I've been watching VH1 waay too much, but they're talking about everything from the 80's.

-The Stirrup Pants
-Gremlins
-Billy Idol
-Glowworm

^That's just from 1984


I wasn't alive during the 80's so I'm counting on you guys to tell me what I missed by a decade.

[Elliott]

Judging by the fact that the average user here is between 13 and 16, and I doubt you will get a lot of answers. You would probably have to be over 20 to actually remember any of the 80's.

[Yuki]

Music Man is 21 =O

Doesn't anybody remember ANYTHING?!

Y'know...

Tina Turner..

<_<

[Echo_djinn]

I remember anything about the 80's. Why? Because the 80's sucked...oh wait it's also because I was born on the last year on the 80's.

[Yuki]

>.>;;

Oh wow


It didn't suck!

Not as much as the 90's at least x.x

[Nemphtis]

I got hit by a bike in the 80's. Cut my right arm very badly, spent a month in hospital. There's still a scar from that, I love the scar, it looks like a stick-man.

[Luna]

Born in '89 and always hated the 80's cause they're just...so...corny.

I love gremlins though :B Or did you mean TROLLS?

[Laharl]

born in 87 might of gone on holiday can't remember, what a crappy decade crap technology, music (mostly) and horrific trends

[Platinum Sun]

Wohooo! Yeah, I'm a child of the 80s! The part I liked best was when I was born! 1989; good times...

[Laharl]

good time sthat you can't rember anything about

[musicman2059]

Wait... yuki made this topic based on the fact that I was born in the mid-80s? wtf XD

Maybe I'm just too vain. XD

Anyways.....

- The Mattel Intellivision, though it had come and gone by the time I was born
- The Atari 2600
- The NES
- The Game Boy
- The Genesis/Megadrive
- The PNE rocked in the late 80s/early 90s. Nowadays you head to the fairgrouds to pay an admission fee that's doubled in the past 7 or so years and you get crap.
- Started school in 1988
- Had my tonsils out in 1989

[Yuki]

I didn't make this topic for you

Didn't you read?
I did it for VH1 u.u

And Shebs, I meant Gremlins. Those cute little things that you can't feed after midnight >=O

[Blue]

I was born in 86, but I don't remember much about the 80's.

[Golden Legacy]

I, like Sheba, was born in '89, so I certainly do not remember anything from that decade. For that matter, I don't seem to have any memories until roughly '91/'92.

Although I did own the NES at one point myself, musicman <_<

[Luna]

Yeah D:... I knew about those Gremlins but, I also remember Trolls from...somewhere when I was... little.

Or something.

[l3lueMage]

born in 88, cant remember crap from it and dont want to

[Luna]

...'the heck?

I could've sworn you were born in 87 o.o.

whomg. MATT IS ONLY ONE YEAR OLDER THAN ME. amazeeng D:

It's official: I'm so vain I thought this topic was made because of me.

[Nemphtis]

Gremlins suck, they look like Furby's that were born retarded, so if Furby's suck, retarded Furby's suck even harder.

[Luna]

This gremlin is awesome:

Not this one:

My parents or some adult in my house used to watch that movie all the time and it freaked me out D:

LOL I said that exact same thing to my sister when she watched it when it was on TV. I was like those things a freaky, and then they tried turning them into cute little animals called furby, but furbies you could train...or try to train and then they become self aware and when they are mad they kill <_< Cooncidence?(sp?)

[musicman2059]

I still can't believe they brought Furby back.

That pic that Sheba posted reminded me of something else, too: LOONEY TOONS! I know it's supposed to be more adult-oriented, but I watched that a lot when I was young in the late 80s. <_<

[Sea of Time]

I was born in '90 so I didn't live anything from the 80's. But all you have to do is turn on the radio <_<
I liked Back to the Future those were some kickass movies.

[pHantOm]

Dont remember a thing, lived 2 years in it pooping in diapers eating mushed food and throwing car keys away.

[Sea of Time]

Throwing car keys away? I swallowed the car keys. Worst...baby...ever!

[musicman2059]

Oh, and then there was my first movie... TMNT: Secret of the Ooze. That was either in the late 80s or early 90s.

[Sea of Time]

Was that the second one? Those movies haunt my nightmares.

[musicman2059]

That was the first. Wasn't the second one only released recently?

[Sea of Time]

If it was, it would look a lot better than when I saw it XD.

[Yuki]

one thing i remember from the 80's is..

Madonna @@;

[musicman2059]

Man, funny thing is I never even knew about Madonna until 1997

I hate her old music though.

pish posh!

i love her old stuff!

Material Girl...Vogue...awesome stuff =)

[el_Sethro]

I don't remember it very well because I was only in it for a little over 9 months, but I do love a lot of the 80's music. Rush did ome wicked stuff in the 80's, and Marillion formed and recorded all their best albums in the 80's. I'm not so much for the punk and the hair metal, though.

... and needless to say, if you want the best thing ever from the 80's, just look a few centimetres to the left of my post :P

the 70's where better (that's when the whole prog rock movement started)

I've wathced the gremlin movies despite my age, and, unusually, the second one was better than the first. And gremlins look like Furbys before they eat late at night. (thats when they turn ugly)

I swallowed a deflated tin foil balloon, you know, the ones with the big smilly faces? Amazingly it came out in my diaper, parents didn't know till then. But I'm still here! It's amazing how many things tots can swallow and still live.

[Mycarayne]

Born in '87. Had a pet kangaroo, it bit people alot.

That's all I remember.

[Yuki]

@MR: o.o....KANGAROOS!!! XD

Two Words:
Freddy Kruger

;D

You need to get out more. It's FREDDY KRUGER!!!!

Nightmare on Elm Street (and many sequels)
Freddy vs. Jason

x.x!!!

[musicman2059]

Oh, and you can't forget Home Alone!

...or was that early 90s again?

[Toasty64]

I've heard of those, but I've never watched them.

[Enoch]

I remember very little about the 80s. But I do remember very funny looking jeans. I believe they were called "tapered jeans" as if it were from a far off world. j/k, but I also remember monster sightings. lol! People actualy thought they saw the lochness monster, or bigfoot. Crazy kids!

[musicman2059]

I don't remember the "funny-looking-jeans" (bell bottoms?) however. Then again, I was too young to give a darn about fashion in the 80s.

[Enoch]

I thought bell bottoms were 70s, but naw. I had older siblings who wore skin tight jeans in the 80s. Even the fat kids back then wore em skin tight. :P Poor guys! :blink:

I'm going to try now to forget that last image that is now in my head. ;)

[Yuki]

o_O
how can you mix up generations..?

80's: Stirrup pants are the pants with the little like, thing at the bottom that goes around your foot and you'd put them outside of your shoes.
70's: Bell Bottoms (well, more like late 60's early 70's)
90's: PERMS!

>.>;

[Toasty64]

Oh and about the topic, my favorite pet from the 80's are Pet Rocks! I saw one in an old Starsky And Hutch show, Huggy Bear was selling them to his customers.

[Yuki]

ooo! I have one! His name is Frankie!

I also have a pet freckle on my arm named Charlie! n.n

[Toasty64]

Huh, didn't know people had freckles as pets these days. But...., first muppet (can't remember name):"I have a man who lives in my thumb! His name's Mr. Thimble! He's been to the moon!!.....Twice!", second muppet (kermit the frog) " You're taking advice from a man who lives in your thumb!?!?". Quote from Muppets Treasure Island.

[Sea of Time]

Some people are just too desperate for pets. And that Muppets quote was not funny at all.

[Toasty64]

Was it supposed to be? *ponders this delema* Nope!

[Sea of Time]

Why then, were you giving us a message on what we should do with our secret friend who lives in our thumb.

[Arkarian]

I was born during the 80's but other than that I don't think there where any particularly poignant moments for that decade. When did the cartoon series of the Poddington peas start, was that during the 80's?

[Laharl]

ARKARIAN CHECK YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES NOW!!!!!!!!

Yeah the 80s were ****, i've said this, knowledge of poddington peas is forbidden, and to be honest very sad.

[musicman2059]

And so I'm glad to say that I have no knowledge of it whatsoever.
