Different year, same crap. Wilfred_Owen
Dont know if you were actually OLD enough to even comment? If you were born in 85 or later you are to young to even remember the 80s. They were in fact the birth of EVERYTHING we know and love today from MTV to videogames,to clothing styles, hair styles, slang talk, movies, music,everything...People now days may thing something is so COOL and new until they are told NO it came from the 80s first..The 80s was the best most influential decade ever..
Never was a massive fan of 80s things to be honest. New Romantics? No! Shoulder pads? Heck no!
The 70s were far superior imo.MissLibrarian
No love for New Romantisism? Awww... not even a little Chant No 1 (I Don't Need This Pressure On) - Spandau Ballet - YouTube?
Aww...
I guess many here are unaware that many in the 80s didn't appreciate it at the time and, like the 70s, thought that music generally sucked. Only in retrospect did many (not all, I grant) come to appreciate it. So chances are, if you were there in real time TC, you wouldn't have held it as a golden era like you apparently do now.dsmccrackenNot true. The reason people that lived in the 70s complain is because disco was prevalent. The 80s didn't have the problem.
I do love 80s music best....not to say I don't find good music before or after...but 80s was best.LJS9502_basic
I agree with this. Movies from the 80s are awesome as well.
90's were better. Video games were only just starting to get good in the late 80's. By the time the 90's came around we had so many great games. Plus we had Bill Clinton in the 90's.
More to entertainment than games.....so looking at the overall picture....80s > 90s.90's were better. Video games were only just starting to get good in the late 80's. By the time the 90's came around we had so many great games. Plus we had Bill Clinton in the 90's.

Very true. :P
so cybrbullies, posers, and teen bop are the only things that make you glad you are where you are right now?Internet, Cell phones that aren't the size of air jordans, and a much wider selection of music are the only things that make me glad I'm where I am right now.

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] I hope you mean the development of alternative and not hair metal.:PLJS9502_basic
*nervous grin*
Eh.. oh, oh yes.. of course. :P
Honestly though, I'd say I was referring to a combination of both.
Oh. 80s metal I'd go with the New Wave of British Heavy Metal that started roughly the late 70s and influenced American metal. Bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Megadeth etc were popular in the 80s. Not so much the Motley Crues, Poisons etc.Hmm well Megadeth and Metallica are American thrash, but I do agree that 80s had some great metal.
As long as you just kind of ignore hair metal at least. :P

yes. i live 80's music. i'll take 80's new wave, and Deathrock over indie any day thank you. Industrial music was better IMO too back then. these days it's pretty much turned into rave music.
I think the 80s look lame... I wouldn't know since I wasn't alive then, but I always thought the 70s looked the most interesting.
