weyes Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 the reason stuff comes back in style and fashion every twenty years (do you remember how, in the nineties, people were wearing the embroidered seventies' bell bottoms, platforms, and clogs again, for a bit? that didn't last, praise be.) is 'cause the people who are in "deciding what's in" are reminiscing. someone mentioned earlier in this thread the blue eyeshadow; have you seen the ripped punk shirts that are currently on the runways? what about the atari and pac-man t-shirts the kids are wearing? we're getting nostalgic, and the young people who weren't around then wish they had been.cool.

I had a history teacher that pointed that out while I was in highschool in the 80's. It's true, in the 70's there was a HappyDays type 50's thing going on...in the 80's everyone wanted to be a 60's flower child...in the 90's those 70's bellbottoms came back...and in 2000, well, get out the hairspray girls we're going back to the 80's!!

cmb1975 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 If you answer "Yes" to any of the following, you too are a part of the 80's! Have you ever seen a movie with Corey Feldman/Haim or Molly Ringwald? Did you know of River Phoenix before his drug habit and death? Did you ever refer to an Apple IIe as "the best technology has to offer?" Have you ever used the words: Gnarly, Rad, Tubular, Dude, or Boss? Have you ever thought Madonna was like a virgin? Have you ever stayed up all night playing the original Super Mario Brothers, Frogger, Pac-Man, or Space Invaders? Did you ever try to do the "flying crane" while imitating Ralph Machio? Have you ever blamed losing on being the pink hippo? Did you ever try to memorize the McDonald's Menu Song? Did you know the Artist formerly known as Prince when he was just Prince? Did you ever idolize Ferris Bueller and think that Matthew Broderick was just as cool? Have you ever gotten tennis elbow playing "pong" with those sweet twisting paddles? Have you ever bought a slap bracelet? or put your pants in french cuffs? Have you ever invested in a pair of parachute pants? Have you ever wanted to ride in the Silver Spoons train? Ever wonder why Hot Rod took over for Optimus Prime when some other transformer was put in charge in the movie? Do you remember when Sargeant Slaughter was an action figure, cartoon figure, and a pro-wrestler? Do you remember when MTV used to play music? ------------------ The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
