Wow, is it really bad that I am only aware of most of these because of the special on VH1?

<laughing> Oh yes, definately a child of the 80's. I still mourn the loss of my 80's hairdo. Do you think those styles will ever come back? Afterall...bell bottoms did and so did polyester! f

Better still... why bother letting pop culture, genrational peer pressure or every maufactured pop trend define what you are? Just a thought.

Because shared memories are fun, and like it or not we live in a fairly consumer culture. It isn't pressure to be something. It's identification of the same childhood icons. You like to kill other people's fun, don't you.

quote: You like to kill other people's fun, don't you. No..not at all..whatever floats your boat. Truth to tell..even though I was born in 1971..I identify more with those who went through the 60's more than my own generation. I probably listen to more late 60's music than anything. I hated growing up in the Reagan 80's. My problem is..I don't belong ANYWHERE. I just view things differently..and i'm DEMONIZED for it. I'm used to it. No big deal. I will not stop. As the character TRINITY in the series "the Matrix" once said..."the MATRIX cannot tell you who you are".

My absolute favorite song in the world is 1985 by Bowling for Soup. It's like I love the 80's but in a song. Plus it's the year I was born! Enjoy: 1985 "Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all One Prozac a day, husband's a CPA Her dreams went out the door When she turned twenty-four Only been with one man What happened to her plan She was gonna be an actress She was gonna be a star She was gonna shake her ass On the hood of White Snake's car Her yellow SUV is now the enemy Looks at her average life And nothing has been alright Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she's uncool Cause she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 Woohoohoo (1985) Woohoohoo She's seen all the classics, she knows every line 'Breakfast Club', 'Pretty in Pink' Even 'St. Elmo's Fire' She rocked out to Wham! Not a big Limp Bizkit fan Thought she'd get a hand On a member of Duran Duran Where's the mini-skirt made of snake skin And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen When did reality become TV Whatever happened to sitcoms, game shows On the radio was Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she's uncool Cause she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985 Woohoohoo She hates time, make it stop When did Motley Crue become classic rock And when did Ozzy become an actor Please make this stop, stop Stop, and bring back Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she's uncool Cause she's still preoccupied With 1985 Springsteen, Madonna Way before Nirvana There was U2 and Blondie And music still on MTV Her two kids in high school They tell her that she’s uncool Cause she's still preoccupied With 19, 19, 1985"

speaking of songs, this thread made me think of this one. This one is by Something Corporate Babies of the 80's I grew up on five-alive And transformers and slip-n-slide Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze Disco out and techno in to synthesize my favorite sin And here I am on my knees To get it back again Babies of the 80's Little girls in lycra shorts Tented beds, nerf contact sports My babies of the 80's Shout it out just one more time For the generation that was all mine We learned to crawl on linoleum floors Ronald Regan fought Star Wars But he'll never be Han Solo Students march Tienemen Square They took him out hey that's not fair Dad said it's good to be free As we watched from our T.V. chorus We watched the wall fall down Woke up early for Bozo the clown MTV and Nick at Night And I slept for the first time Without the light My Babies of the 80's Little girls in jelly shoes got the ferris bueller blues My babies of the 80's yes we could be something after all Who Knew

Joico Ice Mist Spray...had to lmao on that one....i use to pile it on high!! lol...had the bangs coming down on my forehead and the spikes a mile high! the higher the better! then let's not forget the wings on each side! lmao! the dark charcoal black eye liner cleopatra style lol...the neon pumps with the lil half folded socks, of course, the big madonna wannabe bow on the head lol... Remember , New Edition (mr. telephone man, is something wrong with my line? when i dial my baby's number i get a click every time) lol .. "Menudo", Purple Rain, Police Academy (Mooove it mooove it mooove it!) ..Back to the Future.. Cats... Cheech & Chong... Urban Cowboy.. i'll always love the 80's.... the goofy funny movies like Air Plane and National Lampoons Vacation....the real cheesy love songs like "Open Arms", or those slow songs by Chicago... the motivational "you can do or be anything! reach for the stars!" type movies like Karate Kid, Flash Dance, Foot Loose,... There was no such thing as "political correctness", people enjoyed living well, there was so much elegance and glamour...over the top glamour even lol ... i think that movie, i believe it was called Boogie Nights with Mark Wahlberg and Burt Reynolds, captured the essence of the 80's sooooo well! i think the movie represents the late 70's and early 80's, if i remember correctly, but it just really took me back to the day! lmao .... the excitement, danger, abundance, that vibe of anything is possible energy that was so alive in the 80's... the 70's i don't remember quite as much because i was born in 74, the 90's had it's moments....but in IMO, the 80's Rocked! lol

hair bands!!! i've definitely got a thing for guys with long hair - even if it was usually a poofy, teased-out, permed mullet. [sm=tongue.gif] i was so disappointed when so many of those guys cut their hair...

ruffnecksbabygir -> RE: 80'S Child!! (4/5/2005 6:43:20 AM)
i got into the hair bands in the late 80's early 90's... we'd go to every rock concert in town, Skid Row, Poison, Inxs, Kiss, Aerosmith (still is my favorite), Guns n' Roses, Bon Jovi, etc... i use to just looooove those sappy rock ballads! i'll admit, i still do[:D]
