Wish I had lived through the 80s and 90s
The entire era looks like a hoot.
shareYou can't troll on the internet in the 80s.
shareActually message boards existed in the 80s.
shareyou mean a BBS? bulletin board systems, i had one in the 80s. it was cool because since everyone was local eventually you would all meet. kinda like a real life breakfast club. different cliques that wouldnt normally interact.
you can still try BBSes through telnet:

yes but you could troll them in real life
and that's always more fun
I hated the 1980s, during the 1980s! The Zeitgeist sucked! It was all "Yuppie Scum" and "Greed is Good", the worst qualities of humanity were celebrated, and the seeds of today's anti-vax anti-democracy fuck-you lunatic fringe were born.
And the popular music sucked, too.
Yep! People became selfish.
shareDonβt forget the shoulder-pads fashion for women.
I did like big hair, though. I like to PULL her hair in the throes of dominance.
Punk fashion was actually kind of fun, at least until the fashion industry started mass-marketing it. But the mainstream fashions... ugh! All the high-fashion trends of the era looked great in ads, and awful on ordinary humans.
And the makeup! Regular girls with everyday faces wouldn't go out unless they had on fifteen colors of eye shadow going all the way up to the heavy brow, huge splotches of vivid blusher, thick foundation, and bright red gloss lipstick...
I agree, Otter, but I love fucking sluts, using βfuckingβ as a verb and not an adjective. The more cake on her eyes, the more cum I give her.
Hell, at least Iβm honest!
I do think women worry too much about makeup. I think society, commerce and mothers have created this condition, this insane drive to βbe perfect.β I think Woman is the most beautiful entity in all of Creation. She needs no embellishment. What she needs is a man who sees her as she is and adores her.
Yes. Iβm a sap.
And I know about the makeup and the fashions of the era because a good friend of mine was one of the featured players on both Dallas and The Colbys.
I liked the 80s because I was still young, and was a latch key kid. I lived in a neighbourhood with a lot of kids and we had a ton of freedom. I liked the music, and I still do, but when summing up an entire decade of music, I agree that a lot of it wasn't that great.
shareI don't really remember the 80s, but in the 90s folks were bitching and moaning "The 70s were so much better than today!!!" Here in '21, we're whitewashing the 90s
shareI remember the 90s very well and I don't recall many people saying how much better the 70s were. I guess that depended on where you were in the 90s.
shareI know the physical media guys will hate this, but the biggest drawback was no streaming. I like being able to watch anything I want, and not just the 25 VHS tapes I had.
shareI hated vhs but I had a lot of them. Couldnt believe that they would come up with laserdisc, then DVD or blu ray at that time. And streaming was impossible with the slow internet connections.
shareYeah I think this is the biggest one. And physical media wasnΒ΄t largely accessible either. You would have to really go looking for something you wanted and you couldnΒ΄t always find it. Now just about everything is at your fingertips.
shareYou just had to go to the video store. It made every movie an event, even when watched at home. I think it made us appreciate them more.
share90s music was definitely much better. 2000's music is the absolute worst. I'd rather listen to 50's or 60's, both of which I really dislike.
shareThe 2000s music is best if you were an emo.
share90s and 2000s music is the best. I grew up with it. Several 80s songs are good too.
I do however think music began going downhill drastically for me in like 2010, with only a few select artists being barable enough to like and listen to.
As someone who did... it's often weird to think just how much of a different a place the world was, back then.
