Wallpaper went out in the 70s


I find it funny watching Lewis and Gilbert putting up wallpaper inside their frat house instead of just painting the walls, what a bunch of old-fashioned nerds!

Wallpaper was most certainly part of the '80's. When we moved into our new house in 1983 (the year Revenge of the Nerds would have been filmed) every room in the house was wallpapered. And there was nothing '70's about it. It was the latest in home fashion. I remember throughout the '80's when my parents wanted to repaper a room, they'd get these huge books from interior decorators filled with swatches of different patterns. I'm sorry, but you don't know the '80's if you don't think wallpaper was very much a part of that decade, andersb-36022.
