favoroite 80's trends
 

what are they

the haaaair !!!!

I've arbitrarily split the 'crazy ass hair' category into 'good crazy ass hair' and 'bad crazy ass hair', and so I am therefore voting for the 'good' part of 'crazy ass hair'. My favourite examples are Mr Tony James (left) and Mr Martin 'frightmask' Degville, bassist and singer respectively of the mighty Sigue Sigue Sputnik:



Tony in particular looked very cool.

gotta love the leather pants

I really thought this was where our country was headed with law enforcement but no. Another dream lost.

ball squeezing leather pants come from the 70's and in some way, has never gone out of style for certain people

cokehead suicides

Ambiguously gay pop duos!

I went with leather pants, but how could I not choose the hair??
Both I say.

Hair, hair, hair!

Its fun to reminice about a time when mullets were as common as Def Leppard t-shirts.

oh man, rat tails. There a kid at my school with one of those.

i used to have a rat tail like 4 or 5 years ago

my little tribute to darby crash and scott ian

now it's long gone, thankfully

not my favorite trend, (but it is my favorite movie)

bolos & thin ties

Dennis Hopper (as Frank Booth - L) & Kyle MacLachlan (as Jeffrey Beaumont - R)






you wanna go for a ride, neighbor?

oh yeah, now we're talkin'...

I remember there was an Arcade at a mall by my house called Games R Fun in the early 80's. This wasn't no ChuckECheese/Circus Circus etc. shit, it was just wall to wall video games. Those died pretty quickly.

Crazy ass hair

Haha.

Tight leather pants.

there was an arcade like you just described around the corner from my house, i used to go there for hours!!!! and yes, now it's long close. there's still an arcade on the mall near my house, but it has skeeball and tickets to trade for plastic prices, like a small chuckie cheese. but they had top notch games back in their heyday

Grandma keeping it real.

I think the hair is quite possibly the WORST trend of the 80's~

Teddy Ruxpin

and

the video game: Michael Jackson's moonwalker

and my favorite!

Teen WOLF!

Crazy ass hair!

Rupert- But ahh, both Teen Wolf movies? I like the one with Jason Bateman mostly because I'm slightly obsessed with him.

mmm...
leg warmers & miniskirts still make my heart skip a beat, just like when i was a freaky jrhigh kid
....

I put other.

The trend of Teen movies of the time because John Hughes ruled the world and the movies that kind of ripped him off weren't half bad either.

Yep......all three of these were great.

Chuck Taylor All-Star high top sneakers. I still rock the black Chuck's.

My favorite trend back then was making jokes about all the trendy stuff......

Rock bands with big muscles wearing leather. THE POWER OF THY SWORD!!!!! yeah

Did you ever wonder where Sonic Youth got their inspiration for the DIRTY album?

If you want to understand about USA foreign politics, watch this classic movie.

The second one kinda sucked... except when "Chubs" attacked Jason Bateman in his hardcore fencing outfit.

And the classic line, "I just danced with a dog".

The scene where Teen Wolf Too sings "do you love me?" really blew it for me. It was so contrived and really uninspired. I equate it to Ferris Bueller when he sings on the parade. It just sort of made me want to wolf out and punch him in the fucking face.

I was born in 1990 so I never knew the 80s. But I voted big hair.

I lived through the entire 80's decade and had never heard of Manowar until last year. WTF? I sure missed out.
