Thinking about the 80s made me do a little thinking back. Below are some things off the top of my head that were cool back then...

1. Trapper Keepers

2. Parachute pants (not all that cool looking back, but I had a pair)

3. Blue jean jackets

4. Rolled up and tightly cuffed pant legs

5. Converse shoes (all different colors, and sometimes I wore different colors on the same day)

6. Hair bands

7. Mix tapes (shit, it sucked ass when you would sit there all day waiting for that song to record and miss the first of it)

8. Speaking of music... the Walkman.

9. Jams (and, I'm not talking about music)\

10. Alf

11. He-Man

12. Ghostbusters

13. "Just say no"

14. Pencils/cassettes

15. Phone cords on the kitchen phone that were like 150 feet long

16. Be kind, rewind

17. Rubix cubes

18. Colored toilet paper

19. Carpet toilet seat covers

I think I could go on, but I would bet y'all could add more.
I just remembered the party lines, think it was late 80s but could have been early 90s

Choose your most favorite movie from the 80s.

This is really really tough, but I'm going with Breakfast Club.

That's right. I think we have talked about that before. This town was named Blooming Grove. It is where I went to school from 7th-10th grade before moving to Malakoff.
You and John cougar small town

Only the 90s was better for music.
Wrong. The 90's was fucking good. Really, really good. But the 80's was great. Pretty much every genre of music was. Rock, Metal, County, Pop, Rap. (can't believe I included that shit, but I can give credit where credit's due)

The 80's was great from 01 Jan 80 to 31 Dec 89. The 90's were great for about the first half of the decade. Then it slowly started to change. By the end of the decade, shit was turning into a mess. That was when modern music shit itself. There is still some good music out there if you look for it. But there will never be music like back then.

No, there is no compromise here.

The 1990s alternative scene paled in comparison to the music explosion in the 1980s.

That was the era where music videos made music you would have never heard of otherwise become popular.

Otherwise, you were controlled by a disc jockey and Big Records.
This just might be your single greatest post of all time.

And Lord knows there have been a fucking lot of 'em.

You know, I can admit when I am wrong. You are right, the entire decade of the 80s was great, and only a little over half of the 90s was great. That should, technically, give the 80s the edge.

I will retreat back to the shadows.
