Most of all, the music. VERY little of today's music appeals to me in the least.
I also miss Schoolhouse Rock, I bought a video of one so far--but it would be nice if my kids could learn things there like I did.
I also miss the fashion--or lack thereof--I mean, I'm not saying we were the most fashionable generation necessarily--but compared to the things you can buy for kids nowadays--ugh! 80's take that hands down!!
And finally, teen movies. Long live John Hughes!! I mean, what the hell is all this trash now? One thing about that--my husband and I watched 'American Pie'--at their dance towards the end, did anyone besides us notice what song was playing?? If not, it was OMD 'If You Leave'...all we could say was "We've seen Pretty in Pink...you are NO Pretty In Pink!!!!!!!!"

Subject: Definitely the music, but... *PIC*

...I think most everyone would agree that the fashion was also a great part of the decade. Nowadays it seems as if the only way to make a great fashion "statement" is to be lewd, rude, and plain crass. Hey, I'm not saying I have anything against the human form, but enough is enough. There are certain limits and boundaries regarding fashion - I LOATHE seeing a boy's boxer shorts and it is absolutely CRIMINAL for a girl to wear Cargo pants (also showing her boxer shorts - ugh!). And the hairstyles - ugh! Sharon Stone USED to be beautiful until that 'do of hers.
Fashion, good fashion, is what is missing today.

Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me" from
The Breakfast Club" was being sung during the
dance. I noticed that!!
