anyone miss the 80's?

Question

do you love the 80's?i loved weeble wobbles,space hoppers,chopper bikes and the music.what's your favourite thing?

Answer 1

i was born in the 80's so don't really remember it sorry!!

Answer 2

Weren't weebles, space hoppers and chopper bikes from the 70s? I was a sixth former in the early eighties. I miss the music: ABC, Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode etc. Then in the mid eighties I was a student (on a grant - remember those things?), and I miss the indie music I listened to; the Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Cocteau Twins etc., then, in the late eighties, I started work - hurricane, stock market crash, housing market collapse - I don't miss any of that. Best thing about the eighties - Thatcher, worst thing - Chernobyl.

Answer 3

This is my fourth decade. I can barely remember the 70's as I was only born in 1976, The 90's was rubbish and so is this decade, so I'd have to say the 80's was probably my favourite decade.
My favourite part of the 80's was Transformers, I loved them when I was a kid. Some good music came out in the 80's, like Prince and Kate Bush for instance.
My least favourite part of the 80's was having to go to school and being bullied by morons.

Answer 4

I miss a lot of things about the 1980's....for a start I was much more younger then ..so i miss that for one. My favourite thing was definitely 80's music and I seem to be stuck in a time-warp as i still love listening to 80s music and going to concerts that involves artists from the 80's


The 80's rocks

Answer 5

I loved the 80s I had the weebles playground! I gave a lot of my toys away (foolishly) and now I'm buying my childhood back off ebay! I bought myself the huge sindy house with all the furniture. They just don't make toys like they used to! Kids TV was better back then... Rainbow, Danger mouse, He-man and She-ra! I love 80's music too. I had a flick lol and wore rara skirts. When I went to Trax the roller skating club I wore fluorescent fingerless gloves and leg warmers! I'm a big fan of all the 80s movies, Pretty in pink, Sixteen candles, Teenwolf, Karate Kid. I could go on all night! Oh those were the days.

Answer 6

I grew up inthe 80's, late 80s anyhow. Started college in 86. These were some of the best times in my life.

I miss the people I used to hang out with more than anything. Most of us went seperate ways as our lives progressed. Once in a while a few of us still get together.

As far as "Things" I miss, well...Beavis & Butthead, Married With Children , Guns & Roses... and "The Cure" when they were still good.

Answer 7

I was born in '88 and so I'm too young to remember it. But I do regret not being around for the greatest era of music in the world (i'm a Depeche Mode fan!). When I was 3, I can remember one of my family gave me their original 80's Space Hopper, and I wouldn't come off it for months. Bloomin' great!!!

Answer 8

dang, i was in my 20's during the 80's. yeah the music was kinda cornball, but some good rock came outta seattle at the time.

i guess i miss the '85 chicago bears the most, exciting and winning football. both my sons were born in the 80's too, musta been a great decade.

al

Answer 9

It was horrible.

1. I was at school, horrible
2. Mullet hair cuts.
3. Duran Duran and Wham (oh god NOOOO)
4. Liverpool winning everything in the football (boring)
5. Cr&p TV (4 channels and the closedown - yes they actually switched off the programs at the end of the night)
6. Cr&p films (Fame, Flashdance, Top Gun)
7. I didn't get a chopper I was given a friggin' Grifter (and it was as heavy as a truck and I couldn't do wheelies.
8. Bruce Willis was actually cool (Moonlighting) but it's hard to get the look of a receeding hairline when you are 14.

I'm going to stop now. This is bringing back too many painful memories.

Answer 10

I miss being that young and no responsibilities, plus the hair and music. But hey I see some of the styles are coming back this fall, like poof skirts, leggings, and tapered jeans with zippered ankles, maybe some of the other 80's things will return too. :-)

Answer 11

I miss 1987, that was a good year, oh yes, ahhhh shame you have to grow up really, saying that 2006 is getting very interesting!

So ermm yes 1987 was my favourite thing about the 80's
