pretty much, the best thing about the 80's was the music (mostly the underground stuff) and the cartoons.

I liked the 80's.

pbradley 09.03.2008 09:36 PM

What the hell is all the 80's love now? Is this the logical progression of all the 70's love?

I don't like any decade, honestly, but all I was around for was the 90's and that one sucked shit, too.

atari 2600 09.03.2008 09:37 PM

...erm, speaking of sucking shit...

pbradley 09.03.2008 09:46 PM

Am I getting in the way of your selective nostalgia? Sorry.

Wouldn't I need to want to be punk before I could be called a pseudo-punk?

It's not nostalgia, I'm a product of the 90s.

MellySingsDoom 09.05.2008 06:30 AM

The 80's gave us this monstrosity, let us not forget:

 

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 09.05.2008 12:02 PM

The 80's were a crazy time. . .
actors putting out albums. . .
meaningless hair metal. . .
a crazy republican president. . .
really good Batman movie with the Joker towards the end of the decade. . .



























































Oh wait. . .



 



 



 

SYRFox 09.05.2008 12:14 PM

Yeah, but we have crypto

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 09.05.2008 12:54 PM

And the 80's had Michael J Fox.

What's the difference really?

SYRFox 09.05.2008 01:02 PM

The difference is that crypto does not suffer from Parkinson - yet :D

Rob Instigator 09.05.2008 01:20 PM

every decadde has bad ass music. every decade has bad ass art and movies and everything, all along with it's share of CRAP everything of course.

There are a few differences in the 80's as to now in terms of music video. bands wree not afraid to do goofy shit in videos, nor to look like the regular people they were. since the 80's ended it is nearly impossible to find a band full of ugly ugly motherfuckers on video, like toto, or men at work, or any of a thousand bands with ugly band members.

of course there are exceptions but for the most part this is true


the 4 guys in REM were fucked up looking. they;d never get video airplay these days

SYRFox 09.05.2008 01:26 PM

You're wrong, people are looking like the regular people they are in some videos outside the 80's

Like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-C2Ar4gpi8
Seriously

Cantankerous 09.05.2008 01:30 PM

SYRFox 09.05.2008 01:33 PM
