Why I hate the 80's...(skinny leather ties days)

*gasp!*  *Shock!*  *HORROR!!!*

How can anyone say that they hate the 80's?

Hey, I still have my skinny leather tie >

acid wash, erk! blah yeck!!

Sun and beach faded Levi and Wranglers please. I know I wish you could buy a pair of jeans that freaking fit these days. I mean, no my crotch does not start half way to my knees and yes I do happen to like cuffing the bottom of straight leg Lee's.



If ya hate the 80's you must despise the 90's and 00's. I do..

Acid wash jeans looks like hell. Bleh! Levi's & Jordache jeans never, ever fit right on me.

80s was awesome & fun. Wish I could go by early 80s.

Oh I had Jordache jeans once, went bowling in them and learned why a guy without skivies on and Jordache strapped to their butt should not go bowling...

I used to wear skinny ties, silk ones with acid wash jeans

and Oxford shoes, or loafers, little style gel (or a lot depending) ?

I wore mostly Armani casual and dress clothes with the occasional Versace thrown in.

Now it's Levi's, loafers and Old Navy T's.

parachute pants
die.

What about chicks with Huge Hair?

Ultravox
ABC
Wham
Boy George
Duran Duran
Depche Mode

"new romanic"? Bleeeaaagh!

80's were FUN
That's all I have to say it!
Oh and jarget, It was "Big Hair"

China what I saw was Huge Hair, not Big hair.

I'd buy an acid washed jean any day over a pair that fall halfaway down my butt and where the crotch hangs between my knees, and the legs already full of brown dirt in the front.

The 80's weren't perfect, but it sure beats everything that followed it. Actually, I had loads of fun in the 80's. But then again, it was my teenage years, so of course it was fun.   Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Genesis, Yes, Rush... Ah... memories.

Paxx I agree with the pant thing..In the 70s early 80s, lowriders only hugged the hips, Not half down way the leg..

Some day, they will look back at pics of themselves, roll their eyes, and laugh!

Remember Twisted Sister and all the other bands that had big hair and makeup.

Kiss from the 70's are the only band that can get away with that in my opinion.

I had fun in the 80's too but some of the sh-- I wore was so ridiculous. And some of the music I listened to was sh-- too.

Young man what do you want to do with your life?

yeah Dee was great!

I had a friend George Dolt who came over to my place (party castle as it was known) and he went into the bathroom with a Paper bag and a boombox. Came out 15 minutes later with his sisters Cheer leader uniform on and a wig with make up lip singing "Do you really want to hurt me"

What he did not realize was this girl he liked had come in while he was in there and she had her older brother with her who was home from college

I agree with the whole jeans thing.  What's up with the current baggy-ass
jeans?  Why did we do away with the tight cuffed jeans?  What happened
to mini-skirts and girls looking like girls?  I did a photo generation
thing of pictures out of magazines over the past 50 years  (I wish I could
find it). It's a very interesting progression (maybe regression....I'm not
sure.... )

Shhhhhhhhh........don't mention the Eighties! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.

The '80's in England were even worse than in the U.S.! I wore some TERRIBLE things in the name of fashion.

I remember going out with my two buddies, and we all wore the same thing: Bright red trousers, (the ones with baggy tops and tight cuffs) white shirts and red glittery ties and white shoes (OMG) and our (BIG) hair was sprayed silver. We cruised the city centre in my White Cadillac Eldorado and thought we looked incredible!!

/me curls up and dies of embarrassment...............

I'd like a picture of that, BoXXi!

I bet you would! how much are you offering? (and I forgot to mention....we wore eyeliner too!!! Horrors!)

I got married for the 2nd time in the 80's. That was/is good!

I got married for the first time in the 70's. That plus disco equals not good!

Hey, BoXXi, how about a trade?  I'll send you a picture of me dressed up like CC from Poison if you send me your picture   (I can't promise that I won't publish it, though!)
