The 80's rocked. We all know. But what about the 80's rocked the hardest? (I'm saying the hair.)

Lets see....
I went through a phase of trying to be cool like Don Johnson....
I thought it was cool to try and do the "moonwalk." (what was I thinking)
I kept trying to get my hair to have that "feathered back" look for a guy.
I actually wore pastels...
I did own OP T-shirts, tight stonewashed jeans, and the ever popular parachute pants (what was I thinking)
The necessary brands you had to own were Guess, Ralph Loren, Aidas, Vans, IZOD
I never could solve the Rubik's cube but i kept trying.
I sucked at trivial pursuit.
I loved the arcade and .25 could buy a heck of a lot of time. (Pac-Man)
I said words like wicked, chill, preppy, for sure, tubular, have a cow, Just say No, to the max, and wicked
I saw ET, Beverly Hills Cop, Ghostbusters, Top Gun ( when Mr Cruise wasn't weird), Lethal Weapon
I think I spend the 80's rather well overall...I can remember generation X or the me generation as a good time and we played hard and had a lot of fun.
