I LOVED the 80's. I was 8 in 1980 and grew up with the music, people and events. I was into break dancing until I got a free ticket to a heavy metal concert in '85 (Iron Maiden) and it changed my tastes in music.
Times were MUCH simpler for me then and I miss that time period. I'm totally addicted to my local retro station. :)
: ...why do people keep saying this? It didn't!! I was 7 when the 80's began so I did a big part of growing up in this decade...and I think it sucked. My childhood didn't suck, that was great, my friends were fine friends, I lived in cool places, shit - even school was ok. But the worst fashion, mainstream music, attitudes ever! The 80's doesn't deserve the revival its been having, bury it deep, deep down and then run away!
: Just out of interest, how old were you in the eighties? Or are you making this comment in a speculative kinda way, the way I might make a comment about the 60's?
