Answer 1

This so hits on what my daughter and I were talking about the other day....she is 13 and we were speaking of what is hot now and IN...we were laughing that one day she will be looking back at old photo albums and videos and saying "I can't believe my hair was like that..or boys wore those pants"...Wow....the memories too...but have you also noticed how much is starting to come back?? Seriously my daughter and her friends enjoy much of this now!!! History Repeating!!!

Answer 2

LOL! I LOVED this! I am so a child of the 80's. I loved Molly Ringwald and always wished I could look like her. I remember Pong and airhockey, and "Rapper's Delight" and ATARI, my god, and Flashdance ripped shirts, leg warmers, I had about six Swatches (they were only about $30 at the time) and YES, "1999" seemed so far far away! I will always love, "Back To The Future" and all of the great 80's music coming out of the U.K. Damn, I wish I could go back in time!

There are many more I identify with.
