Who was lucky enough to be around during one of the coolest decades ever the 80s

Cover of the track thrown up earlier in the thread :
I don't think the 80s were brilliant , but it seemed a lot more innocent ( likely due to youth and naivete ) compared to the shite we get daily now (curse and blessing of the interwebs - more access to info not necessarily making us better/smarter…)
I remember getting ridiculed for trying to play a Fugazi and Primus tapes in my friends car , was tired of his narrow taste in music . Years later he turned me on to different bands . The kids now are listening to all these new bands , that to me sound like the ones I liked in the early to 80s...

Yup, great times and tunes…

My denim memory of the 80s is how everyone wore them in a fit that would be considered two sizes too small today. 501s had just been relaunched, and they fitted you right when you had to lie down flat, exhale hard, and go through all sorts of contortions to get them just barely buttoned.
I laugh about it today myself, and grin, just a little, when someone tells me my jeans are too tight….. -
My brother sent me these . As you see I didn't think much of the '80's. Yes that is my submarine.
Pendleton shirt, Levis 501's & a ratty nylon jacket that no-one liked but me. My jacket standard has improved-otherwise I wear the same stuff .
I liked that stupid jacket. Look like Levis, maybe I'm wearing Wranglers.Glasses-hey, it's the '80's, fuck off. Yes my brother is a giant fucker. I know it's in California, and it looks like someplace we really shouldn't be. -

Being a submariner in the 80's must have been nerve racking…
As a side note, I watched Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles on a plane recently, and both movies are impossible to enjoy AFAIC. Without the teenage angst they loose whatever charm they once had.
I still love the music though...

Was born in 86 so I missed out. I think just about every past decade is romanticized a bit in my head though.
-
^that's because the teenage years, Music, movies etc. have a high impact on us. So, almost everybody Claims that their decade was the best.
I even started to like a few things about the 90s (being born in 84 they're "my decade"). That says it all.

I was born in 1970 so the 80's was a significant decade for me. I got into BMX'ing after getting a Team Murray in 1980. I had many different BMX bikes that I raced at local level and I loved ramp riding, freestyle and street riding. I skated street and ramps in the early to mid 80's and watched the Bones Brigade video and The Search For animal Chin among others. Musically I got into Electro and Hip Hop which continued until House and Techno burst onto the scene in 1987. In 1988 I went off to Uni in London where I studied, bought vinyl and continued clubbing. The 80's were a blast

I was born in ‘72 and your life sounds similar to mine, except I didn’t get into the bmx thing. I did skate though and the Bones Brigade were among my favorites. I also got into hip hop and metal, and bought tons of vinyl. Yep, good times
