I can remember,my father argueing with the man in the store,
because,he wanted $5.00 a pr. for my Keds.The drinking age in NY
was 18,and they never asked for an ID.Driving home from NY to
Conn. was a bitch.Oh Yeah,I graduated in 1961,so I wasn't a
teenager in the '80s!I was "pissed when gas, for my lawnmower,
went to $.25 a gal.I had 8 grasscutting jobs & that cut into my
profit.Did someone say "Old as Dirt"? Irish
P.S. I was 17 in 1961!

Cheyanne---Your mention of Boones Farm,reminded me.I had
(I say,had.He was killed in a motorcycle accident)a riding buddy,
who had a nickname,of Boomer.His parents had a beautiful farm.
They died,and left it to him.The last time,that I was at his beautiful
farmhouse,His "chopper" & my other riding buddies,'39 Knuckle-
Head,were parked in the living room,all of the furniture,had been
burned in the fireplace.The livingroom floor,was strewn with empty,beer cans.The mailbox was an old Honda,with the side of the gastank opening for mail.Over the mailbox,was the "new"
name.Booms Farm!I guess that he invented it from the wine!I had
some crazy,but good friends!(Old days!) Irish

LMAO!! So very true. I actually had to lie down on the bed and use a saftey pin to help zip my pants up they were so tight. Then I would put on one of my cool Flashdance off the shoulder shirts and away I would go to spend the day in quiet agony of pain. Oh those were the days.

I was only about 9 at the time, but I still remember turning on MTV and wondering who the hell would want to listen to these Nirvana lads and exactly where all the Warrant, Skid Row and Motley Crue clips went...

Well I never wore Nike or Reebok, but I had Chuck's in every color of the rainbow, a pair of combat boots and these great silk granny boots with such pointy toes I could have taken someones eye out with them! LOL... We joke that the girls weren't so hot in the 80's, but I think we just couldn't tell because of the oversized shirts! Over the 4th my sister was up and had all these old 80's cd's, it was so fun. I heard stuff that I hadn't heard for years....But you know your old when the music you listened to in highschool is on a time/life commerative disc and played on oldies stations.

I am such a product of the 80's. They were a great time, much easier than it is now, in my mind. Course, regardless of the era, it's always easier to be a child than an adult, so I could be jaded on that observation.

I would argue that a lot of the synth-pop stuff from the '80s was a form of disco, albeit evolved from the '70s disco sound. House music started in the '80s.

Edit: Now playing: New Order - Blue Monday
