I was only born in 1983, but I am completely in love with that decade. The music, the movies, the fashion. Everything. If I could go back and enjoy them at the age I am now, I would.

I will always love the eighties, having grown up in them. I loved pretty much everything about it, at heart I'll always be an 80's gal.

The 80's was simply the best decade ever. Everything was easy going. We played OUTSIDE. We COMMUNICATED with each other
Technology was in its infancy. Everyone got along( for the most part). It was just Great time to be alive. Like most guys alive I too tried to look like Don Johnson from Miami Vice. And I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could. Especially to my freshman year...

My first memories were of the 80s and I've always been enamoured with that era. It just looked and felt different. I grew up with the music, film and tv of the 80s and it's just in my soul.

How many a$$holes we got on this ship, anyhow?!

I am class of '88 as well but I don't miss the decade much. I loved the 90s and 00's more - much more. Probably has something to do with going to school in a town that was mostly wealthy and I was not.

I think CMBL actually shows off that 80s feel better than maybe any other movie ever.

There are many parts of the 80s that I miss. I know they have done movies like "Hot Tub Time Machine" and "Take me home tonight", where they go back/are in the 80s, but nothing compares to the movies and the music etc.
I kind of miss the "romantic comedies", boy meets, girl, gets girl, loses girl, makes devine intervention, regains girl. Then again, it was the 80s formula.

80's looks were very difficult to achieve. I never could get my jeans properly tight-rolled until the look went out of style. Shoulder pads made everyone without a long neck look like a linebacker and they were in EVERYTHING including T-shirts. I remember sitting for hours with painful perm solution in my hair and never could get that big curly head hair. My mom once burned my scalp with the curling iron trying to curl my bangs and it usually took an entire can of hairspray to get those bangs to stick straight up. I remember getting made fun of at school because my bangs fell straight down over my forehead instead stuck straight up then curled.

We were basically the last generation to grow up without a mobile phone and lucky enough that our phones were permanently attached to our homes with a cable!

Yeah, it was mostly all downhill from there.

There were a lot of cool things about the 80´s. The movies, the music, the clothes, and last but definitely not least, Reagan was President during 8 out of the 10 years.
