      Are you an 80's kid, Kristy..?

      Imagine the trauma of 60's kids... their parents took them or dropped them off at a Monkees concert in 1967 and learned of the Jimi Hendrix Experience was the opening act... BTW we all turned out just fine... with a mild case of manic depression... Scuse me while I kiss the sky... LOL

        but...but...but...Alex P. Republican Keaton was on drugs in the 80s.




        Your lame Boomer generation sucks.

        I was a 90s kid.

        My So-Called Life is where its at. We gave up drugs for some serious over acting and needless drama



        Tears me up every time.

          80s ! What a time to be a teenager ! Latchkey kids, freedom to walk home 5 miles from school. Video game arcades…

          90s ! What a time to grow and be merry, probably the last great decade for the U.S. I think the boomers would agree. And Kristy was too young to be aware of the greatness, just fortunate enough to carry around Polly Pocket stuffed with Trolls and watch My So Called Life

          by the way. I admit I watched my sol called life. And then one day it disappeared. I was like “who the hell is that cute girl? What happened?” Claire Danes. I lost track of her until Homeland debuted

            Regan, AIDS, Lionel Richie having hit records.

            Yeah, you may want to rethink that.

              Kristy you are looking at only the negatives

              what about…
              - VH at their greatest
              - Saturday morning cartoons
              - smaller population
              - cable TV and stealing cable service
              - MTV !
              - too young to join the military and get sent off to CIA missions to overthrow governments
              - Girls not too skinny, not too fat
              - bell bottom jeans
              - good country music
              - mullets
              - snowboarding did not exist
              - doorbell ditch without getting chased by maniacs with assault rifles
              - cars you could actually work on because they were all mechanical

              I could go on but you just can’t relate

                I was an 80's kid, but those examples you provided above are a reminder that hardly everything in the 1980's was worth nostalgizing (is that even a word) over.

                A partial list of things I had no use for in the 1980's (and even less use for now):

                Alf
                Miami Vice
                The Cosby Show
                Family Ties
                Michael J. Fox
                Both of the Batemans
                Debbie Gibson
                Oliver North
                Warrant
                Winger
                Bon Jovi
                Acid wash jeans
                Gary Coleman
                Webster


                But I had fun in the 80's.
                Scramby eggs and bacon.

                  I didn’t watch any of that shit. I watched Magnum PI after tennis practice and I would crash of the couch and watch pro wrestling on the Super Station after skiing all Saturday.

                    I wore Ray Bans and wore a Swatch in the 80’s. Ha! Ha! I’m proud to say I never owned a Members Only jacket.

                          Compared to Trump/Biden, COVID and Ed Sheeran?
