the 80's dedicated to peanuts

ok babe this is for you. Your question deserved a whole thread. What do you miss abou the 80's? I was really little but I still miss it;here's my list-
leg warmers
tee-shirt ties
jelly sandals
jean skirts
jumpsuits with rhinestones
depeche mode, duran duran and decent U2
la gear high tops
wearing hot pink
wearing multiple pairs of socks

 

Brent Mydland is about it for me

 

what do I miss about the 80's? NOTHING!

 

damn the 80's was kind of superficial was it not? Not one thing on my list had any substance.

 

wait I was wrong...I know one thing I miss about the 80's...being a little kid! yea, I miss that.

 

I was born in November 1989, so there's probably not a lot I can miss about it, lol.

 

I remember eating lady bugs, coloring in a batman coloring book, and throwing up on a plane going from Germany to New Jersey. out of all those I probably miss that coloring book the most.

 

hee hee, I was MADE IN THE 80'S!!!

I miss smurfs,leg warmers, jellies, side ponytails, french rolls, crimped hair...my lost could go on forever...I remeber a lot 'cause I have older sisters.

 

oh my gosh I forgot smurf, fraggles and crimped hair thanks for reminding me

 

I miss mixing tapes for friends.

 

I remember mixed tapes. I had the sweetest boyfriend in junior high who used to make them for me. I would say I loved him more than any adult relationship I've had

 

I was definitely not in with the 80's trends - a bit of an outcast actually, from 4th grade on everyone was like what's the deal with the kid wearing tye-dyed shirts and who the heck is the grateful dead.

 

sounds like me now....

 

Hence, why I said the biggest thing to me in the 80's was Brent Mydland.

 

Ryan whose Brent myland? I have never heard of him.

 

keyboard player for the dead during the 80's - died in 1990 - broke my 14 year old heart at the time.

 

ohhh. I am going to be slammed, but I don't like the greatful dead (duck),

 

I think you had to be there. It's not just the music, there's a whole sub-culture attached. You might think differently about them if you had been to a Dead show.

 

I went to one in newport beach and loved the people but just didn't dig them...sorry.

 

This true for many, but not all. For some, it has been and always will be about their music.
