Top Ten reasons the 80's were a cooler time to be a teenager
than the 90's:

10. MTV actually played videos in the 80's.

9. There was only one kind of Nike tennis shoes (White with a red swoosh), and they didn't cost $125.

8. A comb in your back pocket was more practical and less painful than a ring through your nose.

7. In the 80's playing video games actually meant going out to DO something.

6. In the 80's, when you were out partying, you didn't have to worry about your Mom calling you on your cell phone.

5. In the 80s we didn't have to worry about getting our heads blown off at school - unless you put a whole pack of Pop Rocks in your mouth and drank a coke.

4. Debbie Gibson vs. Britney Spears. New Kids on the Block vs. N'Sync. New Edition vs. Hanson. Ok, that one's a draw.

3. In the early 80's there were kids in your high school who could BUY ALCOHOL LEGALLY.

2. Feathered hair was easier to care for than dreadlocks.

And the number one reason the 80's were a cooler time to grow
up than the 90's:

1. In the 80's you didn't have to worry about your pants falling down all the time. They were so tight we couldn't get them off!

I born on Jan 25th, 1980. So having remembered very little of the 80's all i know is that I am happy to have made it out of that era. Funny thing is same for the 90's. I have never been as happy as I have been now. That's all nice and dandy about Pac-Man and Atari and Nintendo, but us new super freak geeks, Counter-Strike and such First shooter games is what it is all about. I would like to think there was a time when CS didn't exist, but Fortunately those painful memories have been blocked out with a lot of drugs..

lol..

SteinFibers..

Go 2000's !

Edit..

I just read what I wrote..omg...

But Dance/Euro/Techno/Freestyle is where it is at, forget about N Sync and the Backstreet boys and New kids...They all lasted for a combined 3 years anyways. Backstreet Boys are being looked at the same way New kids are now..and N'Sync will be there soon too. The 90's gave way to sooo much freedom and idependance, and even tho I consider myself a homophobe, I still respect individual people's rights to do whatever they want as long as it does not directly effect others. Keep whatever it is you do in the bedroom and no one will ever know..that's my theory... The 90's is when really the time when anything was allowed to happen. (cept for real sicko stuff) And that's why 90's is better than 80's ...(for me)

My new tennis shoe had a little red ball(keds) on them nothing fancy like a Swoooooooooosh.
The 60's ROCKED

I would like to say I remember my shoes from back then..but sigh....a bit before my time...lol...

I think I wore whatever my parents bought and my parents bought whatever was under $30!

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.
