 70's, because it was too broad and all-encompassing! the music blended with the fashion which blended with the lifestyles...Too much, too awesome. I loved it. Let's all safety dance together Reagan ruled!

well i was born in 1982 but I was at a gross advantage over all other 1982 children because i had older brothers and sisters who filled me in on what i had missed and kept me up to date. i remember our rides to the swimming pool in our station wagon or brown Buick Riviera before we got the sassy 1986 jeep wagoneer with wood paneling!! we would chew big league chew and "smoke" candy cigarettes and blast horrible easy listening like Kokimo the ingenius beach boys comeback.. My brother was into guns and roses and any other metal so i knew all the words even though Metallica's ONE video used to make me cry. this same brother was Hulk Hogan for Halloween the same year I dressed as my altime hero..PUNKY BREWSTER!!! I memorized every show on nickelodeon and i loved Today's special more then anything else in the world!! I would also dabble in MTV and i would easily trade TRL for their old top 20 friday night countdown!!! My Barbies were my best friends..they would ride my my little ponys...flirt with my NKOTB dolls...and interact with my happy meal toys!! The movies of the 80s are still on my top ten list: ferris bueller, nightmare on elm street, Killer klowns from outer space, all john hughs movies,stand by me

I was born in '67, graduated in '85 - the heart of it all. I had the distinct pleasure of going through high school AND college in the eighies. Why did I love the eighties? Nothing was bad for you yet, we could eat what we wanted, drink what we wanted, do what we wanted without fear. We went to bars at 15 because we could get away with it. We wore miniskirts to the County Fair and were the bells of the ball. We drank beer under water towers trying to stay away from the cops and ours parents. We cruised, with no particular place to go. We went with people (remember "going with" someone??) and traded class rings. We wrapped tons of yard around our boyfriend's class rings to make them fit. We listened to the BEST music (we still seek it out on the radio). The 80's were my "coming of age" years - something I will never forget and never want to forget.

i was born in 1984. so that makes me a child of the 80's. i remeber alot of things to. i remember watching hunter and 21 jumpstreet and waking up to do the 30 minute workout with my mom. i always did love that!i can rememberthe songs i used to sing, like the every song written by the bangles, bon jovi, micheal jackson, and even new kids on the block. being born i the 80's is something i hold very dear to my heart and is something that could never happen again. at the time i never really took advantage of this time period. i never thought about never seeing some of the shows or hearing some the great music. one thing i love most about the 80's is the really cool commericals! other things i love about the 80's are the totally cool cartoons. i remeber coming home from headstart and my aunt would tape all the shows i missed.. i stil have the tape today and i like to look at it!! i saw maxie's world and punky brewster,the ghostbusters and old hi-c commericals and many other things. looking back in retrospec, the 80's was a time of coming to age and for me an era of growing up. if only then would i have know how lucky i was to be born in one of the best decades ever, would i have like to take advantage of it.

I am a 40-something baby-boomer and the 80's to me were the closest to 60's in terms of love ballads and soft sounds. Not all of the music of course, but a good bit of it. Which leads to another reason I am writing. I cannot jot down fast enough the addresses I see on television that advertise cd's with various from the 80's. One that I saw the other night included the songs "I'll Stop the World," "This Much Is True," and "Hold Me Now." Can any one help me and steer me in the right direction. Thank you.

Having been born in 1970, I'd have to say that I love the 80's so much because everything got so much brighter and happier. No more earth tones in fashion; we got bright neon colors! Everyone's dad was finally home from the hell in Vietnam, and the 80's seemed like one big decade-long, well-deserved party. After the insanity of the 60's and the dreariness of the 70's, it was long in coming. Nevermind the fact that the 80's had no real wars, yet each and every one of us can consider ourselves a veteran...of the Cold War. Which seemed to me to be the defining statement of the 80's: "Party on, dude, we may be dead tomorrow". Or something like that. I've never lived in a more carefree decade. Judging from the tensions in seemingly everything nowadays, it seems that an 80's resurgence is inevitable. Cross your fingers, and break out your hot pink bandanas. ;)

I was born in 1970 and by the time the eighties came I was going into being a teenager so I did enjoy going to the clubs wearing outrageous fashions,having big hair,using lots of hair spray and using all those neon colors fashions. I was always "cool" wearing the latest styles and the music was so cool too....I have a friend of mine that back then used to look like a Madonna clone-I swear-everywhere she showed up she caused a stir!!!!I am talking blond hair with dark roots,big neon hair bow,lace gloves,lace socks,neon colored pumps,mini skirts,net blouse and lots of black rubber bracelets.......she was crazy-well she still is just that now she look like Christina Aguilera,we are both 29 and we look like we are 18 and I still have all those crazy fashions I used to wear in a suitcase up in the attic of my house.......do you think they will be back in fashion someday?.......don't think so.........and if they do I don't think it will be nice of me going dressed like that again!!!!!!!!!so to me the 80's were the best of the best and if you were a teenage back in the 80's you know what I'm talking about they were OUTRAGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I am ashamed to admit it, I was the only one who liked Jon of The New Kids On the Block. Even then I was different. Now, I am still strange. But what is so strange about admiring a time when men wore makeup and Bono was cute and everybody knew the safety dance? Softcell, the Go-Go's, U2, the B52's, A-ha, Duran Duran, Thompson Twins, Dead or Alive, The Clash, Echo and the Bunnymen, the Psychodelic Furs, Men Without Hats, Billy Idol, Men At Work, Blondie, the Cars, the Smiths, Midnight Oil, the Church, Big Audio Dynamite, Ramones, the Cure, New Order, the Bangles, TMBG, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, The Violent Femmes, 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink (i want to marry duckie), Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Jem, THE YOUNG ONES!!! I too am a child of the eighties. (1984) I am so obsessed. I can't even walk into a music store without checking out the New Wave section. I live for it. The music is so carefree and easy to dance to. Any stellar 80's info? cesspoolofpride@hotmail.com

I was born in 1975. I love the 1980's becuase that's what I remember most about my childhood. The music always made you want to dance. It was a time when life seem to have not as many worries. My heart was young and free. Hair bands and the sound of hip hop rap were ruling the scene and teen movies were the bomb. Lisense to Drive, Girls just wanna have fun,Family ties and the list goes on. Life was a lot more simple as a child in the 80's

I was born in 1976 so I am more of an 80s child than anything. I loved everything about the 80s, the cartoons (G.I. Joe, He-Man, Transformers, BraveStarr,etc.), all those awesome towys (G.I. Joe, Transformers, etc) and all that great music that came out of this era. Who can forget the Atari and then the Nintendo (I still have and use mine to this day, forget the Playstation!), the fashions, the slang, everything about the 80s is truly unique and I doubt will ever be matched again. Long live the 80s!!

i remember back in the day when we were all loose and happy! there was no limit to the creativity and imagination! I still have my red hi-top converse chuck taylors! i remember fraggle rock and pac man. the 80's were the best, especially for music!

i loved the 1980's. i was born in 1983. 17 years old now. im so glad i was a product of the 80's. i don't care what anybody says, the 80's are the best. the way we spent our time on commedor 64 and nintendo. <----- the best systems u could ever get. the 80's were a time of expersing yourself and playing origanal things and when i say that i mean origanal. not all this technolohy today. dexy midnight runners forever and madness. i wish i was still stuck in the 80's. the best time in my life.........i still have nintendo and i still listin to the music. although i was much more younger then some people i still enjoyed it!!!!!
