I LOVED IT!!! There were no worries of guns in school, terrorists, we all hung out and listened to Wham, Frankie goes to Hollywood,Reo Speedwagon, styxs,etc...We had the neon fad, the peg pants fad, the feather earing fad, we spiked our hair up and used many cans of aquanet to do it! No video games, except for atari and coleco vison, meant you hung out with your friends more. The biggest deal for girls was getting the princess phone in your room, that was status! I get teased all the time because i STILL rock with my 80's songs! we got to see the unvailing of MTV and it showed videos then, not all this reality stuff thats on it now, we wore the fashion of irene cara in flashdance, the off the shoulder sweatshirt, and then we got into the madonna stage, our parents didnt like that too much though! There were so many things that were great about growing up then, the horror movies you went to see were good, there was maniac, halloween,my bloody valentine, and so much more!
